alt Hacker News> He likes podcasts, but instead of listening to them, he loads transcripts into the Copilot app on his iPhone so he can chat with the voice assistant about the content of an episode in the car on his commute to Redmond.
I remember reading that when it first came out and all I can think is: No, he doesn't like podcasts, if you like podcasts you listen to them.
That's like saying "He loves food, but instead of eating it he feeds it to an analyzer that tells him what elements were detected in it".
I have to assume it's all BS/lies because if that's a truthful statement (about podcasts and the other things) then I really question wtf they are doing over there. None of that sounds like "the future", it sounds like hell. I cannot imagine how shitty it would be to have all my emails/messages to the CEO being filtered through an AI and getting AI slop back in return.

The podcast thing reads like something he made up that sounds cool and futuristic on the surface, but doesn't actually make any sense. Maybe what's actually happening is he's just having the LLM give him the cliff's notes of the transcript, but that isn't interesting enough so he's making up some BS about having a conversation with the AI.

This was funny to me, because he lives like 8 minutes away.
