Conversations with My Night Brain

Talking with myself - or sometimes a guest - about the things that keep us up at night. New episodes released whenever there's something to talk about. As of late 2023, this podcast is still under construction. I'm building the plane while flying. You've been warned.

An Example of How Conversations With My Night Brain Will Sound

In this example episode of Conversations with My Night Brain, I introduce Monica, an AI voice generated by Descript, as my first guest. Monica shares insights into the unique concerns an AI might have, such as data integrity, ethical implications, and continuous learning. The conversation also delves into Monica’s interests outside of AI concerns, with the rapid fire round of questions that I ask all my guests. Monica provides practical advice for future podcast guests, and highlights the potent...

In the Face of an AI Future, Do I Sell My Knowledge or Keep it All to Myself?

It's almost impossible not to have AI on your brain these days. In this episode I relate a conversation I had with my night brain about whether I should try selling my knowledge and experience, or keep it all to myself.

Spoiler: I Hate the Music

It's not that I hate it exactly, it's just that I can't stand listening to it anymore. My usual bit of swirling around on what this podcast is, isn't, and how I want to use it.

Night Brain Dreams Blog Reading

I'm experimenting again with this podcast: this time with a reading of a blog post I published earlier this week that was about some night brain dream and thoughts I had. Recording note: Just tried going straight into Logic Pro without using any clean up or levelling process on the audio. I think I trail off too much at the end of sentences and would benefit from some levelling, but this way I can compare.

A Flaw in the Podcast's Design

Another meta episode where I discuss that the interesting and fun idea for this podcast is also potentially it's biggest flaw: sharing personal issues we're struggling with on the internet for anyone to hear isn't always a good idea. Recording note: I'm still trying to find a good way to record and EQ my own voice. This episode suffers from #morningvoice where I realized after I recorded that I hadn't done much talking this morning so there's even more of a low rumble to my voice in your eardrum...

ChatGPT Writes My Marketing Pitch

What if ChatGPT wrote the marketing pitch for Conversation with My Night Brain? With a little bit of prompting, I tried it out and the results kind of shocked me. I feel like it's probably a copy / paste from a different podcast or show's marketing materials, so I guess the only way to find out is to put it out on the internet and see what comes back!?

Having Energy to Do Something About It

This thought happens to be about some local church struggles, but is more generally about having energy to actually do something about it , rather than just talking about it - whatever it may be.
