TOTG EXPERIMENTAL SERIES BY A.I. // CAPITALISM

Top Of The Game (TOTG) fed Google’s NotebookLM a few documents, one of them: Milton Friedman's September 1970 essay, "The Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Its Profits.". We also fed it a few published recently looking at the viability of the profit maximization a.k.a. shareholder primacy premise in the context of capitalism evolving and the tension of the stakeholder/shareholder push and pull. The jaw dropping synthesis NotebookLM produced is the podcast you are listening to. We gave it the inputs and the machine created a conversation, the future is happening now in other words.

NotebookLM is a Google AI experiment that allows users to upload content - PDFs, text files, websites, YouTube video links, copied text, Google Docs and others. to a “notebook.” Each notebook is a folder that can contain dozens of discrete content items that you choose and control and of which one can ask questions, write new content based on the inputs, summarize and synthesize, basic but compellingly powerful inference analysis.

One of things NotebookLM can produce as an output is an “audio overview”, essentially a conversational style podcast-like dialogue between a male and a female rendered personas. The summaries aren’t weird or artificial, nor robotic fact recitations. They are conversations, human sounding. The subjects pause, hesitate, summarize and conclude, use “ummms and ahhhs”, natural and eerily human interventions and interruptions. It’s in equal parts amazing and halting. This conversation about capitalism is the output of one such NotebookLM.

Note: Our production company will continue to employ Javier to host the podcast. We are renegotiating his contract and hope to reach an agreement in the near future. Fans, stay tuned.
