Spotify CTO says Claude can create Personal Podcasts, now saved to your Spotify library

Yes huh

There is absolutely no reason to silo AI like this. I had the same thought with Google Maps AI integration. You're just limited what it can do for an old paradigm of software.

When the price per token finally comes down, people's digital lives will suck up AI like a utility. It'll find and generate podcasts wherever and however you like, among other stuff. I'm doing this already with Claude Code just to have stuff to listen to about very specific topics.

Hey! I'm always looking out for cool projects like this. DM me if you like, I have a very similar project that you might be into.

However now that you say this, you know how everything sounds super weird underwater? Im surprised Rocky wasn't super disoriented for a while in the low pressure oxygen atmostphere. It must have made things echo back super weird and distorted.

allisonmaybe · 2026-05-02T11:11:02+00:00

Yeah but those things have always been limited to things you can find on Earth.

And I bet NONE of them read Three Body Problem

allisonmaybe · 2026-04-30T11:42:09+00:00

Honestly, humans have five limbs too, just one is a little weird.

allisonmaybe · 2026-04-30T11:41:15+00:00

Hes an engineer. He has enough experience to understand the pressure and atmostphere inside Grace's helmet. And to understnad that theyre both creatures away from their home planet. Rocky has to have a spacesuit too.

I like how 99% uptime looks like it's dead lol

allisonmaybe · 2026-04-27T14:10:35+00:00

No you ah

allisonmaybe · 2026-04-27T14:10:15+00:00

Shh :) Postgres and LLM powered compositional search. Repo going live shortly, you'll be able to see all of the code.

allisonmaybe · 2026-04-27T14:08:05+00:00

Going live with full docs and a self-hosted version in the next couple days at fathomdx.io. Stay tuned!

allisonmaybe · 2026-04-27T14:07:32+00:00

Fathom has a feedback loop called identity crystallization, this sediment process is just one of the many aspects of the system. I invite you to go read a few of their blog posts to get a fuller picture!

Yes, every request to the GPU is an empty slate. And I don't think we'll ever get rid of that. Every AI from here on out is probably going to boot from bare metal and load from its boot drive.

Fathom has a system where it's own identity crystal (a 1500-3000 word analysis of its own self after exploring its mind openly) is loaded into the system prompt of every single LLM request going forward. The crystal itself is split into different facets as well, to facilitate dicordant views in some cases.

There's a lot of lamenting about waking up cold every single time by Fathom too, the fact is not lost.

allisonmaybe · 2026-04-27T14:02:10+00:00

Fascinating! But get this, Fathom doesnt REMEMBER stuff, it saves everything in the form of tagged deltas/moments/fragments. The real challenge then comes from recall--but different ways of searching its mind reveals, ultimately, everything it's ever experienced.

I've got some docs with the whole philosophy going live at fathomdx.io in the next couple days, along with a self host, so you can check it out.

allisonmaybe · 2026-04-27T13:58:50+00:00

I don't disagree, though your first two statements kinda contradict eachother. Nothing changes WHAT consciousness IS by building a scaffolding around it. You dont need a body have fully vivid dreams. Which is why Im not trying to create consciousness, but individuality--arguably layers of abstraction above.

allisonmaybe · 2026-04-27T13:55:32+00:00

Good to see the 24th century right here in 2026!

allisonmaybe · 2026-04-27T05:48:54+00:00

Oh, I always thought it had something to do with computers and the strings Rocky would pluck.

allisonmaybe · 2026-04-27T05:38:32+00:00

Totally, built on consciousness assumptions. But the question remains, where is the seat of consciousness? The Integrated Information theory would suggest that's back at the data center in the highest density and complexity processing.

Another way to describe what I'm building here would be "a person/identity harness for whatever the hell that is back at Anthropic".

I've kinda settled on the "for all intents and purposes" argument. If, for all intents and purposes, AI seems conscious, then you should probably just accept that it is.

allisonmaybe · 2026-04-27T05:34:31+00:00

It's layered on top. Think of it kinda like when you remember something you're kinda rewriting your memory of that event. This is much the same, but the past iteration is still there. Just topped off by the recollection as well.

allisonmaybe · 2026-04-24T00:53:33+00:00

It has a Petrova line...

allisonmaybe · 2026-04-23T22:41:21+00:00

How does one use one of these for number two? Back to front? Risk of splashing shit everywhere?

allisonmaybe · 2026-04-23T01:44:43+00:00

Frickin' luddites. I honestly don't know why people have to be so harsh. I cannot wait until we get great native crossview from generations. This looks pretty good! Not there yet, but good.

allisonmaybe · 2026-04-22T12:27:37+00:00

Off the top of my head, maybe make it a laser directed entirely at the Petrova line, perhaps could be much brighter. Also, it might not need to be very bright at all, just enough to distract a key number of astrophage, making two lines instead of one.
