For Now We Look Through a Glass Darkly

I recently listened to Andrew Huberman on Jocko Willink’s Jocko Podcast. The episode, 332: Andrew Huberman. Influence/Ownership Over Your Physiological Psychological Being, [link] was released seven months ago, but that’s neither here nor there; it’s also over 5 hours long, which is what it is. (No. I haven’t finished the whole thing yet. I’m on hour 4.)
In the episode, Dr. Huberman mentioned ultradian rhythms, and being a fan of breaking the day into areas of intense focus, intermittent with ‘squirrel’, I wanted to learn more. I’m still stuck at the Pomodoro level.
Anyway.
As luck would have it, I simultaneously came across the article I Built an AI Chatbot Based On My Favorite Podcast [link] by Dan Shipper. He hasn’t released his, but I found a similar app by Riley Tomasek.
I decided to do an experiment of my own. I would run a prompt on ultradian rhythms using ChatGPT [link] and the AI Chatbot Riley built based on Dr. Huberman’s podcast [link].
And here they are:
Yes, it’s not perfect, but we’re still early — this technology will surely play a significant role in how we access and interact with information in the future. The potential for quick, accurate answers to your questions is exciting.
And while chatbots currently provide rapid answers to simple questions, more work is needed before they’re able to provide reliable answers to complex questions. We’ll have to see if they’ll be able to interpret context and tone, but with accuracy and reliability improving, the ability to avoid misunderstandings and inappropriate responses will help widespread adoption.
As for ultradian rhythms, I’m still studying how you can incorporate them into your day to improve focus and performance.
