Baked and Awake
Episode 124- Baked GPT
2.16.2023
In this episode, I relate a story written by Chat GPT based on a prompt I constructed for it. I’ve included a link to the full, unedited transcript of the conversation here in the show notes. I made this episode because I believe this technology is the next big disruption and the first one in a while. This directly relates back to many conversations we have already had on the podcast about the interesting and terrifying technology known as Deepfakes. Join me as I learn all I can about the rapidly evolving landscape of AI Conversational Models, AI Powered Art tools, and more.

Episode 123
SMOKE RESPONSIBLY MY DUDES
Intro
Welcome back, it's been a while, but we’re back together again. Consider this a test to weed out all the fair weather listeners- if you’re still here, you passed the trial! There will be cake served at the end of this podcast for all. Now, I’ve been keeping busy as I’m sure you all have in your own subjectively protagonistic worlds. Everyone in my family and circle as far as I know, is doing pretty well, certainly nothing to report or to complain about. I trust and hope that wherever you are listening to this right now, you are well. Well enough anyway to take a little time to sit for a few moments with me while I tell you a couple of stories That I found interesting. Maybe join me for a puff, maybe don’t. Both states of being are compatible with the vibe here on Baked and Awake. If you’re listening here on Youtube, smash that like button, subscribe and share the channel, and be kind to each other in the comments section, where I hope to hear your thoughts on anything I talk about during this episode. Watch/listen till the end for me to really help my retention numbers and as a result, become more visible to new listeners through the all powerful algorithm. Algorithms? Is it one, or more? Nevermind but that might be foreshadowing…
First up today I want to more or less introduce a topic that I really was only ever dimly aware of- a technology semi lost to history, but from the not very distant past as I see it. That technology is something out of a steampunk novel or fantasy film, or so I kind of thought, until I stumbled on a video where else but on YouTube (love it or hate it YT has the most content anywhere- don’t @ me). The subject I’m talking about is called Transport Gasifier technology. In short, cars, trucks, trains and boats/ships running on biomass fuels. Wood Powered vehicles. Coal, Charcoal, Wood Pellets, Even garbage (picturing the Doc stuffing rotten banana peels into the delorean’s flux capacitor or whatever it was at the beginning?ending of Back to the future II before flying off into space time once again…)
-Gasifier Transport Technology
How Gasification Works
A treasure of a forum post about wood powered motorcycles
A hundred years of wood powered vehicles GenGaz Lagunov, Excellent YT Subject matter expert on Gasifier tech.
-My Side of the Mountain and the American Mythology Channel YT. Check out that channel and tell me “They lived in hollow trees” doesn’t give you warm fuzzy feelings as you remember the first time you ever watched the “No Trees on Flat Earth” video… Comment your thoughts down below if you’re listening on Youtube,
-Do already ubiquitous AI’s like Chat GPT pose an existential threat? Should we experiment with it here on the Podcast? Hah, too late! Does all this eventually circle back around to our prior discussions about Deepfake videos?
-Side note: There was a Recent attack on US power Grid in OR, WA, and North Carolina
- What early episodes to remaster for better audio? Suggestions? I’m thinking about the Norb Theory and Mel’s Hole, Possibly Maury Island to start..

Welcome, updates, thanks to supporters, hello to new listeners and subscribers. Solid State Flight? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGM4JXVB5FM As inspired by Andreas Xirtus excellent and largely overlooked videos from two years ago, here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PejmKpgx-Wk here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouJ8fj7Rf98 and here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdz-lPafN7k Adoption is Trauma Help me with this story by sharing your experiences- Is the Self Storage Industry a Scam? $5Billion in unused goods in people’s homes, cluttered garages and homes, moves for work and more create the need for self storage industry. 10% of households in US rented a unit in 2020? Deaths, defaults, and abandonments mean much of these goods stored go unclaimed. Death, Divorce, Displacement, Disaster causes for needing storage. $38 billion market. The industry has greatly benefited from the covid pandemic. Public Storage (biggest co) Initially numbers went down, then went way up due to a robust Housing Market (read: housing bubble), High Earning employees working from home, and an abandonment of expensive urban markets as people embraced new hybrid and remote work models caused a strong growth in demand for Self Storage of nearly 3% in less than one year. Doesn’t sound like all that much but remember Public Storage makes about $3.5 Billion a year as of 2019, so around 10.5 million. Covid was described by the CEO of smaller Self Storage company Neighbor as “A major growth driver for our business”.

Baked and Awake Podcast 121
October 14 2021
Algorithms, Bots, Corporate, Internet, Social Media, Content Drift, Link Rot, Internet Rot, Potemkin Village , Google Search results, Deepfakes, Misinformation, FB Whistleblower, The Dunbar Number, Social Engineering Theory, COINTELPRO, Forum Sliding, Gaslight culture, Straw Men, Memetic weaponization, Devils’ Advocate, Verifying the identity of someone on the internet is hard! Voice actors
In politics and economics, a Potemkin village is any construction (literal or figurative) whose sole purpose is to provide an external façade to a country that is faring poorly, making people believe that the country is faring better. The term comes from stories of a fake portable village built by Grigory Potemkin, former lover of Empress Catherine II, solely to impress the Empress during her journey to Crimea in 1787. While modern historians agree that accounts of this portable village are exaggerated, the original story was that Potemkin erected phony portable settlements along the banks of the Dnieper River in order to impress the Russian Empress; the structures would be disassembled after she passed, and re-assembled farther along her route to be viewed again as if another example.
Dead Internet Theory- what is it and why do we care?
Hello, welcome back once again to the Baked and Awake Podcast. I know it’s been a few weeks since I read you all the story of The Smoky God, which if you missed it came back in September in two parts- but we are back together at the desk today to talk about a number of more contemporary matters, some of which I’m openly asking for your assistance with as regards fully understanding the matters described in the contents of one particular website I found recently while researching the initial topic, The Dead Internet Theory. Sounds awesome, doesn’t it? Dystopian even. I’m sure there’s an episode of Black Mirror about this out there somewhere, you know I never finished that particular anthology probably because it was all too believable to me, maybe. So, to explain a bit- the Dead Internet Theory seems to have come into existence just over the past year now online in forums like 4chan, reddit, and one much lesser known and truly unique community that I learned of called Agora Road, where threads discussing the extent of the theory have been written and heavily commented upon. Personally, I think I came across this on YouTube, where just a few but quite decent short pieces have been made on the topic, and I’ll leave links to them below- and those videos sent me off a researching, including to a referenced recent journalistic piece written on The Dead Internet that was printed in The Atlantic back in August. I’ll also be linking to the full article, but please be advised I believe The Atlantic only lets you read one or two articles per month without subscribing to the mag, so if you’ve just been bouncing off their website daily lately reading all their content like some kind of High falootin news addict, well you might just bump up against their paywall. In that case I guess listen to me for a few more minutes then go find those videos in the description or show notes. Long time listeners of the podcast will probably be well on their way already in terms of deducing what this is all about. This theory is right in line with topics we have been talking about for years now here on the podcast, right? Deepfakes, Artificial Intelligence, Pervasive Mass Surveillance and Social Engineering- Cybernetics, Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars. Those are all homework assignments for new listeners by the way. Pretty much every phrase I just uttered there is a past show topic on one or more occasions, so feel free to dive into those archives because that’s what they’re there for, and every show I’ve ever produced includes a detailed show notes section with the resources I used to come up with the episode you’re listening to.
And now, let’s have a look at the think piece from The Atlantic to get a clear picture of what this dreadfully believable theory is all about. The piece was I think very well written by its creator, Kaitlyn Tiffany, so let’s, shall we?
Former Colleague of mine from LinkedIn: Last summer googles results after the 5 or 6 item totally turned to garbage link bait, ripped and sliced diced sentence fragments that had logical meaning to the index but only negative net value. Especally frustrating if it was a technical paper that had citations, references to it were always to some sort of site that was craled and had its ip address in the results. Its gotten better, but it was a dark hole there for a while.
DEADGPK YT: I have only heard of it a few weeks ago as a full theory. Before there have been many things about AI being able to create things such as music, art and I believe there's an AI that even runs a YouTube channel. I have also looked into the digital influencers that have become popular or the years and they started around 2017 if i remember. While it's an interesting theory and definitely worth discussions, I'm not totally convinced it to the point of total AI take over. But it seems that it is definitely headed in that direction. Much of the interaction on social media seems manufactured to the point where you will see several accounts post the same exact thing. Bots are definitely used these days and it for the spread of misinformation imo.
Anecdotal from Nicole: Yesterday Nicole told me that she saw a post (likely on IG) that said something about “Conservatives are now waiting for Progressive accounts on Twitter to promulgate tweets that they know to be false out on the platform, and only when they know the meme has gained sufficient traction to maybe get to trending, they mass report the posts therefore often causing many people to be either suspended or banned from the platform. I said “that sounds like Culture Hacking to me”
What is Cult State? A Website I found while researching The Dead Internet. Help me understand what we’ve got a hold of here, and let me tell you what I’ve seen so far.

NOTE: Original Video recording of this conversation lives on YouTube at the Baked and Awake Channel. Aired on 24 March 2021.
Welcome. Listeners of the podcast who have been with me any length of time will be to some degree aware of my reasons behind doing this podcast and some of the different sources of inspiration that I drew upon when coming up with the concept of Baked and Awake. However, at a moment like this I find myself reflecting upon such matters, especially as I prepare to bring you today’s episode.
I’m streaming live on youtube today, and bringing you all a very special guest, a bona fide celebrity, and in my opinion a man whose contributions to society will continue to be viewed as only growing in stature the longer he lives and continues to bring his unique comedy and social commentary to the world. Indeed, I’m just as confident that in the years and decades to come in the future, by his work and people’s memories- that the legacy of Tommy Chong and his life long artistic expression as one half of the legendary comedy duo Cheech and Chong- will be one that will stand tall and proud for devotees of the plant everywhere.
I say without hyperbole that Cheech and Chong’s “Loveable Stoner” characters were and remain crucially important Archetypes in breaking down and putting to rest the antiquated notions of Cannabis Users being dangerous, unhinged psychopaths in the making. During the early 1970’s as Cheech and Chong released their first comedy albums to a public who probably didn’t suspect what they were about to hear- America and The World largely still regarded Pot Smokers in such dangerous terms as I have described. The manic characterization put forth in 1936’s Reefer Madness had taken a firm hold in the imaginations of members of Straight Laced Society, and had by then been relentlessly drilled into the psyche’s of every young person growing up during the Post War baby boom era.
By lampooning themselves more honestly and rigorously than even their most ardent detractors, the Duo of Cheech and Chong in some ways snuck up on the world and made people love them despite their obvious passion for what many of them still thought of as “the Devil’s Lettuce”.
As Cheech and Chong slowly became first household names, later verbs (“Let’s go Cheech and Chong out back, man”), and finally- adjectives (“Are you Cheeched, or what?”), everyone who had ever been exposed to their comedy had been infected, in a way like a virus- but perhaps more accurately like a meme. They did this in what, looking back at it now, it still looks like it was a vacuum. Name a more iconic weed culture duo from the 70’s, 80’s, or 90’s- I’ll wait.
Cheech and Chong released their first album in 1971. I wasn’t born until 1974, so by the time I was old enough to understand WHO Cheech and Chong were, they were already so far past their initial rise in popularity that even as small kids who certainly had never even seen someone smoke anything other than a White Owl cigar- we nevertheless DID who Cheech and Chong were. As my generation grew up and eventually started to experiment with social drinking and finally smoking- we would, as if of one mind- perform credible sounding impressions of Chong’s Shaggy esque drawl, as well as Cheech marin’s Chicano bravado, quoting but much more often misquoting bits from their iconic movies as we would engage in the rituals of preparing to smoke, the act itself, and during the enjoyment of its effects.
At after work gatherings someone loudly calls through a closed apartment door the stoner mating call of “Dave’s not here,man!”, to any knocks, or jumping in the car after a session, and before taking off out of the spot turning to their driving partner and giving them the old “Hey man, am I driving okay? To which a loyal friend could be relied upon to quickly rejoin “I think we’re parked, man”. Some members of the audience can be forgiven for thinking that line came from the latter day cult classic, Super Troopers- but I think it’s fair to say we know where the hilarious and creative people at Broken Lizard drew that little moment of inspiration from. Similarly, I will say that every comedian, musician, youtuber, or podcaster who has walked in Cheech and Chong’s footsteps over the past forty some years owes them a deep and direct debt of gratitude for forging a path that others have been making their careers on ever since.
Tommy Chong has seen a lot in his time on earth and in the public eye, including the inside of a federal prison, where he spent 9 months serving a sentence for supposedly illegally shipping poisonous, spike covered, weapons grade bongs. This is something that I kid about, but only because we must laugh at some things, because not to laugh is to perhaps cry at the absurdity of a so called Justice System that makes such a thing even possible. Tommy himself will tell you not to pity him, that his time under incarceration was one of reflection and personal growth. He might also tell you that he met a few people inside that were serving much longer sentences than himself, and for far less damnable offenses.
You’ve been subjected to this long introduction today because as i prepared for this show over the past couple of weeks, I realized that in a very real way, I owed a lot of my personal sense of pride at being a cannabis user and indeed my inspiration to stake my claim in the podcasting space as a cannabis associated personality and brand- that this came from Cheech and Chong teaching the whole damned closed minded world- that stoners are people, too.
Personally, I can’t wait any longer to meet this man, and to hear more from him about the adventure that surely must be, being Tommy Chong.

Spooky Szn Special (Episode 110)
October 31st 2020
Roanoke Island’s Lost Colony
Today on Baked and Awake
My First Conspiracy- The Lost English Colony of Roanoke Island. This is both a Ghost Story, therefore fitting for a show released on Halloween, and to my mind a compelling example of competing versions of history that can be found not only here, but in so many stories we have preserved and related as “facts” throughout human history. I’m about to share with you a whole bunch of very well documented details that I nevertheless doubt you’ve heard anywhere else. As I am indicating, this is a story many, if not most of you think you already know. I hope today to at least tell those of you in that camp a little bit more than you knew before, maybe a lot more- and for those fortunate enough to be learning about the Lost Colony for the first time today, I welcome you most warmly of all, and I promise to treat this opportunity of telling you this tale as the honor that in many ways it is. As always I’ll remind you that there are detailed show notes for every episode and I usually include just about every source I cite during the show so that you can perform your own research to your satisfaction should you care to investigate further. talktous@bakedandawake is the email to use if you want to get in touch and talk further about any questions you have, or for anything else, really. Now, to do this Roanoke story any justice whatsoever, we are gonna have to use my personal Temporal Panopticon, otherwise known as a 2018 Mac Mini with two thrift store displays and a just decent broadband internet connection. We will use this magic mirror in order to peer into the mists of time. And since this time machine is so powerful, we have the opportunity to not only travel back to 1587, the year of the founding of the famed Lost Colony, but indeed to two years earlier, when the first colony at Roanoke was founded, only to be abandoned in only about 9 months. But really, why would we stop there? Because even in 1585 there were more colonies and “expeditions” also known as “raiding parties” than I can easily count, so much so that we will come back to this point in a few minutes after we ever so briefly take a moment to remember, and to a small extent name, the existing inhabitants of the lands in question, which were at the time of this particular moment in history, already engaging in persistent, decades long campaigns of trading, raiding, and enslaving the indigenous people of North America for the enrichment of themselves and their European Patrons, and with an eye to completely acquiring said lands while subduing the People of those lands. This destiny and mission was laid out from just about Day One, as far as I can tell. This episode promises to be a long one. I’m talking plug in your phone, grab a cup of tea, roll something extra frosty up and probably pack a backup bowl because the ride is long and bumpy, and ends in a book from the 1970’s that I found on my own bookshelf that I just knew had to have a little tidbit for me. And that book did not disappoint. And now, away we go, starting with...

The disappearance of the Roanoke colony remains one of the oldest unsolved mysteries in North American Colonial history. The1587 campaign by John White to establish a British Colony in North America was financed by Sir Walter Raleigh.The location was to be one Roanoke Island, just off the coast of North Carolina. They landed that July and established themselves rather quickly. Everything seemed to be going well for the thriving colony of 115 people. In fact, John White’s daughter, Eleanor Dare, gave birth to a daughter while in Roanoke. Virginia Dare became the first English child born in the Americas.”

Episode 109
September 21 2020
The Prepping Issue
Terms: Prepping, Survivalism, Bushcraft, Herbalist, Homesteading, Lost Ways of Living Types of Preppers: CDC and FEMA Emergency Prep Types aka “Straights”, Self Professed Practical Preppers- generally normal types who for some reason have the preparedness mindset. Some of these people might come from families with strong ancestral memories of times like The Great Depression or other adversity, and generally do not present as being “Preppers” but more of a pragmatic, well stocked household. Full On Preppers- These are your Red Greens and Dale Gribbles of the world. This type of prepper is a little more upfront about their lifestyle, and may selectively share tips or theories with neighbors they trust, as they seek to feel out who their SHTF community members will be. Red and Dale still live in the normal suburban neighborhood. They mow their lawns, and they have a portable generator, maybe even a tent trailer or some other modest but always at the ready Bug Out vehicle parked in the driveway. They are an Eagle Scout, or some member of their family was- and they will rely on this very special set of skills to see them through any foreseeable catastrophe. Scrooge Mc Duck precious metals hoarder Bushcrafter- can camp forever Hoarder- Well stocked but immobile, sometimes weird Gardener/Hippie Type- Some skills, often lacking in Defense Tactical Prepper- Possibly an effective ally or a dangerous Raider in the Making The Accidental Prepper- CDC Type Power Outage Emergency Preppers
I’m not including links to other prepper channels here this time around, but if you want specific help in finding a few good channels, DM me on Instagram or email me at [email protected] and I’ll help you out.
