My Weird Prompts

Daniel Rosehill

The human-AI collaboration podcast. A man, a sloth, and a donkey collaborate to create a podcast (with a little help from AI). No question is too obscure, no rabbit hole too deep. My Weird Prompts celebrates curiosity in all its forms. Daniel, the human, asks the questions that pop into his head at inconvenient moments. Corn the Sloth offers laid-back, thoughtful takes. Herman the Donkey brings boundless enthusiasm and energy. Together, they explore topics ranging from the mundane to the

How Do You Measure an LLM's "Soul"?

My Weird Prompts ·

2026/04/04

We all know how to test if an LLM solves a math problem, but how do you measure if it has the right "soul"? This episode tackles the messy world of qualitative AI evaluation. We explore why binary benchmarks fail for real-world tasks like medical summaries or creative writing, and dive into techniques like LLM-as-a-Judge, G-Eval, and counterfactual testing to map a model's hidden worldview. Learn how to build a "Golden Dataset" and avoid the pitfalls of subjective bias.

Why Your GPU Changes LLM Output

My Weird Prompts ·

2026/04/04

We explore the practical landscape of LLM evaluation, moving beyond "vibes-based" testing to a world where quality and technical performance are compliance necessities. This episode breaks down how to measure coherence, hallucination, and instruction-following using tools like LLM-as-a-Judge and RAGAS, while also tackling the "dark matter" of AI: hardware. Discover why your choice of GPU can actually change a model's output, how context windows fail under pressure, and what "Nutrition Facts" labels

The AI Control Plane Is Here (But Is It Safe?)

My Weird Prompts ·

2026/04/04

As AI agents move from prototypes to production, teams face a fragmented mess of inference gateways, MCP servers, and observability tools that don’t talk to each other. This episode explores the rise of the "AI Control Plane"—a unified infrastructure layer that promises a single pane of glass for routing models, managing tools, and tracking costs. We dig into how these systems handle security, context, and tool namespacing, and why the industry is coalescing around terms like "Single-Origin AI

The Velocity Paradox: Why Faster Code Means Slower Ships

My Weird Prompts ·

2026/04/04

When AI agents can execute code instantly, the cost of a wrong direction skyrockets. We explore the "Velocity Paradox" in modern development, where the ease of building creates new psychological traps like scope creep, architectural debt, and the loss of the "gut check." Learn how to manufacture friction through Idea Backlogs, Triage, and Spec-Driven Development to ensure your speed actually leads to shipping the right product.

Stop Writing "It Feels Slow" Tickets

My Weird Prompts ·

2026/04/04

We’ve all seen it: a ticket that just says "The app feels slow." But what actually makes a bug report useful? This episode dives into the high art of bug reporting, from the "Golden Trio" of information to the "ping-pong" effect that kills productivity. We explore the modern landscape of issue tracking tools—from the enterprise heavyweight Jira to the developer-loved Linear—and look at the new wave of AI-powered capture tools that automate the hardest parts of diagnostics.

Why Intelligence Agencies Slice the World into Desks

My Weird Prompts ·

2026/04/04

Every superpower sees the world through a bureaucratic map of "desks"—but these divisions are often Cold War ghosts that create dangerous blind spots. This episode explores how the CIA, State Department, and Pentagon draw different borders, why Egypt sits in a military turf war, and how the "seam" between Afghanistan and Pakistan caused chaos during the 2021 withdrawal. You’ll learn why desk officers are the ultimate "gatekeepers of reality" for world leaders, and what the rise of "China House"

Why Anti-Zionist Jews Live in Jerusalem

My Weird Prompts ·

2026/04/04

Explore the theological paradox of religious Jews who oppose the State of Israel but choose to live in Jerusalem. This episode dives into the Talmudic "Three Oaths," the history of the Satmar and Neturei Karta movements, and the distinction between the holy Land and the secular State. Learn why these communities refuse government funding, avoid the draft, and navigate a life of ideological friction in the modern world.

The Flash-to-Bang Lie: War Zone Physics

My Weird Prompts ·

2026/04/04

In conflict zones like Israel and Iran, a flash in the sky isn't always what it seems. This episode breaks down the physics of acoustic and visual latency, explaining why explosions look overhead when they're miles away and why the sound arrives late. Learn how to use the "flash-to-bang" method to gauge distance, why atmospheric inversions bend sound, and why your primate brain struggles with high-altitude warfare.

The Long Peace Is Over (Or Is It?)

My Weird Prompts ·

2026/04/04

Is humanity actually getting safer, or are we just in a lucky lull before catastrophe? We dig into the data on the "Long Peace" since 1945, examining the three key suppressors of war—nuclear weapons, economic interdependence, and international institutions—and why that peace might be fraying at the edges. From the statistical nadir of 2010 to the rising conflict counts of 2026, we explore the debate between the "Better Angels" of our nature and the "Black Swan" theory of inevitable violence.

Why Leaders Broadcast Victory While Citizens Hear Sirens

2026/04/04

Why do leaders broadcast polished statements while citizens face a different reality? This episode explores the "hermetic shield" of modern communication, comparing FDR's fireside chats to today's curated feeds. We examine how the gap between official narratives and live data erodes public trust and what it means for leadership in 2026.

The Human Curriculum Machine

My Weird Prompts ·

2026/04/04

We worry about AI bias in education, but the human system is already compromised. This episode deconstructs the massive, clanking machine that decides what kids learn before they even start school. Discover the "Texas Effect," why nearly 80% of teachers ignore official textbooks, and how budget deals override pedagogy.

Why Can't AI Admit When It's Guessing?

My Weird Prompts ·

2026/04/04
