Arvid Kahl

Arvid here, I run Podscan. When we transcribed that episode, it appears that a German ad was injected by the podcast hosting company.

Look behind the service: some of our servers are located in Germany, so the podcast service thought a German was listening to it and decided to inject a Persil ad.

Wooohooo :D Only took two years to get Google to rank things well enough ;)

Appreciate the shoutout!

I have no affiliation with Wispr - but saw devs like @arvidkahl.bsky.social use it and love it, tried it, and stopped at their offices to learn more.

A really cool team, neat idea + execution, and they somehow got the world's supposedly largest 3D printed keyboard there as well

What podcasts are people listening to?

Seems like a lot of the bootstrapper ones have died recently

I miss the IndieHackers pod a lot and seems like nothing ever replaced it

Im just generally super optimistic! The young people call this delulu, I was told. I believe this tone a term of endearment 🤣

Good idea. When I last checked, auto-cross posting didn’t work. Has this changed?

Sure was ;)

@briansierakowski.com saw this shoutout via Podscan from @arvidkahl.bsky.social

Enjoy the honeymoon phase!

Appreciate this! AND your questions :D

I joined today an incredible masterclass with @arvidkahl hosted by @hypefury.

Here are my key takeaways on personal branding, content creation, and audience building for founders. 🧵👇

Just used it yesterday for the first time, with much success!

Merry 2025 ;)

I just learned about this through @arvidkahl.bsky.social and I think this is amazing. I've been looking for and hoping this kind of thing existed for a long time to help indie founders build more sustainably.

Yah that makes a ton of sense. @arvidkahl.bsky.social is talking about a pretty big product pivot right now that's similar.

A very real startup axiom is, "What got you here, won't get you there"

Also, @arvidkahl.bsky.social is in good company when it comes to my podcast list.

Wow! 😮 Thank you SO MUCH!

The more I use AI “at work”, the more I come to understand that an AI can not love its work.

Anything it produces is unloved, unlovable, and loveless.

That’s great if you want analytical insights and data crunching. It’s terrible for anything supposedly “creative.”

This is why you can't trust user-provided data.

Seen here: a podcast's RSS feed, totally legitimately listing its categories.

Not keyword stuffing at all.

Yay

With nascent social networks like this, how do you feel about “intentional audience building?”

Part of me longs for memories of the past, where people just hung out and didn’t expect any outcomes.

Yet, in reality, most people now optimize for reputation & monetary gain.

So… which is it for you?

I can’t believe that anyone involved feels like this has an overall positive outcome. The whole saga will be in the reputation self-destruction guidebook for decades.

Oh this is sweet. That might be a fun “chat with this podcast” feature for Podscan.

It's "on-device LLM" today.

Soon, it'll be "on-chip" LLM. Or LLM cores. The system default local LLM. The coding framework's default local LLM.

I find this incredibly exciting. A privacy-first, self-contained, user-owned AI—a 24/7 agent for action, insights & feedback.
