I started using NotebookLM two days ago. The experience is transformative. Grounding the LLM in the source documents establishes a trustworthy research environment. It encourages experimentation and sparks creative thinking. NotebookLM has changed my approach to research.

Apparently dropping into another language is an element of fluency for polygots, their mind looking for the best word to express a concept regardless of language.

The best example of this is from a co-worker, who was from Ukraine. She was speaking to her mom on the phone in Ukranian (or maybe Russian, I couldn't tell) when I overheard her use the word "snafu." When she got off the phone, I asked her if I'd heard correctly. She said, Yes. And I said, "Are you telling me there's no word in Ukranian or Russian for 'snafu'? Russia's whole history could be summed up as 'snafu.'"
