Hurricane Milton has left two worlds in its wake. Elon Musk lives in one of them. The other is called reality - Marina Hyde | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/oct/11/hurricane-milton-elon-musk-natural-disasters

Gosh. Imagine they find the body and camera and it has a photo from the summit. Talk about rewriting history. #Everest #History https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy0g2p47xd5o

@WarnerCrocker Have you listened to the latest ATP? They discuss it and say something similar.

@WarnerCrocker I’ve listened to it now. Which bits did it hallucinate?

Also it seems to like to pad out the last third or so with waffling. Mine has that too.

@WarnerCrocker It had 75% more posts to work with.

@WarnerCrocker I'll listen later.

@WarnerCrocker New 11.5 minute version: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/lgfvxlufgwvxk2kqlg26r/IRTCJourneyv2.mp3?rlkey=7xsaj7jhdn52erz8r6yhqub9n&st=yv1rontc&dl=0

@WarnerCrocker I've given it the other three pages of TC posts and have it generating a new podcast summary.

@WarnerCrocker I’m Looking forward to reading it!

The content was a pretty good summary of the first page of blog results. It didn’t seem to read the other pages. At some point, I'll give it all the posts separately and get it to generate a new podcast using the ten years’ worth of posts.

@WarnerCrocker It's good. Once we can choose the voices, and tweak the parameters (for example, don't mention Ian so much), it'll be useful, especially for those of us with strong regional accents.

What do you think?

Given all the chatter about NoteBookLM and it's audio generation capabilities, I thought I'd give it a try. But what to test it on?

I know! I have loads of blog posts about testicular cancer from about 2003. Why not let it read those and then make a podcast?

It did. And it only took about 15 minutes.

Listen to the 8.5 minutes podcast about me losing a bollock at https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/va578dgxy9pmrgo4b6gp6/IRTCJourney.mp3?rlkey=dbs4rcymip4dqh9hrhsnon4hi&st=zap1znlz&dl=0

Gosh. ☺️

@WarnerCrocker Just realised what you meant in the reply 🤦🏻♂️

@WarnerCrocker I'm checking for typos or mistakes in that post now. Did I make one you saw?

@WarnerCrocker There was an update from 1st October that was waiting to install on my iPhone. That fixed it.

@WarnerCrocker Ta.

Is the @ivory share sheet widget crashing on iPhone for anyone else?

@WarnerCrocker Admiral Fitzwallace in The West Wing. Fab.

@jglypt @WarnerCrocker You should listen to all the albums. In order. You’ll hear some gems. This is on the third album.

@WarnerCrocker @NatashaMH I just say “Give them to someone else.” when cashiers try to give me freebie’s in the supermarket. It’s usually tokens that you collect to get enough for freebies.
