A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

In this case, Facebook's 99-page user policy. The results, embedded in the story, are worth a listen. This is is some serious sci-fi shit compared to ChatGPT.

Archive link ... unfortunately, as I feared, the audio didn't work for me. Here is the direct link to the clip.

I edited the title because people thought this was about actual podcasts. It just generates conversational audio about the content.

I stopped listening to podcasts once it became impossible to avoid injected ads. I'll find time to read.

I don't understand what you mean. I just skip the ads with my skip 30 seconds button.

I don't want to skip ads. I want to avoid them altogether. They're intrusive. Especially after listening to the same podcast for a decade, only to suddenly find ads for car companies, and other things irrelevant to me, rudely shoved I to the middle of an otherwise serene experience.

I see, my favorite podcast ("A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs")[https://500songs.com/] has no ads. I'd strongly recommend if your interested in that kind of music

Thanks. I'll check that one out.
