my mother showed me this and its actually fucking insane like i might be tempted to use it
“So you’ve got 20 yards of linen, right?”“…Right.”
“And 20 yards of linen equals one coat, right?”“…Uh huh.”
“But the coat has a use-value that satisfies a particular need, you know? But like, to produce the coat, you need a purposeful, productive–”“Bro! [PLAYS SOUND BOARD SAMPLE OF A FART]”
“Bro.”
Fuck ooooooooff
said Holden Caulfield.That’s like saying "heh, you ate your veggies… like John Harvey Kellogg."
I feel like text to voice has existed for a while. Matt Lech from MR mentioned he used to like turning books into audiobooks and playing nba 2k back in like 2019
Yeah but was it text to voice in the format of an obnoxious bunch of trust fund failson clowns rambling it back to you while trading edgy barbs?
nice
Love that companies can control not just the sources of information but the way it’s delivered.
Requesting a Cumtown version that adds a laughing Greek man and Gay Michael Douglas to everything
Stav Bot lives!
Greek Chorus Greek CacklingI really didn’t miss anything of value by never listening to that, did I?
If you have an appreciation for Beavis and Butt-Head, you kinda did.
For me, a lot of the entertainment value of Beavis and Butt-Head was how other characters reacted to them as they wandered around being dumbasses.
I don’t know if I’d enjoy Beavis and Butt-Head just sitting together and exchanging jabs nonstop.
It was 3 funny dudes kinda working on jokes and sometimes it didn’t work and sometimes they’d land a huge hit and it was the dumbest funniest thing. It was kinda like being a fly on the wall in a comedy writing room and you get to hear all the bits and not just the stuff that made it to broadcast. A “warts and all” experience.
Like the idea of a stereotypical east coast Italian dude who has depression but he can’t admit it because of machismo so tells his therapist he’s “self-pissed.” That bit had me dying of laughter when I was dealing with my own demons and was in denial about getting therapy. I was working outside in 113 degree heat and I was laughing so hard it made me light headed and I was like “lol please don’t let me die of heatstroke because I passed out listening to this stupid fucking podcast.”
There’s some super cuts you can find on youtube that have the best bits. Probably the best way to experience it.
If you can’t appreciate an hour-long bit wherein Eric Clapton repeatedly states a desire to shrink someone down and put them in his ass or become very large and have someone go into his ass and in either case control him with an array of wires and levers like some sort of giant robot then I don’t know what to tell you
It’s got some truly hilarious bits and it’s definitely become sort of a time capsule for the years it was going on, but there are also some bits that I have a very hard time with despite being generally hard to offend.
It is funny at times. Their takes aren’t always terrible either. It is extremely offensive though.
Gay Michael Douglas at the bottom of the sea having sex with crabs will never not have me dying of laughter.
This is a tool called NotebookLM, an “AI first” notebook and study tool. This seems to be a tool for those technically literate enough to want AI in this, yet not competent enough to just string together Obsidian and Llama3.1. AI in notebooks is a marginal boost in productivity at best, and detrimental at worst. Deeply unserious product that is computationally inefficient qua computational inefficiency.
Excited for the future where everyone is totally illiterate.
the future is already here, it just isn’t equally distributed yet
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times - wow, really? Jaime, pull that up. It was the age of reason AND foolishness? Crazy.
“Bro… broooooooo, you know that when you, you know, light a candle… you are also literally casting a shadow?!”
“Holy shit. Mind equals blown.”
improvement of literature intensifies
So text to speech from like 20 years ago?
It’s so, so much worse than that. It injects Joss Whedon-esque banter.
…oh
It uses more electricity now
OK, but hear me out… Capital Vol.1, mixed with poop jokes
Das Crapital
bruh just get an audiobook
mf reinvented text-to-speech
But hear me out, what if text-to-speech, but it comes from a datacenter that dries up lakes and burns coal?
The day we have to offload tts computation to a datacenter will be a grim one
what does this even mean? There has been text to speech for web pages forever (I have to click a whole bunch of fire hydrants to find out)
the “innovation” here is that the AI summarizes whatever corpus you feed it (often in a shallow or incorrect fashion) and then writes a bland NPR podcast script to tell you about it in bland NPR voices
that’s so bad lmao. because that’s literally what the writers of the thing already did to get you the information in the article/book whatever
It’s gonna be really funny when people use this on AI written articles and then it gets AI summarized and you get telephone gamed by your own products
I found out basically it is nothing different from what has already existed in basic text to speech. This is basically just “entrepreneur” repackaging of the same thing that already exists to get people to buy a new thing and justify their investment lol
More proof “”““AI””“” is more of a marketing term than actual artificial intelligence. It’s dot com/blockchain/cloud shit all over again.
no there are actual novel uses and even incredibly good uses of machine learning, This is just absolutely not one of them

Yaeh bcause what I listen to a podcast the one thing always on my mind is “WOW these guys are really good at getting to the fucking point”
I’m reminded of the TrashFuture episode intro where they had ChatGPT write dialogue based on ingesting fifty prior transcripts and coming up with a unique ten minute dialogue. Absolute fucking gibberish, but it did have a handful of riffs that you’d see pop up consistently between episodes.
Excited for all written works to be transformed in this novel and value-adding way.
Just when you thought attention spans and social estrangement and socially-induced narcissism couldn’t get any worse, Silicon Valley proudly introduces something to make the problem even worse!
Now a planet-burning treat printer will entertain you slop hogs with the only thing more sloppy than your regular slop: your own slop, recycled back to you with an obnoxious “influencer” format!They targeted the McElroy brothers. The McElroy brothers.
