Interesting experiment from Google that creates an NPR-like discussion about any academic paper. It definitely suggests some cool possibilities for science communication. And the voices, pauses, and breaths really scream public radio. Listen to at least the first 30 seconds.

A use-case I am waiting for GPT4o voice for is exactly this but more a dialogue between myself and the AI about a topic. Fully understanding with depth a topic doesn’t come from shallow reading, I have to fight with, and argue with and against the information. Thus, an LLM seems a perfect fit if it can keep up with the conversation.

I am so ready to host 24/7 X Spaces with AI, discussing papers day and night!

There's even a whole podcast that does this:

Lol, delve at 1:30ish! But seriously, very cool.

I asked chat gpt to create podcasts from papers. Straight out of the box it was ok!

Bilal2 years ago

Yes - I think there even a bigger opportunity in general to have AI conversations/shows/podcasts between agents. Something about a back and forth vs a single voice makes it feel more 'real'.

All of the content we consume in 5 years will be AI generated and we’ll love it

this is a great little setup for the uninitiated especially. I was able to show this to my dad a couple weeks ago and have him really grasp maybe for the first time just how wild of an era we’re in/heading into

I did this a few months ago, and I feel like my result is a bit more engaging:

NotebookLM from Google is just mindblowing stuff. 🤯 Feed any document, pdfs, URLs or just plain text, and it will create such a realistic discussion on that content. Absolutely falling in love with it. I let NotebookLM, talk about NotebookLM by feeding it just some plain text about NotebookLM 😄 The possibilities are endless.

Former CDC Director Robert Redfield tells about how he first heard about the new coronavirus in Wuhan and quickly understood that it didn’t come from the wet market. “So it really had nothing to do with the Proximal Origin paper (…)It’s really a paper that should be retracted.”

Really cool story from Aaron Rai saying he got a letter from Jack Nicklaus in the mail after his PGA win. "For someone like that to take the time to write to me after the PGA, it definitely shows the class of what Jack is about."

I keep hearing from our customers that Zapier has shipped some of the most interesting agentic behaviors out there. Our customers want to have an agent navigate to a website, scrape the content, and send the data to an app like Google Docs.

Cool voice technology today mostly only works for you if you already have an internal monologue going. So with Huxe we flipped the script: what if we started from a place where you don't have to do any work to make the AI work for you? Don't need to ask questions, no prompts required, just an app that gets to know you and creates cool stuff for you automatically. I really think there's a super interesting foundation for proactive, personalized AI delivered via audio, and it all starts with thoughtful passive content. Longer convo on YouTube / Spotify with Ellis and Alex:

Among the programs targeted for cuts in the White House rescissions package is the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the independent nonprofit created by Congress to distribute federal funds to noncommercial TV and radio stations across the U.S. CPB funds more than 1,500 public stations, many of which produce local news, music shows, and also buy national content from NPR and PBS. William Brangham speaks to Tom Abbott of KFSK, the public radio station based in Petersburg, Alaska, about what's at stake for rural stations.

🚨MAHA Action President Tony Lyons says President Trump and RFK Jr.’s autism announcement is truly historic. “Donald Trump said that he would empower Secretary Kennedy to take really bold, decisive action… I don’t think you can look at what happened today and think that it was anything short of the boldest and most decisive action that could be taken.” “They also said this is the first of many of these kinds of press conferences… the administration really cares about doing real science.” “They see that the science done for the last 20 or 30 years has been fake corporate science.” “Now we are getting gold standard science, total transparency, and we’re going to make progress.” “There are dozens of possibilities for chronic diseases, and they’re going to do research into every last one of them, and follow the science wherever it leads.” “This is real science, real answers… these are historic changes.”

The rest of Michael Foran's talks should go ahead. Freedom of speech is a fundamental academic freedom and it must be upheld. Equally, legitimate and lawful protest has an important place in university life. The task is to maintain both. Especially at events open to the public like this, it is an important Oxford tradition that any disagreement is expressed in a civil and respectful way.

I find it extremely interesting that Trump chose to post a clip from Greg Kelly that opens with an image of Earth “taken from Artemis II” and the byline “The Lie Travels Fast” This stayed on the screen for nearly 30 seconds before Greg went into his story about the 2019 Impeachment Hoax… Something tells me Trump wasn’t just talking about an impeachment hoax. You decide…. 🔗

Another friday afternoon talk in attempt of open science. This is a re-record of a talk I gave at two Chantham House Rules workshops this fall: The History and Risks of Reinforcement Learning and Human Feedback (yes, the and is clever and intentional). This tries to broaden the discussion around RLHF to include more stakeholders and diverse ideas about how to integrate or measure values (can you at all?!?). I'm trying to re-record every talk that I give that isn't to a public audience 🫡😅, good practice at least. Slides: Youtube: Paper:

NPR President and CEO Katherine Maher told CBS News' Nikole Killion that cuts to federal funding for public broadcasting "could fundamentally alter public radio in America,” and have devastating consequences for local communities across the country. Maher called the potential impact a “tremendous tragedy,” warning that some stations could be forced off the air, licenses could be permanently lost, and coverage areas could shrink — threatening the universal access to news, music and cultural programming that public radio provides across the country. On Thursday night, House Republicans approved a package to claw back $9 billion in foreign and public broadcasting funding, sending it President Trump's desk.

What an afternoon for #NYR Gabe Perreault. He gets his first NHL hat trick and played against his favorite player growing up for the first time in Patrick Kane: “On that first draw I was like holy shit I’m next to Patrick Kane — so, it was definitely pretty cool and when you’re looking up to a guy like that, to play him for the first time is a dream come true.”

Even though PBS and NPR are still in existence, President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he “heard they’re closed up.” During a news conference at the White House that lasted more than 90 minutes, Trump noted that, among his accomplishments during the first year of his second term in office, he signed legislation “to cut all taxpayer funding” to the two main American public media networks. The Trump administration’s move mainly affected the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the independent nonprofit organization that distributed federal funds to PBS, NPR, public media programming and more than 1,500 local stations. The corporation’s board voted earlier this year to dissolve itself after Congress voted last summer, at Trump’s request, to claw back about $1.1 billion of previously approved federal funding for public broadcasting. While the rescission of federal funding and the dissolution of the CPB resulted in layoffs, programming cancellations and operational changes at stations across the country, PBS and NPR continue to air news, arts and other programming on television, radio and online platforms.
