I appreciated the chance to talk with Kathryn Jezer-Morton for this article. It's unfortunate that we have to deal with Big Tech's messes everywhere, including in our own families, but given that, I'm glad for a chance to help people think this through.

That said, I wanted to provide a couple of corrections. When I problematize the term "AI", the goal is to get people to stop using it. "Many tools that use AI" doesn't mean anything. "Many tools that are sold as 'AI'" is okay. But more importantly: those study-aid podcasts systems are TRASH and nothing like automatic transcription tools.

>>

in reply to Prof. Emily M. Bender(she/her)

Automatic transcription takes an audio signal and produces text. It's reasonably clear how to evaluate how well those systems work, both systematically (should we use this system for our purposes?) and in a particular use (is that really what was in the audio?).

>>

in reply to Prof. Emily M. Bender(she/her)

The same is absolutely not true for Google's NotebookLM which takes in academic articles and outputs something that sounds like a podcast. It is much harder to evaluate that in general, and especially difficult in the particular case. Having listened to a fake podcast about a paper will undoubtedly shape how you perceive the paper, if you even take the time to go read the paper itself.

in reply to Prof. Emily M. Bender(she/her)

I generally avoid consuming synthetic media if at all possible, but did have to sit through a couple of those LLM-"podcasts" in the context of media interviews about them. They're horrid.

I can't hear 'let's take a deepdive into...' after checking out NotebookLLM a couple of times.

On 31st July Israeli Forces Demolished one of Palestine's main seed production sites - vital for farmers there.

The unit, which covered 10,000 m² (including 4,000 m² of active cultivation), was planted with 15 key traditional summer crops such as tomato, zucchini, faqous, okra, & sunflower. It was intended to supply the Local Seed Bank in preparation for the upcoming agricultural season.

The Local Seed Bank is twinned with Exeter Seed Bank in the UK. They have set up a fundraiser in response.

considerando che loro so la democrazia, le vittime, quello buoni la parte giusta neppure mi pongo il problema di ascoltare gli estremisti di parte avversa. ma gli Israeliani hanno un'anima? hanno un'umanità? di quanto sangue innocente si devono coprire prima di capire che forse i cattivi sono loro?

A flotilla of ships departed from Barcelona to the Gaza Strip Sunday with humanitarian aid and activists on board in the largest attempt yet to break the long Israeli blockade of the Palestinian territory by sea.

This comes as Israel has stepped up its offensive on Gaza City, limiting the deliveries of food and basic supplies in the north of the Palestinian territory.

U.S. producers of corn and soybeans have sent dire warnings as prices for their crops have crashed in recent years as Trump’s trade war whipsaws farmers.

Corn prices have plunged more than 50% from their 2022 peak, while production costs are down just 3% in that span, translating to a loss of 85 cents per bushel, the NCGA said, adding that the outlook for next year is worse with even lower prices and higher costs.

Corn growers are mostly giant corporations and the US grows way too much corn, in astonishingly large monocropped plains. Having a massive surplus of corn means they put it in everything, including petrol, trying to find uses for all of it. Its GMO. Its killing pollinators and butterflies.

Obviously I don't want small hold or organic farms to suffer, but if Trump reduces the acreage of corn and soy, he will help the environment by accident.

in reply to celesteh

@celesteh all true, but the most likely outcome is that it'll be the small independent farmers that go under, and big corps will scoop up their assets further increasing capital concentration at the top.

Also, even if the whole corn industry does need to go away, this isn't going to be a controlled unwinding of it and will lead to a huge economic shock in the US.

Luxury. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.
