😲 OMG, Audio Overview feature on NotebookLM is wild! It basically creates a podcast with two AI generated voices based on the source documents you upload. Definitely try if you haven't yet. #LLM #ML #AI blog.google/technology/ai/note…

@vick21 It would be great if they provide a transcript for users to edit and regenerate. Especially when you want to generate something for class materials, and if it outputs some misleading statements, you should be able to edit them to clarify or correct.
in reply to Chi Kim

BTW, I can’t quite figure out how to get rid of the old podcast and create a new one. Did you?
in reply to victor tsaran

@vick21 Yes, there's a button that brings menu for download, delete, playback speed etc. If you just delete the podcast, and you have an option to regenerate.
in reply to Chi Kim

But the button is not labeled, right?

@vick21 There's audio timeline slider, vo+left gets you to play/pause, then vo+left lands on the thing that says menu popup collapsed. If you open that menu, you can delete, download, etc. If you can't find the audio, there is open chat feed button, and it'll open a drop down for like create, faq, study guide, etc. You should be able to find audio overview.

We also still need 4 more countries to reach their national threshold of supporters:

As I see the devastation caused by hurricane Helene I can't help but remember that no country on earth is doing more to intentionally slow progress on the shift to renewables than the United States.🤡

Intentionally. Slow.

Because to us, the problem is that the solar cells are being made by Chinese billionaires instead of by American billionaires, and the EVs are being sold by Chinese billionaires instead of American billionaires. If we can't win, your planet can burn.

We are good people.

Shout out to everyone that's going to read what I said, and interpret it as that I don't love my country enough. 🙂🙃

They will literally interpret my not wanting Cat 4 and Cat 5 hurricanes to hit the Southeast every year for the next 50 years, as the "anti-American" take, and interpret my wanting US to do common sense things to keep warming under 3 degrees as "unpatriotic."

My life does not improve if we "protect" the US EV market for Cybertrucks that no one wants. At all.

in reply to mekka okereke

Shout out to the drama queens that want to pretend that it would be hard to accelerate the shift to solar. It wouldn't be. We're literally putting the breaks on it because it's happening "too fast." We're cutting subsidies because they're working too well. 🙂🙃

What are we doing? True clown behavior. 🤡

Ask people being rescued from Helene if the switch to solar is happening too fast.

"American ingenuity" spent most of the past 10 years investing in monkey jpegs (NFTs) and giant EVs that no one can afford. China invested in, solar cells, battery tech, trains and buses, and affordable EV cars.

I don't know how to tell you this, but our US national capital allocation strategy of "Give most of our innovation budget to anti-democratic, racist, sexist, alt-right guys" doesn't seem to be working out for us. 🤷🏿‍♂️

We pair that with our "throw cans of soup" activism. Silly.

No it's not.

👴🏻"It's important for US industry to thrive. You can't ignore that."

This one cracks me up. US companies are about to get absolutely cooked in giant industries that matter: Car sales, power generation, battery tech. The green path makes *more* than the "Protect NFT billionaires that hate US democracy anyway" path. QED.

What are we doing?

👴🏻"People in the path of the hurricane are suffering. Now is not the time to talk about climate change policy..."

Yes it is. Don't "thoughts and prayers" me on climate change.

And besides, I already prayed to my god about it, and he said, "I'm not going to save you. Here's my best offer: I can bless the human race with common sense, a continent full of natural resources (Africa), and like 1 or 2 billion people who can make cheap solar cells and wind turbines for you (🇨🇳 + 🇮🇳). Save yourselves."

in reply to mekka okereke

"People in the path of the hurricane are suffering. Now is not the time to talk about climate change policy..."

Yes it is… you can either rebuild the same and entrench the problem for more decades, or you can forgo rebuilding and build something new, something different, something more resilient, sustainable, efficient. The hurricane has torn down a lot: for God’s sake don’t build it up the same again!

in reply to mekka okereke

The US subsidized the hell out of corn, enabling "innovations in corn growing technology" (real term, not kidding), and then we were like 👴🏻🇺🇸"Oh no, we have too much corn! So. Much. Corn!"

So we started pumping out corn syrup, so we could drink corn, and we convinced cows to eat corn, and we shove corn everywhere we can, and export it, making corn cheap around the world...

So we do understand the concept of cheap solar.

The difference is that the world needs cheap, clean energy, not diabetes.🤷🏿‍♂️

in reply to mekka okereke

I also would like to add, having worked with the utility industry for the past year:

It’s not enough to keep making solar cells and EVs, we need a grid that can handle the new load characteristics (Distributed vs. centralized generation, larger demands at home for charging as well as electric appliances). Right now we don’t have that, and building new transmission has long lead times.

Not an excuse, because there are none, just another thing we need to get going on!

in reply to Philip Mallegol-Hansen

@philip
We desperately need these transmission lines, but landowners have rights too.If we could get some breakthrough in the cost to do underground transmission maybe that's the solution.
in reply to Sam

@friz Yeah I don’t have the answers either, just wanted to bring it up as a point that’s often not talked about. To Mekka’s example about California solar: One of the problems is, on a sunny CA day, we’re already maxing out what the North-South transmission up to OR and WA can carry. Which effectively means more solar in CA is at this point a “waste”. There’s more generating potential, but it can’t be brought to the customers who could benefit due to transmission constraints.
@Sam
in reply to Philip Mallegol-Hansen

@friz If more transmission was possible, a sunny day in CA could mean we turn off the gas plants up north. Good for the environment, good for the rate payer because solar is cheaper, but we just can’t import enough of it. It’s a real shame.
@Sam
in reply to Philip Mallegol-Hansen

@philip @friz

All facts! But what's an easier engineering, political, financial, and social problem:

A) Increasing transmission capacity, and generating even more power closer to the source where it's needed (eg, more solar and wind in Oregon and Washington).

Or

B) Dealing with the increased severe weather and flooding, heat related excess mortality, forest fires, abandonment by the insurance industry, change in insect patterns (hello big borne diseases), loss of habitat, etc.

I think A)

in reply to mekka okereke

@friz Oh absolutely. A is hard, but B is existential.

They’re not the same ball game, and we need to open our eyes to that fact.

We built society, we made the laws, we control the incentives of our economy.

Nature? Nature doesn’t give a fuck, it will end us if we screw it up.

@Sam
in reply to Philip Mallegol-Hansen

@philip @friz True. "Save the planet", is a bit silly, as "the planet" will be fine as soon as we're all gone, no? More attention about "save the people ON the planet", I think.
in reply to mekka okereke

if you can't criticise your country and don't want the lives of people to improve, you don't love your country you just love the status quo and the people in power.
