A year after it's last episode, we're bringing back Hacker News Recap. We launched a new feature* last week that made the automation of this very easy so we had no reason of holdin…

This is cool. I can see the anti-monopoly of OpenAI argument, but apart from that is there a strong argument of being multi-LLM for a Codex-like agent?

Thank you for this write up - very insightful.

We're laying out the infrastructure to get to a point where everyone can choose themes, topic etc and get a hyper personalised podcast delivered in their feed every day. For exampl…

Why not just use GPT-4?

Can't find a way to connect. Ping at hn@wondercraft.ai - would be keen to get your thing going.

Thank you!

You can definitely use the platform for audiobooks. It's not native to importive an epub yet, but you can use the UI or the API to audify your book.

Awesome to hear!

Podcasts and Youtube Shorts have very different view count, I'm sure you know that. In any case, it's clear that this podcast is not for you and that's ok. Appreciate you taking th…

There is no question that authors delivering the work themselves is preferable. But that option is rarely available (only 20% of NYT Best Sellers have audio books read by the autho…

Thank you for taking the time to go through this. I agree that there is room for improvement and your comment makes it clear what we can improve. But I disagree with the sentiment …

Dming you on twitter, to find “The Thing”

For substackers that don’t have a podcast, only have a written format, this tool has given them great leverage as they can easily provide more value to their audience by giving the…

11 is not our competitor, they are our partner and model provider. We’ve built all of the podcast related infrastructure (publishing, show notes, video etc) on top of their text to…

You’re not the only one

We highlight that the creativity comes from the human. The text to speech is the AI Component. There is a script assistant that can help you adjust the tone of the text, but the cr…

Thank you!

We’re adding all of the essays, should be all done by end of August.

I actually think I disagree with your last sentence. It's not that the creator can't be bothered, but that the tool unlocks features that are just not feasible for a creator. Think…

It can be any voice the user chooses, but by default it's the same voice as the original language - all voices speak all languages.

PG has not approved for this to be done with his own voice, which is why we're using a custom voice (Anna).

Sorry what is exactly your claim here? That it is legal to use and monetise off of someone else's voice? Using Morgan Freeman's or Joe Rogan's voice for example to host your podcas…
