This is great feedback, thanks! Maybe I should open-source the code. Actually, fuck it: https://gitlab.com/stavros/deep-dreams I'll implement your suggestions (or as many as I can), thanks!

No problem! Also if you're into the music production end of it, check out adaptiverb. I use it extensively when I make ambient stuff and it is unparalleled for quality.

Oh huh, that looks very interesting, thanks! I imagine it's a VST plugin, I'll have to check it out next time I'm near a DAW.

It is now! https://gitlab.com/stavros/deep-dreams

Pedantically, it is "source available": https://gitlab.com/stavros/deep-dreams/-/blob/master/LICENSE But I still appreciate you posting it, because it's fascinating to see how such a thing was done!

It's now AGPL 3, you PEDANT

The main problem is giving out the anchor.fm domain for your RSS feed, as it marries you to Anchor forever. In theory, you can get anchor to 301 redirect your subscribers somewhere else, but I've found that podcast clients tend to keep the old URL. You can use Anchor to generate your RSS feed and host your content while still sharing the RSS URL on a domain you own. So you'd give out a URL like feeds.deepdreams.com/r…

I ended up setting GitLab pages to just curl the XML feed every time I publish, so now it's at https://deepdreams.stavros.io/feed.xml . Thanks for the help!

Nice! Glad it was helpful.

It's one of those things that's hard to do after you've got a bunch of subscribers, so I'm always glad if I can warn people early in their podcast against getting stuck with their host.

These fairy tales are quite hypnotic for me due to weirdness of AI generated grammar and plot. They reminded me of a beautiful fairy tale Richard Bandler wrote. It is a fable written intentionally using hypnotic language techniques (part of Neuro Linguistic Programming set of patterns) and a nice read. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/364664.The_Adventures_of...

I think several people have commented on how GPT produces narratives with a dream-like quality, locally sensical but less and less so the more you zoom out. I've since found that catching myself thinking nonsensical thoughts is a sure sign I'll soon be asleep. Seems like without high level attention, we do almost exactly what GPT does.

Interesting concept. Two suggestions: 1- Don't host on anchor. Podcasting is an open standard. Don't let companies (like Spotify or Apple) take it over. Check https://podcastindex.org/ 2- The voice is too mechanical for this to be actually reasonable to listen to at night, potentially could be listenable with AWS Polly Neural voices, it's pretty good.

I actually think the voice is pretty good for sleeping, feels very droney. but the nonsensicalness of the stories made it harder to sleep because my brain was trying to figure out what was going on

Oh definitely agreed, I aim to always own my stuff, but this was so quick and dirty that I figured it doesn't matter enough. Still, since it was this easy to do, better safe than sorry!

Hey, would you by any change be able to generate another background track for me? The one I have is 10' long so it won't be enough if the story is longer, and I don't know how to make these.

The link should be okay, I don't have another website, just the feed is hosted elsewhere (and it's linked in the target page).
