Great to see this: Fellow tech-geeks, ignore the NotebookLM thing at your peril. NotebookLM, far and away, has been the "AI Killer App" for the VAST MAJORITY of bright-but-not-particularly-techy people I know. My 70ish parents and my 8 year old kid are both just blown away by this thing and can't stop playing with it. Edit: As someone pointed out below, I absolutely mean just the "podcast" thing.

I don't get it. Are you saying "bright but not particularly techy" people can't read? What would I be missing out on by ignoring this just like I do every other podcast? I've literally never heard of someone learning anything from a podcast except scattered knowledge from another field that will never be useful.

Oh, probably nothing.

Again, I'm absolutely like you and I'm with you. I don't much do podcasts either, but in a way this is why I worded it like this. It struck me as a fun party trick to ignore, but it really seems to GRAB a lot of other people.

As someone who doesn’t listen to podcasts what perils will I suffer from not making podcasts in notebookLM?

Yeah, I deliberately worded it that way because I would have said the same as you.

I don't really see MYSELF being into it, but it just seems to WOW the hell out of a lot of people.

you might just know very old non-tech people. but the non-tech people that will generally be the larger tech people of the future are gen z and they're definitely not on notebookLM. they are on AI character chatbots

No dispute there.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This content could easily be a blog post and worth a read. But it’s in notebook form to make it interactive. It’s a tired comment narrative about these being about open source.

It’s literally the title in the README: https://github.com/meta-llama/llama-recipes/tree/main/recipe...

(Please note that the parent poster has edited their comment. Before edit, they implied that it was the OP who included the words “open source” in the HN post title.)

> the more I am convinced that Google has trained a two-speaker “podcast discussion” model that directly generates the podcast off the back of an existing multimodal backbone. I have good and bad news for you - they did not! We were the first podcast to interview the audio engineer who led the audio model: https://www.latent.space/p/notebooklm TLDR they did confirm that the transcript and the audio are generated sepa…

Every time I've listened to a NotebookLM podcast on some article or blog post, I would have much preferred a simple AI text to speech of the same article.
