What I've been dreaming of is a "podcast" generated for a day of HN, but focusing on the comments and conversations.

I come here for the convos. But I also commute in a car, and I exercise with headphones.

I want like a radio show made of segments. Each segment is a post with the best conversations between users. Use a generative Ai voice service (like Coqui), and have it speak the comments aloud.

Then I can listen to interesting chatter through my headphones.

If you could find a way to summarize the comments too, that would be a huge win IMO. Either way, very cool.

There is a lot of competing sentiments in comments. Unlikely to work as a summary

Why wouldn't it just describe the competition of sentiment if there was one?

Edit:

> Zetice starts off by suggesting the value of being able to summarize comments, positing it as a significant improvement to an unspecified system or feature. They further posit that such a summary could encapsulate the variety and contention of sentiments found within a thread.

> In response, hackernewds expresses skepticism about the feasibility of such a task. They argue that the diversity and conflict of opinions often found in comments would make it difficult to produce an effective summary.

> Zetice counters this viewpoint by asking why a summary couldn't reflect the existence of this diversity or conflict of sentiment if that is a prevailing characteristic of the comments in question.

Seems fine to me, in principle. Would be nice to abbreviate further but that's just prompt engineering.

You have to add articles yourself and it does not have any special logic for HN threads yet.
