Video: April's Backyard Wildlife [burnsteem100]
This is crazy. NotebookLM made this video based on my blogpost from yesterday, Photography meets citizen science: April's wildlife in south-eastern Pennsylvania.

I think this is a very good idea. We can have our human created content and then we can use automation to create a different format of the same content. This could reach different audience.
Right. I think we definitely need to get past the black & white stage of "no AIs allowed". There are so many in-between areas or areas where AI could augment the human experience.
Another example... I was thinking today, what if I used my phone to take memos while I was practicing photography, then had the AI compile all my commentary for the evening into a well-organized blog post? It's still human content, even if the verbiage comes from an AI, but that would (presumably) fail an AI detector.
I keep coming back to the thought that we urgently need some community supported netiquette guidelines for the use of automation so people could experiment without fear of having their reputation destroyed by downvotes.
Those voice memos are still your direct dictation—that’s human content. It’s a world apart from the "ghost" content flooding Facebook lately, where there’s clearly zero human input and the posts are filled with misinformation. That's where it becomes unacceptable.
We really need a new set of guidelines for this. Thoth is doing well for a start.
Wild, right?!
Something like this might be an excellent automation.
Yeah, it could definitely be helpful if used thoughtfully. No idea how to automate the different pieces, though. It could even be something that people do manually, with their own articles or articles that interest them.
Reply to a post, "I enjoyed your article, here's a notebookLM summary", share some rewards with the original author and maybe burn some.
I like the idea, but I'm not sure what the community response would be. I had the same situation with Thoth when I was launching it, but so far that has turned out ok.
OTOH, Years ago, someone set up an automaton that commented on posts with a TTS version of the article for the visually impaired.
I actually thought it was a good idea, but the "enforcers" at the time killed it with downvotes. Not sure if that concept would generate the same response now, or not, but the potential remains.
That's why I set this post to 100% burned rewards. It introduces the concept without the "taint" of profit motives, and people can start thinking about how to do it within bounds of community tolerance.
Huh. Automated TTS seems like a great idea.
The entire incentive structure needs a major overhaul if people want to see this community grow, TBH.
I don't think they objected to the idea, but they objected to the fact that it was "low effort", and they made the argument that it should be a front-end feature, not a blockchain comment. Unfortunately, it never was a front-end feature, so now we're left with nothing...
There's an "anti automation" bias for blockchain content that was really intense back then, and still persists now to a lesser degree. (I assume it's still as strong as ever on Hive, but I don't know.)
Sort-of. I actually think the blockchain's incentive structure is mostly fine. Between beneficiary rewards and burning tokens, the incentive structure is decentralized and (probably) fully programmable. It's just that the major stakeholders don't seem to be interested in really learning how to influence incentives beyond just voting on a post. They're still caught in a web2 mindset.
Yeah, I remember the sentiment from comments and posts I read at the time.
I suppose I don't mean "the structure" needs an overhaul; technically, it might be fine, but these things need to be socialized and UI/UX need to influence and enable behavior and understanding.
I suppose that's a different layer, but the way I think of it, the "structure" of the system includes whatever pieces are necessary to enable graduation from an unsophisticated mental model to something that enables—and rewards—imagination.
