Ep. 461: Google's NotebookLM and AI Podcasts - Plus more tech news, tips, and picks!
Google's NotebookLM is an AI note-taking service that can take information and summarize it for you in a variety of ways. One of those ways is a podcast summary, where an AI male and female host will have a discussion about the information. We tried it on our last episode, are we out of a job? You be the judge. We've got plenty of other tech news to talk about like Starlink and SpaceX continuing to come through for those stranded on Earth and in space. Finish out the episode with a fun bonus odd take and our picks of the week.
