Daily Inspiration: "The soul of this new machine is moving faster than your imagination!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Back when I began my computer voyage, I read the book "Soul of a New Machine," described by ChatGPT this way. The book is celebrated for making the complex and often insular world of computer engineering in the 80s accessible and compelling - and it was a great book for a young computer nerd who was busy immersing himself in everything involving the ongoing computer revolution.
Fast forward to today - there's a new soul in a new machine being built around AI, and one of the hardest tasks is keeping up to date with all the fast-moving and rapidly emerging new developments. There are thousands of people throwing their energies at creating new tools, ideas, capabilities, and opportunities, and the rest of us can barely keep up.
Which brings me to Google's NotebookLM AI podcast generation tool, which was just announced. Feed it a document, press a button, and you've got a ten-minute 'podcast' with two AI-generated voices talking to each other. I fed it a set of all my Daily Inspiration posts, specifically those written since January 2023. That numbers more than 500 of these posts, with a lot of content covering a variety of topics.
And in an instant, after pressing the generate button, it created a full 10-minute-long podcast discussing my work and the content. I generated an image for the recording and loaded it into YouTube.

Listen to the tone, intonation, and vocal style of the two 'hosts,' all of which are entirely AI-generated., The mind boggles at the sophistication of such a tool and the ease with which it can be used.
Even so, like most people, I have mixed feelings about this tool. A
