A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I edited the title because people thought this was about actual podcasts. It just generates conversational audio about the content.

They make cool stuff, but they are ultimately an advertising company (as in that's their main source of revenue). So by all means enjoy the cool stuff, just proceed with caution and of course assume nothing is permanent!

I have a feeling this experiment would sooner get the axe than have ads injected. There was initially a waiting list, but just a few days in it was completely open to the public.
