AIn the future, will everyone make their own bespoke entertainment? A Case Study
I have set up a philosophy podcast! It was far easier than I thought it would be. Each episode is a chat about an article from the SEP — The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Hence the title, ChatSEP. I believe that this will be the primary podcast that I listen to for the next year. It really makes concrete the possible future where everyone makes their own bespoke entertainment.
Here is a link: https://open.spotify.com/show/2pUm5OK4sG8RzDDcXUhOvQ?si=979e18a49090472d
And to the SEP article: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/descartes/
I am releasing 7 ten-minute episodes per day and will thereby cover all of the 1803 SEP articles in about 9 months. So far the episodes are about philosophy of religion, medieval philosophy, and most recently a series on Descartes. Later episodes will be about philosophy of science, logic, aethetics, ethics, Kant, Plato... literally every topic in philosophy. Here is a random SEP article. https://plato.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/encyclopedia/random
I have already generated all of the content (350 hours, 60Gb) using Google’s NotebookLM https://notebooklm.google.com/. fter automating the procedure it took only 2 minutes to generate each episode, so 60 hours total. It then also takes about 2 minutes to schedule each episode to appear on Spotify. (I am doing this manually atm). Of course, I shouldn't take any intellectual or artistic credit for these things myself. The human effort that went into this project is as follows:
1. scraping links to all the SEP articles,
2. writing up a paste-in source to give it authorship information (this doesn't appear on the SEP article itself).
3. scraping which article reference each other,
4. coding up a nice walk through this graph (i.e., the episode order),
5. automating the content generation,
6. manually scheduling the episodes.
I find two things crazy. Firstly, the quality of these episodes. Secondly, how one man in the course of a week can generate a years worth of podcast content. As I noted above, I believe that this will be the primary podcast that I listen to for the next year. It really makes concrete the possible future where everyone makes their own bespoke entertainment. And right now is the worst that this tech will ever be. Crazy!
