I had a faculty request for a way to generate target-language audio from a provided script. In this case the language was Russian. I tried it Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude as a normal prompt but all of them failed pretty badly. Listen to Claude’s attempt here. ChatGPT gave up on it. Gemini got completely confused [...]Read More... from Script to Target-Language Audio in Google AI Studio| Bionic Teaching
Google put out several OpenStax textbooks in NotebookLM format. One of our faculty was interested in how that’d work in physics but that was not one of the options currently available. Looking at what was happening, it just looked like they chopped up the PDF into chapters and pre-generated some of the NotebookLM studio options.

After shooting mainly soccer for a chunk of time, I’ve had the chance to shoot two of James’s football games. I’m trying to get shots of most of the people and I’m mixing action shots with some shots that are closer to portraiture. Shooting for coverage really slows down editing as I keep far more than I would otherwise and then I have to clean them up. I’ve been averaging 5k shots and keeping around 500.

As some of those services turn to automation in order to handle the workload, completely unrelated content is getting flagged as violating their copyrights and is being deindexed from Google search. The process exposes bigger problems with how copyright violations are handled on ...| Bionic Teaching

Since I’ve been using the OpenAI API previously and had a decent amount of success with text extraction, I went ahead and tried that. | Bionic Teaching
