Using https://hotaudiofiction.social/u/@effinbirds@mastodon.social (when logged into said instance) throws a 404 for me.

HOWEVER… using https://kbin.social/u/@effinbirds@mastodon.social when I’m logged into that instance does not.

Which is good news. I mean, bad news that we have a misconfig or something not setup correctly (yet), but good that it works! Off to figure out why not. And, hopefully, figure out what sort of timeline we have here on /kbin!

Very happy to help. T4 certainly has it’s rabid fans!

@indigojasper Happy to help!

A little birdie told me that the GFL might have its own dedicated feed with all the stories starting with this year’s NFL season. 😄

I do, indeed. Scott is good people, with a huge repository of fiction podcasts from all the way back in 2005. https://scottsigler.com is a good spot to start, or just search his name in any podcast app for lots of story to choose from!

@Fringetheory999 To be honest, I’m torn on using LLM-powered (I refuse to use the moniker “AI,” for it is neither) for fiction creation. I absolutely see the benefits to a creator who, for whatever reason, is incapable of doing the narration (as an example.) I don’t have an issue with LLM helping someone get unstuck at some point during the creative process.

But experience has made me leery. And there are some questionable ethics around how these models have been trained. And then there’s the whole “won’t someone think of the creatives” replacement stuff that makes me worry.

Now, having said all of that, I’m very open to my opinions being swayed over time, so don’t let my curmudgeonliness stop you from experimenting! 😅

Hooray!
