6Ā·19 天åIām using Zencastr cos the free tier is the right price and Iāve found my way to evade most of the AI crap thankfully. āNew recordingā on the front page or in existing sessions seems to take you to the bit that actually does shit.
I just record with it, I grab the MOV and WAV files and I put it together from that and (after much faff) upload to YouTube and Libsyn. I shudder at the thought of Libsyn going AI, cos otherwise they just do a good job of hosting the mp3 files and running the RSS and I can get onto Apple without having to interact with Apple.

4Ā·20 天åyeah. The word-choice watermarking is an interesting trick for a paper, needs quite a chunk of text, will have a ghastly rate of both false positives and false negatives in real world fraud detection, and is evidently good enough for Gemini not to drink too much its own piss but not much else.
