I wrote a thing a decade or more ago I can't find now, about the early history of Vox's "explainers". They were literally wanting to replace Wikipedia as a go-to.

    I'm using Zencastr cos the free tier is the right price and I've found my way to evade most of the AI crap thankfully. "New recording" 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.

    About us

    We are a new AI advocacy organization launching publicly in late summer 2026. Our goal is to amplify everyday voices and build a broad-based movement capable of winning federal AI policy. We want policies that create an economy that works for everyone, not just Big AI; that defend our essential freedoms; and that prevent the development of AI systems that pose existential risks to humans and the planet.

    For years the response to AI risk has been white papers and closed-door meetings

    yep, it's our very good friends
