So last night I finished editing the latest odium symposium episode ("ezra klein is a disgusting worm," https://www.patreon.com/OdiumSymposium/posts/1-ezra-klein-is-166891080 ), and i went to upload it to our rss host, zencastr. friends. zencastr is so fucked now. the only interface, as far as i can tell, is an llm, and it tormented me. im just gonna dump the screenshots. this is a fragment of an exhausting hour of back and forth.
note that i apparently have 10k credits, which i assume are temporary and there as a welcome to the new service. a single credit is a few bucks and in total the bill just for the conversation came out to about 6-7 dollars
it also tried to get me to use this absolutely horrible episode description
i asked it to schedule the episode for 9 am Tuesday, aug 18th, same as the patreon, and it said it did. turns out it went out this morning. cool! if you listen by rss it's out now i guess.
i posted on reddit asking how to switch hosts. the ceo found that post today and offered his hand, which i bit
i keep thinking about that bit in a philip k dick novel where the protagonist's door tries to chisel tips out of him before opening, and threatens to sue him when he bypasses the lock. i hate the future/present so much

i don't think she should be allowed to say "the ghetto." doesn't matter whether it's problematic when someone else says it, she definitely doesn't get to
new odium symposium episode (at the link and on all platforms). we talk to professor of africana studies danielle procope bell about her recent paper "'Pick-Me' Black women: tactical patriarchal femininity in the Black manosphere."
so we now have an invitation to do an episode of posting through it, which is a (really really good) podcast on the far right. we pick a topic, no other specifics. i am thinking this can be something to do with rationalists and the far right, probably something race sciencey.
SSC leaps to mind but im not sure that's where ill want to start for an audience that doesn't necessarily know anything about rats. any thoughts?
When I was about 12, I got into a discussion about the environment with another kid at school. She told me that it didn’t matter if we ruined the environment of the countries we all live in now, because we could all just move to the Arctic or Antarctica.
this is the level the median hackernews poster thinks on
adrian still hasn't responded
