Will eagerly await this. Don’t underestimate the ease of use that the new audio/video feed creates. I’m basically preferring Substack as The Feed over anything else, including YouTube and podcasts at this point.
Genuinely love that you're doing this because I love smart people trying to do audacious things to reimagine media. But I do wonder if this will ultimately challenge the notion of prediction markets as some sort of panacea for objectivity and truth. They're one of many flawed tools for measuring sentiment, nothing more, nothing less.
My guess is prediction markets follow the Nate Silver trajectory. They have this one breakout moment where they are right on the money (and maybe a little lucky), then they call some other major event ("correctly") 70/30 and the 30% thing happens and people turn on them en masse. The next French whale is just as likely to be wrong etc. etc.
Will definitely be fun to see how that goes! It'll be "wrong" a ton -- was wrong on Hunter pardon recently -- but I do think markets are really powerful if there's enough liquidity. If the future French Whale is wrong, someone else can take advantage of that and bring the market back in line. Overall just fascinating, I hope it continues to improve.
I like this a lot for a few reasons. I'm a news junkie and a nerd so I basically just love reading and listening to The News. But I also like it because it's new and unique and experimental. Can't think of a better way to describe my feelings other than that. Very cool! Looking forward to more.
Ha, I'd been working on an extremely similar concept, but without eleven labs. Its a work in progress as well but you can access it here.

I'd love to message more about it, since we're both working on using polymarket + ai to improve the news. Was a duke pike myself as well.
Nice! Reply to the substack email and we'll chat.
Just sent! Thanks!
I tried, looks nice. However there is no unsubscribe button :)
Will this also appear natively on Substack? HUGE if so. Looking forward to adding to my morning audio newspaper.
I think we're going to keep it separate for now but might give it its own substack over time if it's working!

I love the news segment, and I'm excited to watch more! I recommend you prompt the LLM more aggressively to keep the text punchy and short.
We’re working on that!
Awesome idea; leave the daily news cycle to the AI and leave the creative long-form analysis and investigation to the human.
Excited to see where it goes.

Polymarket def has a less punchable face tho

Maybe I'm just down on betting markets because of how much "smart" money CONTINUES to be bet on the New York Jets this season.
And just generally how bad humans are at understanding what 60-80% probability actually means.
But yea, this is def something I'll flip to daily
Paradox: if it's betting on the Jets, it's not smart money.

I appreciate that Broxton!
I think this is a great example of "augmented discovery" (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/vivienneming_ai-isnt-better-than-humans-but-in-an-activity-7269733176216813568-PlHm?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop)
Wow, that is so exciting!
This is great! I love the quick implementation too.
Very dope idea - looking fwd to tuning in to my new morning paper
