Greetings from Read Max HQ! In today’s Read Max Experimental Audio Product, I’ll be reading from this week’s newsletter on two items:

* A critical exploration of this week’s announcements from OpenAI and Google, and why I think the new Google search stuff sucks.

* Looking at The New Yorker’s Lucy Letby story as a story about media in the U.S. and the U.K.

In addition to the embed above, the podcast can be found on Apple Podcasts here, as well as many other popular podcast platforms. It can also technically be found on Spotify but I recommend you do not find it there.

If you enjoy the Read Max Experimental Audio Product, please consider subscribing to Read Max, a broadly beloved twice-weekly newsletter guide to the future. Read Max’s independent reporting and criticism is funded almost entirely by paying subscribers, whose generosity is matched only by their mental illness.
