AI Fact Checker

Deep Background GPT Released – by Mike Caulfield

I just released a (largely) non-hallucinating1 rigorous AI-based fact-checker that anyone can use for free. And I don’t say that lightly: I literally co-wrote the book on using the internet to verify things. All you do is log into ChatGPT, click the link below, and put in a sentence or paragraph for it to fact check.

Radio is a Foreign Country

THE RADIO DIAL IS A COMPASS; THE ANTENNA A DIVINING ROD*
Welcome to RADIO IS A FOREIGN COUNTRY!, an endless stream of obscure (and mostly retro) global music and audio ephemera rarely heard outside their home region.

Curated by humans not algorithms, our livestream follows a unique mixtape format where just about anything can happen and features cut-ups of international radio broadcasts (am, fm & shortwave), field recordings, ethnographic film, vintage records & cassettes, and digital ephemera from the far reaches of the internet. Our mission is to explore forgotten and new ways of making radio and to facilitate greater access and exposure to sounds and music not sufficiently documented by the commercial music industry.

Wiki Radio

The thrilling sound of random Wikimedia
Inspired by WikiTok, I thought I’d make something to discover sounds uploaded to Wikimedia. From political speeches and bird noises to genuine bangers, it’s mostly wholesome, though I cant guarantee it won’t play you something horrible once in a while.
