Beware the audiobook narrator unable to convey bitterness or sarcasm. They may just be an Artificial Intelligence storyteller. Publishers are increasingly looking to deploy AI-enabled auto-narration of audiobooks and dispensing with the need for expensive, celebrity narrators. The rapid expansion of the audiobook market in recent years has resulted in technology start-up companies offering automated narration services which they promise will cut costs and sound authentic. DeepZen for example, a British company, offers authors and publishers the opportunity to have their books read by a voice "licensed and cloned" from a human narrator -- with a 50,000-word book costing about £600.

Goal setting seems like a no brainer to achieve any Great Goal! Yet it is seldom effectively practiced. The Key is not about learning complex concepts but rather developing DEEP understanding about simple yet effective methods. What better way to learn this other than through a story? In this 6 Episode series, let us learn various aspects of Goal setting in an extremely effective manner by walking along with Billy as he learns powerful techniques that truly revolutionize his life.

'Tucker Carlson Tonight' host makes the case for why Kyle Rittenhouse is not receiving a fair trial The judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial has just sent the jurors home for the night to think about the trial for yet another day. So far, deliberations, in this case, have lasted about 20 hours. In a normal proceeding, we'd have the jury's decision in about 20 minutes. The essential question, in this case, is really clear did Kyle Rittenhouse have good reason to believe dangerous men were trying to murder him? And the answer is also clear and unequivocal?

On a May evening in 1959, C.P. Snow, a popular novelist and former research scientist, gave a lecture before a gathering of dons and students at the University of Cambridge, his alma mater. He called his talk "The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution." Snow declared that a gulf of mutual incomprehension divided literary intellectuals and scientists. "The non-scientists have a rooted impression that the scientists are shallowly optimistic, unaware of man's condition," Snow said. "On the other hand, the scientists believe that the literary intellectuals are totally lacking in foresight, peculiarly unconcerned with their brother men, in a deep sense anti-intellectual, anxious to restrict both art and thought to the existential moment." Snow didn't expect much of his talk.
