Now you can read what @dwr.eth is posting, while listening to your daily tech briefing. Launch GitInformed, go to briefing, scroll down and play the briefing. Minimize the mini app and continue using your FC client.

I’m experimenting with various TTS models. Google Cloud Platform’s TTS chirp HD is free for the first million tokens, but the quality is poor, even with a very optimized text. On the other hand, GPT-4o-mini-tts produces exceptional results. It delivers consistent output for the same text. I’m curious about the absence of an official Gemini TTS. Google Cloud Platform’s chirp HD is a couple of years old. While ElevenLabs undoubtedly offers the best TTS, I’m hesitant to subscribe to another service for this specific use case. If you use a TTS model, what are you using currently? Looking for the cheapest option that gives a decent output.

gitinformed.com is now a MiniApp. - RSS aggregator of tech news - AI summaries - 'live' newsletter briefing - push notifications when >= 3 sources report on same news. Add frame to enable in-app notifications. Feedback and comments welcome.

GPT tasks saves so much time in generating custom curated newsletters - I barely open any news app anymore. I have one set up for AI news, Premier League news, Formula 1 news and one for Tech Stocks. Hoping to incorporate some of this workflow in my side project GitInformed. Soon to be released as a mini-app.

Launching GitInformed https://www.gitinformed.com/ - aggregates RSS feeds of Verge, TC, CNET, Gizmodo, Engadget - replaces default RSS summary with an AI-generated one - 'live' newsletter/briefing page that gets updated throughout the day - articles can be shared as images with a single click - notifications panel when > 3 publishers post about the same topic. Currently, it only displays articles from the last 4 to 5 days. I am working on building a mini-app version of this. My goal was to consolidate all my tech news readings into one place. I already use GPT Tasks for it, but I thought I could build a better version. If you have any feedback, or comments, please feel free to DC or respond here.

For most of my side projects, I have completely shifted to Gemini 2.5 pro on Cursor. I switched to it about a week ago, and I haven't shifted back to 3.5/3.7 sonnet or 4o yet. Very pleased with the results.

Book Cricket is a game we used to play in the middle school; it's a lot of fun, and I always wanted to create a web app around it. What better way to build it than as a FC frame? [Am still tweaking the leaderboard data handling] Play: https://book-cricket-sepia.vercel.app/

Built a simple MCP server for FC that can do the following: - show casts for a given FID - show casts for a given user-name - show casts from a given channel Link to try/install: https://smithery.ai/server/@manimohans/farcaster-mcp/tools Below is a screenshot from Claude Desktop. /farcaster

Just built my first MCP: tool to retrieve news from The Verge. You can try it with Claude or Cursor now (or other MCP compatible application). https://smithery.ai/server/@manimohans/verge-news-mcp

The "cost of intelligence" is going down, and more jobs are becoming automatable. What does this mean for compensation across job categories? As AI models excel in Humanity's Last Exam (HLE), how will this impact err.. the H - humanity? How can we prepare for this shift?

A little weekend project: Everyday, I spend time on /ai /aichannel and /open-source-ai to get my AI updates. I wrote up a readonly web app that pulls casts from those channels and puts them together (~ past 4 days content). Still need to iron out many bugs, but here is v1: https://channelcaster.vercel.app/

No mention of blockchain or crypto, as expected. #debate2024

Cursor + Claude 3.5 sonnet seems to be so good. Fully transitioned to Claude at this point, for most LLM usage.
