Using Notebook LLM to understand a research paper

I came across a research paper called Canaries in the Coal Mine? Six Facts about the Recent Employment Effects of Artificial Intelligence.

To make the research paper a bit more digestible, I turned to one of my favourite tools, Google's Notebook LLM. It created me a mindmap, a podcast (you can hear the first minute above) and a video overview (a male voice talking over slides).

I can't rate this tool enough for learning / exploring a topic. See Tiago Forte's video for more info.

Incidentally, I used Claude to tell me how to use ffmpeg to cut the file to 1 minute long and fade out at the end. Then I needed to store the audio file somewhere and I chose Git LFS. I asked Claude Code to help and it:

• updated the template with an HTML5 audio player with native browser controls
• created a directory to store the audio files within my site's folder structure
• added an entry to .gitattributes to ensure .m4a files were tracked by Git LFS integration for efficient storage
• Updated DecapCMS configuration so I could reference audio files from DecapCMS
