AI Thread Summary
For recording streaming lectures on a Mac, users recommend OBS Studio as a reliable screen recorder. It is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux, offering customizable settings for noise reduction, input device selection, and output quality. While it can produce near-HD video quality, users should be aware that file sizes can be large, approximately 10 GB for a one-hour recording. QuickTime is noted as less effective due to its lack of features like an easy timer.

Any recommendations for a simple, reliable screen recorder for Mac. All I want to do is record some streaming lectures. I like transferring to my phone to watch again. QuickTime isn’t great. No easy timer.

I use OBS studio. It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. There are settings that will allow you to reduce noise from your microphones, choose the input device, output quality, and so on. When I used to record online lectures, my settings produced near-HD videos, but file size was about ~10 GB for 1-hour videos.

Interesting article about an AI writing scandal at Sports Illustrated: https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/29/opinions/sports-illustrated-ai-controversy-leitch/index.html I hadn't heard about it in real-time, which is probably indicative about how far SI has fallen*. In short, the article discusses how SI was caught using AI and worse fake reporter photos/profiles to write game summaries. Game summaries are the short articles that summarize last night's Phillies game. They are so formulaic that...
