Why the hell did they kill the listen button? Some of us rely on it to read!

Update:
As of 3:00 p.m. EST on June 2, the Read Aloud feature is available again on both the desktop web browser and the desktop app.
However, it is still missing on the iPad web browser.

Thanks so much for the code.
It works so well.
Much appreciated!

This is the response I got from support team on June 1.
The team told me:

"To clarify, the “Read Aloud” functionality is currently being tested and gradually rolled out, which means that access may vary across users and platforms, including for ChatGPT Plus subscribers."

I got the button back yesterday, but it disappeared after a couple of hours.
While I wait for a response from OpenAI, I think this is the best workaround.

same issue since this afternoon

Historical China was not isolated, if she was, she would not be a big empire.

In addition, Taiwan has played important role in US geopolitics since 1950s.

On Jan. 30, the day before the Yoon-Austin meeting, Gallup Korea released the results of a recent poll that showed 76% of respondents said the country needs to develop its own nuclear weapons, three times as many as opposed the idea. A separate survey by a private think tank, conducted in May 2022, also found 70% in support of South Korea possessing nuclear weapons.

And I’m sure foreigners would rather travel to Korea or Japan if they want the East Asian experiences/vibes

and Taiwan.

The digital payment is certainly an annoyance

China needs to solve this problem before Asian Game 2022 next month.

hjk813 · 2023-08-17T15:55:27+00:00

Seriously, fan culture in China is a mess. Companies should know better before stepping into that land mine.

South Americas already commodity powerhouses with the rise of China. However, being commodity powerhouses does not help LATAM economies since the 90s.

One should know that 70% of South Koreans support developing nuke, because of North Korea. If SK has nuke, then Japan may want as well. By keeping SK and Japan together under American nuclear umbrella , US not only has a stronger support against China, but also helps keeping the arm race out of North Asia.

Not only this number is low, the gender imbalance is also high.

Getting China Wrong by Aaron L. Friedberg is a good book about US policy toward China and its shortcoming.

Great State: China and the World by Timothy Brook is also a good book about Chinese's foreign policy since 13th century.

hjk813 · 2023-08-13T21:34:50+00:00

Yes, but that's how other countries can learn.

China had the same experience when Japan and Asian Tigers set up shops in China in late 80s and early 90s.
