Thank you for creating this resource. I listened to the audio version of this post and was impressed with the quality of the speech synthesis. Virtually indistinguishable from a human, and with a very pleasant voice tone.
We’re not really planning on doing any moderation. In some rare cases we might decide to remove something if we consider it a very clear info hazard.
However, even if we convert pretty much all EA content, I doubt we’d ever remove a lower bar of at least 5 upvotes, which I think would allow the community itself to moderate as opposed to leaving it in our hands at Nonlinear.

Yeah, they’ve gotten way better in the last year or so. A huge jump in quality.
I think a lot of people who were turned off by the robot-iness of TTS in the past should try again because they’ve come such a long way.
It does lose some of the prosody, compared with a human, but I agree it’s good (and improving).
Kat—are you able to explain whether you’ll moderate the content at all (and if so, how)?
