When I click a link to LessWrong from this board, I receive a malware alert from my home gateway (Netgear Armor). Apparently it’s their AI text-to-speech bot.

Question - any concerns about this? Google isn’t helping me much.

URL is https: // embed.type3.audio/

Searching their site tells me that this is literally a feature and not a bug.

TYPE III AUDIO is running an experiment with the LessWrong team to provide automatic AI narrations on all new posts. All new LessWrong posts will be available as AI narrations (for the next few weeks).

You might have noticed the same feature recently on the EA Forum, where it is now an ongoing feature. Users there have provided excellent feedback and suggestions so far, and your feedback on this pilot will allow further improvements.

    Update - probably a false alarm:

    The type3 team has confirmed that the code they’re serving matches the code they think they should be serving, so likely a false alarm.>
