Simon Willison Shares Podcast Snippet on Kākāpō Parrots

Simon Willison published a short post pointing to a snippet from a 1 hour 40 minute podcast recording with Lenny, with the highlighted clip focused on kākāpō parrots. The post itself contains no substantive technical content, serving instead as a pointer to the external audio segment.

The page also surfaces links to recent Willison articles covering DeepSeek V4’s frontier-adjacent performance at low cost, a browser-based PDF text extraction tool called LiteParse, and a pelican benchmark run against GPT-5.5 via a semi-official Codex backdoor API. Those entries are the more technically substantive items in the surrounding feed.
