Why was the title of my post changed? It's not an entirely big deal and the new title is fine, but it's somewhat annoying that this was done for me without any indication on my end.

I don't know what title you gave it, but perhaps the HN guidelines can answer your question

"…please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize…"

This was the title I posted with: "Interview with Jeff Dean on Google AI - GCP Podcast Episode 146"

The Episode 146 portion is irrelevant I guess.

For the reason kilovoltaire gave: the site guidelines ask you to use the original title. It's standard moderation here to change those back when people don't do that.

Also, I really appreciate properly tagged posts on HN. In this case I think the [Audio] was an important part too. While doing that, the mod probably took the time to clean up the rest too.
