"you are likely overestimating your own contributions at work"

Based on what? Your own zero-evidence speculation? How is this anything other than arrogant punting? For sure we know that the point was something other than how fast the author reads compared to an AI, so what are we left with here?

What's damning about this is that such an error was both not caught by the researchers and then not corrected after it was raised as an error. Is this the kind of conduct that should be acceptable amongst AI researchers who want to stake a claim on their work being authoritative?

Putting aside the astounding material and resource cost of this fantasy, the claim made here is an example of why people call AI proponents 'out of touch' or 'anti-human.'

Part of the reason why mass media entertainment - Squid Games, Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Minecraft Movie, etc - is so popular is because it is a shared experience that is commodified and then widely distributed. People watch things because their friends and families watch them, and the shared experience is a sort of asynchronous social experience. The same is true of games - just look at the popularity of Lets Play content on Youtube and Twitch. The same is true of music - concerts are still the primary way musicians make money.

So long as this is true, the 'dream' of hyper customised, personalised Netflix-style entertainment is an utter fantasy that denies the human need to experience, share and discuss their entertainment. I would go so far as to call it a delusional claim, and also very dystopian - to realise this goal is to atomise the social lives of billions via a complete walling off of the shared lived experience.

(Maybe this is not true with porn, given it is a commonly viewed in a, uh, solitary context; although at the same time Porntube and pre-Verizon Tumblr both show that it turns out that many people share their porn taste with others.)

Because they were violently suppressed by the interests of the capital class over multiple generations.

The guy who bought his competition and spent billions on an ugly VR rebrand? Lmfao ok.

Remember as you read more and more news like this that many of the owners of Y Combinator supported this.

Unsurprising that Matt never replied to you.

If you read all the papers then why is this not sourced?

Isn't that what is promised though? What is the benefit to automated transcription if each and every single transcription must be manually audited? Where is the cost or labor saving?

That's not a source, though.
