> I don’t know—I didn’t watch it, lol. That was the whole point. And if that answer makes you uncomfortable, buckle-up for this future we're hurtling toward. Boy, howdy.
This is a great bit of work, and the author accurately summarizes my discomfort
In the idea of making more of an OpenAI minute, don't send it any silence.
E.g.
ffmpeg -i video-audio.m4a \
-af "silenceremove=start_periods=1:start_duration=0:start_threshold=-50dB:\
stop_periods=-1:stop_duration=0.02:stop_threshold=-50dB,\
apad=pad_dur=0.02" \
-c:a aac -b:a 128k output_minpause.m4a -y
We discovered this last month. There is also prob a way to send a smaller sampler of audio at diff speeds and compare them to get a speed optimization with no quality loss unique for each clip.
Nice. Any blog post, twitter comment or anything pointing to that?
A point on skimming vs taking the time to read something properly. I read a transcript + summary of that exact talk. I thought it was fine, but uninteresting, I moved on. Later I saw it had been put on youtube and I was on the train, so I watched the whole thing at normal speed. I had a huge number of different ideas, thoughts and decisions, sparked by watching the whole thing. This happens to me in other areas too.…
Reading is a pleasure. Watching a lecture or a talk and feeling the pieces fall into place is great. Having your brain work out the meaning of things is surely something that defines us as a species. We're willingly heading for such stupidity, I don't get it. I don't get how we can all be so blind at what this is going to create.
ffmpeg \ -f lavfi \ -i color=c=black:s=1920x1080:r=5 \ -i file_you_want_transcripted.wav \ -c:v libx264 \ -preset medium \ -tune stillimage \ -crf 28 \ -c:a aac \ -b:a 192k \ -pix_fmt yuv420p \ -shortest \ file_you_upload_to_youtube_for_free_transcripts.mp4
This works VERY well for my needs.

Seriously this is bonkers to me. I, like many hackers, hated school because they just threw one-size-fits-all knowledge at you and here we are, paying for the privilege to have that in every facet of our lives.

With transcribing a talk by Andrej, you already picked the most challenging case possible, speed-wise. His natural talking speed is already >=1.5x that of a normal human. One of the people you absolutely have to set your YouTube speed back down to 1x when listening to follow what's going on. In the idea of making more of an OpenAI minute, don't send it any silence. E.g. ffmpeg -i video-audio.m4a \ -af "silenceremove=…
I'm confused because I read in various places that the YouTube API doesn't provide access to transcripts ... so how do all these YouTube transcript extractor services do it?
I want to build my own YouTube summarizer app. Any advice and info on this topic greatly appreciated!
