Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Works on some, but a lot of AI stuff uses a Speech to Text process to create the annotations themselves instead of trusting the provided subtitles.
The video mentions this as well as other practical limitations (like OOMing the youtube phone app lol).
Really there are fairly straightforward technical ways around these techniques -- out of bounds or invisible subtitles can be cropped, or individual letters can be formed into paragraphs the same way PDF readers do; but it's still funny that it works at all and involves the word ass.
It comes on the coattails of a long history of AI companies not caring at all about security, privacy, data integrity, or being nice people.
We can insert quick speech fragments into the video, just like at the end of a radio commercial.
