Weekly #4 - Xmas in Florida
Projects
Been tinkering on building a tool that transcribes podcasts to make them more skimmable. I’m using OpenAI’s Whisper to do the transcriptions and working with a freelancer to clean it up.
I posted a couple of the final results to Reddit got a lot of positive results. Take this post:
6.3k views
9 comments
3 really positive comments
But then this happened:
The moderators of the Lex Fridman Podcast removed my post.
I’m not sure what the next move is. I could continue posting these and hope they start to pick up organically. Or try working w/ the moderators or pivot and work on something else. To be continued :)
