Well, that’s just really shitty.

    You can always click on the transcript on YouTube if you’d prefer to read. If you then need it summarized, that’s one of the things LLMs are actually (mostly) useful for.

      You made the dreadful mistake of saying something positive about LLMs. We shall now proceed to downvote you accordingly.

      Unless the YouTuber provides the transcript themselves, they’re basically auto-generated captions that aren’t accurate. And you still gotta have YT open to read it.

      So a guy reads from an outline or script into a YouTube clip we can view (after ads) with a transcript we can then summarize with an LLM so we can replicate the outline or script originally used?

      The downvote and next buttons are, like, right there.

        He also publishes written articles, but not for all videos, and not usually at the same time as the video.

        Edit: also, there’s more to the video than reading from a script. You’d know this if you, uh, watched the video.

        Not really sure where you’re coming from. If you don’t want to watch a video … like, maybe, just don’t? I was attempting to provide solutions. And “a guy reads from a script” is literally how videos are made, so that’s a weird flex.

        Steve has really come into his own as EIC in the past two years, and the channel (which I used to ignore) is much better for it. Come for the stats, stay for the biting political commentary.
