having written a transcript of a three hour yascast, with timestamps, even with the help of Audacity’s primitive autotranscribing tool that got it halfway right it was an immense amount of labor that took many hours, that I did for free because I’m dedicated to everything I produce being accessible, but if Yassie had to pay someone to do this much labor for every episode there’s no way they could.
this should be done by a machine, and current models aren’t getting it perfect but they are impressive and this technology can do this task. and not every AI is running a whole fucking datacenter at 8 billion kWh, small scale AI can do things like transcription from audio or images at an energy cost no greater than y’all complaining about it.
at the end of the day it’s more important to me that accessibility options such as captions exist so disabled people can enjoy art.
