Ah sorry! I'm going to downweight this thread now.

There's so much demand around this, people are just super eager to get the information. I can understand why, because it was my favorite talk as well :)

How soon? I am contemplating whether to read this errorful transcript or wait for the video

anything you'd want fixed immediately? happy to do so – or even take this down if you wish. it's your talk.

Is this because it was recorded with AI tooling rather than a traditional note taker?

it was an audio recording, transcribed with speech to text models. there's definitely some errors and words lost. I also tried to emphasize this

Thanks for the clarification. Bit ironic given the talk’s subject. It is quite a bit of effort, but there’s something to say for going through and manually writing up the transcript like a journalist. Sometimes you can’t beat human effort ;)

What about a middle ground? Speech-to-text AI with manual corrections?

That’s a great approach! That’s what I meant to convey if I had been a bit more articulate. I assume journalists do exactly that. Takes away some laborious work while retaining accuracy.

Shouldn't matter right, all we need is the vibe of the words, not the actual words after all.

The video is now up and on the front page of HN:

right, can you please move this whole discussion thread over there then, to avoid the duplicate conversation?

Please don't think we have haven't put any thought into this. It's not always a straightforward decision.

In this case the determining factor is that the original submission was not the verbatim speech that the speaker gave, and the speaker himself complained that that some of the transcription was inaccurate.

This then caused significant meta-discussion about the inaccuracy of the transcription. For the other comments that were about the content itself, we can't be sure if those comments were made in response to parts of the talk that were accurately or inaccurately transcribed.

We understand there may be overlapping comments, but that's a price we have to pay given the other considerations. No decision would be perfect, and it's not the same as usual "dupe" scenarios. We have to be a bit flexible when the situation is different from the norm in important ways.
