Maybe we'll just end up with a bunch of AI-controlled machines fighting each other instead of people fighting with each other.
I wonder if these techno-governments will have similar reproducibility issues.
I wonder if this is just a straight-up "bad idea"

I think we've all read about ‘The Stanford Prison Experiment’ and how that ended.

Maybe something useful will come out of it and I am definitely in support of thinking outside of the box. But there are probably some major downsides to this...

Sky Hub has developed an observational platform UFOs and UAPs. It's a group of engineers and scientists that are approaching subject skeptically. They are data and evidence focused non-profit organization. You can check it out at https://skyhub.org
Thanks for the feedback.
We do have plans to support additional languages and we should have support for additional languages next year.
We developed and built a distributed processing system that we use to automatically transcribe the audio.
We have a cluster that that is automatically transcribing newly published episodes.
Re:Show HN: Podflix – Like Netflix for Podcasts on Tuesday September 25, 2018 @11:39AM (#18067297)
That's pretty interesting. I think there are some downsides to taking the Netflix-style of discovery. I find it buries obscure content and it creates a limited view of content. It creates a bubble of specific content which has its upsides and downsides.

There are several other tools for podcast discovery. There is FluidDATA that has transcribed almost 11 million podcast episodes and it lets your search all of the episodes and channels by phrase or mention. The search page is available here: https://fluiddata.com/

FluidDATA definitely has a different model than PodScript.

FluidDATA doesn't expose the entire transcript. It currently only exposes the ability to search the transcripts of millions of podcasts.

For example, you can find podcasts that talk about SpeechBoard and Craig by searching: "speech board" + "craig canon"

https://fluiddata.com/search?term=%22speech%20board%22%20%2B...

FluidDATA has the Joe Rogan podcasts for free at https://fluiddata.com/search?channel_id=9853

Not to mention, FluidDATA has transcribed over 8.2 million podcast episodes from over 230,000 podcast feeds.

If you haven't stumbled across it yet, you can check out the FluidDATA web search that let's you search millions of podcasts by phrase or mention here https://fluiddata.com/
