I do captioning for a living. You’d think AI could do it. But you’d be wrong.
Context is hard, and so is understanding when and where to break up lines, & match them to shots down to 1/24th of a second.
The gulf between human-designed captions & AI is enormous.
I feel secure in my job.

suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research:
they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.

You've never had to apologize for being white in America, but of course, that's not really what Vance is trying to tell his rabid followers. What he's really trying to tell them is that they don't need to apologize for believing they should have it easier because they're white.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

In the summer of 1950 most US newspapers ran an AP story about how race had become the main issue in the upcoming Georgia governor's race. Segregationist Herman Tallmadge, governor from '47 to '55 and then a Senator until 1981 made a name for himself by refusing to "apologize for being a white man."

Ukraine war live: Putin praises Trump in lengthy speech as Zelenskyy welcomes EU’s €90bn loan
Russian president praises Trump’s ‘serious effort’ to end conflict in annual year-end news conference after EU agrees €90bn loan to Ukraine

EU leaders agree €90bn loan for Ukraine but without use of frozen Russian assets
In his first comments on Ukraine, Putin swiftly blames Kyiv for the continuing war, saying “they are basically refusing to finish this conflict via peaceful means” (whatever that means from the literally invading party).
