I love the current infatuation with modeling old CRT display systems. Old graphics and videos from the "time before" rely a bit on how those display systems and signals worked in order to make low-color and resolution artifacts lo

I'm glad I'm not crazy :D Do you see an eventual future where some notional "model-on-chip" would hard-wire something like whisper into a dedicated integrated low-power chip for these more demanding uses?

Good response. However, wouldn't your described use-case be an activity that occurs after wakeword activation? Then handoff the rest of the audiostream to Whisper for transcription?

What I'm saying is that measuring output for knowledge workers in terms of some kind of unit other than business impact is not a great idea.

Do you continue to get residuals long after you've left a job? In most agency-based industries, the workers don't get paid between gigs, only during. Good workers hunt around for good agents, and they can make massive amounts of m
