So? Break context scrapers till they give up, on your site or completely.
- Comment on I've tried nearly every browser out there and these are my top 6 (none are Chrome) 5 weeks ago:
Do any of these sync with the Firefox Android app? Or do they have their own?

Real and fake reviews getting summarized in the same writing style so you can’t even tell the difference anymore.

- Comment on DOJ to ask judge to force Google to sell off Chrome, Bloomberg reports 5 months ago:
Do they have the money? What is the value of Chrome anyways, if you can’t do monopoly things with it? About as much as Firefox?
- Comment on "What Is Your Dream for Mozilla" - Mozilla is doing a survey, questions include "What is most important to you right now about technology and the internet?" 5 months ago:
Take a minute to learn the difference between mozilla.org and mozilla.com. They are very much separate, and the .com has never pretended to not be there for the money. It’s explicitly why it exists, so that the org can keep doing its thing.

I use it for generating subtitles. It figures out context, it ignores stuttering, it does punctuation etc. It’s really is just better. With clean audio it transcribes like a human does.
It does better than other techniques with dirty audio, but when it fails it fails weird, which is the big issue here.

Whisper really is a lot better when it works, and it’s free. The problem is that it refuses to produce gibberish or give up when it doesn’t work. You’ll always need an editor.

It’s actually extremely good at figuring out confusing text. It gets weird when the audio quality is bad.
I use it for generating subs for obscure movies.
