Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

How about real-time subtitles on movies in any language you want that are always synced?
VLC is working on that with the use of LLMs
We've had speech to text since the 90s. Current iterations have improved, like most technology has improved since the 90s. But, no, I wouldn't buy a new computer with glaring privacy concerns for real time subtitles in movies.
I tried feeding Japanese audio to an LLM to generate English subs and it started translating silence and music as requests to donate to anime fansubbers.
No, really. Fansubbed anime would put their donation message over the intro music or when there wasn't any speech to sub and the LLM learned that.
All according to k-AI-kaku!
You're thinking too small. AI could automatically dub the entire movie while mimicking the actors voice while simultaneously moving their lips and mouth to form the words correctly.
It would just take your daily home power usage to do a single 2hr movie.
