Rich Rodriguez, International Analyst of Mystery (beta) Comment Count

Brian

Google launched a thing where it will automatically caption youtube videos based on speech recognition software. It's slightly beta. It appears the corpus it was trained on was Donald Rumsfeld poorly translated back and fourth from Japanese six to seven times. It opened a wormhole into an alternate universe where Rodriguez is an important political analyst.

Mr. Rodriguez, what is your opinion on international terrorism?

Wow, this is great. I'm laughing so hard that I'm actually almost tearing up.

It's crazy how oriented around Middle Eastern conflict the press conference apparently was. I didn't even notice it when I was listening.

is usually trained on UN transcripts--since those are translated into and spoken in several different languages (and archived well). There's a ton of data, too, since diplomats love to talk!

But it does leave you with a rather heavy geopolitical focus. Awesome finds :)!
