Well, if openai hasn’t decided to start generating some revenue. At $.006/minute, the new openai transcription service is incredibly compelling and will have far reaching impact.

The accuracy and speed, even self-hosted, is staggering. We’re going to start seeing some cool projects popup around this as we have with all the other openai products.
