I emailed the text to Ken Myers and he acknowledged it, but I don't know what happened to it. It doesn't seem to have appeared here yet (I've done 03 and 04 from 2009): http://www.singularityvolunteers.org/opportunities/transcription/videos
Some random thoughts about that page:
Adding to what Luke said, which ones have you and haven't you transcribed? I'll transcribe others.
Damnit, now I've got semantic satiation on the word "transcribe".
I've been slowly working down the 2009 list in the order that they're listed here: http://www.singularityvolunteers.org/opportunities/transcription/videos
Doing them in popularity order might make more intuitive sense, but doing them sequentially might result in fewer collisions if multiple people are doing it simultaneously. See also my reply to lukeprog.
Edit: completed on 30-Jan-2012 (note deadline slip from 31-Dec-2011)
I'll commit to transcribing
by December 1, 2011. (Other transcribers should notice that I skipped one in this list; I want to start with talks I haven't already seen).
It would be best if there were some sort of official place to put intent to transcribe, but for now I'll edit this comment with my own intentions to transcribe those videos, with appropriate automatic removal and assumption that the work will never be done if it's not done by a date specified by the user.
Edited to add, December 6, 2011: Task was completed on time. Currently too busy to commit to more for a while.
If it's ok to NOT do them sequentially (I'd rather transcribe the ones I'm more interested in), I'll commit to transcribing
Where do we send the transcriptions when we are done?
Also, when doing the Bostrom video, I was able to "summarize"/re-word to almost 1/3 of the length (the way people talk isn't necessarily the easiest/quickest way to convey textual information in written form). It was a PITA, so I won't absolutely commit to doing it for the other vids, but would that be something people were interested in?
Adding on to that, these three links seem to be broken because of a stray %0A:
Alexander Wissner-Gross. Planetary-scale intelligence.
Tyler Cowen & Michael Vassar. Debate on the Great Stagnation.
Dileep George and Scott Brown. From planes to brains: building AI the Wright way.
Wonderfull resource to have!
Also I'm just wondering if you have any comment on the somewhat related questions I have about the availability of the summit talks.
