We experimented with LLM text summarization against the #DEFCON talks.
I was hoping we could post summaries of talks, index the captions, and make all our speakers presentations that much more accessible. Great!
Turns out summarizing the text of live presentations is terrible when references are made to slides on the screen. “See this code over here? When this condition over there is met we can access these objects..”
So I’ll focus on getting search working against the captions first, and worry about summaries in the future.
