I love this vision! I think this is what we’re moving toward with L402. My best guess is that it will be machines competing to offer data / services to other machines instead of humans. So imagine asking gpt-engineer or some AI assistant to plan a vacation for you or whatever. And in the background it’s calling dozens of APIs/services. One call for weather data to choose a place (paying 100 sats for nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm‘s weather data service), another call to book the flights, another call to Waymo to pick you up, etc.

One q for me is where to begin here? What data or service is valuable enough to justify the paid call. Could be calling another LLM bc the compute costs are real. Could be accessing some valuable data source that’s already paywalled.

Basically where will the L402 takeoff begin?

I'm scratching my own itch here

I want podcast transcriptions on nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x

* you add a podcast URL to highlighter, it sees it's a podcast (or a nostr:npub1zapstrdhq7rxrw224apgvs5ajlh9y473f2rdd0a9fjcys2u8d7cqzxqhp9 event)

* it shows you a "Transcribe" button, you click it and it posts the job spec with the audio file saying that it wants a transcription

* someone (initially nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x ) fulfills the job

* user pays

* success

It's a very simple use case, but it's valuable and economical and unlocks the whole primitive of a computation marketplace.

What's even cooler is that I see a scenario where there could be a mix between AI and human-curated workers

1) I get a very fast translation using a fast yet imprecise model

2) I do my highlighting based on it's results

3) 20 minutes later I get a human-corrected version of the transcription

4) I pay both because I care about the information I'm curating

The building block is so abstract that service providers can compete in all kinds of realms

O I get it! I love it

In this alpha version, is highlighter running whisper in the background and charging sats / word (or something)? Then farming out to humans for additional feedback for premium version?

Yeah, under this model highlighter will be sort of the market maker for this model while I explore what it looks like

But yeah, I’m just running whisper on a few servers and making it accessible through this nostr computing market im creating

Today whisper, tomorrow all models? 😉
