Out of principle, the Antidote Writers Collective prepares all transcripts by hand. No love for AI here. Attentive and conscientious humans still do better work.
Additionally, this is labor we are willing to do upon request or suggestion, with adequate compensation: we’re an unfunded project so we can be coaxed into selling our labor for money. But! if we like the material we’re transcribing we also accept permission to post as fair reward.

There are much better ways to organize globalization. We still haven’t even begun to look at that in a politically engaged manner in much of the rich world.
