Story of the two thousand stolen Playdate handhelds

I summarized the transcript into an article: https://gist.github.com/justjanne/1e1254bf207c4d98862e040136...

Not sure if it helps anyone else, but for me it made the story a lot easier to grasp.

I wrote most of it by hand, using an LLM just for a rough outline which I then manually rewrote line by line, streamlined, removed hallucinations, double-checked all quotes, reordered and added images and links.

That was amazing. I wasn't up for spending an hour listening to the podcast, but a few minute reading the article you created were well worth it. Thank you!

Honestly original article is way more interesting and nuanced. I'm afraid LLM version is too short and while technically correct definitely feels like dry list of random facts from transcription.

Oh I don't disagree in the slightest, after all it's basically an interview full of personal experiences and anecdotes.

But HN already has a problem with people commenting without reading the article, even if that article is relatively short. With an hour-long podcast episode or a transcript stuffed with filler words and partial sentences it's even worse.

Well, the LLM summary was a lot more thrilling and entertaining than my version. Sadly, it was also wrong and full of hallucinations.
