If a picture is usually worth 1000 words, the pictures in this are on a 99.6% discount. What the actual...?

It's a conference workshop; these are the slides from the workshop, and the words are a dictation from the delivery.

That seems like a leaky implementation detail to me, for a published piece.

You should learn to be grateful for what other people do on their own time and demand nothing from you for you to benefit from it.

On the other hand, when we critique, it is for the benefit of everyone who reads the critique and learns from it.

That's why critique has value. To the original author/artist (if they see it), but also to everyone else who sees it. "Oh, I was going to intersperse text slides with a transcript, but I remember how offputting that was once on HN, so let's skip the slides."

Text slides interspersed with the transcript work great normally.

But this is mostly slides with just four words of content, and a transcript that just be repeats the same words.

The article in question is written by a person who stands to benefit heavily from AI & agents succeeding. They appear to be a true believer so this isn’t a disparaging comment, but a snake oil salesman would display the same behavior.

I look forward to anything I see ghuntley post, and Ive gotten a lot of benefit from his contributions especially in the .net space, but I have to agree here. The format was distracting and really affected my ability to read it. I havent seen the live version, but I have a feeling the slide deck format would also be distracting (2-4 words per slide is really not communicating ideas effectively when you need all the words to form the sentence).
