Kind of a random thing, but I've gotten to the age where I'm starting to care about what the city council is doing. So I downloaded all the available council meeting notes from the last 16 years and pointed Qwen 3.8 27B Q6 at them and started having it dig through notes. Namely I wanted to see who approved the purchase of Flock cameras for our town. Turns out the police chief got a $9,000 grant for them but i didn't find any mention of public comments about them in the minutes. The minutes are basically summaries, so they're not all encompassing, but they do live stream to YouTube all the meetings and I see that YouTube has auto transcriptions but I don't know of a good way to scrape that data so that I can then point my LLM at them. Any ideas?   submitted by   /u/Strid3r21 [link]   [comments]
