I’m enjoying using Gemini as a needle in the haystack tool for podcasts. When I remember a moment but not when it was, I don’t want to scrub through an hour and a half trying to find it. I can drop in a podcast URL, describe the section I need, and Gemini finds it, transcribes it, and can even turn it into an infographic.
This week, while working on my AI newsletter, I saw a quote from Elon Musk saying Tesla will build a 1 million unit Optimus production line in Fremont, then a 10 million unit line in Austin.
Those numbers reminded me of Scott Galloway on Pivot, where he rattled off a list of Elon’s missed goals, but I couldn’t remember the timestamp.
I asked Gemini to find it, and it did. Then I had it generate a couple of infographics just for fun.
I’ll paste the transcript below, and I’ll also share a few of the infographics in various styles.
Me to Gemini: Please go through this video. and pull out the quote where Scott starts listing Elon’s claims after the flying car it starts around the 44 minute Mark where he says it’s been 2,400 days. Please transcribe that portion.
From Gemini: Here is the transcript of the quote you requested, starting at the 44:10 mark where Scott Galloway lists the data regarding Elon Musk’s past claims:
“Well, okay, so let’s just look at the data. It’s been 2,400 days since Elon said there would be 1 million Tesla robotaxis within the year. It’s been 3,100 days since he said all Superchargers were being converted to solar. It’s been 3,300 days since Tesla started charging customers for self-driving software that he said would be able to drive from L.A. to New York City autonomously by the end of 2017. That still hasn’t happened, eight years later. It’s been [number] days since he predicted that under his leadership Twitter could reach a billion monthly users. It’s been 1,700 days since he announced that he’d be uploading a full self-driving button to Teslas.”
