The type of free speach, where you get death threads if you insult slightly contradict the dear leader.

Inspired by this I looked for some news reports about Trump in the eighties, found one mentioning he was to be visited by Gorbachev in New York.

But of course the real story is much dumber than that:

Looks like Trump was onto it quite quickly, see minute 1:30. Guess he knows his russian leaders.

The text below, dubbed the “Authoritarian Regime Survival Guide”, was published in social media in January 2017 in a series of improvised, spontaneous tweets, which reached 3 million views within one month. Their common element was their trademark signature, “- With love, your Eastern European friends”, and the accompanying hashtag #LearnFromEurope.

If you want to do audio transcriptions on your machine, here is a bunch of scripts that show how to do it with whisper-cpp.

I found the transcription results to be better than what youtube et al generate automatically. On my M1 MacBook Air the transcription is mostly faster than real time.

install.sh:

#!/bin/bash
brew install whisper-cpp ffmpeg wget

download-model.sh:

#!/bin/bash
wget https://ggml.ggerganov.com/ggml-model-whisper-large-q5_0.bin

transcode-to-wave.sh:

#!/bin/bash

# Check if an argument was provided
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
    echo "Usage: $0 <input_file>"
    exit 1
fi

# Extract filename without extension
input_file="$1"
base_name="$(basename "$input_file" | sed -E 's/[^a-zA-Z0-9]//g')"
output_file="${base_name}.wav"

# Run FFmpeg command
ffmpeg -i "$input_file" -ac 1 -ar 16000 "$output_file"

whisper-transcribe.sh:

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$#" -ne 2 ]; then
    echo "Usage: $0 <wav_file> <language>"
    exit 1
fi

WAV_FILE="$1"
LANGUAGE="$2"

if [ ! -f "$WAV_FILE" ]; then
    echo "Error: File '$WAV_FILE' not found!"
    exit 1
fi

MODEL="ggml-model-whisper-large-q5_0.bin"

echo "Transcribing '$WAV_FILE' to language '$LANGUAGE'..."
whisper-cli \
    -l "$LANGUAGE" \
    -m "$MODEL" \
    --output-txt \
    --output-vtt \
    --output-srt \
    --output-lrc \
    --output-words \
    --output-csv \
    --output-json \
    --output-json-full \
    "$WAV_FILE"

echo "Transcription completed!"
