ytsummary.py is a summariser for youtube videos. It uses the youtube API to get the video's transcript and then uses OpenAI's text-davinci-003 model to summarise the transcript.
You will require an api key for Open API. Sign up for one here. Note that this will cost money, use it at your own risk.
First install python (I used v3.10). Then set up a virtual environment and install the requirements using the setupvenv script:
Windows:
.\setupvenv.ps1
Linux / Mac:
. ./setupvenv.sh
Next, copy the file 'setcreds template.py' to 'setcreds.py' and fill in your OpenAI API key.
Now you can summarize a youtube video by running:
python ytsummary.py <youtube video url> --diagnostics --mentions
--diagnostics: outputs verbose information about the summarisation process
--mentions: outputs people and things mentioned in the video
python ytsummary.py https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ4W1g-6JiY
Found 2 chunks
Summary of chunk 1:
In this section, the speaker discusses the potential
benefits of nuclear fusion research and development,
and how it has been incorrectly communicated to the
public and policy makers. They then discuss the
sponsor of the video, Magellan TV, and the
documentary "The Story of Energy". The speaker then
explains the concept of energy gain (Q) and how it
relates to nuclear fusion, and how the energy gain
that is normally quoted (Q Plasma) is not the same as
the energy gain of the entire reactor (Q Total). They
then discuss the current popular methods of nuclear
fusion, and how the confusion of the energy gain has
been around since 1988. Finally, they explain how the
Q Total of current experiments is much lower than the
Q Plasma, and is likely well below 0.1.
Summary of chunk 2:
This section of the transcript discusses the confusion
between the terms "energy" and "power" when
discussing nuclear fusion. It also highlights the
importance of understanding the total energy gain
when investing in research projects, and encourages
people to call out any popular science articles or
interviews that do not clearly spell out the total
energy gain.
