Speech Recognition Better Than a Human's Exists. You Just Can't Use It Yet

Are you worried that it's going to supplant my
99.67% accuracy rating in another two years?
Or ten years? Or 20? And that's just talking about
the technical accuracy; I haven't even begun to
get into the semantic accuracy.
The Bloomberg article says speech recognition in the lab already applies semantic context to improve accuracy. The article also says 75% percent accuracy from 2012 is up to 92% today, and that we can expect super-human speech recognition online before 2017. Google tends to look a few steps ahead.
Remember that whole debacle with GOOG-411
and speech recognition? They intend to use
the free GOOG-411 service to improve their
speech recognition so that YouTube videos
can eventually have automatic closed captioning,
and can -- in turn -- be searchable by Google
and can offer a whole new era of video search
results.
The automatic closed captioning is especially interesting. Any truth to it?
p2p no huge IP infrastructure between nodes
interest packets at narrow waist (like human attention, scarce)
sign all packets, more secure, easier to trust|not
hash for pointers, no surprises in containers
crypto apply more cryptography, less web3 baloney
broadcast radio native, no emulation of copper wire
data, closer to where you want, find faster, keep
content you want w/out intermediation, need to find "where" within IP/udp/tcp addresses
