    Dan Kokotov, Lex Fridman

    Dan Kokotov, VP of Engineering at Rev.ai, explains how the company utilizes a hybrid business model combining human transcriptionists with automated speech recognition to generate high-quality labeled data for AI training. Kokotov and host Lex Friedman discuss Rev's strategy to compete with tech giants by reducing word error rates while emphasizing ethical product development over short-term engagement metrics. The conversation further explores the philosophical parallels between coding and biological creation, drawing inspiration from Frank Herbert's *Dune* and the importance of human curation in preventing technological stagnation.
