alt Hacker NewsFetching every church from IRS data; using a small local Mac mini LLM to match to their Google result, fetching site and (eventually) running a data enrichment LLM pass to determine various positions, metadata, and services offered. I just really wanted to see the data in aggregate. My current match rate is 30% with qwen2.5-14b. Doing my best to avoid spending a lot of $ on the processing even if the Mac mini is slow.
Stretch goal: start transcribing sermons (most churches link to videos) and using a LLM pass to look for toxic traits. Speak truth to power about how a lot of them turn a blind eye to this political moment.
We’ll see how it goes.
I love this idea. I love that you're using these new tools to do what would essentially be weeks/months of work by a small team of people. Elaborate on "toxic traits" and "Speak truth to power about how a lot of them turn a blind eye to this political moment." please. No judgement, I promise.
