In 'dada da ta' over 50 hours of interviews have been sourced from YouTube then processed using the IBM Watson AI speech to text programme to transcribe the interviews and a custom-made computer programme to extract in time order the instances of the participants speaking in numbers and then remove the words from the source videos – leaving the interview’s chronology intact yet reduced to a stream of numbers:
“One, one billion, one million, one hundred million, two billion, one, two hundred, ten thousand, eighteen thousand, two, two, two, ten, fifteen, nine thousand.” —Elon Musk
