The title is compelling, but I can't read it because of Medium's obnoxious paywall ransom (https://i.imgur.com/sJWoFM8.png). Out of curiosity -- as an author, is this how you hope that Medium would treat your content? I don't know much about how people try to monetize their blogs, but the folks I've talked to who want to monetize their content seem to prefer something like Substack, which has a much more honest business model (in that they're up front about it all).

Anyways, sorry for the first comment on your submission to be a complaint about Medium, but it's really annoying to discover another domain pointed to their paywall.

Hey icey, thanks for the comment! I don't normally post there but my AI friends said this is the place to post! Anyway, here is the friend link that you can use by bypass the paywall: https://towardsdatascience.com/how-i-built-a-deep-learning-p...

Have fun!

Thanks! This is pretty cool. Interesting that you had to spend so much time on the infrastructure side of things (both wrestling with Sagemaker, and with Slack's API rules). Seems like a lot of people end up in that same spot when trying to ship models into production.

Either way, I appreciate the non-paywalled link!

I also just disabled the paywall for the original link. Either one should work now hopefully.

Fascinating work. I wish it were possible to try out something similar with Whatsapp but they don't seem to have an API.
