Earlier quoted context omitted.

The dystopia of searching for video clips and finding them? What?

Yes? Right now it is relatively expensive to search video. As embedding tech like this advances and makes it even cheaper it just increases the ability to search and analyze every movement. “Locate speech patterns that indicate dissident activity using the dissident activity skill”

Very impressive! A webhook could be configured to trigger an alarm if a semantic match to any category of activities is detected, and then you basically have a virtual security guard and private investigator. Well played.

Thanks! Yeah that would be pretty cool, but continuous indexing would be pretty expensive now, because the model's in public preview and there are no local alternatives afaik. This very well might be a reality in a couple years though!

Very cool stuff, gave me the inspiration to try it locally. Works fairly well I think: https://github.com/jakejimenez/sentinelsearch

What a brilliant idea! is this all done locally? That's incredible.

While the vector store is local, it is sending the data to Gemini's API for embedding. (Which if using a paid API key is probably fine for most use cases, no long term retention/training etc.)

works completely locally with a decent model: https://github.com/jakejimenez/sentinelsearch
