All of the rooms/corridors in my house except my bathrooms are covered by cameras. My initial motivation for installing them was to keep an eye on what my pets were doing when I'm not around, but I find in recent years that if I misplace something, I end up tracing back my history on the cameras and finding where I left it. It seems obvious that at some point, AI will be able to do that for me and I'll just be able t…

I would 100% prefer to lose my keys rather than letting Amazon or Google in. FYI: I have zero Alexa/Siri enabled device, zero automated home device, a degoogled phone, etc etc. So we might have different perspectives on the matter.

An off the shelf solution for recording your whole life: I have a Sony recorder, ICD-UX570, and it has a setting where it turns on or off based on sound, and also adjusts the gain to best record. It takes a micro-SD card and has pretty solid battery. I think you could put it in a breast pocket and run it for several days on a single charge. Because it would just record when you are talking or making noises you could…

Would the sound of jostling in your pocket/bag not set off the recording?

Since everyone is interested in the hardware: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803349510543.html https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803085687061.html the particular choice was for the battery and the other for the size, both are generic and come with the same software and bios, several vendors, if I could buy something better I would look for one that can have a lavalier microphone

Thank you for the links and for the article. How long can record the smaller one? Actually if it can record for a day, it'd be enough for me. I used to record all phone calls, until EU made Xiaomi remove the feature. It was very useful because I always could take notes later if they sent me a number, contact name or appointment hour.

I've been experimenting with this recently as well, but with an app on my apple watch. Looking for a method/model to split different speakers into different tracks to only look at audio from myself and certain people.

Someone is experimenting with diarization (speaker identification) + Whisper here https://github.com/openai/whisper/discussions/264

Nah, is it much more efficient to distract you into loosing your box of fuses and manipulate you into buying new ones. Alexa AI doesn't work for you, it's a hired gun in your house.
