Yes, I would trust this 100%.




Is there anything you’re thinking about where this might be useful for you?

No.

I think that there is some limit to how much additional information is useful to the AI tools that I use. I don’t know where that limit is and I also think that models are getting better all the time, so storing the data now for later use might be useful.

I have no idea how much it would cost to store/analyze 14-18 hours of data a day? I’m assuming that it could be post-processed and delete the useless stuff?

Obviously I understand the privacy-zealots issues with this technology. But I’m going to be dead in a couple decades and this idea sounds interesting to me. To me, whatever risk there is would be worth the unknown reward.


Thank you, that's a very valuable and encouraging contribution :)

I've also considered the idea of collecting data now that might be useful later. However, at least within the EU, data storage must be purpose-specific.

That’s why I believe everything should be rejected immediately (similar to how wake word detection works), and only the data the user explicitly enables the AI to store should be retained. This reduces the required storage already. And the post-processing: agree, can also imagine something like "compressing the information of one hour" --> and "compress day" ...
