I think it is. It's more akin to a renovation project. Like when venues have a 1920's pipe organ upgraded and refurbished to keep it playing. Sure the keyboard is now midi, the pump is electric instead of manual and the valves are electrically controlled now. But it keeps a masterpiece in working order and modernized for today's enjoyment. While an engineer definitely lost nights of sleep and lots of elbow grease to make it possible. It's not easy to keep such old code modern and playable.

As of right now, there's no AI product that actually do any of those things you need without a human in the middle to curate and correct the output. So you have to pay for AI and also a person to wrangle the AI.

For example, the company I work for has the whole office 365 package. It includes an AI enhanced automatic audio transcript. It is supposedly capable of transcription of Teams meetings and to generate a summary and minutes of the meeting. Except it consistently insists the meeting was held in German, despite the fact we only speak Spanish or English during meetings, we are not in Germany, nor we are anywhere close to Europe. It also can't cope with low quality microphones, slow internet lag and sound cutoffs throw it out of whack and it requires all the meeting to be recorded and stored at MS servers (not our in-house exchange server) which means that it is useless for some meetings were confidential information is discussed and recording is disallowed.

It would take one of us a couple of hours to correct the transcript to make the summary function work and then make the minute and summary actually be in a useful format for us. Or, that same person could participate in the meeting taking notes, then use half an hour to write the minutes directly.

Your best bet to do those things you need is to find and pay for a good personal assistant. Cut the middleware.

Injecting yourself in a day old conversation to defend calling people psychopaths as an excuse for comedy. I don't even have to say how much I don't care about your opinion.

Learn to read. “the Archbishop of Canterbury’s views have sway around the Commonwealth and beyond […] the Lords Spiritual number 26 votes in our unelected upper chamber of parliament. These people still have power. ” That's a religious issue within that religion that affects non-religious people. You see how that reinforces my point? I don't fucking care whatever the the church end up deciding to do because I don't fucking belong to that church and therefore that stupid church has no power over my life. But when the assholess inside the church influence civil decisions, then that becomes a problem. Either get out of political life, or change and accept that your worldview not only sucks, but isn't supported anymore.

The other way around. It's the agnostics who defend your right to do whatever you want inside your church, as long as it isn't illegal. It's outside your stupid church you don't get to say or command anything. And that's what offends religious folks. Losing the power to force others to obey your religion is not oppression, leave us the fuck alone.

A painting by a homosexual naturalist scientist that constantly gets co-opted by the church. Religious folk are so ridiculous on what you choose to get your feathers ruffled over. It's just a stupid painting that he made to experiment with new materials for fresco murals.

What in the OCD is this? /s

No, but seriously, I use only a spreadsheet for the things I need to track. Is there a proper small scale database solution?

It was supposed to be a representation of a bacchanal or dionisya. There are dozens of paintings of those celebrations that look sorta like the last supper, if you squint very hard and turn off your brain.

Just to cut to the chase, insulting people is not endearing or cute. Is just insulting. There's nothing cutesy about insulting half the world population. I don't give a fuck what you think about other's usage of alternate keyboard layouts. I care about my health, you can go kick rocks somewhere else.

I hate vi shortcuts because they never take non-qwerty keyboard distributions into account and it is unpredictable whether they'll follow position or letter and shortcuts of webpages aren't remappable.

That's because he aims at a very specific hyper engaged demographic. The pre-pubescent teenager. Then they keep watching either out of habit or emotional stunting. They might not be a very sofisticated audience, but they are very dedicated. It might be all they watch, they construct their identity around the content they watch and demand parents to spend money on the products pushed to them by their favorite influencers.

This is not unusual, all generations have done it and diverse agents have capitalized from it. From boy bands, to star wars, Disney kids/adults… They are the unicorn audience in marketing, if you can get your claws on a person during that development stage, you got yourself a consumer of your brand for life.

Habituation. We get used to seeing the same things all the time. When you do novelty or high adrenaline experiences your perception changes. Try jumping with a parachute out of a plane, or a high altitude zip lining, driving a race car around a track, etc. Aftewards you experience a sense of heightened perception and appreciation.
