A few years ago I realized we passed a threshold and that voice recordings had been “handled” (meaning you could conceivably use compression to record audio 24/7 and store it without too much cost since 1 year was about 1TB and multi-TB drives had dropped in price). Then that fact sat in the back of my head for a bit and I wrote it off since “yes you could record it all, but then what? It takes so much time to filter and edit that you’d have to make the choice between filtering and actually living”. But now, we’ve reached the edge of a different threshold: AI will be able to do the filtering and sorting. I suspect that this means those who stored everything they were even remotely interested in will have an advantage. They will be able to have AI reveal the gems that others will have lost completely.
