>Everyone needs a rewarding hobby. I’ve been scanning all of my receipts since 2001. I never typed in a single price - just kept the images. I figured someday the technology to read them would catch up, and the data would be interesting.
This is perhaps among the best openers I've ever read.
[spoiler: the tech caught up, the data is interesting]
I read a lot. This article, entirely.
- MarceliusK 7mo agoTechnically interesting and genuinely well-written end to end
- andai 7mo agoI have the same thing except instead of receipts, I've been saving everything. "Some day, AI will be able to sort this out." Now I'm just waiting for the token costs to come down ;)

I can imagine (as a former) business owner support for this is worth $100/month, a personalplan much less but still interested [introfree tier?!]. IMHO the worst part of running any business/project is the paperwork... My taxesforms still get struck typewritten. For 2022, I thanked ChatGPT (lol). Audit me, I don't care (you will).
