✍🏻 AI tool that’s blowing my mind

WisprFlow.ai - Don’t type, just speak

I'm always trying to dabble in the new AI. But one I'm actually using and fully implemented is Wispr Flow. It's a full voice-to-speech app installed on my Mac that is shockingly accurate. No need to give it commas or punctuation, it works all of that out and formats it for you. You just speak normally (in fact I'm actually talking this right now, it put these brackets in without me prompting). A game changer in terms of flow and productivity.

Whilst on the topic of AI, Ai video generation is getting ridiculous now..

🎥 A gadget I’m playing with

I've had a couple of GoPro Hero 8's for some time now, and they are incredibly erratic. I seldom use 4K on them because they generally overheat, have various battery issues (such as swelling) or just randomly turn off mid-shoot. When a lot of my days now revolve around capturing content, I can't take the risk of them anymore. I've splurged on the DJI Action 5 Pro. Just everything about DJI's products is incredible - such intentional design incredibly quick and intuitive to use (I love the quick magnetic mounting system these have). Slowly all of my gear is becoming DJI. Look out for the quality change in future videos!

🎵 On heavy rotation

The whole album is 33 minutes long.  Heavy metal/punk rock west coast skater vibes.  This is going straight onto my snowboarding playlist! 🏂

📖 What I’m reading

This has been on my reading list for a while, and I initially put it off because I thought it'd be very academic-heavy. But very quickly, I believe it's going to be one of those life changing books in the same realm as "Why We Sleep". I'm only a few chapters in. The premise is simple: most of us never really connect with other people. A perfect example of (included in the book) is a famous quote by Winston Churchill's mother on meeting both William Gladstone and Benjamin Disraeli.

“When I left the dining room after sitting next to Mr. Gladstone, I thought he was the cleverest man in England. But after sitting next to Mr. Disraeli, I thought I was the cleverest woman in England.”

Powerful stuff and I can’t wait to dive deeper!

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I'd love to know what you're up to or what you might be working on!

Have a great week!
