obvious privacy concerns aside, who the hell actually needs this?
If something I do is important enough to remember later, I do save it (bookmark, screenshot, screencast, whatever). This doesn't need to be automated, esp. since it seems to require 25-50 GB of diskspace to do anyway.
For users, this is a solution seeking for a problem. For megacorpo this is just more data harvesting, even if it's "only local" for now. Hard pass, nopety-nope-nope, also arch btw and so forth.
I also hate every part of this and will turn it off as soon as it shows up.
But in terms of who actually wants this. If an AI assistant were to exist, and if it was actually going to be useful to someone, it would need to know just about everything in your life. At least in theory... In order for an assistant to be useful you would want to be able to ask it "what was Italian restaurant I was thinking of trying" and you would want a response.
I'm not sure this privacy nightmare of an implementation is the correct path to that, but that's roughly what I suspect the desired outcome is.
