Újabb kísérlet az AI kitűzők piacán

Megérkezett a Plaud NotePin, egy mesterséges intelligencia alapú eszköz, melynek feladata, hogy a mindennapos beszélgetésekről leiratot készítsen.

A nagy “AI-bumm” kezedetekor számos startup kezdett bele mindenféle önálló hardver fejlesztésébe, de ezekre a többség a kolosszális bukásaik miatt emlékszik - a Rabbitról kiderült, hogy egy szimpla androidos eszközt rejt, a mesterséges intelligenciát pedig mindössze egy alkalmazással is elérhetnék az átlag felhasználók szinte bármilyen okostelefonról, a Humane féle AI kitűző pedig operációs rendszer és hardver szinten is jókora csalódás volt.

A Plaud nevű vállalat is adott ki már korábban AI eszközt Note néven, azonban a gyártó a “beszélgetős kisokos” helyett a beszélgetés átírásokban látta a fantáziát, első eszközük ennek megfelelően egy az újabb iPhone-ok hátlapjára mágnesesen rögzíthető “diktafon AI” lett, melynek feladata a telefonbeszélgetések összefoglalása és az eszköz egészen jól is teljesít ezen a téren. 

Az újdonság ezt a “szellemiséget” viszit tovább. A NotePin egy mindössze 169 dolláros eszköz kompakt kialakítású, könnyen hordozható nyaklánc vagy kitűző, mely akár 20 órán keresztül képes folyamatosan rögzíteni és akár 40 napig is készenlétben maradhat. A felvett szövegből a ChatGPT40 és a Claude 3.5 nyelvi modellek segítségével is képes leiratot készíteni, a Plaud alkalmazás segítségével a rögzített beszélgetések könnyen átírhatók és összefoglalhatók. Az alkalmazás különböző összefoglaló sablonokat kínál, így a felhasználók a saját igényeiknek megfelelően rendszerezhetik az információkat.

Persze a NotePin sem csak az egyszeri vásárlókra épít, az alapárba csak egy ingyenes, havonta csak 300 percnyi felvételt készítését kínáló szolgáltatás tartozik. További 79 dollárért már 1200 percet dolgoztathatunk fel a rendszerrel havonta, illetve többféle feldolgozási sablon közül is választhatunk annak megfelelően, hogy milyen szituációhoz mi passzol a legjobban a mi észjárásunk szerint.

Ranking every Fictions song!!!

looong post ranking every song from Fictions (Souma Saitou).. copied and pasted from my notepin, where readability is easier, but it won't let me link it.. (url is 'noroshi')

We.. can skip the formalities. It is a known fact that I'm a massive Souma Saitou fan. ((um I had a dream that I was at his concert last night))

It's also a known fact (I hope) that I'm perfectly justified, because he's a genius songwriter, and has a stunning voice. He's a gem in the seiyuu industry when it comes to music making.

Fictions is his newest album, which came out on the 25th of September. I wasn't expecting this, but it's my favourite by far. It could probably take the spot for my favourite album of all time, too. But some of the songs in Fictions are undeniably better than others, for that is how the world works.

Obviously, my rankings aren't absolute, and don't let me put you off the lower-ranked songs. I love every single one.

THE RANKING

// 11 :: Puppet Mood

Puppet Mood is one of Souma-san's rougher songs, with a grungey feel to it. His vocals, slightly filtered (iirc) to match the song, are a perfect delivery (what did you expect from Souma-san??). But where it falls short is its repetitiveness and how it fails to spark nearly as much emotion as the other songs. It's an earworm, and the instrumental (especially guitar) is also very well-done, but Souma-san can make terribly evocative music, and this just doesn't fall into that category. Also.. personal, but the 'tururu' is more annoying than helpful....

// 10 :: Kyohansha

Kyohansha, or Accomplice, is (if you're listening in order, which I recommend) the fast-paced, energy-bringing song in the beginning of Fictions, after a number of more downbeat tracks. It throws people off, how it changes from one genre to the other, which can be exciting or frustrating depending on the listener's mood. (I don't know, I quite liked it. It reminds me of a lot of typical VOCALOID stuff.) This one is second-last because his vocals don't shine as much here, but there are still some nice moments!

// 9 :: Riot!

When you start playing Riot!, you might not agree when I say it's the cutest song in the album. BUT IT IS!! The lyrics (I have translated this one), the subtle vocal choices Souma-san makes, they all contribute to a real party feel. Let loose. It's a straightforward, nice song. Soo.. it can only come this far. I have a predilection for the complex melodies, complex lyrics, and things that make me feel. Without that, connecting with the song is much more difficult.

// 8 :: Hammer Girl

Hammer Girl is the second of the three songs that came out prior to the full album. It's a fluid, easy-listening rock song (I eat this stuff UP) with some largely nonsensical lyrics (again, translated by me). It's been stuck in my head for hours. It really means a lot to me. About his performance: this song is a prime example of Souma-san's vocal versatility (especially in the chorus), and hints at his range as well. The riff is also so catchy. I suppose it falls short in its lyrics; though interestingly different from what he usually does, he's done much better.

// 7 :: Sway

Sway is the first of the songs released early. It's really evocative, painting a beautiful picture, and is the most fluid song, transitioning between pop-rock, jazz, and rock. Souma-san's voice. sounds. HEAVENLY. His versatility between genres is shown here too, and his voice is terribly soft, creating a soothing, intimate atmosphere. I suppose all I can say to justify it being in the lower half is that he can (and has) done better, and we are about to enter that territory, but Sway is a beautiful song.

// 6 :: Noctiluca

Noctiluca is at first a ballad, before bursting into power near the end. Its focus is 'flowing', and its lyrics contain some nice imagery to water (also translated!); whenever Souma-san writes about nature, he does the Earth's beauty justice. His vocal performance is perfect, and emotional, and not over the top, which fits brilliantly to our 'flowing' theme. The instrument combo is quite a range (piano, then strings, then picking up with guitar and drums, aand back to piano, before the powerful end), and his voice flows through it effortlessly. (thank you for the vibrato Souma-san we were desperately in need)

// 5 :: Ame no niwa

Ame no niwa, the third of the songs released early, is an example of a simpler, quieter song creating a complex and powerful effect. The first half consists of only piano and Souma-san's painfully beautiful voice, and deceptively simple lyrics. Strings pick up in the middle, and are dropped after, before returning in the emotional last chorus. But before that chorus, there is the most delicate I've ever heard Souma-san's voice- with my favourite lyrics in the song, too (I've translated, please do ask for this one, it's amazing). This side of his repertoire is not explored much, and it was a blessing. SO.. Ame no niwa had me in a chokehold for a while, because it's NOT just a plain 'sad song', look closer!!

// 4 :: (Fake)Flowers

FAKE FLOWERS IS A FCKING BANGER?!?! It makes me smile whenever I hear it. It was the song I was looking forward to the most when the album trailer came out! It brings energy to the album in a light, bouncing way, while showing us how dextrous Souma-san is with his high range as well (seriously, what the hell, he's so good at this). The song is so loopable (says me, who never loops their music, er, this means a lot) and so catchy. I hate when songs fade out, but this one gets a pardon. Job well done. iiiIII'M GONNA BRING YU FLOOWERS (sorr y)

// 3 :: Hiraeth

Okay erm, fun time over, time for the hard-hitting ones. Hiraeth is a delicate, passively powerful song that sums up the whole album. The nostalgia Souma-san (and his voice) can evoke with this one song is phenomenal. (I'm in the process of translating, and the lyrics are also wonderful, helping with this!) It is a joy to experience this song, but it's one of those tracks where if you were feeling the messy blend of emotion (as humans do feel most things) that it describes, you'd probably break down crying. And, like Souma-san's songs tend to do, the lyrics are very vague in terms of events, but very specific in terms of emotion. We can all relate, and connect, which makes this song beautiful.

// 2 :: Ventura

Ventura is.. perfectly crafted. It's more than perfect. Perfectly crafted, as in, the vocal choices Souma-san makes, every instrument in the backing track (which is not really 'backing', because everything blends so well), the LYRICS oh god the lyrics (ask for my translation!).. they all contribute to this song, and nothing is hindered; emotion is only held back, until it's released in Souma-san's heart-wrenching scream at the bridge. Who knew his voice could even do that?! At first, it seems out of place, but as you further understand the song (which is easy, because it's another that's painfully easy to connect to), it's, again, perfectly placed. Everything pent up, like so much in our brittle, human bodies, is let out. And it's terrifying. This song reminds me of what it feels like to cry. I can't describe it in words. Wow.

// 1 :: mm

I'm smiling as I write this, not just because I'm listening to the song (which I've been doing for every song while writing ab it, btw!), but because.. how could anything POSSIBLY be better than the last two songs I just poured my heart into writing about? And why mm?? It's so different!

Well, the song starts of as a simple love song, bordering into something more seductive, with Souma-san's voice being absolutely dazzling. The instrumental changes further, becoming only slightly more complex, making the song really catchy. It's so simply done, and yet the effect it creates is so large. The vocals in this song are the best in the album, because (unlike Ventura, which makes use of the song as one being) Souma-san clearly has the spotlight here. He traverses his range with immense skill (his high and low notes really are something) with a comfortable middle ground for the chorus, and sounds so. hot.

But the LYRICS. mm's lyrics are brilliantly written. I mentioned that this was a love song- actually, I didn't, because after the start, it gets darker fast. (PLEASE ask/read my TL.) The whole song is so deceptive, and exciting, and proves to be much more complex under the surface. Souma-san's songs can have many interpretations, but I'm assuming that what's being described in mm is nothing good. And it does it perfectly.

This whole song is perfect, and so difficult to sum up. (I hope you can see that by how much I've written.) And it can be enjoyed by basically everyone, but if you want to take the next step into Souma-san's music, you'll be greatly rewarded by how much you can get out of it. I'm devoted to this song; it was my favourite when the album first came out, and remains my favourite to this day. What a song mm is.

And we're done! It was so fun to write about some of my favourite songs in the world! I hope my rankings are not too outlandish, and that I've put the album to justice! Really, go and listen to Souma Saitou's music.. it's so easy to get into, and then for when one is ready, there is a whole other level of complexity to it. Ah.. but I'm ranking ALL the Fictions songs, yes? Then we're forgetting something....

// ?? :: Tegami

Every one of Souma-san's albums has a 'Secret Track', only available with the physical album. I believe this one is called Tegami, or Letter, a quiet-ish guitar song with drawled singing and bleak lyrics. My god, I love it. I haven't listened to this song much, because it's long (the obligatory long album song) and I don't have a CD player apart from in the car, but this would actually be perfect for a night drive. His voice is magical, enchanting, but not like mm's alluring quality. It's just.. sad. The lyrics are written like a letter, with a message to someone, or to the whole world: 'It doesn't matter if everyone's forgotten about the likes of me.'

I'm not ranking this one. Secret Tracks should be kind of treated differently, not compatible with the whole 'what makes a good song' formula. There was just a need to write about it. It's surreal. (I would say everyone should go listen, but I don't think it's ANYWHERE on the internet, at least not yet! Souma-san does have his other Secret Tracks on Spotify, though!)

Okkkk NOW we're done. If you've read this far, well done! Thank you for another amazing album, Souma-san!

使い方はとても簡単。スマホの近くにPLAUD NotePinを置いて、スマホにインストールした専用アプリ｢PLAUD - Recorder Transcribe｣を開いてペアリングすれば準備完了です。

20241021gizmoodo_IMG_33000

録音を開始するには、PLAUD NotePin本体の中央部分を押すだけ。物理ボタンはなくタッチ式となっており、ワンタッチで録音が開始されます。録音停止も同じ動作をすればOKです。すこし押し込むようにタッチしないと反応しないので、誤タッチによる不意な録音停止なども起こりにくいようになっています。

ploudnot4epin-01

録音後、スマホからアプリを開いて左上にある｢接続する｣をタップ。PLAUD NotePinを認識するので｢接続する｣をタップすると、録音したデータが同期されます。

ploudnot4epin-03

さて、ここからがPLAUD NotePinの本領発揮です。｢文字起こし｣を開いて｢生成｣をタップすると、要約テンプレートのメモ取りやその整頓といった選択画面が表示されます。テンプレートは、会議メモ、通話メモ、面接メモ、講義、ディスカッションなど、シーン別に複数用意されています。

録音したシチュエーションにマッチしたテンプレートを選んだら、｢今すぐ生成｣をタップすると、AIが文字起こし、要約、マインドマップの生成をしてくれます（なお、生成にはインターネット接続が必要です）。

20241025gizmodo_plaudnotepin_5605

今回はデモでミーティングをして使ってみたところ、文字起こしの精度はかなり高い印象。文字起こしにはOpenAIの音声認識AI｢Whisper｣を使用しています。専門用語の判別は間違っているところもありましたが、今後AIのアップデートによって、どんどん賢くなっていくでしょう。

また、話者認識機能があるのもうれしいポイント。これまでもインタビューや打ち合わせ、複数人が登壇するセミナー音源の文字起こしにAIを使ったことはありますが、精度云々よりも、誰がしゃべっているのかがわからないことがネックでした。誰の発言かを確認するために音声を全部チェックすることになるので、結局、時間短縮にならないんですよね…。

でも、PLAUD NotePinの話者認識は精度が高く、話者ごとに個別に名前を入力すれば、一括で変更してくれる神機能もあるので、ちょっと感動して涙が出そうになりました。

また、文字起こし内のテキスト部分をタップすると、該当部分の音声が再生されます。細かく再生時間を調整する必要もなく、聞き直したい場所を、すぐに再生できるのはかなり便利です。

20241022gizmodo_pn2r2

｢要約｣を開くと、選択したサマリーテンプレートに沿った要約が表示されます。これがよくできてるんですよ。内容がトピックごとに自動で分けられるので、ぱっと見て、どんな内容だったかが分かるようにまとめられています。議事録や長時間の講義、講演なんかにはピッタリです。

要約やマインドマップの作成は、ChatGPTの最新バージョン｢ChatGPT-4o｣とAnthropic AIの最新モデル｢Claude 3.5 Sonnet｣を選択可能。今回は｢ChatGPT-4o｣使用しましたが、要約の精度は会議の議事録ならそのまま提出してもOKなレベルだと思います。

20241022gizmodo_pn3r2

しかも、要約の最後にはAIから次のアクションの提案もあります。｢具体的な対策が未定だ｣とか｢詳細な計画が必要｣とか、もはや上司ですよ、あなたは。

IMG_5576

｢マインドマップ｣は、会話の内容を視覚的にわかりやすく表示してくれます。どんな話題が出てきたのかを視覚的に認識できるので、会議などの全体像を把握したいときに便利です。

文字起こしや要約は、テキストファイル、Wordファイル、PDF、マインドマップはJPEGなどで保存できます。

活躍の幅は想像以上に広い

｢でも、他にどんなときに役立つの？｣と思う方もいるかもしれません。これが、ありとあらゆるシーンで使えます。

僕のようなライター業なら、インタビューの文字起こしをしたり、取材で写真を撮りながら説明を聞いたりするときに大活躍します。

先日、大きな展示会の取材でPLAUD NotePinを使いました。展示会だと、いろいろなブースをまわって、担当の方に話を聞いたり、写真を撮ったりと、一人何役もこなす必要があります。そんなときでも、ブースの人と会話をするためにわざわざボイスレコーダーを取り出す必要がなく、首から提げたPLAUD NotePinを押すだけで録音がスタートするので、会話や写真撮影に集中することができました。

録音したデータは、スマホと同期して文字起こしをしておけば、あとで原稿を書くときに参考になりますし、音声データやテキストデータをPCなどに転送して保存しておくことも可能。Web版PLAUDアプリでも、PCから直接録音データや文字起こし、要約内容の確認ができます。取材が終わって原稿執筆するときには、文字起こしが終わっていて、PC側で見られるので、データ転送などの必要もなく、すぐに書き始めることができます。

今回多数の人が集まる展示会取材ということで、雑音が多く録音環境はよくありませんでしたが、2つの高忠実度マイクに、AI人声拡張技術を実装しているという説明どおり、しっかりと人の声を拾い、文字起こしをしてくれました。

ライター業以外にも、顧��の情報が多く、メモを取ることに忙殺されがちな不動産の営業や、数多くの患者の対応をしなければいけない医療現場の方の利用も推奨されています。

｢あの発言どこだ？｣を一瞬で解決

ボイスレコーダーを使っていると、｢あの会議の音声はどこだろう｣｢あの内容、何分くらいのところだっけ｣と振り返って確認したいことも出てきます。これが結構たいへんで、聞き直しながら探すのは、かなり時間がかかる作業です。

こんな悩みを解消してくれるのが｢Ask AI｣です。これは、録音データの中から、特定の会話、話題をAIとの対話形式で簡単に検索できる機能。｢この会議の結論を教えて｣｢売上高を確認したい｣などと入力すれば、AIが録音データから要約した内容を提示してくれます。

ploudnot4epin-04

わざわざ録音データを聞き直したり、文字起こしを最初からチェックしたりする必要もなく、必要な情報にすばやくアクセス。調べる時間を大幅に短縮できるのは、大きなメリットです。

AI以外の性能も充実

PLAUD NotePinはとても便利な新世代のボイスレコーダーなわけですが、細かい部分もしっかり配慮されています。

まず対応言語。日本語はもちろん、全59カ国語に対応しています。海外の方と仕事をする機会が多い方も安心して使えますね。とりあえず録音しておいて、あとでテキストを見返せるのは、外国語が得意でないひとにとっても、強い味方になりそうです。

20241021gizmoodo_IMG_32979

気になるバッテリーですが、フル充電では最大20時間の録音、最大40日間のスタンバイ時間があるので、普段からアクセサリーとして身に付けておいてもいいレベルですね。

そして、気になるランニングコスト。本体を購入したら毎月300分までのChatGPT-4oによる文字起こしと無制限の要約機能が永年無料でついてきます。もう一度言います、永年無料です。太っ腹すぎるじゃないですか。

｢文字起こしが300分無料じゃ足りないよ｣という方は、文字起こしの時間を購入することができます。120分で400円〜とリーズナブルです。

毎月20時間以上、文字起こしをさせる必要がある方は、有料のProプランもあります。こちらは、月額1,980円（年額1万2000円）で、文字起こし時間が1,200分/月となります。それだけではなく、要約のテンプレートが23種類使え、カスタムテンプレートを作ることも可能です。

ちなみに、セキュリティに関してもPLAUD NotePinはしっかり対応。オンラインに送信される情報は暗号化され、厳重に保護されており、学習には利用されません。ビジネスシーンで使うことも多いと思うので、この辺りがしっかりしているのは安心感がありますね。

将来的には全人類が持つことになりそうなボイスレコーダー

20241021gizmoodo_IMG_32864

今回PLAUD NotePinを使ってみて思ったのは、｢これは将来、みんなが普段使いするアイテムだ｣ということ。

記録する、思い出す、整理する。今までは、これらの作業を別々な道具を使って行なってきましたし、多くの時間を費やしてきました。しかし、PLAUD NotePinはすべてを1台で完結してくれます。

何か思いついたら、その場でPLAUD NotePinに話しかければ、あとはAIがすべてやってくれます。録音したものを聞き返してテキスト化したり、要約しながら情報をまとめたりする必要もありません。その分、ほんとうに必要なことに時間を使うことができれば、優先度が高い仕事に集中できますし、もっと自由な時間を作ることもできるでしょう。

今は、PLAUD NotePinの高機能さに驚いていますが、もしかしたら数年後は当たり前の存在になっていて、スマホのように誰もが普通に持ち歩くガジェットになっているのかも。いや、なっているはずです。

【予約販売期間中の限定特典】

・計6,500円相当のアクセサリ3点（ネックストラップ、リストバンド、クリップ)を無料進呈。予約販売終了後は追加オプションとして購入可能です。

・PLAUD公式LINEの友達登録で3,500円OFFの限定割引が獲得できます。友達追加用リンクはこちら。

In a 90s or early 2000s documentary with "The mummy detective", she showed that one face was certainly more black by the skull measurements, and stated this is common in ancient Egypt

In the bottom 4 pictures we see an old published photo of Thutmose the first, Hatshepsut's father, with hair ( Flinders Petrie 1896 and John Ward 1902), but is now completely bald. The old photo of the two men are probably East or Central African (?...both areas have a source to the Nile after the Blue and White Nile split off) ). The young guys in the top old photo are of Bayuda desert in Sudan compared to Thutmose II (son of Thutmose the first)

The White Nile is a river in Africa, one of the two main tributaries of the Nile, the other being the Blue Nile.  Could this stylized statue of Thutmose the first actually represent the black types of this area.

Possible Thutmose III type in Aswan, Egypt ...If he appeared "black".

Another "black" man from the same area... different appearance. Notice in these post, people from the area are used as comparisons for the most part, because if any were "black", the ones that live there now would obviously be the most immediate and direct descendants

The "blacks" in this region seemed to have inherited certain traits that one wouldn't commomly find on a West or central African. Similar scenarios are obvious in ancient times with the same admix between different "racial" types in the area. This is probably what we're seeing on some statues with narrow features

Now we have to wonder how may bald mummies once had hair after seeing Thutmose the first. Was it a systematic effort way back then to hide it. Thutmose the first had hair that looks wool, but is now bald, His son Thutmose the second hair remains, and is loosely curled or wavey. Thutmose the third is bald, Thutmose the fourth hair remains and is straight

You must watch at least half of this to understand the possible reason why mainstream historians wanted to blot out and totaly "eclipse" the memory of black involvement in ancient Egypt (not saying all, but blacks were a major component to the old population)

See the old French definition of Barbarin or Barabra people of North Sudan and Southeast Egypt. These are obsolete ethnographical terms assigned to people of North Sudan and Southeast Egypt. The term was abandoned and considered offensive today. There are very important details about these people that the old world knew - and modern academia chooses to forget. https://txt.fyi/-/22141/f6ac87db/

This is a video from circa 1978 - 1980. Walter Cronkite of CBS sails the Nile with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. They talk about certain topics, and at one point, the Egyptian President remarks about how Nubians literally love the land and the Nile. Skip immediately over to 28:55 to 32:07 for the Nubian comments (the entire vid is 40 plus minutes long).

For confirmation that tones in the video are present in ancient Egyptian art, Google image paintings of Djehutihotep ( painted stele, British Museum), Baqet III, Ankhtifi, Khety (BH17), governor Khentika (dynasty VI, reign of Pepi II, mastaba at Dakhla Oasis), Mentuhotep - "Son of It" Pushkin Museum, …

Similar to the 1897 footage, a 1978 episode of IN SEARCH OF, called "Pyramid Secrets" ( hosted by Nimoy), the two times throughout the whole episode we get a close-up of modern Egyptian people, " black" citizens show up in the frame of the brief clips. There's no way of knowing if this was a conscious or subconcious desicions, but the location was in Northern Egypt - where the black phenotypes are scant

Clean, clear and unadulterated images from the video "MOST BEAUTIFUL NON-ROYAL TOMBS! WESTERN THEBES (LUXOR) EGYPT", as she walks through... These are wonderful and unbias. There's no way you can see these and not ask yourself... are the people who lean more towards a black appearance in the Aswan -Elephantine area being represented in these ancient paintings. Excellent images of women in the reddish brown hue. Unfortunately, the wife of Menna is already lightened because the video is from 2022. There's an image of her from 1994 by a Scottish photographer, where she's much darker....same hue as Menna (video at bottom of compilation)
