Categorising My Daily Todo List with Deepseek-r1

I've made no particular secret of the fact that I am not a fan of large language models: they're overhyped, under deliver and were built off the back of a ripping off of others work at a scale that (for anyone else) would have resulted in jail and/or bankruptcy (even before the more incontrovertible acts of copyright infringement are considered).

But, I also work in a industry which is going through a phase of significant AI use (even if a lot of companies do come to regret being over-eager).

Every quarter, I spend a few hours categorizing my calendar from the past three months to figure out how I’ve invested my time. This is useful for me to reflect on the major projects I’ve done, and also to get a sense of my general allocation of time.

However, I needed a slightly different approach: although it plays a part, my calendar is not the main organiser of my day because I work from a daily todo list in Obsidian.
