If you use it enough, the whole "build a pipeline to transform streams" thing makes sense.
Probably the most sane way to do it, besides requiring an explicit pipe symbol too.

I assume someone made a UI that uses nushell/powershell object pipes for that, and implemented maybe 30% of its functions.

People say, "AI is funny because you ask it to write an email and the person on the other end asks their AI to read it." This week I asked Claude to make me a 90 minute video presentation and then showed my team how to ask Claude to transcribe to text, extract screenshots and compile a md summary.

finally! 😂 after years of fighting with command line flags and syntax, we've achieved peak efficiency through pure chaos. can't wait to see the first "ffmpeg --make-it-pretty" command! :3
