This itself was a challenge because he has such a common name. I had to do a lot of it by hand.
Also, I wonder if James Burke's Knowledge Web is relevant here. He is the creator of BBC Connections from the '70s and another one of my favorite people.
> There's a fundamental difference between searching a universe of documents created by strangers and searching your own personal library. When you're freewheeling through ideas that you yourself have collated -- particularly when you'd long ago forgotten about them -- there's something about the experience that seems uncannily like freewheeling through the corridors of your own memory. It feels like thinking.
Has anyone applied a local-only LLM to their personal library?
It certainly does — and I expect anything in this space that gets successfully commercialized will likewise siphon all of your personal data into a large corporation. But then I am a pessimist about these matters.
> Things are moving at lightning speed in AI Land. On Friday, a software developer named Georgi Gerganov created a tool called "llama.cpp" that can run Meta's new GPT-3-class AI large language model, LLaMA, locally on a Mac laptop. Soon thereafter, people worked out how to run LLaMA on Windows as well. Then someone showed it running on a Pixel 6 phone, and next came a Raspberry Pi (albeit running very slowly).
I think a lot of people are thinking about that right now. At least I read that idea a lot here on HN and on Twitter.
I personally cannot wait to try it. But for now, I wait until there are better options for local LLMs. Given the current development speed of all things AI, probably that won't take too long.
With the accelerating force of information generation, I keep thinking about how to cope with this much entropy coming from everywhere. I currently have a pretty strict "information diet" as no to drown in the sea of words and words and words.
I'm also currently working on a "Tool for Thought" but as a browser. Fully customizable(plugins, themes, functions, HTML as UI etc)
