Transcript: So to kind of summarize all of the things that I've been talking about in some kind of, I guess, I was using them in concrete kind of questions and applications that I could see. I kind of want to step back and what are the the overall overarching things maybe. And I think the first thing is a secure second brain. What exactly what that means, I am not sure. But I believe in all of those words in some way. I believe that it is important that this is not just open fully to the public. I don't want my brain just leaking everywhere. There are parts of my brain that I am super happy to leak. In fact, I'm probably happier than most people to leak a lot of it. Leak is not really the right word either. It's really share. But there's also a bunch of things that I don't necessarily want to share. I'm not comfortable sharing it. So that's, that's one piece. And I think in that the thing is, is having modules and basically having it have some level of composability in and of itself. So people can build these higher order modules, figuring out what those abstractions are. And I think through musering Tanaki and Pascal throwing out tons of ideas, we get a sense of what it may be like to build those abstractions. So we don't have to build specific implementations every time, but we have a generic implementation that can be used for many, many things. That I think is valuable. And if those abstractions can be provided to more people, I think people will pay for that. The second piece is kind of the piece in some way that we're starting to move into slowly, which is brain introspection tools is this brain is nice, but without any way to look at it in a variety of ways, you don't really get a sense of how to interact with it. And it probably will become natural at some point, but the first iterations may look like a website, a dashboard, what is salient to you? This is very generic and broad and is probably incorrect. But I'm just throwing it out there as we will probably want that this as researchers to be able to introspect and poke at it. And then, as a person, I also want it for some of the questions that I've begun to ask, even for Dr. Lingenberry, I would be curious, who are the people that Dr. Lingen knows about? That's that question itself is completely related to, like my life as well. What does it know about my friends? That is, that is super fucking relevant. So anyhow, yes. And then the last little piece is the interoperability that I talked about is it should be able to talk to other people's brains. And in fact, create group brains and all of this kind of thing, creating protocols to do that. I mean, exactly how this is implemented, I am not sure. I think that there should be open source offerings where you can choose to run this yourself. And there also maybe is a hosted option where you don't want to run it because that's a fucking pain. But I also think that it's worth maybe eventually building hardware that makes it really easy to run yourself. And right now that might not be feasible. But in five years, the silicon is going to be available where it will be very easy to do that. Or I believe that the silicon will be there. I could be wrong, but I follow the industry quite closely.
The personal AI becomes an application platform, allowing users to ask it to plan activities and perform additional tasks such as feature and metadata extraction. Through understanding the user's preferences and reaching out to the internet for relevant information, the AI can propose personalized weekly plans and communicate between other users' AI systems. This approach provides a customizable and beneficial tool for personal growth, making tasks more efficient and offering the potential for improved connections between individuals.
