Jan 19, 2024 - 5:51pmSummary: The realization has been made that the brain metaphorically operates similar to apps in managing data. Currently, this data may be stored in a file system or some other location. There is recognition that relying solely on file hashing is impractical for various reasons. This is an issue that requires further contemplation to find a more effective solution.

Transcript: I just realized that the brain needs to handle like quote-unquote apps and this will basically be how their data is stored and I guess that can be in the file system for now or wherever but more or less realizing that it's untenable to just have files being hashed probably for a variety of reasons something to think about a little bit more though
