“Sometimes you have the whole data spectrum — all of the data to do with your collaborations and your coffees and your projects and your dreams. And the books you’re reading and ... all of your life, then that is in your pod. You run AI on that. That could be sweet,” Berners-Lee said.

  Why would it be sweet?

    Because it could allow us to realize dreams of creating a computer agent, always ambiently helping out on our behalf. The hard part of that, of course, is digitizing one's life.

    In my case, I'm 65, my memory is failing and it be nice to have a repository of important memories to consult.

      A personal assistant seems like a logical use, just needs to be offline and some good security so nobody can read your data.

      Have you heard about the Zettelkasten method? It's pretty much what you're describing.

        No, I haven't. There's a few interesting theories floating around but I hadn't heard that one: https://zettelkasten.de/posts/overview/ https://zettelkasten.de/posts/overview/ I now know I have to structure my notes for AI, but in the meantime I've got a many links saved for when I start designing it, such as: How to Make a Complete Map of Every Thought https://users.speakeasy.net/~lion/nb/book.pdf https://users.speakeasy.net/~lion/nb/book.pdf Gains I'm seeing from my second brain tool https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30151963 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30151963 Memory Palace and The Art of Memory https://forum.artofmemory.com/ https://forum.artofmemory.com/

    i could think of a few cool reasons: sorting out minor technical details on BOM for electronics projects asking for a bunch of iterations of custom furniture for a studio space *getting a bunch of recipe ideas - that spin off recipe books you own. i could go on :)

this is true but for companies instead of people, and it'll be worth 100B+ in 10 years

Why stop at just one? You could have little tea parties with them.

I wouldn’t mind having a Jarvis with subminds to help him manage my life.

Engelbart’s dream. A computer, that stores all the knowledge of your company, and of humanity. Always tells you what you need to know exactly when you need to know it. Helps you resolve apparent conflicts in your data. And basically makes sure there’s no human has to waste his time or energy on finding the solution to a problem that has already been solved by someone else before, anywhere on Earth.
