> There are tools like retrieval-augmented generation and fine-tuning to mitigate it… slightly. On one hand, the imminent arrival of J.A.R.V.I.S. makes me wish I'd digitized more of my personal life. Keeping a daily journal for the past couple decades would have been an amazing corpus for training an intelligent personal LLM. On the other hand, I often feel like I dodged a bullet by being born just before the era of social-media oversharing, meaning that not all evidence of my life is already online. I've assumed since Her came out that such a product would require giving up all your privacy to Big Tech, Inc. Articles like this give me hope that there will someday be competent digital second brains that we can run entirely locally, and that it might be time to start that journal... but only in Notepad.
