Really nice implementation! And it's so cool to be able to do this offline. The embeddings aren't quite there yet. One trick that might be helpful is to embed only the defining (usually the first) sentence or paragraph of the Wi

I wish he'd go into more detail on point 1 than he has so far. It's never been clear to me how AI gets us to the utopia he envisions. Looking around, the biggest problems seem to be people problems at the core, not technology pro

How do you suggest website owners do that? By becoming aware, after the fact, that they can add OpenAI to their robots.txt file, and hoping for the best in the next model update? By adding a paywall? By not publishing at all?

It's even totally reasonable not to tie your self-worth to anything related to growth or learning or improvement or whatever. Plenty of people feel high self-worth by simply loving the people around them.
