What applications do you think this opens up? One of the first ones I can think of is pairing it up with Browser extensions to increase productivity of knowledge workers. Think of sales people quickly assessing the viability of leads, or si

What I found interesting was the fifth section that describes the strategies to improve RAG performance. Basically: 1. Quality control. What documents to include? 2. Timing. When to query? 3. Pre & post processing. Improve LLM outputs b

Yes. The distribution of information is indeed a complex problem, as graph theory shows us. Regarding science is about one standard deviation further than software development in complexity. It's not necessarily a trade off. On the con

Conclusion: > The problem of excess genius is one of the most important questions I can imagine, but very little progress has been made. It surprises me that essentially no scholarly effort has been directed towards it. I warmly solicit

Congratulations on the launch. The website looks great, and the product seems well thought. But I do wonder, what is the plan to achieve VC type returns. The market seems fairly small, and not particularly growing. I would think this is a g
