Basement Whatever

With LLMs, we can ask our documents questions. Reading will change:

A static wall of text demands effort for diminishing insight. But a PDF piped into an LLM?…I can chat with it. Extract patterns. Mine underdiscussed takeaways. Highlight blind spots. Summarize arguments. It’s like outsourcing the heavy intellectual lifting (Subjective).

We moved from the oral tradition, to the written word, to the PDF and then the blog and social media. Now we’re giving a voice to the documents we read, like spirits inhabiting books.

Documentation will exist less as content and more as contextual proxies—something to interrogate, not ingest. We’re not building static libraries. We’re building living conversations.
