Your brain is for holding ideas, not for having them
Notes systems are nice for storing ideas but they tend to get clogged up with stuff you don’t need, and you might never see the stuff you do need again. Wouldn’t it be better if
ideas got automatically downweighted in visibility over time according to their importance, as judged by an AGI who is intimately familiar with every aspect of your life
ideas got automatically served up to you at relevant moments as judged by that AGI.
Your brain is that notes system. On the other hand, writing notes is a great way to come up with new ideas.
Notes systems are nice for storing ideas but they tend to get clogged up with stuff you don’t need, and you might never see the stuff you do need again.
Some one said that most people who complain about their note taking or personal knowledge management systems don’t really need a new method of recording and indexing ideas, but a better decision making model. Thoughts?
Particularly since coming up with new ideas is the easy part. To incorrectly quote Alice in Wonderland: you can think of six impossible things before breakfast. There’s even a word for someone who is all ideas and no execution: the ideas man. But for every good idea there’s at least 9 bad ideas (per sturgeon’s law).
But—what might the model that AGI uses to downright visibility and serve up ideas look like? Since only a small portion of ideas will be useful at all, and that means a ridiculously small number are useful at any time.
writing notes is a great way to come up with new ideas.
Is it a great way to come up with good ideas though?

What I was meaning to get at is that your brain is an AGI that does this for you automatically.
Mine doesn’t, or does so very VERY poorly.
