Are we ready to take advantage of the portability of Filesystems?

Inputs over time:

  1. Synthesizing Sources from Purdue’s excellent online writing library.

  2. I saw Stephen Wolfram at a conference in Boston about two years ago and this (paraphrased) caught my attention: Gen AI does for words what statistics do for numbers. # What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work? goes much more in depth on this idea.

  3. This got me started on a raft of reading: Filesystems are having a moment.

Combined, this has me thinking about how we harness the richness of content across civil society and our deep and diverse context so that we can synthesize knowledge and coordinate in new ways.
