How would that look like exactly? Looking for side projects that could change the world, and this looks like a good way to disrupt search.

If I could marry true copilot with google with maybe some sort of memory garden priority setting for things I come back to often (code, packages, docs, etc)....that'd be kinda nice...

gpt3(like ) + search could be interesting but extremely costly for compute, though might actually be a decent reason to build something on blockchain (all users add compute, get paid for the storage, and gpu usage, one big botnet just to handle search).

Just thinking aloud about how one would presumably pull this off.

Ideally a mind/brain search interface would be nice someday, but the privacy concerns is cringy, but maybe something like alexa that listens while I talk to myself and looks at what I'm typing and gleans from that what I might need in terms of looking up stuff when I'm stuck on a coding problem, or if I were writing a novel, or some other creative endeavor.

Or imagine an ai that continually just monitors the screen, and when I'm having trouble w/ a tool like learning Unity3d or some graphics tool, it can glean from the screen I'm on what help I need and suggest things...

I really wish we did have new cool search tools like these in 2021... maybe by 2030 we will.



> How would that look like exactly?

You pay for the search product but you're able to do a ton of cool things that Google will likely never be incentivized to do. Basically turn the open web into a platform that works for you:

- Setup highly custom alerts when a webpage changes content (e.g. ___ is now on sale)

- Broaden search to include things like my contacts, docs, Wikipedia, etc. Ideally this is all done in a small little local index

- Automatic visualization of the content graph (e.g. who reported on __ first and who is just regurgitating primary sources?)
