Hello! I've just found out about Lesswrong and I immediately feel at home. I feel this is what I was looking for in medium.com and I never found there; a website to learn about things, about improving oneself and about thinking better. Medium proved to be very useful at reading about how people made 5 figures using AI to write articles for them, but not so useful at providing genuinely valuable information.

One thing I usually say about myself is that I have "learning" as a hobby. I have only very recently given a name to things and now I know that it's ADHD I can thank for my endless consumption of information about seemingly unrelated topics. I try (good thing PKMs exist!) to give shape to my thoughts and form them into something cohesive, but this tends to be a struggle. 

If anyone has ideas on how to "review" what already sits in your mind to create new connections between ideas and strengthen thoughts, they'd be more than welcome. 

Recently I've been thinking about context-augmented LLM tools such as NotebookLM, where you can upload a number of sources to essentially create a "working memory". I feel this, combined with some clever system prompting, could make the basis for many great tools that are tailored to the user - a way to poke into our own brain and knowledge. As an ADHD individual I constantly feel that I have "millions" of thoughts all at once, creating a lot of noise. I would like an assistant to parse my own brain.

On some easier, more mundane applications for this, I feel this technology would be particularly well suited to language learning, through spaced repetition techniques or similar methods. I might give this a try with Perplexity.
