I enjoyed Limitless (2011) starring Bradley Cooper for many reasons.

His grasp of information and ability to create opportunities with it (while fending off risks) captivated me - and whenever I rewatch it reminds me of the importance of keeping valuable information in my head.

Unfortunately for me, the fields I have chosen to love move very quickly.

Hundreds of pages of AI papers are published to arXiv.org each day — 154 unique papers were published on May 31, 2024 alone.

Reading all of these isn’t possible, and even when you follow X accounts who summarize the top papers or you use aggregator websites, you’re lucky to see 1% of what’s being developed and explored.

This is where AI comes to the rescue.
