I genuinely don't understand why everyone isn't using this yet.
Andrej Karpathy, a co-founder of OpenAI, posted a simple idea that hit 16 million views: stop using AI to write code, use it to build a second brain.
You point Claude or Kimi at a folder, drop in any source — an article, a transcript, a PDF — and it reads it, links it, and files it into a living wiki of everything you know. It compounds like interest. the more you feed it, the smarter it gets.
here's the whole thing:
> install Obsidian, create a vault, open it in Claude Code
> paste Karpathy's wiki idea and tell it to build the system
> it makes three folders: raw for sources, wiki for its pages, a CLAUDE.md that runs it
> drop any source into raw and say "ingest this"
> ask questions across everything you've ever added, forever
Claude for deep reasoning. Kimi for reading dozens of files at once with 256K context at a fraction of the cost.
five minutes to set up, and you never start from a blank chat again.
