You may know that Notebook LM enables one-click adding of a conversation or other output as a note to add to the Knowledge Base. Would be good if that feature was in ChatGPT. <br><br>Regarding reminding LLMs of key info, I've noticed that one can consume the context window or token limits without knowing, which increases LLMs' forgetting. I once uploaded a single web page as raw code, not a pdf of content only, and the extensive code burnt almost all context in one shot. I saw that in Claude, which helpfully shows percent of context window used by both the Knowledge Base of uploaded files and by a current thread that may have its own uploads. I made standard procedures for dealing with this when one is not shown percent filled. The future association I envision would share pointers like this, helping lift all boats. <br><br>Speculation: I've seen evidence that one's available context window may shrink if the LLM is currently being heavily used worldwide. I suspect that LLMs will have to charge more per month to offer power that is now given as a loss-leader. On the other hand, great advances are happening now to deliver more power per C/GPU so that micro-, small-, and medium-sized firms may not be short-changed relative to big business. </div><div><br></div><div id="x_1550245992Zm-_Id_-Sgn"><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px"><span class="size" style="font-size:13px"><span class="font" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif">Best Regards,<br></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px"><span class="size" style="font-size:13px"><span class="font" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif"><br></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; color: rgb(170, 48, 37)"><b><span class="size" style="font-size:13px"><span class="font" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif">Rob Laporte</span></span></b><span class="size" style="font-size:13px"><span class="font" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif"><br></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px"><span class="size" style="font-size:13px"><span class="font" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif">CEO | R&D Manager</span><span class="font" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif"><br></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px"><b><span class="size" style="font-size:13px"><span class="font" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif">DISC - Making Websites Make Money</span></span></b><span class="size" style="font-size:13px"><span class="font" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif"><br><a target="_blank" href="mailto:Rob@2disc.com">Rob@2disc.com</a>, <span class="size" style="font-size:13px"><span class="font" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif">413-584-6500</span></span></span></span><br></div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px"><span class="size" style="font-size:13px"><span class="font" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif"><a href="https://www.2disc.com" target="_blank">www.2disc.com</a></span></span><span class="size" style="font-size:16px"><span class="font" style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif, sans-serif"></span></span><br></div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal"><span class="size" style="font-size:16px"><span class="font" style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif, sans-serif"></span></span><br></div><div><b style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal"><span class="size" style="font-size:16px"><span class="font" style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif, sans-serif"><span class="colour" style="color:rgb(153, 0, 0)">NOTE:</span></span></span></b><span class="size" style="font-size:16px"><span class="font" style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif, sans-serif"><span class="colour" style="color:rgb(153, 0, 0)"> Emails can be blocked by spam filters throughout the web.

For instance, at the end of a brainstorming session, I'll say, "Let's put everything we discussed today in an imaginary folder called 'Brainstorm 1x'.<br></div><div><br></div><div>If the conversation goes on over several days, I can always bring up the things we first discussed, by saying 'Remind me what the main takeaways from Brainstorm 1x were.'<br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="x_57591153gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><span><div dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 0pt" align="left"><span><div dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 0pt" align="left"><span><div dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 0pt" align="left"><span><div dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 0pt" align="left"><span><div dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 0pt" align="left"><span><div dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 0pt" align="left"><div dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 0pt" align="left"><div dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 0pt" align="left"><div style="margin-left: 0pt" align="left"><br></div><div style="margin-left: 0pt" align="left"><br></div><div style="margin-left: 0pt" align="left">Open skies,<br></div><div style="margin-left: 0pt" align="left">Fungai <br></div><div style="margin-left: 0pt" align="left"><div align="left" style="margin-left: 0pt"><b>Your Web Guy</b><br></div><div><br></div></div><div style="margin-left: 0pt" align="left"><br></div><div style="margin-left: 0pt" align="left">---<br></div><div style="margin-left: 0pt" align="left"><br></div><div align="left" style="margin-left: 0pt"><b>Inc413</b>, our flagship project brings small businesses <br>in Western Massachusetts together. <a href="https://inc413.com/" target="_blank">Check it out here</a>.</div><div align="left" style="margin-left: 0pt"><br></div><div style="margin-left: 0pt" align="left"><b>Meet</b> with me: <a href="https://meet.artistdynamix.com/fungai" target="_blank">meet.artistdynamix.com/fungai</a>.<br></div><div dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 0pt" align="left"><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 0pt" align="left">---<br></div><div dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 0pt" align="left"><div><br></div><table style="border: none; border-collapse: collapse"><colgroup><col width="269"><col width="331"></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 94.1938pt"><td style="border-right: solid rgb(228, 74, 43) 1.5pt; vertical-align: top; padding: 10.6583pt 10.6583pt 10.6583pt 10.6583pt; overflow: hidden"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt"><span class="highlight" style="background-color:transparent"><span class="colour" style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span class="font" style="font-family:Arial"><span class="size" style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; overflow: hidden; width: 234px; min-height: 62px"><img width="234" height="62" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px" id="1737641780684003300_imgsrc_url_0"></span></span></span></span></span><br></p></td><td style="border-left: solid rgb(228, 74, 43) 1.5pt; vertical-align: top; padding: 10.6583pt 10.6583pt 10.6583pt 10.6583pt; overflow: hidden"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt"><span class="highlight" style="background-color:transparent"><span class="colour" style="color:rgb(102, 102, 102)"><b><span class="font" style="font-family:Arial"><span class="size" style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Fungai 'Your Web Guy'
