"If we accept that not all meanings can be captured in language, we must also accept that the foundation of our understanding is built on more than words alone. There is a realm of meaning that lies beyond the narrative, rooted in direct experience and subjective awareness.

Back in the Halcyon days of last year when Custom GPTs took off like bits of virtual confetti ... I just wanted to scan my notebooks, and with some special instructions to get me the output ten images at a time, and copy into a document as easy as click and paste. temnoon.com/gpts/

I’m working out the functionality in the cli first. I have always wanted a notebook that I can talk with. Hundreds of the 1300ish conversations are old notebooks of mine transcribed by my custom GPT. This project is the first time I’ve made it to effortlessly handling vectors, so I’m boggling.
