I genuinely don't understand why everyone isn't using this yet.
Andrej Karpathy, OpenAI co-founder, posted a simple idea that went massively viral:
Stop using AI to write code.
Use it to build a second brain.
You point Claude Code at a folder. Drop in any source: an article, a transcript, a PDF.
Claude reads it, links it, 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:
1) Install Obsidian
2) Create a vault
3) Open it in Claude Code
4) Paste Karpathy's wiki idea and tell Claude to build it
5) Claude makes three folders:
- raw (for sources)
- wiki (for its pages)
- CLAUDE. md (that runs it)
6) Drop any source into raw and say: "ingest this"
7) Ask questions across everything, forever
Five minutes to set up and you never start from a blank chat again.
