1/2 The End of Organizing by @danshipper. A great read about the future of our notes & AI.
Whether AI solves significant issues with long-term use of our notes is still to be seen, Dan makes good points about how our current approach can fail us. #TfT
2/4 This article outlines how AI models like GPT-3 can be used to simplify the process of organizing notes. These models can automatically tag and link notes, enrich notes as they're written, and synthesize them into research reports.
3/4 They can also be used to resurface key information from previous notes, creating an autocomplete experience that uses the entire note archive to help make the user smarter as they type.
4/4 This eliminates the need for manual organizing and allows users to access the information they have collected in the past without having to sort through it all.

1/3 So, I want to delete my @LastPass account, and they have a way to do that. But some users can't delete their accounts and get this message.
Helpful right? Error with no message.
2/3 So I emailed tech support, hoping they would fix it. I got back a survey that is so long & complicated. Also, this is mostly information already stolen by hackers after their big hack... not sure why I need to provide the info to them; they already have it (note the sarcasm)
3/3 The irony is that the community has many questions that LastPass hasn't answered that will help us to know the severity of the damage, information that should be disclosed.
1/12 My January deep dive into @logseq continues, & I am more impressed with it each day. In this report, I share some of those highlights, along with some concerns.
I have a personal preference for Outliners, and if you are the same, Logseq is worth trying.
2/12 The mobile outliner works well. Yesterday I was at a meeting for 1.5 hours, taking notes on my iPhone 13 mini. Not a great form factor, but to my surprise, it worked well. Better than Obsidian mobile.
I think outliners with blocks have an advantage on mobile for notetaking.
3/12 Logseq has many features baked into the product, so almost every day, I discover something new. I also have not needed many plugins. It is nice to be less dependent on 3rd party plugins.
Logseq is a mature product, perhaps just lacking polish. But it's a TfT workhorse.
A few issues I have with these tools:
+ Cost for family subscription over next 10 to 20 years is not cheap
+ What happened to Lastpass could happen to them
3/12 It is interesting in such a competitive space that prices don't come down. Also, what is happening to LastPass will serve as a motivator for these cloud-based security tools to be diligent.
As LastPass demonstrates, it takes just one developer to be hacked to create chaos.
Communities that rally around a product are an essential part of choosing a Tool for Thought. Tools for Thought are such significant investments on the part of users to master them that having a community to support them is crucial.
I am two weeks into my deep dive. There are many things I like and a few that I hope will improve. Let me give you an update.
Bottom line: If you prefer Outliners and want local first, Logseq is a solid choice.
2/13 Every day I learn something new while using Logseq & I feel I have barely brushed the surface.
The outliner is an excellently implemented standard "Outlining" tool (folding, zooming, expanding/collapsing).
Any outliner veteran will feel at home in Logseq.
3/13 Interaction - mouse/keyboard
In addition to solid mouse support (drag, drop, create block refs), it has excellent keyboard support. It seems anything you can do with the mouse can be done with the keyboard.
