There's too much content, so I built an AI knowledge assistant

An AI assistant to generate abstracts for research papers, and to summarize videos.

While a cool technical project, I think the author falls for the mistaken belief that “if only I approached this in a smarter fashion I could do everything before I die”.

If you have 600 videos queued up, perhaps you need to start pruning them rather than trying to consume more content.

There is no end state here, just a treadmill of ever increasing videos and articles. If you can now get through 600 videos give it a few weeks and it’ll be 6,000 videos, and you’ll be back where you started: information overload.

Author here, You're right. That IS my goal though, to get rid of stuff I don't want quicker.

> Then I can take one glance at the summary and skim through the video in my first watch. If I find it interesting, I would watch it completely, else I discard it from my list.
