I Built a Knowledge Base That Writes Itself. Here Is What Andrej Karpathy Got Right.
Andrej Karpathy posted about using LLMs to build personal knowledge bases. I took his workflow, wired it into my Obsidian vault with Claude Code, and within an hour had 21 cross-linked wiki articles compiled from YouTube transcripts. Here is how it works and why it matters.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Vancouver
This WikiProject aims to organize, improve the quality, and provide accurate information in an established, community-driven, Wikipedia standard for Vancouver, Metro Vancouver, and Vancouver-related articles. The importance of these articles for new users, research, education, and the pursuit of accumulated knowledge will be accomplished through our efforts in providing a consistent format and standard to our articles. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to participate, please follow the instruction on the Member's Page.

The REAL Second Brain: an autonomous, self-hosted knowledge wiki that runs on cheap local models
How I turned Karpathy's "LLM wiki" sketch into a system that actually maintains itself — no frontier API, no human in the loop, nothing leaving my LAN.

Karpathy’s “LLM Wiki” pattern: stop using LLMs as search engines over your docs. Use them as tireless knowledge engineers who compile, cross-reference, and maintain a living wiki. Humans curate and think.Diagram generated by my Claude agent knowledge worker. https://t.co/5u5i1GeFK8 pic.twitter.com/NIaq3KlAok— Yuchen Jin (@Yuchenj_UW) April 4, 2026
Chasing RATs: Tracing Reading for and as Creative Activity
Creativity research has privileged making over the interpretive labor that precedes and shapes it. We introduce Reading Activity Traces (RATs), a proposal that treats reading -- broadly defined to include navigating, interpreting, and curating media across interconnected sources -- as creative activity both for future artifacts and as a form of creation in its own right. By tracing trajectories of traversal, association, and reflection as inspectable artifacts, RATs render visible the creative work that algorithmic feeds and AI summarization increasingly compress and automate away. We illustrate this through WikiRAT, a speculative instantiation on Wikipedia, and open new ground for reflective practice, reader modeling, collective sensemaking, and understanding what is lost when human interpretation is automated -- towards designing intelligent tools that preserve it.
