Question-Asking Approach

Andrej Karpathy’s recent thread on managing knowledge has sparked significant interest in how to effectively utilize tools like Obsidian and AI for knowledge management. However, the essence of his message is often overlooked.

Key Points:

• Shift from organizing everything yourself to asking questions.
• Leverage AI to read sources, build connections, write articles, etc.
• Utilize tools not just as workflows but as a new relationship with knowledge.

Integrating New Information

• Andrej Karpathy’s thread was misinterpreted by many as solely about the technical setup of Obsidian and related scripts. (See 2026 04 12 Heres what it actually does how to build it yourself)
• The core message is to approach knowledge management from a perspective where questions drive the process, with AI handling the bulk of information synthesis and organization.
