Instead of complex modern algorithms, a new AI memory system (MemPalace*) was built using the ancient Greek "Method of Loci." It proves a Talebian point: 2,000 years ago, people actually knew how to think. Today, we live in an era of information gluttony—publishing 600,000 books a year with barely a memorable thought, while the handful of texts written in antiquity are quoted eternally. We know how to publish; they knew how to think.

upd: sir @rohithzr (https://karpathytalk.com/user/rohithzr) examined this repo using BEAM 100K benchmark and results are not so satisfying) https://github.com/milla-jovovich/mempalace/issues/125
