50k ft — Why care?

@angus.sewell argues that most people are still running local memory stacks and that custom cloud-based LLM 'brains' are about to become a big category. Directional take, no specific tool.

People are mostly running a very local stack for memory - I think creating really solid custom cloud based memories or “brains” for LLMs is about to explode in demand (well it currently already is kinda) #ai #startup #aitools #secondbrain nmcnew   12w Damn we are discovering data lakes from first principles
Transcript excerpt
Y'all know the weirdest thing companies are ripping out their MCP servers and then replacing it with a $20 database go and look this up Everybody wants to connect their data and software and shit to claw idea of creating a second brain for your company Sounds really cool. Go and set up a system that looks like this They will whip up a couple clawed connector to claw to prompt like this Then it will call like 14 different tools to figure out the answer Then it will usually fuck up a little bit then most companies will give up there trying to create a second brain Wait, there are certain companies that have figured this This is the creative approach. I'm seeing people take this is the prompt that they're using to do They will sign up for a database like this set up some workflows That'll just sink all their data to this database the tables in this database would probably look something like that Then they'll set up a bunch of tools kind of like this What used to take like seven tool calls is now just one single tool It'll get all of the activity from all of these things at once if you're gonna create a second brain for your company Or somebody else's do something like this. That's why I gave you this prompt, bro Just give this a rip around. Yeah, people are still kind of figuring out what and what doesn't work It's what I'm spending all my time on at least. Oh, you will be kept updated
