An example of useful knowledge work: I assigned GPT-6 to read through tens of thousands of my emails, my writings, my calendar appointments and more to assemble a personal knowledge base of research, contacts, ideas, relationships, and tasks over my recent career. GPT-6 downloaded the appropriate software, figured out a strategy, and built a multi-gigabyte personal wiki without any further intervention from me over the course of five days of uninterrupted work. Twice a day, the AI now goes through my emails, cross-references them with this extensive knowledge base, and sends me a summary of things I should be paying attention to, things I might be interested in, etc. (Two questions you may have: Yes, I gave the AI access to my computer and this involves risks, and you should be careful before you do the same. And I do not take money from any AI lab and pay for my own usage, but during the trial period, I was not charged for tokens, so I cannot tell you how much this process would have cost, but it likely would have been very substantial. The ongoing briefings do not use substantial amounts of token)
