There are no benevolent dictators.

We shape our tools, and our tools shape us. And that holds for governance of our tools too. Set it up with a “benevolent dictator for life”, and sooner or later, you will find yourself in a dictatorship.

Using AI in Obsidian

I have been using Perplexity for a while now. It became my AI tool of choice because it provides good links to sources. However, it was difficult to combine it with working on my notes in Obsidian. I had to bring my notes to the AI, and then bring the answers back to my notes. But no more!
