Memex

memex is the historical ancestor invoked in Brevvie Python + AI — Section 13: Build Your Own LLM Wiki (Karpathy / Obsidian). The lesson references Vannevar Bush’s 1945 vision of a personal knowledge store with associative trails between documents.

Why it appears here

The source argues that the LLM wiki is a practical modern realization of that dream because the LLM finally makes maintenance cheap enough to sustain.
