What’s the easiest way to make a chatbot that I can feed 50 to 60 gigs of PDFs into and then have a grounded conversation about roughly 6000 medical papers? Where is the relatively inexpensive “throw gigs into a folder and get RAG” solution? #AI

The Vanishing Culture report arrives today at a critical moment: While @internetarchive recovers from a cyberattack, it’s a reminder of how fragile our access to knowledge can be. Preserving culture & history requires resilience—and collective action.
🔗 blog.archive.org/2024/10/30/…
ALT The image shows the cover of the Internet Archive's Vanishing Culture report. On the left, the words "Vanishing Culture" are prominently displayed in bold, dark font against a neutral background. To the right, a set of cultural artifacts including a VHS tape, an open book, a film reel, a vinyl record, and a web link icon appear to disintegrate into pixels, symbolizing the disappearance of analog and digital media. Below these icons is a pixelated computer hand cursor pointing to the word "SAVE," emphasizing the need for preservation. The Internet Archive's logo is placed in the bottom-right corner.

The scientific community must move beyond its comfort zone of writing papers and preaching to its own choirs. It must engage with the public and policymakers to turn knowledge into action. Will we have yet another opportunity? Let’s not wait to find out. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
