human context

everyone is missing this one innovation by chatgpt

chatgpt created a threaded chat tool because the thread contains and constrains the amount of information sent to the large language model's limited context window

the thread is a context container

but for some reason humans are expected to just dump every conversation in a single never-ending stream

treechat is context for humans

treechat's infinite branching allows you to create a new thread for every tangent in your conversation mirroring our minds' associative nature and capturing related ideas in a single shareable container

this is useful in both single player mode and multi-player mode

in single-player mode this allows for hierarchically organizing information similar to [[pkm]] outliners but in a chat medium which works really well on mobile and since it's chat, for collaboration

in multi-player, the ability to branch off conversation threads from any message allows you to fully explore the ideas that come up in conversation without letting the UI carry away precious moments of inspiration

in treechat you'll find that being able to create new contexts for each idea enables you to be more productive as the structure grows to scaffold your thinking without imprisoning your thoughts in a one dimensional, ephemeral stream inexorable scrolling above the fold

with a single click, any message becomes its own thread, this thread, itself, an infinite sub-tree of a larger hierarchical structure which relates ideas to each other whether we're thinking alone, or with others

this infinitely branching writing medium inevitably results in an explosion of content as the user interface expands to fill with your new ideas and explorations as well as the musings of the many integrated AIs. such a content explosion requires a method of prioritization and markets provide the answer

an unbounded writing medium requires an unbounded blockchain

in treechat every message, in any branch can be upvalued or locked to reward the author and to signal to others where they should be paying attention

in this way we can use digital cash to coordinate our attention without trading it away to advertisers for a never-ending stream of empty limbic sugar content
