This is super cool!

As a marketing spin for this - consider packaging it into Nvidia NIM format and make it generate 3D graph as 3D OpenUSD scene. From where I'm standing this route has a lot of potential.

Also if you never looked into it there is a project called wikidata. There each object contains a unique ID and hierarchy, which helps build semantic web. Exploring their data using your interface might be effective. (please check similar projects though as an idea seems straightforward and someone might have already done that for them)

You're a legend mate I know nothing of what you say, but it is very interesting. It is time I brush up my skills and I thank you very much for the clues! I'll look it up.

Making a note to try this when it's not slashdotted (hackernewsed?).

This sort of thing is _very_ interesting to me, and I rather desperately want something like to this tied to listings of books.

I would like to read more diversely --- at one time I was trying to read one book from each LoC division, starting at the top/broadest (so A--Z), then iterating down, but this got to be exhausting because it was difficult to determine which book to read.

A later effort was to read biographies of famous people to my children in chronological order as they were growing up --- dry run was the very simple set of U.S. Presidents --- but again researching and ordering was a big problem.

So, my hopes for this are that it includes footnotes/references/links to supporting material (perhaps affiliate links on Amazon would be one way to fund things?) and that it is possible to click through to find information on specific technical topics as well as general explanations.

Thanks. I had tried that but the AI keeps inventing false books or providing fake URLs. When the AI will be proper I will include that feature, for sure!

A worrisome problem.

I take it that there isn't a strict factual/non-factual (fiction) toggle?

A message to everyone: Thank you for your interest and comments and mails and votes and feedbacks. I am sorry the service was interrupted & down & I had to makeshift with ugly donation links in a ugly sidebar for hours, ect (I got 5€ donation! not crazy but it was actually useful)...

Anyway I managed to get it back running, and running strong! Mail me if you have nice words to say or if you think we can do partnerships. I received nice proposals already, which should improve the service significantly in the coming days. The goal is to entertain and educate, and as free as we can! haha, modestly. Thank you again for everything!

This seems really cool and I'm excited to play around with it once it's up and running properly again. These type of things are my favorite applications of LLMs.

A while back I made something similar in the form of an incremental "clicker" game where you split things ad infinitum: https://lantto.github.io/hypersplit/

It is back and running, and running strong! Enjoy. Your game is nifty maybe it'll give me ideas. There could be an option to hold Ctrl to split branches vertically without branching down, ect... cool

Nice work. An AI populated mind map. I like it. Just missed a way to go from a node to more textual content if I want to know more than just a bullet list. E.g. an abstract-style paragraph, or even just a web search for the string.

Good idea mate I'll probably include a Amazon "search list" for books, and a video "search list" for Youtube, ect... Might be cool. If I try to provide direct links I get a lot of false results but I didn't think of adding web searches themselves.

(There was a feature to generate dissertations on whatever topic but I had to turn it off because I believe it was abused and that cost a lot of credits. I'll try to add it more securely very soon.)

Yah I want to actually read a blurb about the topic when I click on a node

Love this! Such an interesting UI choice. Would almost prefer new branches to appear further out to the right instead of overlapping existing words, and then auto-scroll me to the new spot to reduce clutter when browsing several tiers in.

The context sidebar is great! Maybe the first good "AI search engine" UX I've seen (most attempts copy Google look/feel which is more suited for web page results).

This is a very fun idea and I’ve had similar thoughts, without yet turning my mind to execution. Bravo. Is there somewhere I can follow more of your work in the future?

Hi cyrillite. Send me an email with "subbing" as object: pierre.treeofknowledge@gmail.com Then I will gladly send you what I got, whenever I get it. I will not forget. Thank you, friend!

I'll probably make a full blog soon for added convenience. (it'll be about AI products & production)

If you want a bite of some of my other work here is a AI game I made & which got totally ignored: https://lywald.itch.io/the-fall-of-mankind I tried to monetize it, that was a bit lame, but in the next few days I'll release it as free.

Hi I've been working on something similar but using podcasts as a starting point for concepts. I wonder if we might collaborate? Link in bio, anon!

I'll hit you up soon. I am very busy until 16 september

Well, since you said Kung fu, I started at martial arts and 5 clicks in it's telling me about the self defense applications of swinging from chandeliers. This is yet another pile of LLM word vomit.

> One innovative approach involves using ceiling fixtures to gain leverage and mobility. This concept can be particularly beneficial in scenarios where traditional movement options are restricted.

...

> Utilizing ceiling fixtures for movement in self-defense is an innovative method that capitalizes on environmental elements to enhance escape techniques. By integrating body mechanics with strategic use of surroundings, individuals can increase their chances of successfully evading threats in confined spaces. Always prioritize safety and practice these techniques to ensure readiness in critical situations.

I like this project but I don't think I agree on the 3 branches that I see when I open the website.

Science is not a standalone category. In fact science is directly connected to mathematics which is directly connected to philosophy (through logic for example)

We might argue that also art is an extension of philosophy (e.g. finding objective or subjective beauty).

Probably Claude doesn't agree with this definition.

I agree with you. Truth is this was the first branching generation which I generated, and so I kept it for the sake of history. If you manage to create a better "starting branching tree" which looks nice and feels nice then I might take you up on this.

I would think more in terms of a network myself, but it gets harder to visualise I imagine.

Looks nice. Tried to search for "Guitar" and I got a 500 Internal Server error.

I'm sorry guys but my API key is out of funds until tomorrow's or maybe tuesday's paycheck. I'm only a student and so my money is very limited. I'm sorry this is pathetic. I didn't expect to have so much trafic these last few days, and then with this thread. Come back soon!

What do you think that I implement BYOK (bring your own key), does that interest anyone so that it is never down for them but they have to pay Claude on the side? Is anyone interested?

Definitely implement BYOK - although people may be skeptical because it's not running locally

A side note - put on the site this exact message and then include your venmo or something - I bet you'll get donations :)

I've had this exact idea for quite some time, I'm glad that someone is making it!

Please do implement this, cool tool for branching knowledge, good name.

Thanks. I'll implement it in a few hours/days.

I switched from Claude to GPT Mini and it seems to cost less. Wait & see!

This is very nice I was nerd-snipped by it. Just kept drilling down and exploring adjacent trees in Java.

Thanks for making it authentication-free and free of charge.

Consider adding visuals on each node. Check out: https://explorer.globe.engineer/

Very cool website! Adding visuals dynamically is costly and complex, but I'll try harder.

What library are you using for the tree layout?

Nice work! Well done.

Congrats, pretty amazing work! Loved it!!

Thanks!

Very cool! Is the code open source?

Thanks, fastneutron! I might give you the code if you send me an email and you explain your intentions. No problem. For now, it is not full blown open source because I don't want the added headache of managing that (double checking security & quality... I have no time for this is a sideproject).
