Karpathy shared his current obsession: using LLMs to build personal knowledge wikis. The workflow is satisfyingly simple: dump raw research (papers, articles, repos) into a folder, let an LLM compile it into interconnected Markdown files with summaries and backlinks, and browse it all in Obsidian.

Cursor 3 brings clarity to the work that agents produce, pulling users up to a higher level of abstraction. It is faster, cleaner, and more powerful.
