Mark Moss argues that AI has moved beyond prompt engineering to using rich personal context. He describes his "second brain" system that feeds Slack, Notion, and Zoom transcripts into any LLM, letting it understand who you are and what you work on.
Forget the prompt. Prompts are done. The new phase is like, how do I give the AI enough context? AI was all about prompt engineering, and the problem is the context. Hey Nolan, should I sell my business? Like, you have no context to answer that question within. And so now when you create the second brain, so like the GBrain is the one I'm running, and it is like the biggest unlock. I've been running for a couple weeks now. All my Slack messages, my Notion, all my Zoom transcripts, everything goes in there. It has context of everything. And then I can use any LLM I want. It doesn't use that for the context. The context is in my brain. What you're able to get out of these things is just mind-blowing to where it was even just a few months ago. It's like a light year. I mean, it's insane. Faster than most people can anticipate.
