Why is it so hard to flow from one thing to another on the web?

In our minds, we flow so easily from one motion to the next, one feeling to the next, one idea to the next.

Why can’t it be like this when we’re on the web?

Why can’t we flow as easily through our collective mind?

Well, with Open Web Mind, we can.

Far from killing Google, AI slots seamlessly into their business model.

As long as we still go to Google when we want to know something, and as long as Google tells us what we want to know at least as well as OpenAI, and as long as we don’t care that Google’s balancing what we want to know with what people with influence and people with money want us to know, then it doesn’t matter how Google arrives at a particular response to a particular search, whether it’s through a three-decade-old PageRank algorithm or through the latest in AI.

AI won’t kill Google.

But what if something else came along that didn’t have to perform that tightrope walk between what we want to know and what Google wants us to know?

What if that something else weren’t a search engine?

It’s at the dawn of something completely different – completelyunexpected – that the mighty fall.

Open Web Mind captures a core characteristic of mind, that some connections between ideas are stronger than others, by ranking these connections.

So how does Open Web Mind decide these rankings?

This question of how to rank edges in Open Web Mind will take us to the even deeper question of how we make connections in our minds.
