1. Andrej Karpathy (OpenAI/Tesla)
- Method: ArXiv Sanity & First-Principles Implementation.
- PKM Style: He doesn’t just “take notes” on a paper; he re-implements the algorithm from scratch (e.g., microGPT).
- The Lesson: Your PKM should be a “Laboratory” where you store your own minimal versions of complex code.
2. Stephen Wolfram (Wolfram Alpha)
- Method: Computable Knowledge (The Lifelogger).
- PKM Style: He has recorded every email, keystroke, and meeting for 30+ years. He uses his own language (Wolfram Language) to make his notes “computable” so he can run queries against his own life.
- The Lesson: Treat your notes as data that can be analyzed by AI, not just static text.
3. Jeremy Howard (fast.ai)
- Method: Top-Down Learning & Literate Programming.
- PKM Style: He uses nbdev (Jupyter Notebooks) as his PKM. His code, his documentation, and his blog posts all live in the same functional file.
- The Lesson: Don’t separate “Notes about Code” from “The Code.” Keep them in the same environment.
4. Chris Olah (Anthropic/Distill)
- Method: Visual Semantic Mapping.
- PKM Style: He is famous for Explorable Explanations. He synthesizes AI knowledge into visual diagrams that explain the “internal weights” of a model.
- The Lesson: One diagram (or CSS visualization) is worth 1,000 markdown files.
5. Sam Altman (OpenAI CEO)
- Method: The Minimalist “List” & High-Leverage Capture.
- PKM Style: He uses very simple lists (often in a physical notebook or simple digital text file) to track high-leverage priorities. He focuses on “The CODE” method (Capture, Organize, Distill, Express) but skips the “Organize” part to focus on “Express.”
- The Lesson: Don’t over-organize. Capture the thought, then move straight to building.
