Memex Revisited [pdf]

While reading about memexs, there is a side trail into the stuff of AI dreams. Bush describes a system (page 9) that can continue to work and investigate and set up links that the master can then come back to and join into the main trail of thought.

I imagine this is already an area of research but the more I look back the more it looks like we're creating stuff that was already thought of.

I would love to know what Vannevar Bush would have written about the memex now in the age of llms.
