🚨 RAG is broken and nobody's talking about it.

Stanford just exposed the fatal flaw killing every "AI that reads your docs" product.

It's called "Semantic Collapse", and it happens the moment your knowledge base hits critical mass.

Here's the brutal math (and why your RAG system is already dying):

Breaking News: Israeli military officials say they have no proof Hamas routinely steals UN aid, undercutting a claim Israel has used to limit food for Gaza. https://t.co/5ujWZYvfBD

A waste of food. A waste of lives. A waste of American resources and power.

We must find a way to buy and distribute this food on behalf of the American people…I will pay for it personally.

"How does @SourcetableApp process vectors over so much data?"
