Unbundling memory
We’re seeing the progressive unbundling of human agency in memory creation, and I think it’s happening in clear phases.
The first phase started a very long time ago. Cameras, voice recorders, and digital notebooks were primitive tools for documentation. Sure, each of these tools were enhanced by technology. We chose what to capture and the tools ju... See more

For now, the richness of “processed” data (eg. diary entries) created by humans is more valuable than “raw” data (eg. always-on video feed). Data created by humans is full of nuance in style, theme, etc. The signal derived from this kind of data provides higher-quality context for an AI system to build a personalized profile against. I’d argue this... See more

The difference between ”AI for work“ and “Your AI at work” will come down to access control.
It’s too risky for companies to allow external intelligence to have imprecise and/or non-revocable access to sensitive company data (passwords, keys, etc). To deal with this, I expect the leading AI companies will coordinate and create a “portable memory” st... See more
