Most AI early adopters own their context.

Very few of the hard-core users use the hosted ChatGPT or Claude.ai.

Everyone who's getting the most leverage uses coding agents, and those run primarily on their own machines because that's where it's easiest to configure.

That means, as a happy accident, that most of the heaviest adopters of AI own their own memories, and don't have them trapped inside of someone else's cloud.

Even a year ago, that was not what the default future looked like.

On behalf of humanity, I'm very glad!
