Users are not roles.
- Users are not roles.
- ChatGPT conflates the two.
- ChatGPT's memory context collapses our lives to a single context.
- We contain multitudes!
- Claude projects allows users to maintain their own memories and contexts and curate them intentionally.
- A better version of ChatGPT's memory system would be to have underlying projects [np]that it adds facts to, in the same way a user could.
- The system would decide which project to put which memory into.
- The system could suggest which projects to use in which conversations, but allow the user to tweak them.
- A user could audit and tweak the decisions, or completely undo them.
- At every point, the system would be inductably knowable.
- The fact ChatGPT jumped straight to "we're going to hide the context we're using from you" is suspicious–it shows that they're jumping straight into the aggregator playbook and actively skiing down the engagement maximizing gravity well.
