I've long wanted something like this kind of always-on logging but I fear that the social element is the hardest to crack. Besides having a record of the substantial amount I reason out loud to myself, it'd be valuable to be able to really remember everything I'm present for in that level of detail, but I'd feel awkward if the recording device was obvious, I would feel subversive if it were hidden, and people may not like it very much to have someone in their life who has notes on every interaction to refer to.

- llbbdd 9mo agoNah, and Black Mirror illustrates why. I guess I just want intrinsic perfect recall, but maybe the method, technological or biological, isn't the problem at that point, just the social friction of not forgetting.
- stonogo 9mo agoIn several US states, this would be outright illegal. While they're aimed at electronic communications, most two-party consent states require explicit consent from those present, and in some, the "but there was an obvious recording device" exception is restricted to journalists.
- llbbdd 9mo agoYeah that too. Mostly I want perfect recall of the things I want to remember, but constraints like this introduce so much overhead into managing when it's turned on that it obviates the usefulness the rest of the time.
- dehugger 9mo agoI am similarly interested, but mostly because my memory is awful and I'd like to actually remember what people tell me without having to ask repeatedly.
