"It's not like we have all the context of everything we ever learned present when making decisions." We don't, no. But wouldn't it be great if we did? I'd sure love to be able to hold the entirety of the code of my organisations monolith in my head at once. It would make everything so much easier. It would definitely also cut down on the bugs I write! Similar if I could recall all of my organisations confluence pages. Id probably be a lot better at my job. Same with all the slack history. All the hr documents, press releases, meeting transcripts. Theres practically no end to useful context even just in text form, and even if much of it is not relevant to any one task, having all of it in working memory would be fantastic, if only it were possible. I could probably make incredible cross organisational efficiencies and probably be far wealthier if I were some savant that could hold all of this in my head at once. I get that we have agent harnesses to try and fetch only the relevant information. But most of the problems result in either failures in this process, or previous things falling out of context. I very rarely see failures where the agent forgets stuff already in context. The harnesses are making up for this exact limitation!
