I guess I will expand on what I meant why I react to claude memory acting mechanically or logically anything like human memory, is because it isn’t how memory in the brain works, they’re not comparable. The layman’s understanding I have of

Just a heads up - this person in gp comment, their original post in a way that is much much different than the one I was replying to originally both in tone and content.

I just don’t find it really relevant to the argument presented I guess. I disable auto memory and have my own mechanisms and infrastructure with how my agentic system “knows” and “remembers” things which is roughly an automated, sometimes s

Even claude with “memory” enabled isn’t really “remembering” anything. It just injects it into the context and you hope it happens to find it relevant in its attention mechanisms, and then remembers to actually act on it. Anthropic’s own do

I don't think anyone in this conversation is saying this behavior is anything but the fault of the user not understanding how these tools work? This is a weirdly aggressive post.

Because plenty of people, even ones that should know better, really believe it's a conscious, thinking entity, not just some turn of phrase. I have a coworker that spends at least 10 hours a week arguing with his like you would with a

this is so easy to work around though. it’s a file name. it doesnt even care about symlinks. if you want this badly it is so easy to do yourself, It’s the weirdest thing to complain about as someone who uses a multi provider system locally

paying other people to optimize their life so they don’t have to bother themselves with cooking for their children, yes, I fully believe that, and I believe that’s why this current world is so fucked, so we are not in disagreement at all, i

A use case provided in this very article is "plans daughter's recipes and orders the ingredients." The whole act of doing that without automating it is what makes it meaningful. What a miserable mindset.

You can tell the people pioneering this are utterly miserable and soulless. "Let's build something to automate all the parts of your life that are actually your life." What person that was even mildly satisfied with living th

This is why this hype is so annoying - they have to make claims and goals like this to justify the current level of investment. It couldn't be like "ok, we have this cool tool that can sorta code and do computer stuff and automa

Confidently guessing, and building an entirely new set of assumptions based on a confident guess is the single source of the most frustration I experience using these. "Intelligence" does not look like that, and all the prompt hac

I’m sorry if I am being uncharitable, but are you saying the solution to depression is that people’s friends groups (which the depressed person may not have access to to begin with) is to just like, bully them out of it? lol? Tell me you’ve
