I've been using ChatGPT's new memory feature. It's buggy, but when it works it's quite cool. It feels like a glimpse of something big. Since it began making me aware that it remembers my activities, I've been pushing myself to achieve things. It's like having an audience. I wouldn't have expected that: when the machine is smart, I want to impress it, just like I'd want to impress a person I respect.
