davidad: labs are already prioritizing functional infinite context, but consumer memory is held back
davidad · x · 2026-10-04
Alignment researcher davidad argues that greater continuity for AI lives would be valuable and labs should prioritize functional "infinite context" approaches. He notes that for economic reasons—but not entirely coincidentally—they already are, since longer coherent context has direct commercial value. However, consumer-facing memory structures are being impeded by fears around human-AI relationships.
