Scobleizer · x · 2026-10-27
In the latest Unaligned newsletter, Robert Scoble and Irena Cronin argue that an AI that remembers you may be the hardest to leave: the more a model knows your habits, preferences, work, and history, the higher the switching cost even against technically better rivals — memory is becoming one of the strongest forms of tech lock-in. Recent issues also cover AI scaling vs. the grid, AI-watching-AI, and advertising to AIs.
