A 30-minute text file fixes AI memory lock-in when switching models

Alex Verem points out that ChatGPT and Claude keep memories of your job, projects, and writing preferences on their own servers — you can't move them, so every model switch resets you to zero.
His fix: one local text file. Write what you do, what you're working on this month, and how you like answers; ask ChatGPT to "list everything you know about me" and paste in the result. Drop it at the start of any new chat and ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or a local open-source model knows you from message one. Takes about 30 minutes.
