> Imagine never forgetting anything

You mean imagine forgetting everything because you don't need to remember anything since that is done by your personal agent - until the battery is dead, the model crashes, your neurocannula gets clogged, an EMP takes out your memory module or an update accidentally wipes your life.

Dear Mr. Poisonborz,

During a routine update of your MegaMind Ti666GX module a mishap occurred which wiped the module and its cloud backup clean. Since you did not purchase the optional MindCare insurance and there does not seem to be a recent off-line backup we are sad to inform you that your life's experiences have been lost for good. To make up for this inconvenience we can offer you a 1 year free MyStorey subscription which will help you fill in the blanks using our state of the art Experiencer technology - just tell it what you want to remember and it will create the memory for you.

You assume this has to be some convoluted black box, a proprietary service on some corporate servers, but people are not stupid, not after what happened in the last decade - look how even leading LLMs become local-first and offline already. The stored data should also remain simple - images, text files, video.
