> the very idea of giving the user an on/off switch for LLM level memory is ours. Absurd. You may have independently thought it up, but it is the first and most obvious feature one could imagine if memory is an option.
The creative originality of giving an LLM memory is next to zero, is such an obvious next step it’s absurdly laughable that these people are claiming the idea was “theirs” and then extrapolating that it was stolen. I stopped reading at that sentence.
Not only does it show a mindblowing lack of situational awareness on their behalf, but it also shows a huge lack of domain knowledge because people have been experimenting with all forms of additional memory to ALL different AI systems since the 60s. “Add memory to this” (working memory, long term memory, episodic memory) is such a well known thing to do in the entire AI / ML field, it also shows just how disconnected the poster is from existing research.
