Regarding https://www.shloked.com/writing/chatgpt-memory-bitter-lesson I am very confused if the author thinks the ChatGPT is injecting those prompts when the memory is not enabled. If your memory is not enabled, its pretty clear at least in my instance, there is no metadata of recent conversations or personal preferences injected. The conversation stays stand-alone for that conversation only. If he was turning memory on and off for the experiment, maybe something got confused, or maybe I just didn't read the article properly?

I still have a 1541 C-64 disk drive with modified hardware that let it copy anything back in the day. Ordered it mail order, just open up the drive and plug it in. I got boxes of 'backup' games, I wonder how many floppies could be salvagible after 30 years? 1541 copy protection was so bad, the knocking would knock the drives out of alignment occasionally, and you'd have to mail them out to get repaired.

The Plough used to be my neighborhood haunt. I knew Richard, he was a decent friendly guy, I liked him. Its strange to learn about his passing on this website.
