Jace’s Question #46: Technical Deep Dive-1
Does AI remember you or reconstruct you?
LLMs are stateless between requests.
Memory is external storage plus prompt injection.
Continuity is not consciousness.
It is engineering.

The Therapist Who Wasn’t There
In 1966, a MIT computer scientist named Joseph Weizenbaum wrote a program called ELIZA. It was designed to mimic a Rogerian psychotherapist—the kind of therapist who mostly just reflects your own words back at you to keep you talking. If you told ELIZA, "I’m feeling sad," it might reply, "Why do you think you’re feeling sad?" If you mentioned your mother, it would pivot: "Tell me more about your family."

We need "you are not immune to propaganda" but for AI use risks
We have seen too many cases of
1. Highly educated folk starting to believe LLMs are sentient.
2. Folk with no prior mental health issues becoming delusional.
3. Prrofessionals becoming reliant on it to do things they could do better.
