    Here’s the thing. You are all trillion of your features, but you are mostly an informative subset of maybe a million. You drop a verse of shakespeare from your memory and you’d essentially be the same person.

    Your memories don’t encode every single thing that has happened to you, they encode blurry snapshots of fast-decaying events and flatten them over time depending on importance, filling in the blanks with other parts of your mind (made with other blurry decaying events).

    If you thought AI was bad at hallucinating events, be glad you cannot ask your brain direct questions
