Comments welcome!
Had a great conversation with Jackie Snow about chatbots’ memory function and the way their personalised callbacks to information and stories you have shared about yourself can calcify your own self-narratives and self-understanding (which I’ve elsewhere described as narrative railroading) 🤖✒️🛤️
Reminder to hit me up if you're a recent PhD and are interested in applying!

This is a super interesting short paper!
Not for the formal results, which I confess I don't really understand. But for the meta-science.
It discusses how the same model can be implemented differently in code. So there's a need for independent coding, even when the researchers agree on the model.
