Later today... The Disturbing Science of AI "Memory Debt" We’ve been sold a seductive myth: that AI is the ultimate "second brain." For the better part of three years, we have treated AI LLMs, and their growing legion of autonomous companions as digital external hard drives.

‘Part of the family’ is just a nice way of saying ‘temporarily convenient.’ You’re a line item, not a relative... act like it. Your job is not your family, it's a transaction. They'll drop you the second you cost more than you're worth, so treat the paycheck as the only thing that matters.
