I don’t have anything useful to say in response to this just now, but it made me smile. Thoughts?

I suggest looking at this announcement from Google today - https://x.com/Google/status/2011473056921706852 Add another point for Google in the AI Race. 2026 looks like the year of OpenAI's decline unless they do something big soon... If you frequently use Google's products (Gmail, Drive, YouTube, Search, etc.) this will make ChatGPT's memory advantage obsolete.

I don't have access to this yet, but reading a bit about it it reminded me of what @Ryan Doser mentioned about what Google already knows about you and its whole eco system. This is from the article I read "What makes this moment notable is scale. Google already sits on decades of user context across communication, media, location, and intent. Folding that context into a single reasoning layer turns Gemini from a chatbot into something closer to a memory-aware collaborator. The Financial Times notes that this is where competitive pressure is pushing the entire industry: smarter systems will come less from clever prompts and more from long-term context, persistent memory, and tighter integration into daily workflows. Sundar Pichai has framed this shift as moving “from information to intelligence,” and it shows. The upside is practical and immediate. Planning trips becomes faster when past travel is remembered. Writing improves when the system understands tone from emails. Decisions get easier when AI can connect signals across work and life. This isn’t just about convenience. It hints at a future where cognitive load drops, focus increases, and human creativity is spent on judgment rather than recall. Careers will increasingly reward people who can think clearly alongside systems that remember everything." And here we are only 15 days into January!
