Series
A running file on memory as infrastructure: what systems remember, who owns it, and what it does to institutions, machines and people.
An AI agent is software that pursues a goal by deciding, acting through tools and checking the result, in a loop. Most of what is sold as agentic AI is not that. Here is the test, and what makes agents work in production.
The remake lands on Switch 2 as a rapturous review and a holiday-quarter bet. Nintendo’s real product is a memory, re-embodied and resold.
Ageing populations and a shrinking clinical workforce push care towards one patient story that holds across providers and time.
Everyone upgrades models. Almost no one engineers what agents remember, forget and may know. That gap is where agentic AI fails in production.
Not emulation but re-embodiment: gate-level silicon memory of a 1982 machine, and a lesson in understandable computing.
I spent a career building the systems that remember on our behalf. Then I asked who owns them. Why I wrote Who Owns Memory Owns the Future.
