this might be one of the most f*cking useful things I’ve read about AI agents all week
someone built memory into 4 different agent systems and found most of it is complete bullshit
the real problem isn’t agents forgetting things
it’s that they remember things they shouldn’t trust
and once one bad assumption enters the memory, every agent after it can treat it as fact
