## What Jamie wrote

Interesting analysis of how ChatGPT's memory system works, along with prompts that you can type in to know what ChatGPT has in memory for you. I found it super interesting to see what details it had stowed away. Some it got very right, others were an odd question or two that I asked that it now thinks I’m way more into than I actually am. Of course ChatGPT knows I’m big into POAPs though. 🤓
