> as the LLM progressed through my project, learning more and more about it… This means that it needs to start over, learning the project. I am in the process of exporting from the previous account, but I’m not sure how well this will transfer the accumulated knowledge

LLMs don’t learn though. Are you talking about some sort of architecture.md file collection being built? This files should be just easy to copy?



Oh, no. The LLM definitely learns my project. It learns my coding and documentation style, and remembers files. Sometimes, that's a pain, as it remembers old versions of files, and disregards newer ones.

That's actually a real advantage. Right now, I am getting it to compile a tutorial for the app. Since it's starting from scratch, I can't rely on it remembering much, so I have to "start from the beginning," and give it a lot of information that the other account already had.


What tool are you using?

I know Claude will maintain its own memory files in ~/.claude, unbidden.

The actual LLM under the hood is static, though - it was trained once and will not self-modify.


ChatGPT, as a chat interface. I just switched from Plus to Pro. There may be a file, but I haven't seen it, and I know that the export process is non-trivial (it said it would "take several days").


Ah, got it.

IIRC ChatGPT does use "memory" systems to maintain familiarity with a given chat's subject.

I believe that's an important ingredient for creating AI psychosis - human and AI become slowly more unhinged together in a feedback loop until it finally spirals out of control.


I actually got repulsed by it, and now I’m avoiding ChatGPT. I can’t easily explain why.


Could definitely see that happening
