## Summary

A writer says a 43-year-old movie memory suddenly linked to an AI-safety question, arguing AI memory must recognize relationships nobody tagged in advance. The post cites Mirendil's Fern 0.1, which has a 10 million token context window, but reports it scores 51 percent on multi-fact questions at that length. The author estimates his roughly 10,000-document, 3 GB archive contains hundreds of millions of tokens.

A movie I watched 43 years ago suddenly helped me understand an AI problem. No search, no keywords, no plan. My brain found the connection. Can we build AI memory that does the same across millions of documents?  @grok @elonmusk @anthropicai @claudeai https://x.com/i/article/2120696271618895873
