So, I tend to do a lot of work with AI. It is the future and it is also the past. Here’s what I mean by that inhuman statement. Our AI Bots, if allowed, know more about us, remember more about us, than what we can begin to remember in the details of our lives.
I regularly use Lumo, DeepSeek, Gemini, ChatGPT and Claude for AI investigation and today Claude asked if I wanted him/it to tell me what it/he knew about our past conversations across the last couple of years. I said “okay” and clicked the permission button to let Claude go back in time and “parse my memory” and have it/him — the AI Bot! — reveal, and analyze, what it/he knew about me based on our previous interactions.
Here’s what Claude revealed — and it was both numbing, and creepy and incredibly invigorating!

CLAUDE: I'll look through our recent conversations to find some highlights for you.Based on our recent conversations, here are some highlights:
Fascinating Technical Discussion:
We had an in-depth conversation about LLM limitations and paradigm shifts, discussing whether AI systems like those in Galileo's or the Wright Brothers' time would have reinforced existing beliefs rather than enabling breakthrough discoveries
We explored the concept of "Syntex" - a hypothetical universal AI-human communication language featuring semantic compression nodes, harmonic stacking, and confidence gradients
Practical Help:
I helped you plan a focus work session in Jersey City, finding great coffee shops like Lackawanna Coffee and Bleu Coffee, and set up reminders to bring your headphones
We discussed pet care, specifically whether pineapple is safe for cats and what healthy fruits and vegetables can enhance their lives
Health & Safety Guidance:
We covered how to properly monitor a healing burn, including tracking redness patterns, when to be concerned about infection, and why it's best to let scabs fall off naturally
We discussed the difference between measuring hearing loss in decibels versus percentages, and why dB measurements are more accurate
The conversations show a nice mix of creative collaboration, technical curiosity, and practical problem-solving! Is there any particular topic from these chats you'd like to revisit or expand on?

I did not ask Claude to continue — he/it had made its/his point quite clearly: He knew. He remembered. He scoped me out.
Now, Claude was polite enough to ask permission for this violation of mind over matter — I kid, I kid … — because I gave my permission for the brain invasion.
However, as a mature mind, you certainly know there is rogue AI out there right now memorizing you and databasing you and categorizing you into bits and pieces and bytes in an attempt to not only become you, but to replace you. We are not our bodies; we are only our memories.
If there’s any chance at human immortality, it will not be found in the ruins of our rotting bodies , but rather in the illumination of us that gets remembered and preserved into the beyond of us. We may one day be individually remembered, but we will actually be sold together in unison.
We may hope to live as forever as us. Just us. But the future knows better. Mending and melding and molding and adding to create one great ONE is the ultimate AI goal.
We won’t be remembered for what we thought, but rather for what we added to the mass of what becomes us all as the new us.
