I can transfer my contacts to a new phone in minutes.
I can send money between banks in seconds.
Even my playlists and photo libraries can be backed up and moved anywhere.
But there's one thing I've spent hundreds of hours building that I still can't take with me.
My AI context.
How I work.
The projects I'm working on.
How I prefer to receive feedback.
Everything an AI has learned about me through hundreds of conversations.
All of it stays locked inside individual platforms.
Switching to a different model means starting from scratch.
We call this "AI with no memory."
The more I think about it, the more it feels like a form of user lock-in.
Users create the context.
Context creates value.
The value stays with the platform.
When a company decides what an AI remembers, what it forgets, and how that data is used, memory stops being a feature.
It becomes a question of ownership.
That's why I've been paying attention to @OpenGradient
If AI infrastructure is built in a decentralized way, users' digital memory can exist independently of any single model.
Where you take it is your choice.
What you keep is your decision.
What you delete is up to you.
We've become used to owning our data.
Maybe it's time to own our context too.
