Humans are terrible at remembering things. On this episode of The Vergecast, we talk to one of the people who has been working on this problem for a very long time: Dan Siroker, the CEO of Limitless. We talk about what it takes to build a great memory aid, how we might use them in the future, and why it\u2019s so tricky to get right.\nWe also talk about the human side of it all \u2014 what does it change about our lives when we stop forgetting things? Is remembering your friend\u2019s birthday different when it\u2019s actually an AI model doing the remembering? And will these tools ever really work outside of work? Tools like Limitless are coming fast and improving quickly, and we\u2019re going to have to figure out how to live with them.\nFurther reading:\n\nFrom The New York Times: Can\u2019t See Pictures in Your Mind?
