I find the long-term memory concepts with regards to AI curiously dubious.
On first glance, of course it's something we want. It's how we do it, after all! Learning on the job is what enables us to do our jobs and so many other things.
On the other hand humans are frustratingly stuck in their ways and not all that happy to change and that is something that societies or orgs fight a lot. Do I want to convince my coding agent to learn new behavior, conflicting with existing memory?
It's not at all obvious to me in how far memory is a bug or a feature. Does somebody have a clear case on why this is something that we should want and why it's not a problem?
