But for most practical use cases we don't want the persistent memory. We already have opportunistic fact extraction like chatgpt profile building if we want that. We also have graph builders.

This mostly covers the private usage. Public version was attempted and just ends up like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_(chatbot)

If you like the metaphors (which this article seems to come close to), you can have a sort of "unconscious" and a "conscious" - where the "unconscious" may be somehow similar to Kant's "trascendental" (interpreted as the mind's Operating System before experience).

Well, if the bot becomes "opinionated", it's probably just immature - just like a human. You will tell it to ponder well texts like Adam Rutherford's How to Argue With a Racist...

But surely we want an Intelligence that forms its own opinions: we want to understand and manage reality, so we should hope that a super-Chomsky and a super-Ferguson will at some point converge and at some point put their "identity"-related positions into perspective.

Whereas (for clarity) everytime one thinks he learns something and hones some skill.

Were it so, anyway, it still does not seem like the process of "pondering" (that seems to be more like "absorbing information").
