IMO the main issue with personalization + LLMs is intentionality. The memory system designers so far have treated this like a data problem: data mine all the chats and you will surface useful memories. But you call out the exact issue with this data mining approach: just

I built a quality standard encoding Tufte's data visualization principles as an API, pointed @ManusAI at a dataset, and told it to keep improving until it passed.
Here's the full session.

Last week, I shared a before/after of an AI agent passing the Tufte Test. Here's what the full progression looks like, one principle at a time.

This is why decomposing "make it better" into discrete criteria matters. Each frame applies one specific dataviz principle: remove 3D… pic.twitter.com/CQMn9WQjvNLast week, I shared a before/after of an AI agent passing the Tufte Test.
