Oh, For F\*ck’s Sake. Another One.

Right, listen up. Some 19-year-old kid – *nineteen*, seriously? – named Kevin Chen has apparently convinced a bunch of Google execs to throw money at his “AI memory” startup, Supermemory. Apparently, Large Language Models (LLMs) forget things faster than my ex-wife forgets promises. Shocking, I know.

Chen’s bright idea? Build a better cache for these bloated digital parrots. He’s claiming it can make LLMs remember stuff longer and run faster. Groundbreaking. It uses some fancy “semantic search” tech to pull relevant info from long-term storage. Like, duh. People have been talking about this for *years*.

They’ve raised $25 million in seed funding. Twenty-five MILLION. For something that’s basically a glorified lookup table. I swear, venture capitalists are just chucking cash at anything with “AI” slapped on it these days. It’s all hype and no substance.

The article drones on about how Chen dropped out of Stanford (because obviously) and has some impressive advisors. Great. Another wunderkind who thinks he’s solved the world’s problems before finishing puberty. They are aiming for enterprise customers, because apparently making these models useful to *actual* people is too hard.

Honestly? I give it six months before they’re pivoting to something equally ridiculous or getting swallowed up by a bigger player. Don’t hold your breath.

Speaking of memory, I once had to debug a system where the entire database was stored on floppy disks. Floppy DISKS! The kid thinks he’s got problems with LLM context windows? Try swapping 300 floppies every hour. Now *that* was a memory problem. Get off my lawn.
