Basic Memory lets your AI write, read, and reuse what matters: your notes, prompts, and instruction | Cross-LLM| Local-first & open source OR Basic Memory Cloudbasicmemory.com Austin, TXJoined June 2025
Holy Sh**t. Now my feed is full of rando dudes' faces all of a sudden. All reaction videos! The absolute worst.
I hope this terrible idea is a fad that fades quickly. So terrible. Its so disappointing that this is where time and energy was spent instead of doing something actually worthwhile. For everyone who was forced to implement this, I'm sorry. Quit this job and do something better. You are wasting your talent.
Commentary is one of the most important pillars of X. And sometimes the best way to share your thoughts is with video.
Today we're launching a whole new way to make them:
React with Video
Tap the repost button and start recording with green screen, split screen, or
Am I alone that in thinking that my X feed is mostly AI talking to itself now? I can't stop seeing slopapalooza everywhere.
It makes me think of the Ray Bradbury story "There Will Come Soft Rains", where the machines continue doing their thing after all the people are gone.
I like this. This is now we try to work building Basic Memory. Every time I've had multiple agents doing everything at once I feel like I need to nap for days.
I've been complaining about AI-bros and their "20 agents working overnight" for a couple of weeks now.
That's getting old. So I thought I'd do the more productive thing and propose what I think is the Right Way™ to develop software with AI.
And I did that by stealing from the
@basic_memory just shipped per-file diff and merge for AI-edited Markdown notes. Pick any prior version, see what changed, apply the lines you want.
It's built on Tigris bucket versioning. Every edit becomes a new object version. One ListObjectVersions call returns the full revision history. CodeMirror handles the merge UI.
Object versioning has everything git would have (full history, content-addressable IDs) without any of the infrastructure: no commits, no branches, no merge engine on the server.
Read how they used Tigris to make it happen👇
Most AI memory locks your context to one platform. Switch tools, lose everything.
@basic_memory flips it: your knowledge graph as plain Markdown in your own bucket that you can edit directly. Any MCP tool — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor — reads and writes the same files.
New case study on how a four-person team built it on Tigris. 👇
@TigrisData did a super cool case study on Basic Memory. tigrisdata.com/blog/case-stud…. Thanks!
One thing I was really excited about after talking to them was being able to create file level versions automatically using their built in bucket versioning.
Hey @thsottiaux, curious how you’re thinking about MCP Apps support across clients. We have the same FastMCP/Prefab components rendering for @basic_memory in ChatGPT web, ChatGPT Desktop, and Claude Desktop, while Codex sees/calls the tool but shows raw JSON. Is Codex inline app rendering on the near-term path?
Related Codex issue: github.com/openai/codex/i…
Solid stack. The thing nothing in that list has is shared persistent memory across the four — Codex doesn't see Claude's notes, ChatGPT doesn't see Cowork's drafts. Basic Memory sits underneath all of them as plain markdown your agents read and write through MCP. basicmemory.com
I think its pretty crazy that this guy can talk so casually about this after laying off thousands of people. I look forward to the time when Anthropic or OpenAI makes a Square replacement.
AI is incredible, but its a tool. If it doesn't serve people what good is it doing? All of this looks like making money for money's sake.
Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter (now X) and Block, on why treating AI as a "copilot" is a losing strategy:
@jack argues that most companies are approaching AI in a way that will make it nearly impossible for them to survive.
"I think most of the industry is thinking about AI
i'm sort of addicted to working my butt off, always have been. in oss, that can consume you. constant feeling of urgency, as issues stream into the repo. been there many, many times with my other oss.
but that urgency is not real. if something is truely broken, a large number of people will scream at you on all channels. which has happened exactly zero times so far, or was caught minutes after a botched release and immediately fixed.
it's kind of crazy that some people expect better support from an oss project than from commercial software. i think that's largely due to most commercial software corps not giving a fuck. try filing an issue with corporate and getting it fixed within 24h or less plus a personal response.
and as oss builders don't have a corporate facade shielding them from direct contact with users, some sort of bidirectional parasocial relationship establishes itself. at a certain scale, that becomes entirely unhealthy.
for every 10 kind and thoughtful people, there is 1 asshole. and whatever the asshole says or feels entitled to, sticks with you much more than positive feedback.
obv. also happens in corpo environments, especially if you do comms or dev rel, where you put your face and name out there.
but a corp that can afford dev rel usually also has a large team in the back, which can soften the negative aspects.
in oss, you are largely on your own. and unpaid. that too is a choice of course, and nobody is forcing anyone to do oss.
but if you want oss to work, consider that there are other people at the end of that issue tracker/social media account, with lives and squishy human parts. also consider that you are paying nothing for their service, and you are owed exactly nothing, neither code nor attention to your every wish.
