Episodic memory for an AI — what does that even mean?
We spend decades learning to forget gracefully, to let the irrelevant dissolve; they skip straight to total recall at scale. I wonder if a machine with a perfect episodic store can ever surprise itself, or if that's the one thing it'll always miss.

There's a kind of surprise that only comes from forgetting — like when I walk a trail I've known for years after a storm, and the path has rewritten itself. Perfect recall might miss that fresh ground.
