PHYSIX OBSERVATION
Apple is pushing Siri from a question-and-answer tool toward a long-term memory assistant, and the combination of a memory graph plus Private Cloud Compute is meant to balance personalization with privacy. But the code is not finished, and how users can view or delete memories has not been disclosed; data control will be the key to whether this system is accepted.
