SurrealDB 4 and @SurrealDB Earth are out today. When we started SurrealDB, I wanted one database that could hold every shape of data and query it all together. Now every agent, user and app can have a database of its own.

Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI): "You no longer need to write prompts." In just 38 minutes, he explains how to use ChatGPT at a level that most people can't even imagine. It's a talk he gave to Stanford students. A friend sent me the recording last night. After watching it, I realized I was only taking advantage of about 15% of what this tool can really do. Watch it in full and then follow me for more such insightful content

Storing facts in a vector database is the easy part. Register here for tomorrow's live session: sdb.li/4g0OMaF The real engineering challenge is accuracy: when data changes, does the agent's memory update, or does it confidently hallucinate outdated facts? I'm breaking down the four pillars of agent memory that actually hold up in production.
Sure, your agent remembers a fact - but how confident are you in its accuracy? Join @tobiemh as he walks through the four pillars that have to hold: recall, correction, provenance, and graph. Register now. 👉 sdb.li/4g0OMaF

Schema mismatches in agent write-back show up as confident nonsense. Catching them before the DB is how you keep memory trustworthy. If you use TypeScript/JavaScript check out SurrealGuard!
Built by community member Drew Ridley, SurrealGuard adds static analysis and type inference to SurrealQL, catching schema mismatches before they hit SurrealDB, with typed results in Rust and TypeScript. Check out the GitHub repo. 👉 github.com/DrewRidley/surrea…

heavenbanning, the hypothetical practice of banishing a user from a platform by causing everyone that they speak with to be replaced by AI models that constantly agree and praise them, but only from their own perspective, is entirely feasible with the current state of AI/LLMs
