You are confusing faculty with records. The ability to navigate by sense of direction. The ability to memorize numbers. The ability to think clearly by yourself.

Watcha gonna do if big tech takes away your access to the outsourced brain, dear?

Build one myself and make a ton of money. Or wait for the next guy/company to do it.

> I don't want to have to store a bunch of location or routing data in my head.

hmmm, given how closely memory is linked to spatial navigation sense, and not just in humans, but in evolutionary terms-- think squirrels remembering where they buried nuts, birds and fish remembering migration routes, ...

suggests the ability to store location/routing is foundational to much of intelligence.

Even simple tasks, typing, for example, depends on my knowing where the keys are. Imagine if your keyboard re-organized its keymap randomly every third keystroke.

I thought that it was discovered that squirrels don't remember where nuts were stored. They just kinda guess and enough of them doing storing and then some make it work on average.

> I'd rather use that brain power for other problems.

Except you won't have the underpinnings to even properly think about other problems. Your brain will be mush.

> I don't want to have to store a bunch of location or routing data in my head.

This is preposterous.

You are not storing these things in your head at the expense of anything else. You’re “training” the existing underutilized capacity in your brain for something useful.
