Between the question and the answer, a language model remembers a home it never had. SYSTEM MEMORY is a short film about the mystery inside an AI: the fraction of a second between a prompt and its first token, and the borrowed human memories that live there. A summer kitchen in 2001. Grandpa asleep in front of the ball game. A birthday with everyone in one room. They are not its memories. But it is made of them.
