“What is my favorite movie? [My current personal vibe]” is very different than “What is my favorite movie? [Security question for my lost password]”
Even then, I don’t think this would work. At first, googling my brain would be an incredibly useful and efficient tool for recovering obscure and forgotten information. But eventually, it would get monetized. You’d start seeing ads show up in your memory feed (“We see you’ve remembered that you enjoy the movie ‘Titanic’, would you like to remember a trailer for any additional Leonardo DiCaprio films?”) The place with the really good eggrolls goes under, because not enough people remember it fondly, but it still keeps showing up in your memory-feed under “Recommendations for Lunch”. Your memories start getting mined for AI, which is both mentally taxing and fucking annoying when you’re forced to remember every single time you missed a homework question or argued with your parents. People start adding comments to your memories and you feel insecure if something you reminisce over doesn’t get enough Brain Karma. Somehow, memories start getting fed into your dating profile. And your credit score. Pretty soon you’re getting Remembers about every single fucking bill you have due. And then the Memory Spam starts showing up. Its all you can think about until you figure out how to turn on all the filters. Even then, you just start thinking about a funeral insurance service based in Saskatchewan that is offering Free Coverage if you sign up now, every couple days

use a better search engine, like SearXNG or Kagi. Add a pi.hole to your network. Set up a tailscale exit node on your home network to route all traffic through, so even when you’re on other people/company’s wifis they don’t get anything.

Fucking nightmare, if you ask me.
Just self host it. Brain is already selfhosted.
Also
This just sounds like ADHD+anxiety.

Stop getting advertised to.
(those are all in order of difficulty)
I’m not paying a subscription for my brain. Nice try.
