@atax1a I fucking hate this timeline. I'm going to lose/am losing friends over AI.
I generally have to keep my mouth shut b/c my opinions border on "mean", "personal attacks", "hard to defend", and yes, "selfish". But I just had an epiphany: using AI feels like a personal attack against things I personally care about that most people don't. It's frustrating to watch.

@atax1a I probably underestimated how much my peers were tolerating the things I find important versus actually understanding _why_ I might find them important.

@cr1901 yeah, that played a factor in one of our earlier friendship breakdowns: we concluded that we weren't actually friends, they just tolerated us because we shared a hobby that they'd introduced us to.

@atax1a (Hard learned lesson for me: Having the same hobby/interests is actually quite a bad metric as to whether you're gonna get along with someone/become friends.)

@cr1901 they were friends with each other, which misled us pretty thoroughly

I guess I've been very lucky. I've only ever lost a few friendships other than by people moving away, other than by geographic separation (before the advent of cheap long distance calls, or the internet) or death.
I have one friend who has political views I find repellent, and it has definitely strained our friendship. -

Despite their being moderately right-wing, they aren't completely bat-shit crazy about it, like most of the right wing. They do believe there's an illegal immigration problem, but they find ICE as abhorrent as I do. Were that not the case, I probably could not remain friends with them. Tolerance of alternative viewpoints only can go so far. When someone is willing to deny basic human rights to a group they don't like, that supercedes any other common ground we might have had. -
