CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@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.)

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

@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.

@xgranade @whitequark My US History textbook was "kind" enough to mention that Jefferson was a slaveowning rapist. Of course, it didn't use that term and really wanted ppl not to pay attention to that "fun fact".

To be clear, I HATE the current state of things, but there's a hint of truth to this.

I don't have the blog post handy, but someone tried to roll their own alternative to TCP, UDP, etc for fun recently. They discovered that carriers will refuse to reliably route anything that's doesn't set the IP proto to TCP/UDP.

So even if Unis wanted to create a new proto, it _sounds_ like the social aspect of getting non-Uni middlemen to play nice is a lot more difficult.
