I don't get people complaining about AI revised communication. It's polite, concise, legible, and rarely insults you. After interacting with people in electronic communities for 35 years I'm ready for something different.

@dsonoiki No email, but I presented my research to David Cheriton and his wife at a poster session.

Whenever I've talked to a random stranger, they've always wanted me to listen to them. They seem to want an audience, not a conversation.

@waitbutwhy I suspect you're joking, but the development of Diet Coke and Coke Zero is quite interesting.

@LinkofSunshine I found 9-5 life intolerable. It was entirely the driving force behind FIRE for me.

@HettrickMichael I’ve stopped going to Tim’s and know multiple people who have done the same. I never would have imagined this 10 or 15 years ago, but I think Dunkin’s time is here.

@TheEdVerse You were shockingly generous with your time, knowledge, and snacks. Being able to pick your brain for 5 hours in a small group setting felt like something you'd have to win a contest to experience. Thank you again so much!

[John Champaign @JccWrites]

@CT_Phipps I feel the same way! I was surprised, because everyone else seems to like The Martian and PHM better…

Attended Ed Greenwood's @TheEdVerse writing seminar today!

@iris1smmy You might also enjoy the original Dragonlance trilogy. Gave a strong, coherent world that really felt like the protagnoists were a D&D party.
