    "And so, like looking at the memory shortly after whatever the event was versus a few years down the line, or a few decades, the lenses that we're using to look at those things is entirely different. So we might change who's the villain? Who's the hero? What was actually quote unquote bad or quote unquote good, or any of these other ideas? Right. Those things shift, however, when we're talking about the Internet, this curated monolith of self."

    "You know, for the longest time I wondered if it was just in my imagination. And then I wondered, well, maybe I'm just getting quote unquote old in my thinking, you know, a bit of a curmudgeon or something. And then I was reading an article recently where a professional in the tech industry talked about how the results of search engines have never been worse than they are now. And then I felt completely and utterly validated."

    "Okay. I find this fascinating but also hilarious because I really want to know, like, how this was discovered. You know, how sometimes just, like, an innovation or a discovery, and it wasn't intentional and it was done by accident? Yeah. I want to know the story is behind this one, because I feel like it could be a really good one."

    "And so choosing to go into an environment that is going to be so overwhelming in so many different ways is not just a momentary experience. It's something I would have to choose and have an impact on me for days and sometimes weeks to come. The burbling tea kettle hit its boiling point, and this is the barest glimpse into the more debilitating side of autism for me."

    "And like trying to decipher when an answer is given, what influence is this answer trying to shape me and as a user, or perceptions that I have, or my thinking? Or is this the coders trying to constrain define the AI? Or is this some embodiment we want to say that the AI has taken on as an identity of some kind. And just like the levels of thinking in poker, there comes a point when this ceases to serve any sort of utility, right?"

    "You know, we've lost all concepts of privacy, and it's almost frowned upon if you decide that you're not going to share something or share it in a very vulnerable way, because then you're trying to be aloof or withdrawn when we've lost the concepts and the importance of privacy and boundaries."

    "We have language and concepts, framings around what empathy looks like between one individual and another individual. You can find information about affective and cognitive empathy and what these things are. But as we have introduced more and more technology, we are creating different scenarios that we don't have language and framings for yet."
