Well said. And FWIW I meant only to use the case as a way of talking about the phenomenon in general, as a feature of the protocol and the technology determinism it may impose on us, not that this was a particularly egregious case—it was not. Like the AI, I myself had assumed Jack had sold his shares until someone recently highlighted this issue in a separate note. Also FWIW I felt you handled it as elegantly as possible. In general I think we owe each other—and maybe more importantly ourselves—much more existential slack with regard to the way our thoughts are iterated online. There's an impulse to circumscribe entire human beings—despite all the complexity of our lived experiences and internal contradictions—within the confines of our expressed and recorded ideas. As if we should all be only as evolved as our last most visible speech—or to nod at Lacan, as well put together as the image in the mirror.
