What you write about "a lot of the information I receive from other people is meaningful to me not in itself but because they chose to share it" really resonates. I also feel that hollowness--and a flattening. While actual relationships create expansiveness in what you talk about and learn, algorithms and LLMS are narrowing in giving you what you want to see and hear. This post makes me extra grateful for those rambling, wandering interactions with people I love
