My takeaway from this is academia needs good social media and algo. For me, these serendipitious interactions happen through X, here, like reading @steipete’s “Claude Code is my computer” when it first came out, finding out about clawdbot…

Terence Tao is already on mathstodon, I wonder if that worked out the same way for him. I wonder if the algo there works out as well as it does for me here

I really liked being on campus when I was doing a masters and half a phd, but that could not compare to the serendipity I am getting from X now

I was also not a prodigy that everyone wanted to bounce ideas from like Terence :)
