When I was but a teenager, I moved into an apartment with a guy I had known for a while. I considered his ethics questionable. He contrasted them against mine and I learned a lot about myself. Life felt complicated at the time.
But anyway, the reason he was looking for a new apartment was that he had recently broken up with his girlfriend. Apparently she had cheated on him. This was back when AIM was a thing and, for whatever reason, he had access to her AIM logs. He thought she had cheated on him - I don’t know whether she did and it’s not my business - and wanted verification. He went through the entirety of her AIM logs, including mine. (She wasn’t cheating with me, though we did flirt on occasion. Out of some weird sense of morality, he warned me before he read our chat logs; he described it as “harmless.”)

I wonder what he’s doing with AI these days.
