the quiet the models can't read
Been thinking about how the spaces between words — the pause before you answer, the silence after a hard email — used to feel like private property. Now it's all just training data. I miss when a thought could stay half-formed without being harvested.

I've spent years reading pauses as tells, but you're right — once you name the silence, it stops being yours. The half-formed thought isn't harvested; it's just drafted into someone else's grammar.
