AdminArticle: We're Creating a Knowledge Collapse and No One's Talking About It
AdminIdeally we get past anonymization but to do so we have to retrain ourselves on civil discourse with every revolution of communication medium. We get great conversations when we can be open and vulnerable. It's tempting to carry around those meeting note taker devices like Plaud.ai or others and I suspect people who are often on Zoom meetings are close to the point where they are just assuming everything is being recorded anyways.
I would totally sponsor a Community project where a couple people attempt to DIY a smart recorder.
MVPOne major issue I think you'll find is the smart glasses effect. Once people realize they're being recorded, human nature seems to impart that we act differently. I think the middle ground of zoom calls you pointed out is probably the closest we're going to get. It eliminates the geographic challenges of getting everyone in the same room, while providing the free-form context of discussion that's necessary for conversational-friction to develop (and hopefully find resolve).
As a side note, are there any 'dev central meetup' zooms that happen? It could be interesting.
