Great article by @fhill_official on staying connected to family and the pressure to leave home

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

The panic about young adults’ reliance on their family rests on an assumption: Growing up requires them to leave all that behind. But there’s another way to look at it, @fhill_official writes: https://t.co/mv257EMbyg

Great talk by Simone Natale today at U. of Tuebingen. Provoking super questions: Does the disposition to project intelligence (and autonomy) onto machines change across time? In what circumstances is that projection beneficial? What can we learn about AI from a 19th C. seance?

Every university, every podcast, and every business that has used Zoom is going to look at Zoom’s new policy and start searching for alternatives.

Huge opportunity for one of Zoom’s competitors to grow significantly by saying “that crap Zoom is doing? We won’t do that.”

[Librarianshipwreck @libshipwreck]

“So it seems like good counsel to be wise to the hype.  Not only does it conceal as much as it reveals, if history is any guide, it's likely to be ephemeral.”

Some important historic perspective on tech hype from @luke_fernandez:

No, you don't have a reptilian brain inside your brain https://t.co/4vrB9g2HPv

The myth of the reptilian brain is tenacious – but wrong.
