[FRIAM] the woman behind the woman

[Marcus Daniels]

Hmm.  I think "The Mind" will still be present at universities, and it will be mocking "The Hive" while being relatively uninvolved.   I don't object to the stumbling but I do object to driving the time window of performance down toward zero and toward an audience that has an unsophisticated way of judging things.   "Did you make a pretty web page?   Yes or no?"   In contrast a lab (or a computer enthusiast group) develops a more complex and nuanced gestalt.  It's a question of what kind of people are driving the field forward.   I think the field is much richer now, but is in the hands of a less diverse and less engaged class of drivers.   Maybe that is just "Get off my lawn!" or endless Gore Vidal type whining.  I don't know.

I share your worry.  But when I hear myself say it, it sounds like "Get off my lawn!"  Perhaps evolution is (will be) faster with more stumbling around in public?  The mind is dead.  Long live the hive.

This trend toward public github & portfolios I think leads to a lot of shallowness and not the development of depth-first search and occult representations.   I guess young people have to get `out there' to get into the market,  but a lot of what I see seems like stumbling around in public.
