Oxide and Friends Twitter Space: January 24th, 2022

Taxonomy of Hype

We've been holding a Twitter Space weekly on Mondays at 5p for about an hour. Even though it's not (yet?) a feature of Twitter Spaces, we have been recording them all; here is the recording for our Twitter Space for January 24th, 2022.

In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, speakers on January 24th included MattSci, Todd Gamblin, Aaron Goldman and Tom Lyon. (Did we miss your name and/or get it wrong? Drop a PR!)

Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:

  • The tweet about the topic: Johannes Klingebiel's (2022) The five Levels of Hype taxonomy
  • @8:24 Roko's Basilisk (slate.com)
  • @10:21 Cloud Computing
  • @12:09 Mobile, Wi-Fi (introduced in 1997)

    • Dean Kamen wiki
    • Decoder Ring podcast (June 2021) Who Killed the Segway? ~40mins slate.com, Apple podcasts
