Ask HN: Build a hive mind where strangers continue each other's conversations?

3 points by amichail ↗ HN
It seems that the tech to do so is already available today.

Imagine engaging in small talk with a stranger and then a few minutes later another stranger approaches you to continue the conversation.

After 10 or so such encounters, maybe the (branching) conversation could go well beyond small talk and perhaps even lead to work opportunities say.

Of course it would be restricted to consenting adults and strict privacy policies (e.g., a full data wipe at the end of the day).

Has anyone tried to build such a tech hive mind?

That's just talking to people. Having conversations. Networking. It's literally just social skills. People already do this all the time.

The "hivemind" is "society."
