"Gemini Project" refers to a new network protocol and document format created by open source enthusiasts - it has nothing to do with Google.

I found this article from 2020 (shortly after the launch of the Gemini Project) interesting.

For more technical information and updated resources, see https://geminiprotocol.net/docs/faq.gmi .

Specialists are usually boring, that is good, it means they aren't just superficial hype guys just trying to dumb things down to get attention. To make them interesting, you need to ask good questions and to care about the answers you will get.

Oh yeah, I agree. Though there are some exceptions of specialists who are also great storytellers too and can get you interested in anything, and then there are super generalists who get into rabbit holes and can connect niche concepts across multiple fields in unexpected and cool ways.
