episode 07 Social Media - The Robots are Racist Now (Part 3 of 3) cover

07 Social Media - The Robots are Racist Now (Part 3 of 3)

In the thrilling conclusion of our Social Media series, we talk censorship, discrimination, and the father of American sociology, W.E.B. DuBois. Through the power of algorithms, we can finally automate racism. There will be no episode next week, as I am still working on it. The first two series of episodes were completed as my capstone project at the University of Alabama Birmingham, along with my partner, Rayne, who you’ve heard on all the episodes so far. Due to time constraints, she is unavailable going forward, so I’m working solo on the next episodes! It takes a bit longer to deliver content at this level of research and polish, so I hope it will be worth the wait.

Artificial Intelligence - Daisy Bell is Hallucinating (Part 3 of 3)

Hey, wait. It's starting to seem like you guys have an anti-AI bias. What do you MEAN you expect to be paid for your services? You don't want your voice being cloned for scams? Hold on. Asking ChatGPT a question takes ten times as much energy as a normal internet search? Well, good thing Google Gemini is forced into every search now- oh no. I'm starting to see the problem. Part three of three. We will be off next week to observe the Labor Day holiday!

Artificial Intelligence - Are Big Tech the Baddies? (Part 2 of 3)

So what's so bad about generative AI? What are some of the real world implications of this technology? Who does it harm? How does it harm them? Will Zoe and Diana become lawyers? Probably not, but my mom would be really happy if I did.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
