  • How AI will make social media even worse?

    How AI will make social media even worse?
    Aug 13 2023

    Human interaction with AI did not start with ChatGPT. It started years earlier, on social media: all the timelines (or newsfeeds) on social media nowadays are curated using complex AI algorithms.

    Today, we know it: social media - an intricate experiment, a playground for AI to manipulate our choices, stir emotions, and shape our perceptions - is not beneficial for humanity. End of story. 


    It's unsettling to realize that this experiment's results have manifested as:


    - polarized societies, 

    - the erosion of democracy, and 

    - vulnerable teenage minds. 


    The power and danger of AI lie not just in the technology itself, but in how it's wielded.

  • Weenect for kids - is it OK to GPS track kids?

    Weenect for kids - is it OK to GPS track kids?
    Jul 12 2023
    The episode explores the question of whether it is okay to GPS track children for their safety. The authors acknowledge that while GPS tracking devices like the Weenect for Kids can provide a sense of security, there is also a need to balance it with fostering a child's independence. The authors suggest that parents should consider the child's age, maturity, and specific circumstances when deciding whether or not to track them. Teaching children how to behave in crisis situations and taking precautions in crowded places are alternative methods to ensure their safety. Ultimately, the authors emphasize the importance of trust and listening to the child's needs and desires in making decisions about their well-being.
