I have to laugh at these Chinese American AI Researchers. "China isn't obsessed with beating America." "China wouldn't steal AI." What BS. And I can't believe for a moment they are that naiive. Clearly, their allegiances lie with China. And they can't be trusted.
I hope it isn't lost on people that it is a critical organ for exchanging ideas, informing dissidents in Iran and other authoritarian controlled countries. That is of value to the Mullahs, Putin, etc.
we're supposed to be a democratic republic, but whatever...we're not that either anymore.
You are so disconnected from reality, it's hard to listen this patronizing tone :/
I'm surprised by Frank Luntz feeling he isn't listened to. Every time it seems when there's been of some thorny issue, a messaging battle in the last couple of decades, he's been there. And, understanding the right groups to win over. I hope the messaging debacle, though I understand it, has taught or chastened the Dems enough to employ the strategies of gurus like Drew Weston and Luntz!!
I hate to crush dreams to commenters, but neither Tristan Harris or Aza Raskin read comments from Castbox!!!
I just started listening to this podcast and it seems really interesting! I just have one comment about this one on gambling addiction, since I kept waiting for them to talk about the root of gambling or any other kind of addiction... this is central to solve this problem and any psychologist working in the area knows about this, so I was somewhat surprised there was no mention of this. Why do people start gambling in the first place (or other behaviours that end up in addiction)? And I am not talking about playing slots once a year on your bday or for a bachelor's party... Once people are addicted, it is extremely difficult to stop it (once an addict, always and addict!), but prevention of it is much easier to manage and implement. There are some genetic/hereditary propensities for addiction given the right conditions, but this is not always predictive. The clearer predictive of someone becoming an addict is linked to social and emotional relationships quality in one's life. And my gu
I think you dropped the ball on this one guys. I couldn't think of one thing McCaster said that China does, or Russia, that we do not do abroad ourselves, or here at home in America. Just because we're America, doesn't make our intent for nefarious things like media control in our own country and others, any better than China's.
This is Wert's lost tape from Over the Garden Wall.
amazing episode, so insightful. This kind of conversation should be had on national news
I am extremely impressed with this podcast. It's presentation was cogent and very well informed. Thank you! What's the plan for having government adopt Blockchain as a means to transparency?
what did you think of this?
She habitually drags out the final word or syllable of each clause, as though she thinks it accentuates her point. Don't inflect EVERYTHING.
This podcast changed my life. Ive felt 'wrong' about social media for some time and since disconnecting have found myself justifying 'why not' to my family and friends, and finding my 'why so?' to be wholly ineffective. Even to myself, it was hard yo educate and explain internally. I can now explain myself more clearly. I wont change my family's mind but i am now more informed (on both sides) and can more considered decisions. Ive shared this podcast with some colleagues and friends who are more open minded and already i see a change, and thats what matters. Its about awareness. I dont want to proselytise. Thank you for the passion, accessibility and transparency of a podcast like this. I truly hope we will look back on podcasts like this decades from now and see them as prophetic. I hope... The alternative doesn't bare thinking about.
The snaps get old.
@18:32: "True for them" is such an intellectually broken phrase that it contributes to the very problem being discussed. The violence of Jan. 6th was fueled by lies conveyed through a misappropriation of English. Muddled language has a reciprocal relationship with muddled thinking. How can we have accountability when words no longer have meaning? This is Trump's own defense, and that of Sidney Powell, and Rudy Giuliani, and Fox, and every depraved Reupblican attempting to hide their bigotry and malice in a fog of nonsense. Stop contributing to the problem. Start using words as if they have actual meanings.
Another well intentioned person holding forth about "truth" because it seems right to her, yet many of her strung-together conjectures are factually wrong. It reminds me of anti-scientific Socratic precepts. So little of what she said is empirically falsifiable, and many of her little factoids are in fact false. It undermines her credibility, and therefore her efficacy in promoting what might be useful approaches.
@8:58: A great point I'm very glad to hear someone make regarding the over-use of military terminology and metaphors.
"Clock rate" is an ambiguous, incomplete term Aza seems compelled to say. Use a better term. Neologisms don't make you sound smart, just pseudo-intellectual.
I could do without Aza's breathy, overly empathic, constant "Yeah."
This format for introducing the guest seems awkward and contrived... and a bit effusive or inflated. Also, Aza should pull the mic out of his mouth.
Speaking of distractions, I find Aza's growly vocal fry distracting--and annoying, since it sounds like an affectation.
Fascinating podcast. I've been working developing a community network - www.ournet.online - which addresses all the issues you wonderful people raised in this podcast. it is possible. Inspired by Marshall McLuhan "the medium is the message". I'd love to have you people onboard. Can we talk? Loved the thing about monopoly.
It would be great if you stopped perpetuating the negative connotation surrounding the phrase "conspiracy theories". Some conspiracies are real and legitimate, and the current connotation dismisses concerns over them.
Bias becomes behavior over time
God shut the fuck up and let the lady fucking speak! The interruption makes this unlistenable and she has so much to impart.
Jesus fucking Christ, stop interrupting and listen a little more.
How about just periodic goal popups? REM ending you you actually HAVE goals?
serendipity HALT ask yourself are you hungry hungry lonely and tired before making in a drastic decision
No news room should compete when it comes to false information. journalism never has to deal with falsity
immediate that our brains are wired to react
It must be the best time to adopt a rescue animal because pets are the few things gives you unconditional love and just look at you with love.
just watched the documentary - well done to you both! very informative and you are both very impressive.
Good cause, I tried to sign the petition but upon clicking submit nothing happens. Hope the site's not overwhelmed.
China does not allow Facebook, right, but only because they control everything absolutely! Even companies are more like gov institutions. China is absolutely not a good example!
OK, now this show is finally getting serious
Thanks for doing this. I just discovered your podcast and plan to slowly catch up on old episodes first. One thing that might interest you for future episodes -- the impact of these algorithms and design choices on college students, especially focusing on the fact that impulse control, for thought, and other executive functions don't develop fully until about age 25. My gut says that certain populations are more succeptible to having their lives destroyed by these technologies.
