Episode 13 Part 1 of 3: With Apologies to Angoon, Clamping Down on Balloons, Influencing the DNC, and Giving Ammo to AI; Recorded July 5th, 2024
Description
We're back with another enticing episode of the Sam and Derik Show. We start with an update on the 1882 shelling of the village of Angoon, Alaska. Next, we cover a rare win for environmentalists given by... Ron DeSantis? Then it's a discussion on whether "Influencers" should be treated like media which somehow strays into AI bullet vending machines. What a ride.
