  1. @timbray #OnTheMedia's classic 2006 episode, "Prime Number", addresses this point beautifully, mostly related to news and media, though #Wikipedia and #Wikipedians should take note.

    OTM cites #CarlBialik, then writing for the WSJ (he's since worked at FiveThirtyEight and is now at Yelp ... per Wikipedia):

    An interesting phenomenon of these numbers is that they'll often be cited to an agency or some government body, and then a study will pick it up, and then the press will repeat it from that study. And then once it appears in the press, public officials will repeat it again, and now it's become an official number.

  12. Ensh*ttification, Live! Micah and Cory Doctorow in Conversation

    Excellent interview with Cory Doctorow on our favorite topic Enshitification 👍

    “This past weekend, OTM co-host Micah Loewinger went to Seattle to sit down with an all-time favourite guest of the show: tech activist and writer Cory Doctorow. We recorded the following conversation in front of a live audience at the Cascade #PBS Ideas festival. The topic was “Enshittification” – Cory’s theory of how everything on the internet got worse”

  17. @davidgerard I've got to take exception to one statement you make:

    AI is the last game in the casino.

    It may be the last game of which we're presently aware. But I'm reasonably certain another grift will come along.

    That's a minor nit, and this is good analysis.

    NB: WNYC's On the Media interviewed Ed Zitron this past January. He makes a similar case to yours:

    Silicon Valley over the years has leaned towards just growth ideas. What will grow, what can we sell more of? Except, they've chased out all the real innovators. To your original question, they didn't know what they were going to do. They thought that ChatGPT would magically become profitable. When that didn't work, they went, "Well, what if we made it more powerful and bigger? We can get more funding that way," so they did that.

  18. @shane ooh what are your favourite podcasts Shane?

    Mine are mostly political or tech and I assume would bore most people: #LateNightLinux, #BigPicture, #Macrodose, #Deconstructed, #OnTheMedia, #TechPolicyPress, #PoliticsTheoryOther, #factually.

    Always looking for more good ones 😊

  19. 📰 Fernando Rosas was one of the people interviewed by Universitetsläraren, with whom he spoke about his experience as a political prisoner in the Peniche Fort, as a lecturer at the dawn of democracy in the university, and about the foundation of the IHC in the 1990's.

  20. This interview with Iyad el-Baghdadi in the middle of the latest episode of #OnTheMedia is so important.

    The only conscienable solution to the #IsraelPalestine conflict is #OneState which champions human rights & equality for all.

    Or, put another way, #decolonisation following the #SouthAfrica model.

    And this will require building a huge amount of empathy on both sides.

  21. 📰 A propósito do lançamento do seu mais recente livro, Fernando Rosas deu uma longa entrevista do Diário de Notícias, onde reflecte sobre diferentes momentos da história política de Portugal no século XX:

    "A revolução de 1974/1975 conquista na rua as liberdades fundamentais: o direito de manifestação, a liberdade de expressão, o direito à greve, a liberdade sindical."
