New video out! We take a look at the burning hatred that many of us have for AI, looking at some culprits like Duolingo and JCS Criminal Psychology. Is it justified? But maybe more importantly, what's the way forward for those of us who are worried about an AI future? youtu.be/eNjlesFhQPU

New video just dropped! In this episode, we're taking a look at whether Gen Z and Gen Alpha truly are getting more dumb, and how we're increasingly embracing anti-intellectual mindsets 👀 Let me know what you think! www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSuz...

New video just dropped! CleanTok blew up during the covid lockdowns and has only grown in popularity in the years since. In response, creators have been sharing their 'realistic' homes as part of MessyTok. But how messy is too messy? And what's driving all this? youtu.be/tnR8nNllDW8

New video just dropped! In this one, we explore the phenomenon of boomer brain rot. It feels like older people are particularly susceptible to falling for AI and misinformation, but is this true? And what are the implications of it? It's not looking good... youtu.be/d60ggFd7_V8

new video dropped! If most us know about the harm that social media algorithms are doing, then why do so many of us continue to use them? And could there be a better alternative? Maybe one where the sky is blue? 👀 youtu.be/AV9xaAxolmU

NEW VIDEO: in this one, we're take a look at sped-up content like music, short-form video and TV, and separating fact from fiction when it comes to our diminishing attention spans. Is everything going to be okay or are we just becoming sped-up humans living sped-up lives? youtu.be/ZonvSDa1e9w

NEW VIDEO: this one's about all the spammy, scammy ads that plague Meta's apps; like trading courses, dating gurus, deceptive political ads and even nudifying apps. Why has Zuck let it get this bad (spoiler it's money) and is it going to get better any time soon? (Probably not) youtu.be/yLrxFNW5r_Y

Latest episode: In this one, we're taking a look at America's Last Line of Defense, described by its owner as “a network of parody, satire, and tomfoolery”. Satire always involves a risk of being mistaken for real, but at what point is it just spreading misinformation? youtu.be/SGvp8rJ_hrI?...
