It's easy to get caught up in AI fear, specifically the fear of being replaced. We talked about as much in our last episode. However the more relevant fear we should be focused on is the fear of being tricked. If the era of fake news and the emergence of deep fakes wasn't enough, now we need to contend with the reality that most major tech companies don't actually care what's being shared, taking the stance that it's up to us to decide what's real as long as they're getting their clicks. Last time we talked about the need to rediscover out capacity to think critically. This time we're showing you why. Alongside previous guest and friend Casey Fox, founder of Tekletics, we took on a project that showed us just how easy it was to break Twitter, and virtually any media platform, all by following the rules. You're going to want to see this going into the U.S. election next week.
