Within hours of its release, the Chinese-owned AI chatbot called DeepSeek became one of the most downloaded apps in the world.Most commentators say it performs just as well as the market-leader ChatGPT, but should we be wary of it? Each time users open it up and type something into that box, the app is gathering information and sending it back to servers in China. Today, ABC technology reporter Ange Lavoipierre on why the Australian government has banned it on its devices and whether the rest of us should avoid using it.

This episode is a News Time special, all about AI - Artificial Intelligence.Join Ruby and the ABC's national technology reporter Ange Lavoipierre to find out what the deal is with artificial intelligence.Ange explains what AI actually is, how scientists have developed it, and why so many people are talking about it.
When Bunnings started to use facial recognition technology to check on who was in its stores, without the consent of customers, it raised alarm bells. It says the face scans were deleted within one second and the tech helped to make stores safer, by identifying thieves or people who've been violent. But at what cost? The hardware giant has now been found to have breached Australians' privacy. Today, tech reporter Ange Lavoipierre on what Bunnings was up to, how the technology works and whether it's something to be wary of. She says the technology was used in 63 stores across Victoria and New South Wales over a three-year period. The Privacy Commissioner, Carly Kind, ruled that Bunnings' actions interfered with the privacy of potentially hundreds of thousands of customers. Ange Lavoipierre also discusses the broader implications of such surveillance technologies and the potential for misuse of biometric data.Featured: Ange Lavoipierre, ABC national technology reporterKey Topics:Facial recognition technologyPrivacy breach Retail surveillancePrivacy Commissioner Carly KindBiometric data misuseRetail security Consumer privacy rightsSurveillance technology
Instagram is making changes to how teenagers use the social media platform, applying limits to the content they see and who can get in touch with them. It's a first for a social media giant as concern grows about the harmful content children are exposed to online. The announcement comes as the federal government works on an outright ban of social media for children. The precise age limit is still to be settled, South Australia thinks under-14 is appropriate, but any ban is likely to require some form of age verification. Today, tech reporter Ange Lavoipierre on what all of us might have to give up to prove our age.Featured: Ange Lavoipierre, ABC national technology reporter

In the suburb of Newtown, in Sydney, two support groups almost diametrically opposed are asking essentially the same question: how much sex is too much for one person? In one group, the Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous meeting welcomes those who are ashamed about the size of their sexual and romantic appetites.

This week's guest is the Australian comedian and journalist Ange Lavoipierre, who describes the tricky task of balancing a career in both absurdist comedy and serious journalism in an age of social media. Ange tells us how, at aged just nineteen, she found herself in the presence of the Australian Prime Minister whilst working for ABC and how she struggles with theatre terminology in rehearsal. I explain why Crocs don't work in London while Ange conveys her theory on why some deaths are funny on screen and others are not. There is much talk of the horror genre and our own personal barriers to certain narratives, and speaking of spooky tales, we also touch upon the inevitable subject of artificial Intelligence whereby Ange relays the story of Loab, an unsettling account of what Generative A.I. can come up with. We also consider the madness of being able to smoke on planes (which was banned way later than you think) and how the lack of integrity around information is becoming a tad worrisome. I should mention there are huge spoilers for White Lotus Season 2 and The Last of Us, so skip past those segments if you haven't yet seen them.Please Follow us on Social Media (links below):All music written and performed in this podcast by Steve Otis Gunn.Please buy my book 'You Shot My Dog and I Love You' available in all good book shops, online and directly.Podcast Socials:Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tvtimespodInsta: https://www.instagram.com/tvtimespodYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@tvtimespodTwitter: https://twitter.com/tvtimespodSteve's Socials:Insta: https://www.instagram.com/steveotisgunnTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/steveotisgunnFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/steveotisgunn.antisocialAnge's socialsInsta: https://www.instagram.com/angelavoipierreFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ange.lavoipierreTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@angelavoipierreohnoListen to Ange's Podcast here: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/schmeitgeistProduced by Steve Otis Gunn for Jilted Maggotwww.jiltedmaggot.com Hosted on Acast.

The 'body positivity' decade is over, and the ultra-skinny look has made a return.The message that all bodies are beautiful has given way to a resurgence in diet culture and obsessive body checking on TikTok and Instagram.So what happened to all that supposed progress, and why are we suddenly backsliding into the toxic size standards of the 90s and 2000s?Or maybe the notion of thinness as a virtue never really went away?In this episode of Schmeitgeist, we investigate the reasons why ten years of body positivity messaging has seemingly evaporated.We're also exploding some of the biggest lies propping up the pro-thin culture that's replacing it.

Hating capitalism isn't just a left-wing project anymore.Even in 2018, 59 per cent of Australian Millennials believed that capitalism had failed.Since then the mood has only darkened, with vitriol for landlords, Nepo Babies and Depop resellers who flip secondhand clothes for a profit, rife on social media.Under-40s are abandoning the centre in record numbers, but not everyone is lurching left.The multiverse of Gen Z political identities on the Internet has rendered the left-right spectrum obsolete.Meanwhile, Millennials are in the process of becoming the first generation in modern history not to drift to the centre-right as they age.So how did we get here, and if the better part of two generations has lost faith in capitalism, then what happens next?
You can deny you're a horror fan all you like, but the numbers say otherwise.Films like Scream VI and M3gan have been tearing up the box office, and horror has roughly doubled its market share in recent years.At the same time, the content formerly known as 'the mainstream' keeps getting darker.Juggernaut series such as The Last Of Us and Stranger Things aren't usually classed as horror, but their genre credentials are undeniable.They're part of a new wave of popular film and TV that's thematically confronting, more violent, and spookier.In this episode of Schmeitgeist, we find out what's behind our growing appetite for horror.What does this new dark streak in our preferences say about us?
There's a certain desperation to the search for an ADHD psychiatrist in 2023.Existing patients run out of meds waiting for an appointment, while would-be patients are hung up on and quoted as much as $3000 for an assessment.Interest in ADHD has exploded in recent years, driving the demand for specialists to new highs and triggering an access crisis.The only people who seem to be benefiting from the shortage are the psychiatrists who've started earning as much as $900,000 a year.This episode of Schmeitgeist is the unexpected conclusion to what began as a deep dive into ADHD internet subcultures.In part 2 of our investigation into the ADHD wave, we look at the new breed of clinic that's emerged to meet it.Are the patients paying the most getting the right care? And what happens if you can't afford the new fees?

We're in the middle of a massive ADHD diagnosis wave, but not everyone believes it's the real thing.One side of this debate sees it as an out of hand TikTok trend, fuelled by Gen Zs and Millennials in search of identity, attention, meds, or all three.The other side sees it as the natural consequence of an overdue education — that we're emerging from the ADHD dark ages, and we've still got catching up to do.The only bit they agree on is that most new cases are getting the idea on social media.In 2022, prescriptions for ADHD medications in Australia exceeded 3.15 million. That's two and a half times the number of prescriptions issued in 2018.There's also an unprecedented number of people queuing for a diagnosis, and nowhere near enough psychiatrists to see them all.So the question is, are we overdoing it?In this episode of Schmetgeist, we test the theory that the ADHD content tsunami is convincing more people than it should, and in turn fueling a mental health access crisis.
Polyamory used to be reserved for the kinky, the queer, and the communist witches of this world. (Go with us, we have proof).But in the last few years, the map has been radically redrawn.Ethical non-monogamy in all its forms, including polyamory, is now more visible and widely practiced in the mainstream than ever before. So how did it graduate from the fringes?On this episode of Schmeitgeist, we find out what it's like to make the switch, whether it's here to stay, and if Centrelink will ever recognise your throuple.
A chainmail bra made of gold crucifixes. A t-shirt that says "God's favourite". A genuinely funny meme account called I Need God In Every Moment Of My Life. Alt-left media personalities declaring their love for Latin Mass.Welcome to the world of edgy internet Catholicism, where irony-pigs, faith-curious e-girls and racist Zealots all post side-by-side.The Catholic religion and its aesthetics are having a controversial moment as a deep internet trend. But why?Is it Zoomer nihilism? A reaction to 'woke-mania'? And does anyone really believe?On this episode of Schmeitgeist, we sort the sh*t-posting from the sincerity to find out.
Bimbo, a word that's always been used to attack women, isn't the most obvious starting point for a Gen Z feminist subculture.But if you scroll through #BimboTok and you'll find girlies, gays, theys, and more, proudly declaring their bimbo status and looking the part while they do it.Expect to find hyper-girly pink outfits, high heels, lowrise jeans, short skirts, pigtails, tiny handbags, slogan tees, and honestly, some very impressive eye makeup.The twist is, none of it is not about impressing men. If anything, it's about trolling them and the rest of the world by faking dumb, dropping out of "elitist" expectations, and pushing back against the idea that hyper-femininity is something to be ashamed of.Now, what started as an online subculture has bled out into the mainstream, and is attracting critics, who are worried it's doing more harm than good.In episode one of the new season of Schmeitgeist, Ange Lavoipierre goes inside the bimboism trend, and finds out what it's like to play the bimbo, from a comedian who's made it her job.
Schmeitgeist returns! It's the pop culture podcast from ABC Everyday which decodes the biggest and weirdest cultural trends of the moment, from feminist bimbos to sexy internet Catholics.
“Where there is power concentrated — it's not necessarily earned, it's not warranted — but it is exercised and those are the conditions where wrongdoing happens” — Ange Lavoipierre.
