Podcasts about social machines

For all the good they give us, our personal tech has also become a major time suck. We lose hours of our waking lives to online experiences, especially in the past year, when our worlds became almost as tiny as the screens in our hands. Between work from home and doom-scrolling through social media, are we wasting time, or is this the "new normal" for spending it? And if we are going to be spending this much time online, can we improve online public spaces with better design? In her new book, Time Smart, behavioral scientist Ashley Whillans argues that if you improve your "time affluence," you'll lead a happier life. She offers some practical tips on how we can use the pandemic disruption to improve our relationship with time. Deb Roy, Executive Director of the MIT Media Lab and the MIT Laboratory for Social Machines, discusses how we can improve existing digital spaces. And Spark Senior Producer Michelle Parise shares her experience with what she calls "Nightly Doomscroll Avoidance."

Man searches for he truth about Social Distancing Robots. According to Singapore “SPOT will be controlled remotely, reducing the manpower required for park patrols and minimising physical contact among staff, volunteer safe distancing ambassadors and park visitors. This lowers the risk of exposure to the virus. Unlike wheeled robots, SPOT works well across different terrains and can navigate obstacles effectively, making it ideal for operation in public parks and gardens. SPOT is fitted with safety sensors to detect objects and people in its path. It has in-built algorithms to detect an object or person within 1 metre of its proximity to avoid collision.” leave a voicemail at 313-MAN-0231........ 寻找有关中国间谍活动的真相的人：病毒，生物战，口罩和路边COVID-19 @ Best Buy，当心这些冠状病毒网站和骗局，中国散布有关COVID-19，黑客，台湾，美国，中国和中国的谣言 俄罗斯巨魔全天候（24/7）传播虚假信息，国务院员工对冠状病毒，埃博拉病毒和Netflix呈阳性反应，以减慢流传输速度以阻止互联网中断，并在313-MAN-0231留下语音邮件1.1 Air-Gapped Network. 1.2 Antivirus. 1.3 Best Practices. 1.4 Black Hat. 1.5 Blacklist. 1.6 Botnet. 1.7 Casus Belli. 1.8 Civilian Participation.

By now, we're all familiar with the idea that social media can - and has - been used to spread untruths. But why does this work? Soroush Vosoughi from MIT's Laboratory for Social Machines and Harvard's Berkman Klein Center talks with us in episode 20 about his research into how false news disseminates differently than true news on Twitter.

If you’ve heard of BuzzFeed, you probably think about our famous articles and quizzes, such as The Dress and Which State Are You Actually From?, as well as our video escapades, such as The Try Guys Try Sexy Halloween Costumes and our famous Watermelon Explosion experiment on Facebook Live. The success of our content might seem accidental, but as a result of BuzzFeed’s experimental approach to producing content, the virality of these posts is actually a very scientific and calculated effort. This talk details how BuzzFeed thinks about and creates content, highlighting our paradigms for the function and role of our content. Menendez also discusses the software stack that supports this experimental loop, as BuzzFeed also employs a variety of technologies to build an analytics layer. Included in that tech discussion is also an overview of the metrics and signals BuzzFeed is interested in once content is live. Along the way, Walter highlights some of the Comparative Media Studies learnings he employs on a daily basis to thrive in the BuzzFeed content ecosystem. Walter Menendez is a Senior Data Infrastructure Engineer at BuzzFeed, based in New York. He is an MIT alum of the class of 2015, having majored in Computer Science and Engineering (Course 6-3). While at MIT, he concentrated in Comparative Media Studies, as well as having done undergraduate research in various Media Lab groups (Fluid Interfaces, Laboratory for Social Machines). At BuzzFeed, he is responsible for the development and maintanence of all of BuzzFeed’s data collection, from on-site impression collection to data warehousing solutions, empowering the analytical approach that BuzzFeed uses for the content creation cycle.

No character better captures our fears about technology than a cyborg, a living organism that is simultaneously flesh and technology. At the same time, we love videos of paralyzed people taking halting steps in a rehab center or deaf babies with cochlear implants laughing as they hear their mother's voice for the first time. I'm ultimately a cyborg fan, happy to merge with a surrounding web of symbols, culture and technology in an augmented city.
