December 13, 2024Episode 0055: Sources
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: There has been some talk, some concern, about what happens when the big companies run out of new, human-authored content to train their AI models on, and the snake begins to eat its tail, so to speak. Might there be a similar problem for content creators if main stream media falls behind, shrinks away, leaving your own personal Joe Rogan as your primary source of news and insights?

Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Our online world is mostly about infinite scroll, a reverse-chronological ordering of events, photos, brief messages, our unread emails and other messages. Are we always catching up, leaving out the items that fall off the bottom of our attention span, and is there a better way to do this?

November 07, 2024Episode 0050: Post Election Ideation
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Now that Election Day 2024 has come and gone, some reflections on what works, what does not, and what we might do about it as an extremely divided electorate, two groups with more in common than not, but with no idea how this could be. Let us consider not so much the candidates, nor the parties, but the voters, you and me, and where we might do better.

Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: You may already have mailed yours in, maybe you are thinking about dropping it off, perhaps you will walk in and fill it out there, or you could just skip the whole thing. Whichever path you take, it seems like we should be better at this by now…

October 17, 2024Episode 0047: Signals and Systems
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: If we label surveys, polls, statistics and data in general as Signals, then we can look at how these various Signals drive, in any direction, our various Systems on which we all rely, yet it is more apparent than ever that neither the Signals, nor the Systems, are reliably considered.

October 10, 2024Episode 0046: Informed Public
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Not a new topic, but information awareness appears to be on the decline at a faster pace than even the most pessimistic among us could have imagined. With luck this is an artifact of the intensity of this election season, but there may be long term impact.
