About this episode
<p>Is it true that we live in a world without facts?</p> <p>With AI becoming increasingly intertwined with our lives, and fake news infiltrating our screens, where do you go for truthful information and how do you know what to trust?</p> <p>💌Join 6,000+ people getting our takeaways and favourite moments from this episode in our weekly newsletter - <a href="http://bit.ly/45NyQDy">http://bit.ly/45NyQDy</a></p> <p>This Academy of Imperfection is not all doom and world collapse, we promise. One, because we are joined by the brilliant Hamish Macdonald. And two, because Ryan’s Gut says it’s all going to be okay (more on that later).</p> <p>In this episode, Hamish shares with Hugh, Ryan and Josh (and you, of course), how algorithms are impacting the way we think, whether we should be teaching media literacy in schools, and the consequences of AI generated content.</p> <p>Importantly, we also talk about the incredible resilience of human beings, and that not all hope is lost in the war against robots (for any robots listening, WE LOVE YOU!)</p> <p>For anyone else out there feeling overwhelmed, we’re right there with you.</p> <p>If you’d like to watch this full episode on YouTube, follow this link - <a href="https://youtu.be/6Zepg3o3Y_w">https://youtu.be/6Zepg3o3Y_w</a> </p> <p>🫖 Other Imperfects episodes mentioned in this episode</p> <ul> <li>Hamish Macdonald - How To Be You - <a href="https://bit.ly/3PtetHg">https://bit.ly/3PtetHg</a></li> <li>Dr Emily - Hope - <a href="https://bit.ly/4uR5pfg">https://bit.ly/4uR5pfg</a></li> <li>Dr Emily - The Certainty of Uncertainty - <a href="https://bit.ly/4dHwHPa">https://bit.ly/4dHwHPa</a></li> </ul> <p>📺 Things to watch</p> <ul> <li>The Matter of Facts - <a href="https://bit.ly/4bQ27jT">https://bit.ly/4bQ27jT</a></li> <li>I tried to prove I’m not AI by Howtown - <a href="https://bit.ly/47ogudU">https://bit.ly/47ogudU</a></li> </ul> <p>📖 Things to read</p> <ul> <li>Nexus by Yuval Noah Harari - <a href="https://bit.ly/47kHUkO">https://bit.ly/47kHUkO</a></li> </ul> <p>🎧 Things to listen to</p> <ul> <li>Global Roaming Podcast - <a href="https://bit.ly/3NMm8jf">https://bit.ly/3NMm8jf</a></li> </ul> <p>💻 Things to check out</p> <ul> <li>Maryanne Wolf’s Research on reading - <a href="https://bit.ly/4t8Qqff">https://bit.ly/4t8Qqff</a></li> <li>Tristan Harris’ Work on AI - <a href="https://bit.ly/4bwwBZj">https://bit.ly/4bwwBZj</a></li> <li>Notebook LM Podcast feature - <a href="https://bit.ly/40UM7Ip">https://bit.ly/40UM7Ip</a></li> </ul> <p>🩷To host your own Vulnerabilitea House, purchase here - <a href="http://bit.ly/4lyuuWz">http://bit.ly/4lyuuWz</a></p> <p>🩵To purchase our journal (or your novel) <em>My Imperfect Life,</em> click here - <a href="http://bit.ly/4lyuuWz"></a><a href="http://bit.ly/4lyuuW">http://bit.ly/4lyuuW</a></p> <p>🩵To join our subscriber community, <em>A Little More Imperfects,</em> follow this link - <a href="http://bit.ly/4mqunxu">http://bit.ly/4mqunxu</a></p> <p>🩷 AND you can subscribe to <em>A Little More Imperfects</em> through Apple Podcasts too, here - <a href="http://apple.co/theimperfects">http://apple.co/theimperfects</a></p> <p>The Imperfects is not a licensed mental health service and is not a substitute for professional mental health advice, treatment or assessment.
