🕵️ Baby Reindeer exposing the issue with internet sleuths
Episode Highlights:
“What is the point of Rabbit R1? I first got excited because It looks like a new Tamagotchi.” - 8:00 - Ben Wiggins
“Do we really need another little plastic box thing that is probably going to be redundant in the next 6-12 months, put it away in a drawer, forget about it, and then we have a problem with recycling?” - 13:30 - Ben Wiggins
“I just don’t see AI tools like GenreX fully replacing human creativity, maybe more as a tool to help them create.” - 21:20 - Felina Tan
“While we're playing Sherlock Holmes on TikTok like a crazy person, we might be missing the point of the series, like the fact that it's not about outing the real life inspirations behind the characters. It's about facing the uncomfortable truths that they represent.” - 28:45 - Felina Tan
“Do you think that being a social media sleuth or an online detective is a perfectly good thing, a perfectly fine thing to do? ” - 32:20 - Jag Sharma
