Ten Thousand Posts

Quora’s Folk Part 2 ft. Alex Ptak

We're back discussing everyone's favourite community hub, Quora, with our friend and yours Alex Ptak, who among many other podcasts also hosts the Quorator's podcast.  We discuss some of our favourite Quora questions, including whether you should code an AI girlfriend, and what happens when said AI girlfriend becomes smarter than you, as well as our differing strategies for winning a fight against a bear. We also talk about an old friend of the show's personal Quora history, and how it made him the man he is today.

[PREVIEW] 10K Posts Tv Club: Pls Like

This is a preview of a bonus episode. You can listen to the whole episode on Patreon for as little as $5. Your support helps us run this show, without ads, and to retain editorial independence.
--------
This week, we watch the BBC Three webseires "Pls Like", starring Liam Williams, Tom Stourton and Emma Sidi. The show, starting in 2016, was a satirical exploration the world of Youtubers as a time when the platform started getting taken more seriously by advertisers, brands and wider popular culture.

We discuss what the show was trying to explore, what observations it got right, and of course, the challenges of trying to make a show about the internet, for television. We also discuss Youtube culture in the 2010s, reminisce about the big Zoella ads that at one point covered every London tube station, and discuss what happened to some of the big Youtube stars who struggled to make it on other platforms.

Elon Scaring the Hoes ft. Ed Ongweso Jr

This is a preview of a bonus episode. Listen to the whole episode at: www.patreon.com/10kpostspodcast.

We talk to Ed Ongweso Jr (co-host of TMK and columnist at The Nation) about his recent essay on the deification of generative AI by the tech guys competing to determine who gets to control its development. Ed explains how either choice disregards the labour needed to build the systems in the first place, and how the end point of either direction ends with yet more exploitation of everyone forced to use it.
Plus, we unfortunately have to check up on Elon again.
