38 - Pope Has Swag? Better Media With AI ft. Alex Fink

Jim and Nathan talk with Alex Fink, founder of the public benefit corporation Other Web, which provides “a walled-garden of pristine information where all junk has been filtered out, and users have complete control over what appears in their feeds and in what order.” We discuss the incentives producing clickbait and misinfo, journalism, deterioration of search engines and social media via ads, sponsored results, and “junk news”, how Fink developed his platform, the proposal to nationalize Google or other sites, government regulation of speech, AI, and the automation of labor. https://otherweb.com/ You can hear more from Alex here: AI Startup uses EQUITY CROWDFUNDING to Create a Junk-Free Internet - Otherweb (Alex Fink) - https://bit.ly/3MoMUtk Otherweb Cuts Junk from Your News Diet - https://bit.ly/43brff3
