Quish You Were Here

✨The Nightmare of AI ep 9✨AI, Artificial Intelligence, or as some boomers call it, A1 like the steak sauce, is everywhere now. Much like a lower back tattoo, it was a good idea at the time, but now it's invasive, and annoying, but at least it doesn't collect your data or spy on you like AI. 💁💅So Tramp Stamp: 1 Artificial Int. : 0I talk about the origin story of AI, some of the dangers, and surprise, surprise! There will be an episode 2. And, YES, I promised a new ep yesterday, BUT, NONE of the software I tested was adequate, so I recorded on one app and edited on Rivershite. Which, as of 10 min ago, crashed again. At the VERY LEAST it's crashed about 20 times on me today if not more. Sry if it's not purrfect, I was a little stuffy as well. ENJOYYYYY 🫶

Just an update as it's been a minute!!A new episode is coming by Monday. I found a new software. Yes, it has a few bugs. But I'll do my best to work with it! 💖

Episode 8...Catfish are everywhere. Yes, I loved catching and reporting them on dating apps. What, a grrl can't have HOBBIES?And now with AI everywhere, it's even HARDER to figure out is it real? We also discuss the Tinder Swindler, Football players getting scammed, and a French woman who thought Brad Pitt was on her DMs. Plus a few wild stories from Hinge. I could do ANOTHER podcast on dating.... STAY TUNED.My allergies were acting up, sorry in advance. I also got a tip on software, tysm to @DreamsOfCollapse, who makes KILLER NIN (Nine Inch Nails) remixes, mashups, and 🔥 original compositions. Follow them on IG & Youtube!

In episode 7, we wrap up the three-part series on the hacks of Hackers. We dissect wiretapping, the hackers' efforts to thwart a catastrophic virus, and the real-world implications of hacking. Obviously, I talk about parallel cases of iconic computer viruses, denial of service attacks, and more hacking history. Plus, a teaser for next episode.*I did say Under Siege, but my allergies! 🙃

This is part 2 of the now *trilogy* of the hacks of Hackers. This episode covers the "Destroy Agent Gill" competition between Dade and Kate, we talk more about the Phantom Phreak and his exploits, and we delve into ways of getting information. The IRL situations I uncovered in my research... are kinda crazy , some scary and all real. EXAMPLE, have you ever heard of a MAP MASTER? 🤭🤭🤭

As promised in ep 4, this episode is covering some of the hacks of cult classic film Hackers. I also go over IRL situations based on the hacks done in the film, including a signal hijacking, the first known incident of hacking in school, jackpotting, and more. This is part one of three episodes on the hacks of Hackers.

*** After having to record and edit it FOUR TIMES, this is the best cut. Riverside.fm is AWFUL. Scroll down to see why.In episode 4, I go over the alleged threat of Juice Jacking, which turns into ANOTHER kind of jacking, and ends with VPNs. Then, a teaser for the next show! ***First off, This is the FOURTH time I had to record this, and there's still a few OBVIOUS glitches. This is because of Riverside.fm's editing platform. It lost TWO of my recordings, then found one but it was missing material and the tempo was slowed down. Then it lost my replacement that I recorded whilst they tried to locate the previous recording. Then this last recording had a few parts missing, and it has a few glitches. EVERY TIME I've used it, for EVERY podcast, I've had some issue and I was grateful to get ANY actual recording. I'm now looking for a new service, because I lost so many hours in editing and re-recording.
