Grumpy Young Lady

Pluribus has emerged and wow it feels so nice to have another Vince Gilligan show to watch. We're only a couple of episodes in, but I'm loving some of themes especially around how we treat intellectualism, ignorance, and fighting for the friction that is everyday life. 0:00 - Pluribus is here! 0:40 - Nothing like a grumpy lady1:10 - Episode 1 Pluribus recap3:00 - Pluribus episode 2 recap 4:40 - Why is discomfort important 7:00 - AI Alignment and it's roll in putting on the brakes9:15 - Individualism or "pick me" syndrome is not the same as critical thought10:01 - Humanity does not lie in ignorance12:14 - The rise of anti-intellectualism13:50 - The signs of anti intellectualism16:06 - Learned helplessness and the atrophy of AI Referenced links:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6lzvWby9UE- https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-ai-was-fed-sloppy-code-it-turned-into-something-evil-20250813/- https://www.livescience.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/openais-smartest-ai-model-was-explicitly-told-to-shut-down-and-it-refused - https://gizmodo.com/utopia-equals-dystopia-in-pluribus-apple-tvs-latest-sci-fi-standout-2000680460- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKSyWqcKing- https://www.politico.com/video/2016/02/donald-trump-i-love-the-poorly-educated-044575 - https://time.com/7295195/ai-chatgpt-google-learning-school/ Find me elsewhere: Listen to Grumpy Young Lady on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11FX5G68eYPdSlnrZYq7To?si=d9258268798b4b0aFind me elsewhere: https://linktr.ee/katebrunotts Spotify (Music): https://open.spotify.com/artist/1vV2HAeSNkp97JK2tPpEoN?si=WzRT4xYLTi6uQOG4mn2aiA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katebrunotts/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@katebrunotts

Massive Attack dares to say something in a performance. What a beautiful thing. Surveillance via Flock cameras, Ring, AI, etc. is kinda spooky. Blob tracking, Andy Warhol, and Noah Dillon all have their hand in aestheticizing our spooky world. Chapters:0:00 - Massive Attack, the Triphop legends behind Teardrop and Mezzanine0:18 - Facial recognition performance0:55 - The death of privacy 2:22 - Hypereal consequences3:19 - Art serves as a very important mirror4:11 - The cameras you can't escape5:03 - The rules no longer exist 6:02 - Home invasion6:11 - Recession art 6:57 - A lot of art is not challenging us 8:00 - Lady Gaga's Swine during Artpop9:07 - Surveillance art and digital critique 10:30 - Why you should care about your data and resisting the pantopticonReferenced Links: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDrfisZP-Us- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6UW4CFz71s- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp9MwZkHiMQ&t=281s - https://deflock.me/- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyjSl2aqUq0- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPRL2bFNKrk- https://ifa.nyu.edu/avitalmeshi/catalog.html - https://artbreath.org/coffee-talk/art-the-surveillance - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveillance_art - https://pitchfork.com/news/39905-watch-new-interactive-arcade-fire-video-for-we-used-to-wait/- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8fFj4-CKY8- https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgjdlx92lylo- https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/1l6qq94/why_should_i_care_that_my_online_activity_is/- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReIwYj7BACMListen to Kattle Considerations on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11FX5G68eYPdSlnrZYq7To?si=c10ebb89d0a842ff Find me elsewhere: https://linktr.ee/katebrunotts Spotify (Music): https://open.spotify.com/artist/1vV2HAeSNkp97JK2tPpEoN?si=vjGI6UlqSMa0G8ReQieLeQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katebrunotts/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@katebrunotts
