    Can millennials unscrew themselves? Part 5

    Can millennials unscrew themselves? Part 5

    There are no easy answers to undoing all the problems driving intergenerational inequality but hope is not lost. Young Australians are increasingly politically influential, making up 43% of voters at the last federal election.

AI and News

I have just finished listening to ‘the growing threat AI poses to journalism’ informative and scary. A call to arms!
Some time back a Best of MSN Australia (Start Unfold) appeared in my emails - unrequested. Sky News and other Murdoch stuff was included in the mix - it had me wondering.
After I heard how Microsoft used AI, I unsubscribed.
I’ll stick to getting my news from The Guardian, Schwartz Media and the like.
Thanks

Stories that divide

I previously unfollowed this show and rejoined again more recently. I’m again unfollowing this show having realized yet again why I did so last time. It’s stories have a tendency to be opinionated in a way that’s divisive. Skewed to tribalism instead of impartiality to be impactful. It’s sad to see this form of journalism coming into podcasts when it was already a thing of the mainstream media that people like myself avoided. No wonder the world is in such a state of mental health concerns and eco chambers facilitate divisive rhetoric.
