Refreshed Ethan Blake

This bonus episode details my thinking on some research I am doing on how technology exploits our natural tendencies. This is more or less a supplement to a presentation I made about the tactics employed by Big Tech to keep us on our devices, why they do it, and how users can limit their effects. Here's a link to the video: https://youtu.be/9rXkTxpLp-s (there may be some issues with how it was recorded, so here's a link to the presentation itself- https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1zcMVnhrvcApk_Je46B01XaGxzvRUu96SZpT7w_RAEoI/edit?usp=sharing There is no audio but you can still see the notes for the slides.)

Here, I looked at what incentives companies have to integrate ethical design choices in their products and how they can do so.

Sorry about the audio quality on this; I was not able to use the same mic that I was using previously, which led to some issues.

In the premiere episode of the Refreshed Podcast, Ethan investigates cancel culture and how it is amplified online.
