Digital Folklore Podcast

Woohoo!! Thanks so much to Apple for featuring us in the top carouse of @ApplePodcasts!! We’re super chuffed!

I (@PerryCarpenter) got to share my perspective on deepfakes and synthetic media in The Hill's opinion column today. In it, I discuss how synthetic media is challenging society's understanding of reality: thehill.com/opinion/techno…

"The Analog Loophole: When Low-Tech Tricks Trump High-Tech Security" - FAIK In FAIK, I explore a fascinating paradox of our AI-driven world: Sometimes you can defeat the most high tech systems using the stupidest low tech methods. This is the "analog loophole." Here's the mindset: "When they go high-tech, we go low-tech." 😉 🕳️ Analog loopholes in action: 📸 Teens outsmarting Snapchat's screenshot alert with a second phone 🎭 Basic disguises fooling sophisticated facial recognition 📱 Evading digital surveillance by embracing "dumb" devices 🗣️ "Algospeak" (coded language) slipping past AI content moderators These low-tech workarounds expose critical blind spots in our digital defenses. As I say in the book: "Remember: the best efforts of tech developers can often be thwarted by the stupidest of methods." 🤔 Questions to ponder: 🤔 👉 How can AI systems account for these analog tricks? 👉 What "old school" skills might become valuable in our high-tech future? 👉 Are we overlooking simple solutions in our rush to AI-ify everything? Have you ever used an "analog loophole" to outsmart a digital system? Share your story! Remember: Sometimes, to think outside the box, you need to step away from the screen. 📦➡️🌳 👉 Ordering info for FAIK: ThisBookIsFAIK.com #AnalogLoophole #AISecurity #DigitalLiteracy #FAIK #Cybersecurity #Hacking #AIEthics #DigitalDefense #LowTechHacks

@oldenoughtosay @digiFolklorePod Ah, hell, I’m sorry! I wonder if there’s transcripted versions available, @digiFolklorePod?

@vitriolrva @oldenoughtosay Thanks so much for the shout out!

@oldenoughtosay There’s a really great podcast called @digiFolklorePod that explores this exact topic, it’s one of my favs! They do some fantastic interviews with folklorists about it

@BTRadford Loved having you on!

I'm a guest on the new episode of @digiFolklorePod, talking about all sorts of fun stuff, from evil clown panics to skeptical investigations & myriad folkloric oddities. Check it out! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ben…

@CarmanCarrion It was on Amazon. No cover art yet, but the entry is there and open for orders!

Hey Freaky Folklore fans, I just wanted to say please hang in there. I just wrapped up my first book "Freaky Folklore: A Compendium of the World’s Most Frightening Monsters, Cryptids, and Beasts." The book will be on shelves June 2024. There may be a free give away in the future, so keep your eyes peeled. My stories may have suffered some and the numbers may have dropped but now I am back on my game. Thanks to all of you who continue to listen to Freaky Folklore and Destination Terror.

Fun clip and experiment from our most recent "After the Episode" discussion where we have a quick chat with #ChatGPT4. In short, the audio interface for the #ChatGPT mobile app is crazy realistic. pod.link/1657374458/epi… #folklore #digitalfolklore #ai #artificialintelligence

@roadmappodcast Ooooo!
