  • TechCurrents talks AI and piracy with Tee Morris, part 1
    Welcome to Part 1 of Episode S1E10 of the Tech Currents podcast with your hosts, Sam Cavaliere and Ron Melanson. In this episode, Sam and Ron kick off with their segment, "LinkedIn Lunacy", diving into the current state of LinkedIn. They discuss the increasing prevalence of political content on the platform and question if it belongs on a professional networking site, noting issues with content filters. They highlight how posts can impact a job seeker's profile from a recruiter's perspective, and emphasize that content on the internet, especially LinkedIn, can "live forever". The discussion covers using LinkedIn for professional purposes versus treating it like other social media platforms for venting, and they critique non-professional content such as "give yourself a point" graphics and "glamour shots" or possibly AI-generated profile pictures that appear disconnected from the post content. They also briefly acknowledge Microsoft's 50th anniversary.   The episode then introduces their special guest, Tee Morris. Sam provides a detailed introduction, highlighting Tee's background as a pioneer in podcasting, notably being the first author to podcast an entire novel in 2005. His extensive work as a multi-talented author is mentioned, including the fantasy epic Morevi, co-authoring the Podcasting for Dummies series (now in its fifth edition), and the award-winning steampunk series The Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences. Tee's wife, Pip Ballentine, is also mentioned as an accomplished author, including her work on Alien novels. Beyond writing, T. Morris is recognized as a social media innovator and for his streaming activities on Twitch, playing games like Destiny, VR, and Magic: The Gathering. They discuss the origin of Tee's paranormal investigation show, Old Spirits Investigations, which began as a Twitch streaming game playing Phasmophobia during the pandemic. Tee shares insights into his current focus on content creation for Old Spirits Investigations and balancing his time. They share humorous anecdotes about playing games with their daughters and the "Twitch Dad" persona, acknowledging that older gamers still have skills. Sam states that Tee was brought on specifically to talk about tech, particularly AI and what is being used to train the language models.   However, due to the significant amount of quality content in their conversation, the hosts announce that the interview with Tee was too extensive for a single episode, and this recording is Part 1. The deeper dive into the discussion about AI training data, ethics, and related topics will continue in Part 2, which will be published shortly after Part 1.   Tee's Old Sprits Investigations Channel on YouTube can be located at https://www.youtube.com/@OldSpiritsInvestigations/featured   The Store for Old Sprits Investigations can be found at https://www.youtube.com/@OldSpiritsInvestigations/store   And Tee's Twitch Channel can be found at https://www.twitch.tv/theteemonster #TechPodcast #TechCurrents #Podcast #Episode #Technology #AI #MachineLearning #AITraining #LinkedInLunacy #SocialMedia #TeeMorris #Podcasting #Author #Twitch #OldSpiritsInvestigations  #Copyright #Piracy #IntellectualProperty  #FairUse #DigitalMedia #ContentCreation #SamCavaliere #RonMelanson #TechIndustry #PodcastLife
