Description
#Socialdilemma #AI #NepaliPodcast #Ep14 Contrary to their own words, the makers of 'The Social Dilemma' relentlessly paint a picture that shouts one-sided gloom and doom. The highly dramatized documentary was released on Netflix this September and we wouldn't really blame you if you missed it. It is, after all, only one in a long list of putative eye-openers—The Creepy Line, Terms and Agreements May Apply, The Great Hack, to name a few. All with the same broad message—there is more to social media than connecting like-minded people. In this episode, we present our take on the documentary and the possible ramifications of such algorithmic recommendation engines on the Nepali society. We have barely seen the tip of the iceberg of the intolerance and polarization that can be bred through the social media platforms we find our lives so intertwined with—hopefully, we never have to. And what does it take to prepare yourself for that? All of that in this episode. Disclaimer: All the views and arguments are our own, some well-informed, some less so.

Rape. Say it out loud. RAPE. What do we know about rape? That it is probably the most atrocious act a (de)human is capable of? That 2019/20, on average, saw about 6 cases of rapes reported every day in Nepal? That we live in a society that treats the victims of rapes as 'damaged goods'—that is if...
