New Episode with guest Charlotte Henry and her new #book:

STREAMING WARS: How Getting Everything We Want Changed Entertainment Forever

We used to learn who someone was by looking at their record collection.

Walk into their home, scan the #vinyl on the shelves, and you'd know instantly— #Metallica fan, #jazz enthusiast, #Beatles completist.

Media was how we expressed ourselves without saying a word.

That's gone now.

You can't browse someone's #Netflix queue the way you could their DVD collection. Can't judge their #Kindle library like you could scan their bookshelf. Can't see their #Spotify playlist on a first date.

Journalist Charlotte Henry explores this shift—and so much more—in her new book "Streaming Wars: How Getting Everything We Want Changed Entertainment Forever."

In my latest Redefining #Society & #Technology Podcast episode, Charlotte and I discuss:

📺 Why the 2023 #Hollywood strikes mark streaming's most symbolic moment 🔄 The paradox: we cut the cord, but we're recreating cable #TV bundles

📊 How Netflix's most-watched content isn't what you think (hint: it's background shows)

🎭 The real economic impact on writers, actors, and below-the-line workers

🤖 Why AI might actually INCREASE the value of human-made work

🎵 From Metallica vs. Napster to today's streaming economy

We're living through a massive media transformation. Charlotte captures this exact moment—before everything changes again.

New Discussion Paper on "Dynamics of Data Work in AI Implementation Processes":

In their study, Lea Schneidemesser, Daniel Schneiß, and Jana Heim investigate the role of data work in the implementation of #AI systems in traditional industries, exploring the labor and power dynamics embedded in these processes.

Public Projects Don’t Equal Safe Platforms

https://blog.kalvin.my/kalvin/public-posts-safe-platforms-a-closer-look-at-yggdrasil-bittorrent-and

Publishing code or projects in public doesn’t guarantee safety. Yggdrasil, Mycelium, and BitTorrent are powerful tools, but without accountability and ethical intent, they risk becoming harmful spaces. Tech reflects its builders — openness must be matched with responsibility.

Commentary on PS’ IPv6 Mail/Flarum Work

PS recently wrote about their fork of Flarum to support email addresses with IPv6 hosts, alongside testing integration with Postfix, Dovecot, and DeltaChat over Yggdrasil/Mycelium networks. This is genuinely interesting technical work — niche but valuable for those experimenting in alternative network ecosystems.

At the same time, some concerns arise:

Registration system: They allow any “fake” email address to bypass verification. While this lowers barriers to participation, it also opens the door to spam, abuse, and impersonation.
Stability & safety: The reliance on IPv6 literals and decentralized DNS raises questions about long-term reliability and the potential for misconfigurations that affect users.
Wellbeing & trust risks: If community accountability is weak, these technical systems could be misused in ways that harm others — especially in anonymous or loosely moderated spaces.

Independent observers should evaluate both the technical promise and the social risks of such experiments.

In the era of likes and followers, the paradox is served: difficulty in feeling seen, heard, and interconnected. AI is configured as a new scenario to the rescue of loneliness.

AI won’t kill literature, it’ll just colonise the middle ground where most writing lives. From calligraphy to photography to synthesisers, every “threat” to the arts created more art. The monasteries will remain.
