Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

November 19, 2025 — Interview with Roger McNamee — "Zucked," AI hype, and Moonalice
Q: How would you describe Silicon Valley today?
Silicon Valley has changed from being idealistic to predatory, using data and capital to exploit human weaknesses.
August 20, 2025 — Interview with Jason Steinhauer, Author of "History, Disrupted"
Q: Why do certain types of e-history seem to achieve more visibility and influence than others?
The e-history created by professional historians stands less of a chance of visibility than that created by non-professional historians due to algorithmic preferences and trends on social media.
August 20, 2025 — Interview with Jason Steinhauer, Author of "History, Disrupted"
Q: Can you explain the distinction between history and what you call e-history?
E-history takes elements of the past and condenses them into media products designed for visibility on social media, unlike traditional history which involves deeper analyses and interpretations of the past.
September 24, 2025 — “Predatory Data” — Interview with Anita Chan
Q: Can you give us a little background on what you've been researching and what goes into your book?
I am a feminist and decolonial scholar of science and technology studies, focusing on the impacts of technology in the Global South and the politics of Silicon Valley.
September 12, 2025 — Safeguarding Science from AI: An Interview with Olivia Guest and Iris van Rooij
Q: How did you come to the conclusion that these tools can open the door to pseudoscience?
The outputs of AI models can produce biased and incorrect results, making it appear as if proper research has been done while often it has not, which misleads the academic community.
