In todays ep, Daryl is joined by broadcaster and tech commentator Jonathan McCrae to discuss Thinky—his new algorithm-free social network built as an antidote to modern digital noise. Together, they explore:
- Building Thinky: Why Jonathan built an independent, algorithm-free platform with no AI content, video streams, or data tracking.
- The Decay of Social Media: How mainstream platforms shifted from fostering community to driving algorithmic outrage and self-promotion.
- Human-Centric Design: Why real-name verification and chronological feeds offer a path back to polite, meaningful online conversation.
- AI & Persistent Botnet Risks: The alarming technical hazards of autonomous AI “subtasking” and its potential impact on global financial infrastructure.
