43: Trolls, Johnny Bananas, & AI Gone Wrong
04/07/16 • 48 min
Today we are talking about trolls of the online variety. We talk about what it's like to be trolled online about our appearances on MTV's The Challenge. We analyze the psychology of trolls, and discuss what kind of people would engage in this behavior. We discuss why robots and AI are struggling with trolls who try to make them believe anti-semitic ideas, and people are accidentally falling in love with machines. Plus, we talk about Sarah's upcoming season of The Challenge, Rivals 3, and what it's like being paired with Johnny Bananas.

Obviously, we kick back a couple during this very fun episode, and we learn a lot too. Sarah's husband, Landon, is the VP at Hundred Acre Wines, and gives us lots of food, er, wine for thought!

Next Episode
44: Race, White Privilege, & Passive Racism
This episode was inspired by a recent story about a news anchor who took to her Facebook page (which was connected to her company) and spouted off some prejudiced nonsense about a shooting in the Pittsburgh area. We discuss her post, my reaction to it on Facebook and the response of the public. Plus, we talk about how being on reality TV changed the way we saw privilege, race, and stereotyping. We discuss accidental racism, how we try to combat our own implicit biases, and more.
