  • The End of a Netflix Era is in the Mail

    The End of a Netflix Era is in the Mail
    Apr 25 2023
    After twenty-five years, Netflix is ending its DVD-by-mail business. Will anyone wax poetic about its demise? We talk about the most surprising thing of all - that the DVD rental business still existed in 2023 - and we share fond memories of being able to sell still-wrapped pieces of outdated media. We also look at the other notable piece of Netflix news: the password-sharing crackdown is nigh. We try to make sense of how this will work for college students, road warriors, and everyone else with valid (and roaming) use cases. We also talk a bit more about HBO and share our picks of our favorite listener-submitted titles for the new Warner Bros. Discovery app.

  • Synthetic Grandma, Powered by AI

    Synthetic Grandma, Powered by AI
    Apr 18 2023
    HBO Max is no longer called HBO Max. With all the options at their fingertips, the new idea Warner Bros. Discovery came up with was… Max. There are bigger problems in the TV and streaming space than what to name a new service, though. We discuss. Seth has run into more issues with technology that may or may not be artificial intelligence. Shelly talks about how to define intelligence and how tools like ChatGPT work, think, and reason. Meanwhile, companies are talking about transferring consciousness from people into machines to make synthetic grandmas… by the end of this year? We talk about the reality of this promise (and how it sounds like the plot of the show Upload). Seth rants about MLB.tv. Shelly poses a challenge to you, dear Techstream listener.

  • Twitter vs. the Media

    Twitter vs. the Media
    Apr 11 2023
    The war between Elon Musk and journalists rages on, and Seth (as a broadcaster and journalist) is taking these attacks against the media personally. This episode is (once again) about Twitter as we (once again) try to make sense of the changes and decisions being made at Twitter HQ. We discuss Twitter and the anonymity business, the different forms of verification, and the confusion surrounding blue checks on the platform. As there really are no true 1:1 replacements, we also offer tips on how to best use Twitter and ensure that the information you are seeing is as accurate and fact-checked as possible.
