Entrepreneur Perspectives

Unscripted | We Have an Overconsumption of Media Problem!

July 25, 2023

Listen

Jared and Eric ask whether constant feeds, endless sequels, and an expanding supply of disposable content have created an overconsumption problem. The conversation connects everyday media habits to the 2023 Hollywood writers’ strike, generative AI, and questions about copyright and creative work.

They also look beyond media to the future of cities: shifting demographics, the appeal of secondary markets, what earlier civilizations can teach us, and why access to water matters. Other topics include:

  • The crack in the roller coaster at Carowinds
  • Sarah Silverman is coming for OpenAI and Meta (and Google Bard is loving every second of it!)
  • The trials and tribulations of customer service
  • 2023’s record-breaking summer heat
  • The amusing irony of gym parking lots
  • Alarming incidents of alligator and shark attacks
  • The impact of climate change and weather cycles
  • Arizona’s millennial drought
  • The Northwestern football hazing scandal

Oh and coming up next time on Saviors of the Metaverse, we will discuss: parents hiring $4,000 sorority consultants (WSJ), sharenting is the new parenting (to some), and weaponization of information congressional hearings.
