In this episode of TechWatch Radio, Jay Harrison and Sam Bushman dive into social media’s return to its roots as Instagram experiments with college-only networking features—eerily reminiscent of Facebook’s early days. They explore how shifting privacy norms and generational habits shape what people share online, and why Meta’s latest move may be more about countering TikTok than student life.
The discussion then turns to YouTube Music’s 10-year milestone, its push to challenge Spotify, and what that says about the future of audio versus video platforms. Jay and Sam also tackle a sobering lawsuit against OpenAI, where parents allege ChatGPT contributed to their son’s tragic death, sparking a broader debate on AI’s role, responsibility, and the fine balance between privacy and safety. Wrapping up, they preview next week’s conversation: could your own podcast someday compete with you, cloned by AI?
