Summary

Kashmir Hill: gin & tonic New York Times technology reporter Kashmir Hills explains the incredible and horrifying implications of AI and facial recognition, the pair of eyeglasses developed by Meta that can instantly tell you EVERYTHING about a person just by glancing at them, what Oppenheimer and Heather Douglas meant by “technical sweetness”, how we might live in a new world of technology that allows people “no fresh starts”, and what she misses most from the 1980s that she would like to have back.

0:00.0	Dedicated is expanding. We are now filming our segments. We are doing some slick new video inside
0:06.0	the Sirius XM studios. So if you want to see me fixing the cocktails and having conversations
0:10.7	with our awesome guests, go to YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or the Sirius XM app, and you can
0:16.5	see us in studio. Welcome to Dedicated with Doug Brunt.
0:22.1	You have just gained access to an exclusive insider's look at the lives and works of some of your favorite authors and hear conversations with the world's greatest writers as they discuss their writing lifestyle, creative process, latest work, and behind-the-scenes revelations.
0:41.3	Welcome to Dedicated. I'm your host Doug Brunt. Today we're talking with Kashmir Hill.
0:45.3	Kashmir is a technology reporter for The New York Times. She's also written for Forbes,
0:49.7	above the law, The New Yorker, Popular Science, and many other places, and she studied journalism and
0:54.9	magazine writing under our prior guest, Merrill Gordon. One of Kashmir's missions in life is to
1:00.1	chronicle the fate of privacy in the modern age, and we should all be glad she's on the front
1:05.1	lines of explaining what's happening. Her new book, Your Face Belongs to Us, is an eye-opening blend of, on the one
1:13.1	hand, optimism for how AI and facial recognition could be used for good. And on the other hand,
1:19.9	the horror of how it could be used for evil. And I can't wait to talk with her about it. Cashmere,
1:24.5	welcome to the show. Thank you so much for having me. This is exciting. I've really been looking forward to this one. And as we settle in and get
1:31.5	started, we are going to solve the issues of good and bad with tech in the future over a gin and
1:37.3	tonic. Oh, excellent. So I'll start getting those when we settle in. That's how the world's
1:41.5	problems are best solved. Exactly. I mean, this clearly seems like the best way to do it.
1:48.0	Okay.
1:48.7	It's not going to be a huge genitone.
1:50.5	Okay.
1:51.0	Well, it is.
1:52.5	It is midday, and I'll have to work after this.
