It was great to be back on Download This Show. In this episode, we chatted all about GoCatch vs Uber, space junk, and more AI.

GoCatch, an Australian taxi company, is taking Uber to court, claiming the ride-sharing company specifically targeted them and tried to destroy their business. Is it all a classic case of sour grapes from GoCatch? Well, as you’ll hear, the evidence is actually quite compelling.

When a chunk of “space junk” hits Earth, who is responsible for it? Who pays for it? Who gets to keep it? After a piece of metal landed in Florida, questions about the rules for disposing of materials in space have been raised.

It’s been a long time coming, but the Meta powers that be have decided it’s finally time to start labelling things made with AI as just that. Transparency around digitally altered and AI content on social media is a huge issue for social media platforms, especially in the lead-up to the US election.
