Creating Fake Memories, Owning Up to Fake News, and Reviving the Dead for Profit with Jen Campbell, Jason Kapadia and Jag Sharma #75

Can the dead not just stay dead anymore?

Whether it’s a tasteful cameo or a lifeless cash-grab, there’s very little stopping old likenesses from making new content, and that’s at the heart of one of this week’s biggest topics on Disconnected…

Join us as we debate digital zombies, creating fake memories with the new Pixel 9, and the responsibility you take for the misinformation you reshare on social media.

SPOILER WARNING: This episode contains spoilers for newly-released Alien: Romulus from 2:30 to 5:30, and light spoilers for Prometheus around 7:40.

This episode of Disconnected covers:
