In this episode, cofounders Madisen and Renee break down their thoughts on the wild world of social media. 
Get ready for some real talk about the attention economy, hive mind mentality, and the differences between digital curation and creation. 

Welcome to The Thing! 
We&#39;re a nonprofit media studio making machine learning 
more human through stories and education. 
Think a chaotic good 4chan meets a more artistic Wikipedia, building a free digital commons for everyone. 
We&#39;re diving deep into AI with journalism, case studies, 
events, research, and more.
This is just the beginning. Join us!
