Before the World Wide Web, savvy computer users were flocking to USENET to participate in discussions on everything from the latest advance in computing to the worst jokes you could imagine. USENET is still around today. So what the heck is it?

Back in my day, computer games didn't have fancy graphics or immersive sound. They just had plain old text, and we liked it! We look at the origins of the text-based adventure game and how these games are a creative challenge to make.

Episode Introduction

In this episode, we are going to discuss the ELIZA effect -- a common psychological bias that emerges from interactions with language models.

The "ELIZA effect" refers to a phenomenon in human-computer interaction, wherein people attribute understanding and emotion to a computer program that simply follows predefined rules. This concept is named after an early natural language processing computer program developed at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory by Joseph Weizenbaum in the mid-1960s.

This Week in InfoSec (08:13)

With content liberated from the “today in infosec” Twitter account

29th October 1969: The first message sent over the ARPANET was from Leonard Kleinrock’s UCLA computer, sent by student programmer Charley Kline at 10:30 PM to the second node at Stanford Research Institute’s computer in Menlo Park, California.

The message was simply "Lo." But not on purpose.

25th October 2008: A 43-year-old woman in Japan was arrested after she hacked into the computer of the man she'd married in the online game MapleStory and erased his carefully constructed digital character after their relationship curdled.

Rant of the Week (18:18)

Why You Should Delete Your Facebook App

A stark new warning for almost all iPhone users, as Facebook is suddenly caught “secretly” harvesting sensitive data without anyone realizing. And worse, there’s no way to stop this especially invasive tracking other than by deleting the app.

Hey game-boys and game-girls (and game-other-gendered folks)! If you're like us, your first video game memories are with the O.G. Nintendo Entertainment System.

Also mentioned in this episode:

• Ben summarized his research on the Soviet network proposals for Aeon.

1995 was the year that ISPs became the dominant gateway to the information superhighway. But how’d we go from ARPANET all the way to that? It turns out, none of it would have happened without a team of intrepid engineers at the University of Michigan.

Marc Weber tells us how a tension between academics and the military set the next evolution of the ARPANET. Douglas Van Houweling discusses the work his MERIT team did at the University of Michigan to build the national backbone of the NSFNET. Elise Gerich, MERIT’s systems manager, talks about how they made the leap from a T1 connection to a T3 to handle traffic from their growing network. And Janet Abbate emphasizes how all this set the stage for the commercialized internet that birthed the dot-com boom in 1995.

The year is 1995. The internet starts going mainstream and the dot-com bubble begins its rapid inflation. But 10 years before all of this, a small team of systems administrators made a seemingly simple decision that would turn out to have a monumental impact on these events and would set the course of the internet for the foreseeable future. 

Dr. W. Joseph Campbell sets the stage for our season on the internet in 1995. Claire L. Evans explains how hard it was to find anything on the early internet. One team was charged with compiling that information in the early days of the ARPANET. Elizabeth “Jake” Feinler recounts being the internet’s sole librarian in those early days, and how she helped come up with the rules for future domain names. Paul Mockapetris describes designing the domain name system they later implemented as the internet went from a public network to a private business. And Ben Tarnoff explains the results of that increasingly privatized internet.

Recapitulando la versión anterior, los piratas hicieron un update de la no tan positiva situación del voto electrónico en el país. Pero para no dejar de lado a los clásicos personajes, nos presentaron a Douglas Engelbart, el tipo que inventó el mouse.  Ingeniero e inventor, impulsó el vínculo entre las capacidades intuitivas de la mente humana y las capacidades de procesamiento de las computadoras. The Mother of All Demos, uno de sus grandes hitos. Para cerrar, le dijeron adiós y hasta siempre a uno de los mejores trackers privados para descargar torrents.
