Credit Karma, Social Credit Scores and Podcasting 2.0
Adam Curry likens Credit Karma to a Chinese-style social credit score, suggesting it functions as a form of "digital slavery" by incentivizing specific financial behaviors. The conversation transitions to the Podcasting 2.0 initiative, which Curry describes as a necessary infrastructure project to protect the medium from corporate enclosure. John C. Dvorak compares the effort to preventing a "Big Dig" scenario for digital media.
