In the first part of today’s show, we delved into an intriguing discovery where DNA extracted from Beethoven’s hair revealed some unexpected facts 200 years after his death. Then, we explored how OpenAI’s latest artificial intelligence is breaking new ground by simulating entire worlds. Finally, we discussed the unusual situation where Air Canada must adhere to a refund policy that was mistakenly created by the airline’s own chatbot.

Today’s unpopular opinion challenged the relevance of physical books in our digital age.

In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans to name their favorite type or genre of book. Later we looked into a unique phenomenon taking root in Japan: a YouTube Church offering ASMR Bible readings, complete with female mascots.
