In the first part of today’s show, we delved into how Reddit user content is being sold to an AI company in a massive $60M/year deal. Then we discussed how a simple cognitive tendency could have surprisingly profound implications for the spread of biased information. Finally, we explored recent findings showing that the blood of exceptionally long-lived people reveals key differences.
Today’s unpopular opinion: The overreliance on technology in education is hindering basic skills.
In the show’s second half, we asked 100 humans to name a way people used to kill time before cell phones. We also uncovered historical documents showing that Abraham Lincoln pardoned Biden’s great-great-grandfather. Furthermore, we discussed the Navy’s decision to lift the ban on sailors having their hands in their pockets.
