AI Is Coming for the Executives & Why Standing Out Is Harder Than We Think

Today’s unpopular opinion was: most people want to fit in more than stand out. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: name something people do just because everyone else does.

Spider-Man Ads in Your Car? Plus, Would You Abuse Power?

AI Is Destroying Books? Google Earth's Deepfake Disaster & Are We Really Open-Minded?

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at how AI companies are scanning books on a massive scale, and why one bookseller initially dismissed a huge request as spam before discovering what was really happening. Then we discussed Google Earth's new AI image generation feature, which was quickly overwhelmed after users began creating fake images of natural disasters. Today’s unpopular opinion was: no one is as open-minded as they think they are. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: name something that people often change their opinions about.

Then we discussed the growing trend of solitude as an aspirational lifestyle and asked whether spending more time alone really means people are becoming lonelier.
