ICYMI - AI Is Changing How We Have Sex

As sex becomes more online, not only does it become more solitary, but also more surveilled. For instance: Back in December, OpenAI announced that they’d allow adult users to have erotic conversations with ChatGPT. On today’s encore episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by porn historian Noelle Perdue [https://www.instagram.com/all_day_breakfast_/?hl=en], author of the Porn World [https://noelleperdue.substack.com/] newsletter. While advances in AI and sex surveillance are intended to divide us, Noelle is confident that AI’s attempted sex-takeover will fail.  This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay, with help today from Kevin Bendis.  Get tickets to our live show here [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/slate-presents-the-creator-revolution-a-live-podcast-show-tickets-1992600595019?aff=oddtdtcreator]! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - Bad History Will Kill America

The Supreme Court just wrapped the term with a blitz of extremely consequential decisions, and the smoke hasn’t cleared yet. (In fact, it’s looming like a dark storm cloud over our Fourth of July and America 250th festivities…) In this week’s episode, cohosts Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern focus on two of the term’s bleakest legacies: first, the court’s catastrophically bad use of history and second, the demise of independent agencies. They discuss the court’s 6–3 decision in Trump v. Slaughter, which was rooted in shoddy originalism and reckless disregard for how an accountable democratic government actually functions. Meanwhile, the dissenters in Trump v. Barbara would have weaponized bogus history to end birthright citizenship for millions.  To unpack this, Dahlia and Mark sit down with two law professors: Sam Bagenstos [https://michigan.law.umich.edu/faculty-and-scholarship/our-faculty/samuel-r-bagenstos] of the University of Michigan and a former general counsel at the Department of Health and Human Services, and Jed Shugerman [https://www.bu.edu/law/profile/jed-handelsman-shugerman/] of Boston University (whom Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson cited this week). They deconstruct the myriad ways in which the high court ultimately embarrassed itself, history, and truth, with decisions that will affect millions of Americans for years to come.

What Next: TBD | Tech, power, and the future - Diving In | How Food Delivery Killed Competition (And Took Your Budget With It)

Thanks for joining us during the holidays. White our team is taking a break, we want to share a series with you that we think you’ll love. It’s called Diving In.  Getting food delivered should be simple — but somehow it's gotten outrageously expensive. Economist Justin Wolfers breaks down why food delivery apps like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub make it nearly impossible to compare prices, and why that's no accident.  Subscribe on YouTube https://youtube.com/platypuseconomics [https://youtube.com/platypuseconomics] Subscribe on Substack https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com [https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/] Follow on Social Media @PlatypusEconomics and @JustinWolfers ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
