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

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at Visa’s latest round of AI-related layoffs, including executives reportedly earning nearly $500,000 a year, and what the cuts might tell us about how automation is reshaping even highly paid jobs. 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?

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at BMW's decision to put Spider-Man advertisements on drivers' dashboards, despite previously promising it would never introduce ads into its vehicles. We discussed what this could mean for the future of in-car technology and whether drivers should expect even more advertising behind the wheel.

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.

AI Disclosure Laws, the Joy of Solitude, and Are We All Selfish?

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at new EU rules requiring AI chatbots, virtual receptionists, and AI-generated media to clearly reveal that they are not human. 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. Today’s unpopular opinion was: most people are fundamentally selfish. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: name something people don't like to share.
