Between the floods in NY and New England, the vast and historic heat wave across the Southwest, Canadian forest fire smoke creating historically bad air quality, and the earth having multiple back-to-back hottest days in recorded history all over the past month, you might not think climate change is still an issue. But, you’d be wrong. Still, a LOT has changed in how Americans think about it since Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth made it a mainstream issue.
Next, voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Hey Google are in many American homes. We use them to turn on lights, check the baby, play some music, and add groceries to the list. They are the most ubiquitous form of AI but is this price of convenience a big threat to our privacy? Drew Prindle @GonzoTorpedo is a Senior Features Editor @DigitalTrends and joins the pod to answer that, and other questions that Siri and Alexa won't.
Finally, the fun fact is pretty simple. How many pairs of shoes do Americans own? Is it sexist for Jay to think he knows how this will stack up by gender? Or is it sexist for society to force women to need so many shoes... We'll stop there.
