~ KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, AND SLEEP IS OVERRATED ~

Despite what the American Supreme Court would have you believe, corporations aren't actually people, but it turns out that companies can be just as stupid and irrational as any individual human. And when large corporations make mistakes, the consequences can range from hilarious to horrifying. 

From colorful beads that roofied kids to airbags that went boomsplode, these are the most notorious product recalls in history.

~ KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, AND SLEEP IS OVERRATED ~

Are robots dangerous? Is Artificial Intelligence destined to take over the world? 

The short answers: yes, and eventually. The robot apocalypse is inevitable. But there's no need to stress, because at least for now, machines are complete idiots. Anything that we currently refer to as "AI"--from Siri to Alexa to advanced machine-learning algorithms--are definitely artificial, but they aren't remotely intelligent. Listen to this episode to find out just how intelligent AIs aren't.
