    Roundtable: That's AI, The End of Oak Street, and Student Literacy Rates

    Three Big Conversations: Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor debut their new dinosaur movie - 02:32 "that's AI" is the ultimate burn from Gen Alpha - 14:22 how one teacher found a way to get his students reading again. - 29:30 Resource of the Week: Podcast Episode - How to Do What We Do - 00:58 → Click here to listen to our episode on: Educating Humans in the Age of AI (with Professor Jeffrey Bilbro) In Other News: - 43:00 This week in AI: In light of concerns about romantic involvement with chatbots, "ChatGPT for Teens" is being marketed as a homework helper that limits "the emotional and intimate exchanges between young people and AI." Robbie Torney from Common Sense Media argues that we should remain cautious until we have actual evidence that these features have been turned off. This week in dopamine: South Korean websites like "Dopamine Shop" and "FoodNeverComes" allow users to "pay" for clothes or food, and still feel like they're getting "retail therapy," without having to spend any money (because the products aren't real). This week in arson: "Prediction market" Polymarket has enabled users to bet on the outcome of wildfires, which historian Jamie Pietruska rightly labels as a "perverse incentive." This week in fabric: The word "polyester" has become a new way for Gen Z to call something out as low-quality or cheap.

    Roundtable: Hoodies, Back to School, and the "No Influencers" Sign

    Three Big Conversations: Back to school season is officially upon us - 11:42 Hoodies are the new T-shirt for Gen Z - 23:31 A store in Nantucket's "No Influencers" sign sparks a debate - 35:26 Song of the Week: "oh yeah?" by Steve Lacy (language) - 1:00 → Click here to read the lyrics In Other News: - 46:10 Spotify will add an "AI Persona" label on AI artists. In addition to flagging AI-generated content for users, these personas will be excluded from the company's algorithmic recommendations. The summer box office has earned $4 billion for the second time since COVID, thanks to hits like Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Odyssey, and other blockbusters. Olivia Rodrigo played for a crowd of 1,000 in Brooklyn last week. Tickets were purchased at the box office that day for only $25. Compare this to her ticket prices for The Unraveled Tour (up to $1,100). Some grandparents have taken to unknowingly gifting their grandkids AI-generated slop books, to the consternation of many parents. A new rom-com, One Night Only, imagines a world where Congress has outlawed premarital sex. But for one night a year, the ban is lifted.

    Roundtable: Spider-Man, Ariana Grande, and Hank Green

    Three Big Conversations: Ariana Grande announces a break from public life - 7:56 history writer and influencer Hank Green faces backlash for using AI tools - 22:08 Spider-Man: Brand New Day has a wild opening weekend - 33:02 Slang of the Week: Larping - 00:58 In Other News: - 47:40 The current owners of Myspace (Tim and Chris Vanderhook) announced that they plan to relaunch the classic social media platform, though they did not say when. Let the record reflect that we are on the edge of our seats. According to the Wall Street Journal, this summer's "hottest drink" is officially a bottle of water. Try some today for $6!Vogue, on the other hand, has argued that the drink of the summer is "banana-milk coffee." And right behind that one: durian-mustard maté. Netflix is getting sued for $105 million for losing an unencrypted copy of Nicolas Cage's WWII film Fortitude. Kind of like we might lose a few subscribers after that obscure fruit-caffeine joke in point three. Finally, Christianity Today agrees with us that Instagram Plus is really just Instagram Minus.
