    FULL EPISODE: Robot Rescue Snakes - July 30, 2026

    On It's Time For Technology Time, tech analyst Carmi Levy covers the following stories: Sources say OpenAI failed to notice for a week that one of its AI agents had spent days hacking a company; Robot snakes searched for Venezuela earthquake survivors in collapsed buildings; and eBay reaches a $56M settlement with e-commerce newsletter writers that it terrorized in 2019. Astrobiologist Sarah Rugheimer flips everything you thought you knew about our own Milky Way galaxy by revealing how it appears to have flipped 90 degrees long ago. See what we did there? (Check out Sarah's course Experiencing James Webb on The Great Courses here.) Organizational scientist Matt Poepsel discusses the Gen-Z leadership crisis: how younger people feel misjudged and underutilized, with 62% being passed over due to skill misperceptions. Psychology professor Paul Eastwick – co-host of the Love Factually podcast – talks about 'The Friend Zone', the trope that if men seem too nice and if they're friends with women, they will be taken advantage of. (Check out Paul's book Bonded by Evolution here.) Clinical psychologist specializing in sex therapy Marianne Brandon warns that AI agents are coming for your sex life, and explains how the next frontier of sex tech will be even more personal. (Listen to more of Marianne on The Sex Doctors Podcast here.)
