    How much should we entrust our dating to AI?

    When you use dating apps, there’s a lot of pressure to make an impression in the mere moments you have before someone decides whether you’re worth the effort.  So, as frustrating as it can be, we understand that there’s a fair bit of truth-bending involved in finding love online: Like pictures with really flattering angles or exaggerations of interests. All’s fair in love and/or exciting-but-sometimes-brief-and-often-regretted romance. But is it fair if someone’s using AI to make basic conversation? A growing number of daters report asking ChatGPT – or one of a flurry of new “AI dating assistant” startups – to craft questions and answers on dating apps. Was that witty repartee in your DMs generated by a bot? How much has dating been co-opted by digital wingmen, and what does it mean for the future of digital romance?  Guest: Henry Chandonett, reporter for Business Insider Relevant Links: Business Insider: The Rise of the AI Wingman The Guardian: ‘I realised I’d been ChatGPT-ed into bed’: how ‘Chatfishing’ made finding love on dating apps even weirder See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Reflecting on the legacy of Eddie Bauer

    The retail operator for Eddie Bauer’s North American stores has filed for bankruptcy. Depending on how things turn out, the outdoor gear brand could see the closure of nearly 200 stores across the United States and Canada. The Seattle Times also reports that the company's store operator plans to close its headquarters in Seattle and lay off 60 workers.  This isn’t the first sign of trouble for the Seattle-based business, which faced bankruptcy proceedings in 2003 and 2009.  This latest filing won’t affect the company’s wholesale, manufacturing or online operations -- so it’s not like the brand’s going away completely. But the news still feels pretty big….  Because once upon a time, not too long ago, Eddie Bauer was a premiere spot for outdoor gear. It outfitted the first American to summit Mount Everest.   And there was a time when it was quite the fashion statement to walk into work with an Eddie Bauer puffer.  As the company faces an uncertain future, we decided to reflect on its legacy.  Guests:  Clara Berg, a fashion historian and Curator of Collections at MOHAI.

    Nike's under investigation for allegedly discriminating against white people

    Like many private companies, Nike has implemented diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in its workplace. The Trump Administration has long been a vocal critic of such policies. On the first day of his second term, President Trump signed an executive order, titled “Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing.“ The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission recently disclosed it's investigating Nike for “systemic allegations of DEI-related intentional race discrimination” against white workers. Nike does have regional ties – with headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. But... this is Nike: “Just Do It” and Air Jordans. We’re talking about a global entity, and this investigation could have wide ranging implications for employment practices nationwide.

    Evictions cases continue to rise in King County, even as rents stay relatively flat

    Eviction cases hit an all time high in King County last year. It’s the latest data point in an ongoing trend. Since the Covid era eviction moratorium ended in 2022, the number of people facing eviction proceedings has risen every year. This is happening even as rents have remained relatively flat.  Hanging over all of this is budget tightening in Olympia state lawmakers are planning a multi million dollar cut to legal assistance for tenants.  Are we at a crisis point when it comes to the number of evictions in our state?
