Where do you leave your car keys at night? On the kitchen counter? By the front door? It turns out that where you keep your key fob when you're not driving could actually affect your car's battery. And the reason why is something most drivers probably never consider. https://www.northway.aaa.com/magazine/news/not-so-fob-ulous
Can you really fall in love with a chatbot? Apparently, some people do. Millions of people are turning to AI for companionship, emotional support, intimate conversations, and even romance. And why not? A chatbot is always available, never gets impatient, and seems genuinely interested in everything you have to say. But there's a troubling catch: It can sound like it cares about you without actually caring at all. So what happens when we begin forming deep emotional attachments to machines? Sherry Turkle joins me to explore the fascinating and sometimes disturbing world of artificial intimacy. She is a professor at MIT, founding director of the MIT Initiative on Technology and Self, and one of the world's leading experts on our relationship with technology. She is the author of Artificial Intimacy: Who We Become When We Talk to Machines (https://link.amazon/B00VbMErE).
There is something remarkably powerful about family. We feel an almost instinctive connection to the people we call family, even when those relationships are difficult, complicated, or downright dysfunctional. We say "blood is thicker than water," yet some of our strongest family bonds aren't based on blood at all. So what actually makes a family? Why do we need one? Meredith Small joins me to explore the surprising science and anthropology of family, how family relationships have evolved, and why our need to belong is such a fundamental part of being human. Meredith is a professor of anthropology at Cornell University and author of several books, including Family: How the Human Need for Belonging Shapes Our Lives (https://link.amazon/B0cjvakMw).
When you're struggling with a difficult decision or a problem you just can't solve, someone will inevitably suggest you "sleep on it." And there's good science behind that advice. But what if you could get some of the same benefits without actually going to sleep? Research suggests there may be a surprisingly simple way to help your brain find answers when you're stuck. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30388441/
