Gen Z skips the DMV / Would AI tell you when you’ll die? / Can you really pick up an accent?
From News Sidequest · 10:00
Show by Keith Conrad
Fewer teens are getting driver’s licenses. Federal data shows about 1 in 4 16-year-olds is licensed now, down from about half in 1983, and cost is a big reason. Also: The Atlantic asks the question you probably don’t want to ask AI, so we look at what an AI model trained on six million Danes can and can’t predict about when you’ll die. And a new Ohio State study says picking up an accent is less automatic than most people think. Plus faking enthusiasm at work, the Pentagon’s latest UFO files, why a deadly fungus is so hard to treat, and an orphaned walrus’s long flight to Florida. Hosted on Acast.
