单集简介 ...

This week, Character.AI announced that it would soon be taking its A.I. companions away from teens. We explain why this is a major development in the world of chatbots and child safety and how we expect other companies to respond. Then, Elon Musk has built a Wikipedia clone called “Grokipedia.” We discuss what it means for the control of knowledge on the web. And finally, we’re joined by A.J. Jacobs to talk about his 48-hour experiment in which he tried to avoid all forms of artificial intelligence. We ask why that led him to collect rainwater and forage for food in Central Park. Guests: A.J. Jacobs, author, journalist and host of the podcast “The Puzzler”  Additional Reading:  Character.AI to Bar Children Under 18 From Using Its ChatbotsElon Musk Challenges Wikipedia With His Own A.I.

  • Hi, it's Alexa Waibel from New York Times Cooking.

  • We've got tons of easy weeknight recipes, and today I'm making my five-ingredient creamy miso pasta.

  • You just take your starchy pasta water,

  • whisk it together with a little bit of miso and butter until it's creamy,

  • add your noodles and a little bit of cheese.

  • Hmm.

  • It's like a grown-up box of mac and cheese that feels like a restaurant-quality dish.

  • New York Times Cooking has you covered with easy dishes for busy weeknights.

  • You can find more at nytcooking.com.

  • Well, I wonder if you saw this, you know, I keep very close tabs on celebrity news, Kevin.

  • I know you do.

  • And in particular, I'm always interested,

  • has any hard-fought guest sort of entered the world of celebrity?

  • Because that's always very exciting for me.

  • It is.

  • And this week, it was officially confirmed that Katy Perry, the pop star,

  • is dating one-time hard-fought guest and former Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau.

  • I was wondering where you were going with that.

  • I'm not sure I would put hard fork guest on Justin Trudeau's at the top of his resume.

  • To my parents, that is the main way that Justin Trudeau is known, is as a hard fork guest.
