Are we in the middle of a modern day gold rush?
from Cost of Living
With gold prices reaching historic highs, more people are channeling their inner prospector. They're combing through thrift stores, estate sales — even riverbeds. Also on the show, why Canadians are choosing to pay out of pocket for minor car accidents rather than make an insurance claim. And with tech optimists and doomsayers predicting wildly different things from artificial intelligence, we talk to an AI realist who says it will be transformative (but just not yet).
