Driving a Stick in the Age of AI

In the Venn diagram of TV shows that appeal to me and my wife and to our two kids, the middle overlapping part is pretty sparse. But The Amazing Race is one of those shows. American teams of two compete for $1,000,000 in a race around the world. Each episode consists of frantic travel, challenges to accomplish, communication in a language not one’s own, and lots of stress-induced relationship drama.This show is in its 37th season—thirty seven seasons—and yet, there are still contestants on this show who show up unprepared. I don’t mean they packed the wrong outerwear or they don’t know how to read a map (though, let’s be honest, there is some of that, too).What I mean is that if they have watched any of the show’s 37 previous seasons, they know that at some point during the race, they’re going to be asked to drive a rental car outside of North America. And you know what that means? This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit chapainsights.substack.com/subscribe
