Ep. 404 - Climate Change, AI, The Odyssey

Sree Sreenivasan and Neil Parekh discussed the connection between climate change and the wildfires in Europe; critiques of Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey, including Emily Wilson’s response to the film; and recent AI coverage, including Anthropic and OpenAI tests showing how AI systems could break into computer networks.A viewer’s criticism of The New York Times prompted a broader conversation about perceived media bias, the distinction between news and opinion, the importance of supporting journalism and how credible news organizations respond when they make mistakes.Visit the episode page on the Digimentors website for several New York Times gift links related to the topics discussed.
