TheESP – Ep. #455 – AI Jesus

We start with some reflections on COP29 and then we send our big congratulations to Richard Saunders on receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award from the Australian Skeptics. Well deserved indeed! Another well deserved but shameful award goes to King Charles who received the New Zealand Skeptics’ Bent Spoon Award. In TWISH we look back at the founding of the Royal Society all the way back in 1660. Then, it’s time for the news: INTERNATIONAL: Measles cases at a massive surge GERMANY: Court ruling states that informed consent is important when using SCAM NORWAY: Update: true con artists – the Princess and the Shaman have not paid the suppliers for their wedding AUSTRIA: Finalists of the Golden Board announced SWITZERLAND: Deus in machina: Swiss church installs AI-powered Jesus This week’s Really Wrong Award goes to the Dutch minister of Education Eppo Bruins for his plans to slash education funding.
