Your Virginity Is in Your DNA, AI Teachers Are Here, Grandma Defeats the Liquor Police | TMI Ep 423
from The TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan
Could your DNA influence when you lose your virginity—and even how well you age? Is a humanoid robot in the classroom the next educational tool, or the first step toward outsourcing our humanity? Plus, an 82-year-old grandmother takes on government bureaucracy for the right to enjoy happy hour, and Amazon accidentally tells customers they owe... trillions of dollars.On today's TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan:🧬 Could your genes predict your first sexual experience? We dive into fascinating new research examining hundreds of thousands of genomes that suggests genetics may play a role in when people become sexually active—and whether that timing is associated with health decades later. Correlation isn't causation, but the science raises some provocative questions.🤖 The AI classroom has officially arrived. A $57,000 humanoid robot named Sally is headed into a New York high school to help teach students. Supporters call it the future of education. We ask the bigger question: if AI is already replacing entry-level jobs, what happens when children begin forming relationships with human-like machines?🍷 Team Grandma wins. Anita LeBrun, 82, wasn't asking for much—just the ability to enjoy a glass of wine with friends at her assisted living facility. Instead, she found herself fighting outdated liquor laws, ultimately convincing lawmakers to change the rules. Sometimes the most effective lobbyist carries a wine glass instead of a briefcase.☁️ Amazon's trillion-dollar typo. AWS customers opened their accounts to discover bills ranging from billions to more than $1.5 trillion after a software configuration error. Nobody actually owed the money—but the incident is a sobering reminder that the cloud runs much of modern life, and even tiny technical mistakes can create massive panic.Smart analysis. Bigger questions. Stories that matter.New episodes weekdays at 10:00 a.m. ET.
