The summer I turned binge-y

On the eve of Netflix shoveling a fourish-hour chunk of Stranger Things onto Christmas Day, we visit the past, present, and future of binge-dropped television shows. The strategy of releasing an entire season at the same time has been key to taking Netflix from a little startup that used to lend us DVDs in the mail … to a company so big and powerful, it is maybe going to buy Warner Brothers and own Bugs Bunny and Tony Soprano and the Harry Potter movies.But even Netflix may be flirting with some slightly less binge-y models of content release. Are we entering … the end of the binge drop?On our latest: what data tells us about binge watching. Was it the greatest business decision, and who does binge watching really benefit? Here’s some of the research.

What AI data centers are doing to your electric bill

As a country, we are spending more to get data centers up and running than we spent to build the entire interstate highway system. (Yes, that’s inflation-adjusted.) With tech companies spending hundreds of billions of dollars on AI, data centers have kind of become the thing in the US economy. But along with that growth have come a lot of questions. Like where is all the electricity to run these data centers supposed to come from? And how much are residential customers’ electric bills increasing as a result?On today’s episode, we go to Ohio to trace one electric bill back to its source, to see what exactly is causing the big price increases people are seeing. We take a tour of a data center hot spot, and get to the bottom of how prices are set from inside the power company.Related episodes: - Asking for a friend … which jobs are safe from AI? - No AI data centers in my backyard! - What $10 billion in data centers actually gets you - Is AI overrated or underrated? - Green energy gridlockPre-order the Planet Money book and get a free gift. / Subscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.Today's show was hosted by Keith Romer and Jeff Guo.

When Chicago pawned its parking meters

In 2008, Chicago’s budget was in a bad place. The city needed money. One way to raise money was to increase property taxes, but what politician wants to do that? So instead, Mayor Richard M. Daley’s administration looked around at the resources the city had, and thought, ‘Any of this worth anything?’ They opted to lease out the city’s metered parking system — to privatize all 36,000 of its parking meters. The plan: have private companies bid on operating the meters, modernizing the system, and keeping the profits for a certain number of years. In exchange, they would give Chicago a big lump sum payment. The winning bid was $1.16 billion dollars for a 75-year lease. Today’s episode is the story of how that bid got put together, and how it came to be hated. There are kidnapped parking meters, foot chases through City Hall, and trash bags filled with secret documents.

Strange threadfellows: How the U.S. military shaped what we all wear

From nuclear fission to GPS to the internet, it’s common knowledge that many of the most resource intensive technologies of the last century got their start as military R&D projects in government-funded labs. But as Avery Trufelman explains in her fashion history podcast, Articles of Interest, the influence of the US military is, in many ways, even more intimate than that, shaping much of the clothing we all wear everyday. On today’s show, a tale of Army surplus economics. How military designs trickled down from the soldiers on the front lines to the hippies on the war protest line to the yuppies in line at Banana Republic. And why some of your favorite outdoor brands may just be moonlighting as U.S. military suppliers, while keeping it as under the radar as they can.Pre-order the Planet Money book and get a free gift. / Subscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.This episode of Planet Money was produced by Luis Gallo, edited by Jess Jiang, fact checked by Yasmine Alsayyad, and engineered by Robert Rodriguez.

Is AI Making Us Stupid?

AI tools like ChatGPT have taken the world by storm, with tons of people saying they use them regularly. This is especially true for students, many of whom say they use AI to get their schoolwork done. And this is freaking some of us out — we're hearing that jumping on the AI train could be a terrible idea, partly because of claims that these tools could be bad for our brains. So — are we outsourcing too much of our thinking to the bots?? Will our brains turn to mush? Or can we use AI to boost our brainpower? To find out, we talk to Dr. Shiri Melumad, expert in the psychology of technology, and Dr. Aaron French, expert in information systems. Find our transcript here: https://bit.ly/ScienceVsAIStupid In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Is AI ruining or boosting our brains? (02:45) How often are LLMs like ChatGPT wrong?

Revolutions

8. L’11 settembre e la guerra all’America di Bin Laden

La storia dell’attentato alle Torri Gemelle e della guerra all’America di Al-Qaida comincia molto prima dell’11 settembre 2001. L’organizzazione terroristica viene fondata nel 1988, dopo che il giovane Osama Bin Laden, rampollo saudita di buona famiglia, si convince che gli Stati Uniti siano i principali responsabili di tutti i mali che affliggono il mondo islamico. Sono moltissimi gli attentati organizzati in giro per il mondo in quegli anni, tutti con uno stesso obiettivo: i cittadini americani. La rete diventa sempre più ampia e grazie all’incontro con un uomo, nel 1996 in Afghanistan, viene costruito l’attentato più famoso della storia.

7. Il pugno di Nelson Mandela e l’Apartheid in Sudafrica

Nel 1990, Nelson Mandela esce dal carcere di Victor Verster a Città del Capo, dopo 27 anni di detenzione, e alza il pugno al cielo. È un momento iconico: dopo cinquant’anni di lotte, pacifiche e armate, e di sangue versato, in Sudafrica finisce l’era della segregazione razziale. L’Apartheid, contro cui Mandela e molti altri hanno lottato per gran parte della vita, appartiene finalmente al passato.

6. Il crollo del muro di Berlino e la fine dell’Unione Sovietica

Tra colpi di Stato, esplosioni nucleari, proteste e manovre politiche azzardate, il crollo dell’Unione Sovietica si è concretizzato in pochi anni, lasciando dietro di sé le macerie su cui è nata la Russia di oggi. Il crollo del muro di Berlino, il disastro nucleare di Chernobyl, la perestroika di Gorbaciov e il susseguirsi delle dichiarazioni di indipendenza sono solo alcuni dei momenti spartiacque che hanno segnato la fine della superpotenza che, insieme agli Stati Uniti, ha fatto la storia del novecento.

5. Golpe, sangue e desaparecidos: storia delle dittature sudamericane

Cile, Brasile, Bolivia, Uruguay, Perù, Paraguay, Ecuador, Argentina. Tra gli anni ‘60 e gli anni ‘70, la storia del Sudamerica è stata segnata da golpe militari e dittature sanguinose, appoggiate segretamente dalla CIA per arginare il successo delle forze di sinistra nella regione. In pochi anni sono morte decine di migliaia di persone, mentre altre sono semplicemente scomparse: sono i desaparecidos, vittime di un vero e proprio genocidio politico.

4. Come Israele si è preso la Palestina in meno di un secolo

Dalla guerra dei sei giorni a quella dello Yom Kippur, lo Stato di Israele ha una storia controversa che comincia ben prima della sua fondazione. È il 1897 quando si tiene il primo congresso sionista a Basilea, seguito dall’immigrazione ebraica in Palestina all’inizio del novecento. E poi la nakba, l’istituzione di Israele e i conflitti armati con i Paesi confinanti, che non hanno mai accettato la presenza dello Stato ebraico. Non è un caso che i terroristi di Hamas abbiano scelto proprio il 7 ottobre per il loro attacco.
