You've talked to a chatbot, an AI.

It agrees with you.

Does that make you more confident, more extreme, more convinced you're right about everything?

Halfway through the hour, we'll talk about how flattering chatbots can mess with your beliefs, but also mess with your ego.

So be careful.

The internet might be making you think you're smarter

than you are.

Then after that, a study that just is so ridiculous.

A study proving that late birthday cards at work upset people big time.

Workplace slights make people less likely to show up, be less productive.

They tank morale.

You better get that birthday card on time and you're not going to want to miss that interview towards the end of the hour.

All right, that's some of tonight's lineup.

There will be more.

Let's dive in.

Space, the final frontier.

These are the voyages of Jesse Rogerson, a professor of astrophysics at York University.

We are talking science news and we're going to talk his wheelhouse.

Let's go into space and get some updates from our orbit and beyond.

Jesse, welcome to the show.
