Listen to The Intelligence Shift wherever you get your podcasts.
Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, why Europe's airports are especially chaotic this summer.
Then why lots of English speakers prefer Telemundo's World Cup broadcast to Fox's. It's Thursday, July 9th. Let's ride. Let's ride.
Good morning. A Brown University economics professor is coming forward with pretty clear-cut evidence that virtually all of his students used AI to cheat in his class this spring. On the take-home midterm exam, Roberto Serrano said that the average score was 96 out of 100, while 40 students scored a perfect 100. He grew very suspicious, writing to the students, I am not declaring the midterm void for now. I'm going to give the class a chance to prove me wrong. So he made the final exam in person. Here's what happened next. 18 students dropped the course. Nine didn't bother to show up to the final. And the average score fell from 96 on the midterm to 48 on the final. Toby, not a great look for your alma mater.
Not a great look, but I want to shout out two people in this class. First is a person who received a 95.5 on the midterm. Suspicious? Nope. 95 on the final. An ethical baller right there. And by far the lowest delta between the two scores. Except for a legend a little further down the grade scale who received a 55 on the midterm and a 59 on the final. So, yes. Horrible at econ, but at least they didn't cheat and stepped up big time to turn that F into a C- on the final. Professor Serrano sounded off on the whole incident saying, We cannot afford to have a society in which a significant faction of our best young minds think that cheating is okay. That leads to a declining society to a failed society. We cannot choose to become idiots.
Drop the hammer right there.
And now a word from our sponsor, Ultra Running. Hey, Toby, do your shoes give you enough toe room? You know I'm sensitive about my fragile and dainty toes. I learn something new every day. Anyway, Ultra Running has shoes that can fit your lifestyle and your feet. That's because they make shoes shaped like feet.
Most running shoes are narrow at the toe, but Ultra has more room for your toes so they can spread out and your feet can stay in a natural position. The Ultra Fit is designed to give you more room for your toes for comfort, balance, and strength.

Meta just rolled out a new AI image generator, and it's already being described as a privacy landmine. Muse Image is Meta's newest model available in the Meta AI app and on Instagram. It's very similar to other image generation models from OpenAI and Google, save for one key difference. It's deeply integrated into the Instagram app, so much so that if your profile is public, your face can become fodder for AI remixes. That means I could use Muse to make Neil wear a Boston Celtics jersey or give myself a little extra muscle around the biceps. While many other companies already offer similar capabilities, the big concern with Muse is consent. Most users won't realize that their public photos can be incorporated into AI content.
And though Meta says users can opt out, it's buried deep in a settings menu far from the standard account privacy controls. Elon Musk's Grok already went down this rabbit hole and found outrage on the other side. The UK is currently investigating how Grok has been used to create and spread non-consensual AI-generated images of real people. Now Meta is opening up a similar can of worms.
Not only are you automatically opted into this, but you won't even know if someone is making you wear a Celtics jersey or even worse, a Knicks jersey.
