What fascinating facts can I learn about photography?
Today on Something You Should Know, some fascinating facts you never knew, including one weird one about Wild Bill Hickok, then a top AI expert on the amazing things AI can do, and the false promises, the things AI cannot do.
These ideas about AI developing an agency of its own and deciding to do stuff, these are pure sci-fi scenarios. Based on the way that AI is currently built today, those speculative scenarios really have no basis in reality.
Also, the real reason printer ink is so expensive and a look back at what they really ate at the first Thanksgiving.
One of the things that they always ate and ate to excess is pumpkin. Pumpkin was hugely important. New England was the pumpkin dominion. And the first American folk song was written in 1620, and it was about how they ate too much pumpkin all the time.
All this today on Something You Should Know. We talk a lot about health on Something You Should Know, and I guess it motivates me. I mean, I'm not a nut about it, but I try to take care of my health. I want to preserve my mobility and strength as I get older. And I recently started taking this supplement. Maybe you've heard about it. It's called MitoPure. MitoPure is a precise dose of something called Urolithin A that supports your health by encouraging cellular renewal. Since I started taking it... I can tell I have more energy and I notice I recover faster after I exercise. I did some research on this too. There's some real science here that supports what I'm saying. And so does my experience.
MitoPure is the only urolithin A supplement on the market that is clinically proven to target the effects of age-related cellular decline. And Mito Pure is shown to deliver double-digit increases in muscle strength and endurance without a change in exercise. From my own experience, I have more energy and strength and just overall feel better every day. And who doesn't want that? And I'm not just recommending it to you on this podcast. I tell friends and other people I know about it because of how it makes me feel. Now, Timeline is the company behind MitoPure, and Timeline is offering 10% off your order of MitoPure. Go to Timeline.com slash something. That's T-I-M-E-L-I-N-E dot com slash something.
Something you should know. Fascinating intel. The world's top experts. And practical advice you can use in your life. Today, Something You Should Know with Mike Carruthers. You know, I don't know why, whether it's because I have this job or I have this job because I like to do this, but I love to uncover fascinating facts about things that I never knew before. And I have uncovered some and would like to share them. And these first facts are all about photography. In 2024, by the time this year is over, an estimated 1.94 trillion photographs will have been taken worldwide. Globally, we capture 5.3 billion photographs daily. That's 61,400 per second. The average American takes 20 photos a day. And there are now approximately 14.3 trillion photographs in existence. And now to completely change the subject, you've heard of Wild Bill Hickok, right? The cowboy?
Well, Wild Bill Hickok had a brother. And you know what his name was? Tame Bill Hickok. When George W. Bush was president, he and Saddam Hussein both had their shoes made by the same Italian shoemaker. And there is a Mexican language. It's called Zouk. But the language died out in the mid-20th century. Only two people on the planet can speak it. And those two people are feuding and refuse to speak to each other. And that is something you should know. There is so much talk today about artificial intelligence, AI. And my sense is that AI has been around long enough that the people, the experts who talk about it, presume we all know what it is and how it works. But I'll tell you, and maybe it's just me, but my understanding of AI is pretty elementary. I get it, but I don't really understand how it works or what it does or what it doesn't do on any kind of deep level. In other words, there's a lot more about AI and the different kinds of AI that I don't know compared to what I do know. And I suspect I'm not the only one.
