We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!)

In this episode, we explored several fascinating stories from the worlds of tech, entertainment, and archaeology. First, we looked at Anthropic's new AI model Claude 3.5 Sonnet, which raises the bar for AI capabilities in areas like reasoning, knowledge, and coding. We also discussed the controversy around the canceled premiere of the AI-scripted film "The Last Screenwriter" and Netflix's surprising plans to open immersive physical retail stores called "Netflix House." Additionally, we covered California's proposed crackdown on smartphone usage in schools to address student mental health concerns. The highlight was the remarkable discovery of the world's oldest known wine, found preserved in an ancient Roman burial site in Spain. Dating back around 2,000 years, this white wine offers insights into the symbolic role of wine in Roman funerary rituals and burial practices. Its exceptional state of preservation allowed scientists to analyze the mineral composition, revealing similarities to modern sherry wines from the region. This incredible archaeological find reminds us that the past still holds secrets waiting to be uncovered.Citations:[1] https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/aws/amazon-bedrock-anthropic-ai-claude-3-5-sonnet[2] https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/worlds-oldest-wine-discovered-southern-spain-rcna157894[3] https://sg.news.yahoo.com/premiere-first-movie-written-ai-184255136.html[4] https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/20/24181961/anthropic-claude-35-sonnet-model-ai-launch?showComments=1[5] https://www.pymnts.com/artificial-intelligence-2/2024/anthropic-debuts-new-ai-model-claude-3-5-sonnet-that-understands-humor/[6] https://www.zdnet.com/article/anthropic-launches-claude-3-5-sonnet-and-debuts-artifacts-for-collaboration/[7] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHaYGq0yuMM[8] https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/19/24181719/california-governor-gavin-newsom-smartphone-school-legislation[9] https://www.npr.org/2023/10/14/1205971022/netflix-house-brick-and-mortar-locations[10] https://www.theguardian.com/film/article/2024/jun/20/premiere-movie-ai-generated-script-cancelled-backlash-the-last-screenwriter-prince-charles-cinema[11] https://variety.com/2023/digital/news/netflix-permanent-store-restaurant-launch-2025-1235756145/[12] https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-last-screenwriter-premiere-of-first-movie-written-by-ai-is-axed-after-backlash[13] https://collider.com/netflix-physical-retail-stores/[14] https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-3-5-sonnet[15] https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-12/netflix-to-open-stores-where-fans-can-play-shop-and-eat-in-2025
