The Curiosity Desk

First up, it's an AI news panel, this week with Boston Globe tech reporter Hiawatha Bray, researcher Elena Glassman, and Agents of Purpose founder Kathy Pham. We’ll talk about ​the futuristic OpenAI hack, ​U.S. competition with China, and ​growing public discontent with AI data centers. 

Then, we welcome back Gal Tziperman Lotan with Four Things to Know for July 28th. We’ll also play Edgar’s piece on why we call this period the “Dog Days” of Summer. 

Lastly,  Edgar meets Dennis Boothby, who makes his living scouring the beaches of New England with a metal detector to track down people's lost jewelry.
