If you have grandkids, great-grandkids, or kids down the street, this episode is for you. Ginny has been doing a lot of reading on what AI might actually do to our schools — not in a vague, hand-wavy way, but in a real, picture-by-picture way. What could a classroom look like in three to five years? What happens to college? And what does any of this mean for the kids we love? That’s what this episode is about.

Ginny walks through three different age groups — elementary school, middle and high school, and college — and paints multiple scenarios for each. Along the way she shares the story of a $3 million AI chatbot that collapsed in three months, a private school where kids spend just two hours a day on AI-powered lessons, a University of Pennsylvania study showing students learning six to nine months ahead of their peers, and a Princeton professor whose students said something about AI that Ginny hasn’t been able to stop thinking about.

In the news this week: a New York Times investigation into how accurate Google’s AI Overviews really are (the answer might surprise you — or maybe not), and a brand new Gallup survey of more than 1,500 young Americans that reveals how Gen Z really feels about AI right now. Spoiler: they’re curious, frustrated, and a little bit angry — all at the same time. Ginny also recommends a road trip to the zoo with a three-year-old and makes the case for bringing popcorn back into your life.

If you’ve been nodding along whenever someone says “AI is going to change education” but couldn’t quite picture what that actually means — this episode will help you see it.

On April 7th, Anthropic announced Claude Mythos — described as “by far the most powerful AI model we’ve ever developed.” But instead of releasing it to the public, they locked it away. In this episode, Ginny explains what Mythos can do, why it matters to everyday people, and what the emergency meeting between the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and America’s biggest banks was all about.

Mythos identified thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities — hidden security flaws — across every major operating system and browser, including a 27-year-old bug in software used in internet routers. Anthropic responded by forming Project Glasswing, a coalition of 40 organizations working to patch those vulnerabilities before bad actors can exploit them. Ginny breaks it all down in plain English, including what you can do right now to protect yourself.

Also in this episode — ten hands-free Siri commands for safer driving, Palantir CEO Alex Karp’s provocative take on which workers will thrive in an AI economy (hint: it’s not the elite degree holders), plus recommendations for the NYT Cooking app and a five-ingredient lemon-lime cream dessert that looks far more impressive than it is.

Links to all articles and the recipe are in the show notes. And don’t skip this week’s homework: check for software updates and install them. After this episode, you’ll know exactly why.

Thinking about a move to a senior living community — or just wondering if you should? In this episode, Ginny Deerin shares one of her most personal AI projects yet: using AI to research, decide, and plan her move to The Peninsula, a new senior living community being built in Charleston, South Carolina.

She walks you through every step — how she used AI to compare communities, think through whether it was the right move, figure out if she could afford it, review a fifty-page contract, choose her actual apartment, and start planning her space. AI was her researcher, counselor, financial sounding board, contract reviewer, and interior design consultant. All in one.

Also in this episode: the jaw-dropping story of a man who built a $1.8 billion company with just his brother and a lot of AI — and a warning about AI voice cloning scams that you'll want to share with your whole family today. Plus two recommendations, a listener question that taught even Ginny something new about YouTube, and a homework assignment that involves a pen, some paper, and the people you love most.

Whether you're thinking about a move like this or simply want to see what AI can do when you give it a big, meaty, real-life project — this episode is for you.
