Lost Debate Ep 130 | Shoplifting, Broke Millennial Myth, Should We Regulate AI?
Ravi, Rikki, and Joe look at new reporting from the New York Times, which found that a small number of repeat offenders accounted for almost one third of all shoplifting arrests in New York City last year. How did we get here? And is this part of a larger, national issue? We talk with local bodega owners to see what they’re experiencing. Then we pivot to a discussion about the unluckiest generation: Millennials. But are they really so unlucky? We speak to psychology professor Jean Twenge who argued in The Atlantic earlier this week that Millennials are doing just fine. Finally, we discuss regulating the burgeoning industry of artificial intelligence. Is it the right time? Will it ever be the right time? We speak with Professor David Gunkel and Reason’s science correspondent Ronald Bailey to get to the bottom of it.
