Episode 713: Toby and Ann dive into the ending of the longest government shutdown in US history. But while federal workers and programs start up again, the ripple effects of its impacts may be far-reaching. Then, Google is standing up to scammers as it sues a shadowy operation, hoping to put an end to text phishing. Meanwhile, Toby shares his favorite numbers from Harvard’s alleged grade-flation, ChatGPT usage, and Disney’s economic toll from the YouTube blackout. Finally, it’s time to pay our condolences to a long time friend…the US penny.
