"I don't know, she loved Detroit. I don't know if anybody did. They moved to Detroit while he worked for the Detroit institute for the arts, but very famously in the 1930s they lived in New York City when Diego Rivera's commission by Nelson Rockefeller, who in the movie, the great movie by Julie taymor and Salma Hayek was played by Edward Norton. Oh, really? Yeah, have you not seen that movie? No. Oh man, it's good. Yeah, I'll bet. And once you hear, especially with the backstory now with the Weinstein stuff coming out. I mean, this was her Salma Hayek's passion project for her life. And he put her through a living hell. It's horrifying. I think it was, it might have been The New Yorker New York Times had a great article about it, but that she wrote, I think. But I think what got me on that was Edward Norton was he rewrote the script for free, because basically one of Harvey's things was like, I'm not going to give you any money for this. You got to do it for almost nothing. Everyone's going to have to work for free. So she got everyone to work for free, or scale. From Edward Norton to Julie taymor, the great director. And he demanded a lesbian sex scene, literally was like, I'm not doing this unless you do that. And she was bisexual, so it wasn't like he created this out of thin air. But he's like, I want to see this on screen. She supposedly had affairs with George O'Keefe and Josephine Baker. And all these famous female performers and artists. But she did not do that. I think she thinks she had a kissing scene with Ashley Judd at a party. Who is Ashley Judd's supposed to be? Oh, I can't remember. I haven't seen it in a minute. Okay. Emily's mad that she's not here right now. I told her about this last night, and she was like, why am I not on? We don't have guests. She's like, I'm a guest on movie crush. I was like, well, that's a different podcast altogether. Sorry, Emily. Yeah. She will pick this apart, trust me. But anyway, she had a double of a time getting that movie made. And it went on to great success. And I think still is the highest grossing art based movie of all time. Yeah, that's what I saw. Yeah. So anyway, there were New York City because Nelson Rockefeller is played by Norton had commissioned Diego Rivera to paint a mural at Rockefeller center called man at the crossroads, and in it it was one of these big, almost look like a sergeant pepper's cover. People all over the place. I've seen it. And he snuck in Vladimir Lenin in the painting. So I have a question about that. Did he sneak it in and was caught or was he like and also, by the way, I've included this great man Lennon. He snuck it in as a response, is very pointed response to something, and I can't remember exactly what it was. But it wasn't originally in the plan. And I don't know if it was in the original sketch. I might be giving a slightly wrong. But at any rate, he got linen in there and Rockefeller was not happy. I mean, I think it was more of his family. He stayed his friend. It wasn't like he was like, I hate you. You're a big poopy pants. Go back to Mexico. Right. But he stopped the work that painting was mural was removed and destroyed. But eventually. Was it destroyed? Yeah. Man. Pretty sad. But eventually, Rivera recreated that. Okay. A little smaller in Mexico City and changed the title to man controller of the universe. And then in parentheses up years Rockefeller. Maybe so, but that just sort of puts a button on them moving kind of all around the United States for a while and this is when she was being introduced to high society and everyone from, like I said, Josephine Baker to Trotsky. And she was working at the time too, right? It wasn't like she was just hanging out. Yeah, she was still painting. And one of the paintings she did was the suicide of Dorothy Hale. Yeah, that was interesting. So she was commissioned by clear loose booth. Little deuce coupe. She was from the publishing family of time. I think she published Vanity Fair or something like that. She's a great publishing magnate. And this is back in the 30s. And she was friends with Dorothy Hale, who was an actress, a well-known actress who had hit on hard times financially and was having to live on the generosity of her friends. And she climbed up to the highest point of the high rise that she lived off of in jump to her death. And it devastated Claire booth luce. And I hope I get that right out at least somewhere. And who was her friend? And she commissioned Frida Kahlo to do a painting, which she thought this would be a portrait to commemorate my friend Dorothy. That's not all what Frida Kahlo did. Yeah, I don't know if she realized who she was commissioning fully. So have you seen her work? Right. So what Frida Kahlo did was she took this assignment and commemorated not Dorothy Hale necessarily, but Dorothy Hale's death by suicide. Yeah. It's almost like a step by step diagram. It shows her at the top of the building in midair, and then in the foreground, largest of all, is her broken bloody body on the ground. But it has this very somber text caption basically across the bottom in a scroll that explains what this is and how sad this is. And that it was the suicide of Dorothy Hale. And so apparently when Claire booth loose got this, she unwrapped it and was like, what is this? This gag. She's horrified. And she was going to destroy it and Friends talked her out of it. So it's still in existence today from what I understand. I think the booth or loose family has the painting in their possession now. Yeah, and that's just emblematic of Frida's outlook, which was like, she was no BS. She's like, I'm going to show you what's real. So let me ask you this. You're the Frida expert here. Between the two of us. Okay, maybe. Was she doing that? I'm all in your face, Claire. This is the reality of your friend's suicide. Or was it she? This was her expression of emotion that she thought Claire, I'm not saying her last two names would kind of vibe on and this would be the greatest commemoration of her friend. Which one? Well, I don't think it was all in your face. I think she thought that was the honesty, I think she thought that was the most honest work, but I'm not sure whether or not she considered like, wait a minute. Is she gonna hate this? Okay, so she wasn't like, it doesn't matter if she hates it. This is the most honest work. So I don't even if there's psychologically destroys her, Claire needs to toughen up. I don't know. I'm very curious. Now that's a good question. I understand a lot of the symbolism and her paintings now, but I don't necessarily, I haven't hit upon her motivation or personality quite yet. Family's gonna be so mad because she read her 800 page biography and she's probably like, oh, I'll read page 630. Jerks, and that'll explain it all. Sorry, again, Emily. That's right. You want to take a break?

"Okay, chuck, so like you said, something really bad is about to happen to Frida. She's 18. She's on a bus with a boyfriend who is the leader of the cachaca. Get you just. Yeah? And the bus was struck by a trolley or vice versa. She was on a trolley struck by a bus. But one of the two, and either way, it was a bad bad scene for her. Yeah. She was impaled by one of the handlebars. It went through pelvis into her womb as how I saw it put? Yeah. Broker's spine, she was in a bad way. And supposedly, her boyfriend walked away unharmed, which just makes it even worse, you know? Yeah, I mean, the way I got it was that everyone was shaking up pretty bad, but it was this sort of freak thing that this rail impaled her hip that she got the worst of it. Now this would go on to be, in my opinion, the most significant event of her entire life. 100%. Because it changed everything. It changed the course of everything. Remember up to this point, she's planning on becoming a doctor. And she was so laid up for so long and so immobilized that she basically said, well, there goes my chance of being a doctor. I'm not going to be able to catch up, I'm not going to be able to move who knows if I'll be able to walk again. And it just shifted direction. Plus, that whole womb thing is going to come into play later on. And that will definitely influence our art for sure too. Yeah, so she's bedridden for months. I think she had something like 13 or 15 surgeries from that point on for the next 30 years. And it turns out that she was a great painter, which must have been something to be like, well, I'm in this hospital bed that they're equipping me with this special easel that I can use in my full body cast lying down. Yeah. They're gonna put a mirror on the ceiling above me so I can be my own model. Right. And she was very much known for her self portraits. And she starts painting and is amazingly talented. Yeah, and at first she was saying, okay, well, I can't be a doctor and apparently I have this knack for painting. Maybe I'll be a medical illustrator. And once you hear that, when you see some of her work, you're like, oh, yeah. She basically was a medical illustrator. Yeah, but exploring anatomy as a metaphor for emotion. Yes, from what I understand, right? Yeah, I mean, I don't know. This might be hyperbolic to say this, but I don't know of any artist that poured herself out on the canvas as much as she did. Certainly not up to the point. Yeah. Especially female artists. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Up to this point when Frida Kahlo came along like women were, if you were emotional, you were hysterical. One. But you certainly weren't, if you were a woman artist, you certainly weren't expected to explore emotions and grief and personhood in the self. And you certainly weren't expected to do it in your paintings. And she said, her works showed that that was not the case. It wasn't even like, you shouldn't do this. It was women can't do this. And she came along and said, actually, we can, 'cause I'm living proof. Yeah, and if you're a man, you're just a brooding artist. Right. You're mailing college. Yeah, if you're a woman, you're hysterical. Or you're depressed, then she just, man, she laid it out there. Yeah, it's raw as you could imagine. And especially for the time, it was just off the charts, how radical it was. Right. So and she's able to do this because her family set up a special easel in a mirror for her. To be her own model. Yes, right? Yes. So this is a big thing. This is starting to come along and she passes the time while she's recuperating doing this and she recovers enough that she goes back to school and starts hanging out with her old friends again. And from that reentry back into the revolutionary slash communist world in Mexico at the time, she ended up in the orbit of Diego Rivera again. Actually, they ran across each other at a party. Yeah, and this was it, man, from that point forward, they would be, they would be tied to one another through their work and through their multiple marriages to one another. She was 22. He was 20 years older than her. And he very much very much encouraged her early on. Yeah. And champion her and was her mentor as an artist. Was she went up to him at this party and said, I want you to look at my work and tell me, should I pursue this to this? And artist, or is this just nothing? And he looked at her work and he said, you were an artist. This is astounding. Do you have what it takes? And you should keep pursuing being an artist and as a matter of fact, let's get married. Yeah, I mean, he was attracted to her, but I haven't seen anything that led me to believe that any of his support of her work was not genuine. Right. And because he wanted to get her in the set. No, no, no, he wasn't that kind of guy. He would get anybody in the second. He certainly didn't have to marry you. And he certainly didn't have to tell you you were a great artist. Below him. I saw a thing, they both had multiple affairs. We'll talk about that throughout their marriage. And maybe or maybe not so understanding of each other doing so. Right. But I saw one point that he supposedly got his doctor to write a note that said that he was physically incapable of being faithful. I don't know. So that's so Diego. I don't know if that's true or not. So I just want to get this quote in. He had a great quote about her. As an artist, he said that she was a realist as far as her arts concern. She was quote, the first woman in the history of art to treat with absolute and uncompromising Odyssey, one might even say cruelty, those general and specific themes which exclusively affect women. Yeah. That's a pretty strong words from a renowned artist who I mean, Diego Rivera was world renowned by this time already. So when he looked at her art and had things like that to say about it, it really meant something. She was, if she ever was an outsider artist, she wasn't anymore. She was a genuine artist. She'd been decreed as such by the cream of the crop. Yeah, and I think the article on our own website downplays a little bit her successes during her life. It's certainly nothing compared to what she got many, many years later, decades later after her death. They weren't free to maniacs back then. But she wasn't she also was not just completely unknown as an artist. I mean, she got some notoriety during her life. She got to know Picasso. She got to know. I mean, these were the circles she traveled in. Partially because of Diego Rivera. But they started moving around, starting in the 1930s, they didn't stay in Mexico. They lived in San Francisco for a little while. Depending on where the work was because he was a muralist. Right. So he had to go to the place where he was doing that. Yeah, exactly. He can't say, I'm going to send you a mural. Just tape it up. Send me a wall. And he had her in tow, which I get the impression sometimes she was a willing accomplice and other times she was very much homesick from Mexico. Yeah, she for sure, miss Mexico, I know she did enjoy her time in New York and say,

"Hey, and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark. And there's Charles W chuck Bryant and there's Jerry Roland. This is gonna be an interesting one, 'cause I don't know how to say the ladies last thing. Jerry's over there with her spider monkey on her shoulder. A dead hummingbird hanging from her necklace. Just like any other day. Yep. We're here in la Casa Azul. And she's gotten ahold of some eyebrow pencil and filled in between the two across the bridge of her nose. So I'm excited about this. A because you said Frida Kahlo before. We started recording Frida Kayla. And B, because, you know, my family's fascination with this woman in her work. No. We've talked about it before. That's okay though. We've done a thousand episodes. We have talked about it before? Yeah. Okay, well, we'll get back into it. Yeah, we're way into Frida. Emily is borderline obsessed. Is she a freedom maniac? She is. That's awesome. And my daughter loves her. You know there's like free to hate to use the word, but kind of cults, devotional groups, where they basically dress up and are like Frida, like channel Frida Kahlo. Yeah, because as one of these articles that we source from points out near the end, not only does she draw in people for her art, but she draws in feminists and she draws in women who have suffered miscarriages. And disabled people who have suffered great pain and chronic pain in their life. So she threw her life, she's able to touch a lot of people because of her life. And I'm sure with any artist where, if you know, the more you know about the artist, the more you can appreciate their art. Sure. With Frida Kahlo. It's almost like you got to quit saying that. Frida Kahlo. Kahlo, Kahlo. Yeah. My whole life I've been saying for you to Kayla. I like it. It rolls off the tongue. Yeah, but you know, let's give her the due respect. When did we start doing that? I don't know. Okay, so you almost just almost can't fully appreciate any piece of her work without knowing at least the basics of her story, I think. Well, yeah, and certainly once you know the basics, you're like, oh, right. That's where all this comes from. It really makes sense. Yeah. But she is a great artist for sure. I was going back and looking at some of her art. I'm familiar with her. I know a little bit about her. But I definitely saw some pieces that I didn't realize before. And just from researching this, I very much came to appreciate her even more. She's a great artist. Just the techniques she used, the imagery she used the symbolism. I really dig it all. And it's like, you can appreciate it because it gives you a visceral reaction, but the average person can also get what she's feeling or what she's saying without being like, this means this and that means that is just kind of get it visually. It's something that you can get and appreciate pretty easily. Yeah, I mean, we've seen her work in museums all over the world, basically every new city we go to. Is there any free to color work there? Have you been to la Casa Azul? No, but that's going to happen. Oh, I'm sure. I was going to say bucket list, but it's just on the list. Right. I don't want to do it when I'm 80. Right. With Jack Nicholson or something. No, Morgan Freeman. No, no, no. We're going to go down there for sure. All right, so let's start chronologically, huh? It started at the beginning. That makes sense. So Frida Kahlo, she was born back in 1907, although she used to being a revolutionary. She used to say that she was born in 1910, which was the year of the Mexican revolution, but she was born in a town which was very free to. Yeah. Frida Kahlo thing to do. Right. She was born in town called koyo a Khan, which is outside of Mexico City. And she was born in that house, la Casa Azul, the blue house. Yeah, maybe not. There's a lot of parts of her early life, like the year she was born, where other people say like, nah, she's actually born nearby, but she says she was born there. So like her birth records indicated different place. But I gotcha. We'll say she was born there. At the very least it was her family's house, right? Oh yeah. And she was in her life for her whole life. So much so she actually died in that house. Yeah, and it's a museum now. Yes, it is. It's a national museum dedicated to Frida Kahlo. Pretty cool. We can visit. Right. So she was born in 1907. They figured out, apparently you figured out. And her father was a German or Hungarian because I saw both. Well, here's another little thing. Oh boy, this is gonna be a long one. He was German. He was born in Germany, but frieda always said that he was of Hungarian Jewish descent, but that just doesn't appear to be true. Like ancestry, genealogy records. So was he like German Protestant or something? German. Lutheran? Lutheran, I think. That's a Protestant, I think. I think so, but I think it was Luther. I can't remember. Okay. But his name, depending on it was Carl Wilhelm, but when he traveled to Mexico in the late 1800s, he changed his name. He took the translation, the Spanish translation was original German name, which would have been Guillermo, apparently. That's a great name. So is Wilhelm though? Yeah. And then 1894, he became a Mexican citizen and married her mother, Matilda Calderon, who was American Indian and Spanish. Yeah, and we should say free to full name as magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo, he called their own. Great name. It is really, there's a lot to it there. Basically gives you everything you want, right? That's right. So she was born in one someone else I came to admire from researching her as her father. He seemed to have been a pretty cool cat. He was a really good dad. Her mom was a little bit religiously hysterical, I think. And very strict. But her dad was a bit of a foil in that he raised Frida, he noticed something in Frida, it seems that she was different from her sisters. Which she screamed. I mean, just like she dressed in men's suits and things like that. She was definitely different than her sisters. But he saw in her something very much different than her sisters, not just in her outward behavior. And so he kind of plucked her out of the path that his sisters were on, which was, you know, go get married, or educated in a convent. Go get married, go be a wife and say, you, you're going to go a different path. Let's

"That word has come to mean in the context and the contemporary context of the 6 house. Among other things, is finding one's self in the position of servitude to. Someone else who has power over you. Upon whom, part of your economic well-being is dependent. And that forces you into a position of servitude and order that you and your family can survive economically, and when dealing with situations of oppression. And this can happen as a culture and it can happen individually. It can be individual people where that, let's say, the ruler of the 7th of marriage is in the 6th House of servitude that via marriage that person's finds themselves in the state of being not much more than a servant in their partner's family. And when you or in any relationship a relationship between the teacher and the student between two partners between an employer and an employee, even between a parent and a child, whenever you have that conflation of the ruler of one of these houses in the ruler of the 6th house, being in each other's houses or in aspect, you have this power dynamic of one person being in power over another. And the 6th house can give a key toward recognizing that and beginning to unravel it. Now, when we add to that, the planet Mars has its joy in the 6th house. And Mars are tightly the warrior. And one of the ancient significations of the 6 house were insurrections. Then you have the situation where individuals who have been dealing with oppression for so long, marshal up their Mars energy, and that there is a protest and insurrection desire for liberation from those circumstances. So when you take the 6th house and overlay it with work. Workers strikes and worker unions are part of that. But what I just finished the 5 day retreat on time lords last week, and we were looking at the chart of Frida Kahlo. Who has Mars in the 6th house. And Mars is exalted in the song of Capricorn, but it's also the malefic contrary to set. And Frida is very famous for the major accent. She had in her life. The multiple bones were broken more than 35 surgeries and incredible pain and suffering that she went through, and how that was transformed and portrayed in her art. But as the participants there started going into the timing of Mars, using the Hellenistic time lord techniques, they found that it also showed a prominently during times of her political revolutionary activity that she was a communist from the time she was very young she had communist sympathies and was involved in political movements for the rights of the working class and social equity. And so, and that became one of the exciting revelations of the class xeno Mars activated out in all of her physical and capacity, protesting again. With the workers. So I think that many of the contemporary protests movements going on. Whose cause has to do with the oppression of different classes of individuals that the 6th place is very rich and fertile place to look for understanding. The parts of one's personality, the timing, the inclination for that kind of activity of rebellion against servitude any kind. Right, that makes sense. So while the cultural context of astrology has changed over the past 2000 years, part of the premises that to the extent that we can go back and understand the original symbolic meaning that was underlying the individual's significations, we can actually find ways in which some of those meanings can still inform in a helpful or useful or insightful way our understanding of the houses today. Absolutely. And so that was my hope. And putting the section on the houses together was to be able to do that kind of archeological process of the houses and sifting like layer by layer to get to the original foundations and then to be able to see through that and to what's going on now and have a sort of a clear insight. Right, that makes sense. And one of the areas where it's really interesting to watch the development and growth and evolution of the houses or one of the houses in particular is like the 5th House, for example, where some of the meanings get expanded over the years based on different concepts that become more and more prominent as the tradition goes by. So the 5th House is one of those houses. And I thought we could go through some of those significations really quickly. Just to give people a taste of what the book spends a lot of time doing and what it's really good for because it brings a lot of source, a lot of primary sources that most astrologers aren't going to have access to of immediately being able to pull 20 translations off of their desk, but instead you use your library and your vast knowledge of all these different authors and bring them together in a concise list. So here's the section for the 5th House. So it starts first just by giving a summary of the Hellenistic approach and it says the name of the 5th House is good fortune in terms of angularity. It's a house in terms of strength, it's said to have moderate dynamic strength and support. In terms of favorability, it's said to be a favorable house in terms of ranking, it is the fourth best House in terms of that overall ranking. In the age of life, it's said to signify things said about the native after death. The planetary joys that Venus is said to rejoice in the 5th House and so many of the significations of the 5th House are derived from Venus and its meaning. In terms of traditional significations, you say it signifies children, pleasurable pursuits, romance, and sexuality, creative arts, good fortune, and riches, and an increase of beneficence. And then you list additional modern significations that have been added over the past century or things like gambling and speculative endeavors and non serious or noncommittal sexuality. So when you go though into the full section, it breaks it down chronologically, starting with the earliest authors and then taking it up through the medieval and renaissance and modern authors..

"Yes, can you describe the painting for us? Well, it's a small, but mighty painting. It shows Frida Kahlo. She's staring out at the viewer. And Diego's face is on her forehead above her iconic eyebrows. And she is crying three very powerful tears. Her hair normally her hair you see in portraits of freedom that it's braided, it's neatly piled upon her head, but here, it's tangled, it's loose, and it's also wrapping itself around her neck as if it's strangling her, which is quite unusual for one of her portraits. And in terms of what this meant, in her mind's eye, how do we interpret it? Exactly. So Rivera pops up quite a few times in Carlos portraits and often he appears on her chest, symbolizing that he's in her heart. Here he's on her forehead and it's the idea that yes, she is thinking about him. And I'd say in all of her portraits, what's interesting is she includes him, but the subject is still her. She's showing the effect he is having on her. So here it's the effect on her subconscious her mind, the pain. He's caused her. Yes, and that pain was complicated because it was infused with such love as well. Yeah, so they were in and open relationship. And they got married twice. They got married, divorced, remarried again. And I think this year was a particularly tough year in the second time around with the marriage because Ribera started an affair with one of Frida Kahlo's close friends, which felt like the ultimate betrayal to her and so this is what brought her to paint this really powerful portrait. And now showing that pain. Well, now, a record breaking portrait. And the record having been held previously by her husband. Yeah, I mean, brilliant. Ultimate act of revenge, but also I think ultimate acts of validation for her as well. I think there's something in that. People finally giving due to so many women artists among them Frida Kahlo and it's fantastic to see that. Yes. And I suppose just to ask as well because so many people, even if they don't quite know this painting, but thank you for describing it so well. They are drawn to her, especially so many women. Even if they don't know the stories, they don't know about her relationship. What do you think it is that is that language of connection? Well, I think she painted very honestly, her lived experience. Her experience as a woman, she painted miscarriage, abortion. She painted about the surgery. She underwent it really Frank terms. But at the same time there's something quite stoic about her paintings. And the Mexicans call her the heroine of pain. And she presents herself as sort of in control of that narrative. And I think that differs from the way that a lot of men are painted women as going mad from romantic relationships gone wrong..

"For some women lesbians who have spoken out about this who believe calling them prejudice for this is wrong. So I kind of want to emphasize two things. The one is the first thing that I said, I'm a feminist. It is completely cool to my beliefs that nobody should, ever, be pressured into dating intersect. We should only choose to be with who we want to be with. I've got many friends who have all kinds of dating preferences. I respect all of them wholly. So it's really important. I think it's very unequivocal about that. There is a difference between saying we might want to think about something and saying you are prejudiced. It's completely possible to have dating preferences that aren't to do with prejudice. It's also completely possible to have dating preferences that are. And I guess in the context of LGBTQ dating, there are quite a lot of issues and debates about filters in dating apps, these sorts of things..

But stonewall was formed as a lobby group in 1989 when a small group of lesbian and gay activists came together because they were devastated that a law had been passed that included the infamous section 28, which banned the promotion of homosexuality in schools and local authorities. Stonewall pledged to fight for its repeal, and for broader social and legal equality. Since then, it has helped to do just that. Lobbying for legislation to equalize the age of consent, for instance, and to allow same sex couples to marry and adopt. More recently stonewall has also campaigned around trans rights, attracting both praise and strong criticism for its stance on gender identity. As well as campaigning, stone will also run workplace inclusion schemes, which one estimate puts it covering 25% of the UK workforce. There are more than 250 public bodies in its diversity champions scheme, and some have chosen to leave this year. Most recently, the BBC departing last week, you may remember, in addition to channel four, ofcom, the media regulator and the equality and human rights commission. When I sat down with Nancy Kelly, the chief executive of stonewall yesterday for an exclusive interview, I wanted to get her reaction to that news, as well as her views on recent public debates around sex and gender, which have led to accusations of transphobia being leveled out, for example, one of the most famous and most successful women in Britain..

FTC and EU Warn They Could Crack Down on Biased AI
"The federal trade commission issued a strongly worded post monday warning companies against unfair or deceptive practices in their use of ai as well as violations of fair credit rules it told companies to hold themselves accountable for their algorithms or quote. Be ready for the ftc to do it for you. Dang and also this week the european union drafted detailed legislation that would regulate a including banning some surveillance and social credit scores. Let's check it out and quality assurance the segment where we take a deeper look at big tech story. Kahlo is a law professor at the university of washington. He says the ftc post was a surprise and as reading through it. My eyes were getting bigger and bigger and bigger. And i'm just sort of marveling at the language that the that the staff attorney his use but basically it's a shot across the bow for those people who are using and selling systems warning them that if they exaggerate claims about a i or if they sell ai that has a racially discriminatory on a fact that they should expect scrutiny from the federal trade commission. I guess my response. When i first saw that note though was we don't really have metrics for this. You know there's no consensus on how to judge whether ai is biased. The ftc is understaffed. Like how meaningful is the threat. Really remember that. The federal trade commission doesn't necessarily need to establish this or that algorithm is fair according to some metric. What they have to establish is that the company engaged in unfair or deceptive practice. Take for example. The the warning that you shouldn't make claims about what artificial intelligence can do that or not supported by the evidence right that's quite analogous to another context where you might exaggerate exaggerate the efficacy of some vitamin supplement.

"Stop Confirms Kahlo. Blair is going to play. This is Tom War and the verge. Fitness will be free to play in support up to one hundred and twenty frames per second Marcus, Marsov has announced the news comes after leak from Smith's toys superstores, which briefly posted posted details about halo, infinite multiplayer on a promotional page this week before quickly removing them once the Internet discovered the references. The legendary hero returns with the most expensive masters chief campaign yet and a groundbreaking free to play multiplayer experience relisting enjoy up two hundred and twenty F- ps in greatly reduced low times creating seamless game play with xbox series X. Co Brill, an Xbox leaker that accurately released accurately revealed previous Halo Limited details backed up the claims that the most Blair mode will be free to play. The leaker also claims the arena mode will aim for one hundred and twenty. which is also confirmed, and that multiplayer Halo Infinite will include a battle passes them and new customization options which the company has not confirmed. Tim. Halo, Fan number one of kind of funny. What is your take on this? This is fantastic. This is honestly unbelievable in many ways. I think this is a sign of things to come I. in in terms of transparency this goes back to where Tom on earlier with the Sony side of things. The these rumors and leaks come out Microsoft straight comes out at what four thirty PM on a Friday and it's just like, Hey, it's true. Let's just announced this. Let's get. This is good news. Let's let the people start talking about this and getting hype about it. Hundred frames per second on a console like way earlier than I expected to to start seeing those. Numbers thrown around especially for a flagship like Halo and I know that there's a lot of like jokes to be made about the how he'll looks or whatever. But when it allows things like this, that are going to enhance the gameplay of what makes him multiplayer special I. think that's totally worth the concessions and on top of that their commitment to this. Hundred. Twenty for second I think is assigned to me the more tech minded person compared to a lot of people are kind of funny that I'm very very, even more. So excited about Nexgen now where I wasn't expecting to start really seeing these numbers for three or four years granted, the TV's that the mainstream has right now are not able to do this. Even. My Amazing L.. G. O. That I have isn't compatible with HD my point one and it wasn't until two years ago is model that they started having one port to do that. That's going to start becoming a bit more normalized over time. Especially, if these councils are are touting this and pushing this as a feature that's necessary, it's going to push the. TV. Creators to to push as fast as possible for that to get that marketing space and best buy you know But this is great news for Gamers especially for people whether they play on. A Computer Monitor or on TV like this is awesome. Yeah. The greater play. That's the best thing ever. Yeah. That's the biggest thing and honestly I am I'm shocked. That they're going this route but I think it is the best route to go. Mainly, because I think this would have been such a great seller for xbox game past Halo multiplayer like I. Think I think so many are expecting that like Oh yeah. That's going to be the killer APP for xbox Game Pass. So the fact that this is going to be free to play experience like you still have the Halo Campaign, which you can get through Xbox game passed and that's of course going to sell so many people on that service but still man multiplayer that's a big thing and honestly I think This is going to be so good for Halo. especially, like in comparison game pass like of course, that might that might not give impasse the bolstering that in east, but for Halo that is going to increase the player base. So dynamically, that is going to turn that into a platform going to allow that thing to live for a while right and of course, it's Halos who's going to live anyway. But free play takes up a whole other level So like this is this is crazy news, but I'm all about it like I'm I like big moves like this. A me too, and I think that this is definitely assigned to calm. There's been so many where the smoke their fire type rumors about xbox live going away as a paid service, and with this, it's like if you're making halo. Free to play. Like. That is such esteem that is such. A flagship on he'll is a flagship title for for Xbox in so many different ways it's a flagship for selling the series. X, it's a flagship for game pass. It's a flagship for what a Microsoft single player experience looks like with the campaign and it most definitely is a flagship for multiplayer and for selling xbox live. Everything they're saying here is them being like Yell Halo is something that is just the foundation that people just get and then you grow from there and hope that people come in and want to stay in that ecosystem I is extremely exciting. I think that it's GonNa pay off for them the talk about a battle pass or whatever that makes sense that's an a a source of revenue come, and if they're offering good content there than the great and. The on in the battle pass include with game pass would be a good idea to help push the game strategy exemption I expect that. Imagine that right where it's like, Oh, anyone can play. But if you get gained, ask you also get all the the battle past. Plus this library of games, and it's like that all Microsoft's trying to get people in if they're getting them in different doors to the same thing, that's what matters most

Safety or surveillance: drones and the COVID-19 pandemic
"Police departments in the. Us have started using drones as a way to try to deal with the Kobe. Nineteen crisis in California Florida and new. Jersey officials have used drones to get messages to homeless communities or warn people to stay apart and respect social distancing but some drone companies are making even bigger claims that they can remotely detect fever for example or use facial recognition to see if. Someone's wearing a mask. And those kinds of claims have civil rights groups concerned Ryan. Kahlo is a professor of law at the University of Washington who studies emerging tech and policy. He said it's good. That people are thinking creatively but I think that the use of a drone is going to make people feel uncomfortable. The place I really think is problematic is trying to us. Drone technology coupled with artificial intelligence to try to figure out if people are far enough away from one another or to try to figure out whether people are sick while it might be technically lawful if you have the right license to do it to use drones to keep people apart that it contributes to an already anxious environment. It can be a distraction and especially. I wouldn't take it to surveillance when you say drums that claim they can tell if people are sick. Is this the the thing where companies claim? They're drones can sense. The body temperature of people they're hovering over. There's no shortage of people out there selling technical snake oil at any time. These systems have already been deployed in places like grocery stores and airports. And what these devices are. Detecting is unlikely really to correlate for for what you're what you're looking for and is likely to lead to many false positives and negatives again you already have a group of people who are who are anxious who are concerned and then to to put some inscrutable flying robot in the mix just strikes me as profoundly unwise however even if it's not drowned we do seem to be seeing a steady march toward surveillance. How much are you worried that? This is going to be an excuse to implement all kinds of surveillance. I'm very worried I mean so. So it's interesting because there are a number of efforts to try to create an APP that you can just download on your phone. That's supposed to keep you safe and that the idea would be if I knew if you went near anybody that had tested positive for virus you get a Ping and that somehow this is going to be a tool that can get us out of our houses and without risking infection so either you might be reassured that there's no instance of Corona virus in your community when in fact there is or conversely. You might be cowering at home because every couple of days you get a ping telling you you need to self quarantine and so. I think that there's a big difference between using TAC as part of the solution and falling back on tech solution them. However you gotta think that the ladder is an opportunity for tech companies who have come out in force and said we have A. We have an APP for that. We have a a camera. We haven't artificial intelligence algorithm that can more accurately predict the movements of the crowds. Should we ignore all of that? Or are you saying they're some of that could be good but we gotta be careful. I think that some set of companies are looking to their own data and asking questions. Like how can we be useful? So for example Kenza. Which is that thermometer. that's connected. That purports to tell you where there is a spike in fevers. Your they WANNA be useful with that data according to the testimony of their CEO. At a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that I also testified at. They want to be useful with that data and it could be a tool it has. It has some problems in some perils but then conversely you have situations where it seems at least to me personally that companies are just responding to social pressure especially from the White House to do something. You're innovative. You have all this data you have all this attention of the public. Do something and that. These companies are doing whatever they can to discharge their obligation and to and to get rid of the pressure to do something without actually confronting any of the hard problems. And so I think both are going on right. Even sometimes within the same company the mobility reports that Google was doing we're useful but conversely when Google teamed up with Apple to create a framework or an API for contact tracing APPs. They really did kick a lot of the hard issues down down the road and they created an architecture that might be privacy friendly being that it is decentralized but doesn't solve a lot of the hard problems that trying to use. Apps to automate contact tracing create. I think both you know I think. Sometimes companies are legitimately trying to look at the data. Say how we can help. Other companies are trying to do something so that they look like they're doing something and still others are selling snake oil that whole ecosystem is out there. Rank as low is a professor of law at the University of Washington. Police departments in Florida and Connecticut said they have considered using drones that claim they can remotely detect fevers high blood pressure heart rate and breathing rate. Say they've put those plans on hold for now over privacy concerns

But if you're thinking I've never heard of her you would not be alone. KRISTA LATCHFORD IS CEO of the Joan Mitchell Foundation. She's doing remarkably well at auction. The prices are very high but are they. High in relative to Jackson pollock no way are they high relative to Kooning nope paintings by the KOONING and pollock have gone for sixty to one hundred sixty million dollars. KRISTA says there is no record of Joan Mitchell getting. We're close to that kind of money for her work. which brings us to a big part of the reason that people have trouble naming famous women? Artists Artwork by women and men is just valued differently. Rene teaches finance at Oxford and she and some of her colleagues did an experiment. They picked paintings at random and they showed them to viewers. There's and ask them to guess if the artist was a man or a woman on average the Experiment subjects couldn't guess it was painted by man or woman. Renee says it is practically impossible to look at painting and figure out the gender of the artist but she says if the subjects guessed that the painting was painted by a woman they like the painting less renee looked millions of records from auction sales and she found out that on average work by women. Artists sells for forty percent less than work by male artists and because art by women is valued for less museums by less of it and that is how less artwork by women ends up on display in museums. Ziems at the Baltimore Museum of art only four percent of the collection is women artists. The problem is the same major museums around the country. Christopher Bedford heard the museum's director he says that's why next year any new artwork. The museum buys will be by women the various different filters that we put in place to consider acquisitions nations and have always had them. Placed considerable additions and that system comes together in various different forms specific to the museum to filter the history of art and to include or exclude. Unfortunately in the case of women artists often museums have been excluding. KRISTA says anyone who's buying art museums included has to be careful of what's called the superstar effect sales of female artists represent just the tiniest slice just two percent of the market but of the two percent. Forty forty percent is five women. That's what can happen with the superstar. Effect a tiny number of artists. Become like Tokens or symbols and art buyers or museums ziems or individuals. Feel like they've bought something by a lady and so they feel like they don't have to do anything else but then museums can essentially say okay.

The Discovery of Exoplanets
"To this day in history class where we uncover a a new layer of history every day. Today is January ninth twenty twenty. The day was January ninth nineteen ninety-two radio. Astronomers Earth Alexander Volks German and Dale Frail announced the discovery of two planets orbiting the pulsar P. S. R. B. Twelve fifty seven Plus twelve. It was the first confirmed discovery of EXO planets exoplanets our planets beyond our solar system people people have thought that there were planets around other stars for centuries but scientists did not have the tools to detect them and there was no way to know what extra solar systems systems looks like and whether there was life there astronomers in the nineteen. Th Century claimed that they've seen EXO planets but their observations were discredited is credited the first evidence of a possible exit planet orbiting a White Dwarf named Van Manen to was recorded in nineteen seventeen and in nineteen eighty eight scientists. I proposed the existence of the EXO planet gamma Ab but it was not confirmed to be in orbit around around the Star Gamma CPI until two thousand and two using the auto CBO observatory. Puerto Rico. Astronomers Volks Chin and frail searched for new pulsars and February of Nineteen Ninety voest discovered a pulsar in the constellation Virgo. That spun on this axis one hundred in sixty one times per second for rotation period of six point twenty two milliseconds. The pollstar was called. PS are twelve fifty seven plus twelve with ps are standing pulsating source of radio and the following numbers representing the pulsar's right ascension and degrees of declaration modern conventions prefix older pulsar names with the letter. B since before nineteen ninety-three pulsars were given names according to their positions the B nineteen fifty coordinate system. Now their given names based on their position in the J. Two thousand coordinate system but the pulsar had regularities. It's pulsating period. Vocation and frail discovered that there were at least two planets orbiting. Sr B twelve fifty seven plus twelve the the exoplanets were named PS are twelve fifty seven plus Twelve C and P. S. twelve fifty seven plus. Twelve D or poltergeist aced phobic tour respectively. Both are around four times as massive as earth. One has an orbital period of sixty six point five days days and the other ninety eight point two days because the exoplanets are constantly hit with radiation from the pulsar there orbiting they are rocky and cannot support. Port organic life on January Ninth Nineteen ninety-two Frail and bolster published a paper in the Journal. Nature announcing their discovery of the two exoplanets planet's two years later boasted and his colleague macy's Edge Kotecki discovered a third planet in this system it is less massive than earth and has an orbital orbital period of twenty five point three days the planet likely formed from matter ejected into space during the Supernova explosion that created the pulsar in one thousand nine hundred five. Michelle your and Dea Kahlo discovered the first known exoplanet orbiting star similar to the sign since nineteen eighteen ninety two thousands of EXO planets have been discovered most of them confirmed by NAFTA's Kepler space telescope using the transit method. The transit method that detects exoplanets by measuring the dimming of a star as an orbiting body passes between it and earth if the dimming happens at regular intervals in last a set amount of time. Then it's likely that a planet orbiting the star the intensity of dimming helps scientists determine the size ratio between the Star and the planet exoplanets have also been discovered using other indirect methods like the radial velocity method.

When we talk about the internet of things and a houseful of smart, speakers and fridges and TV's we focus a lot on privacy. But these devices are also for shopping like in this Amazon, add Alexa. What are your deal? I have several exclusive deals including Linda chocolate deluxe gift box. Would you like to buy it? Yes, that means commerce is coming inside the house kind of like an army of door to door, salesmen, offering encyclopedias or vacuum cleaners and actually some experts say that's a good model for how to regulate a future filled with smart shopping and potentially dumb decisions law. Professor Ryan Kahlo has studied digital market manipulation. He says back in the nineteen seventies. The Federal Trade Commission created new rules to deal with the door to door situation. The idea was a kind of nineteen fifties notion that women were at home. Tending to the house in their curlers. And all of a sudden, some sweet talking salesperson would come to the door and sell them a bunch of encyclopedias. A special introductory offer. Madame Calas says the FTC decided that when you're at home, you deserve more protections than when you're actively going to a store and seeking out commerce the commission decided that if you're going to be sewing stuff to people door to door you had to follow certain rules. You had to have certain disclosures. You had to have a cooling off period, meaning a window when you can cancel an order and in nineteen seventy eight the supreme court upheld restrictions on soliciting clients in person or in their homes. Here's Justice Lewis Powell in an opinion announcement the state has a strong interest in protecting the public from the aspects of solicitation that actually involve fraud undue influence, overreaching and other phones vexatious conduct. Okay. But what about when that potentially vexatious conduct comes from a smart speaker like say, Google, okay? Google talked to WalMart at or. Juice to my cart. Hi lyn. I can get you Tropicana, orange juice for five dollars and eighteen cents. Ryan Kahlo says the salesman now are inside the house were interacting with technology that we bring into our houses as though we were interacting inter personally, we have this new world in which corporations can reach us anytime and practically anywhere, and yet we're not even talking about whether the rule should be different. The FTC has sued some companies, including the smart TV maker vizo under a decades old statute around unfair and deceptive practices, but the agency told us it needs more power many show Matale is an associate director at the FTC's division of privacy and identity protection under our general ability to prohibit unfair deceptive practices. We do not have rulemaking authority. So we have recommended that congress pass a specific law on general privacy, and then gives us rulemaking authority to establish rules. That more clearly identify what practices are unlawful so far a few states like California and Oregon have passed laws that govern security around the internet of things but commerce protections. Haven't yet been part of the conversation. And now for some related links pity the poor FTC in some ways, the agency only has forty people working fulltime on privacy and data security issues. And we have to assume that all forty of them are probably trying to deal with the Facebook situation. Earlier this month, actually, FTC chairman Joseph Simmons road to congress to ask for more resources for policing tech companies. He said the UK information Commissioner's office has about five hundred employees and the Irish data protection. Commissioner has one hundred and ten you can find that story on our website. Marketplace tech dot org now between the lack of resources lack of thority and a general trend in this country of not really punishing big companies for bad behavior. Even when the FTC has sued companies for privacy or data security practices almost all of those actions over the last ten years have ended with settlements and not fines or penalties the general accountability office put out. Report in February of this year, saying the FTC has investigated one hundred and one data privacy violations since two thousand nine and the only time it had the power to issue. A fine was when there was already a settlement agreement in place that is you may recall the situation with Facebook right now it reached a settlement with the FTC in twenty eleven when the agency accused it of deceiving users by failing to keep its privacy promises where we heard that before. Right. The FTC couldn't find Facebook back then. But if it decides to now, it could find the company forty thousand dollars per user per day for every day, the company might have violated the agreement now in theory that could actually add up to a lot more than Facebook's own estimates last week that it might be fined three billion to five billion dollars. But the New York Times reported Friday that the FTC hasn't even agreed on whether to do that it is under resourced. Yes. But the agency has an. Strapped on a superhero. Cape when it comes to privacy, whatever it was adventures weekend. I'm Ali would. And that's marketplace

Ted Cruz, Harvard and NPR discussed on All Things Considered
"Stocks finished lower today on Wall Street as shares of IBM slumped after the fed signaled the need to continue to raise interest rates despite criticism from the president the Dow dropped ninety one points.

Thirty five other elected officials signed a letter pledging to stay off the station as well. Tom Robbins, a longtime New York reporter and faculty member at the CUNY journalism school said the move doesn't really surprise them. New York is a union town, or at least that's the perception. It's toxic Titian to cross the picket line a spokesperson for New York. One said in a statement. It's quote, a shame to see New York. One us as a political prop at a time.

That's after an investigation by the city and state news website found the many rooftop tanks are decrepit and potentially hazardous Manhattan. Councilman Ben Kahlo says his new Bill would require landlords to clean their water towers after city officials test them inspections of the water towers were actually happening after cleaning. And of course, they will passing with flying colors despite reporting to the contrary that these water towers were in poor condition. The Bill would also allow the city to conduct surprise inspections to make sure the reservoirs are being kept clean right now. They're scheduled with the landlord a near state health department committee has missed its deadline to recommend regulations for three types of toxic chemicals in drinking water right now. The state has no rules on whether water systems even have to test for PFOS PF and one four dioxin. Liz Miranda is with the environmental advocates of New York right now. There are thousands of people who have no idea PF away. Even in their water. They haven't had the same kind of testing that other communities have had and if they don't know what's in their water. Well, what if it's there the APA does require testing, but not for small towns so beginning for years ago residents of who sick falls, upstate New York tested the water themselves last year, they discovered their levels of PF. Oh, a were eighteen hundred times higher than the federal safety standard. The state says it plans to make recommendations by the end of the year for the rest of tonight here in our area.

Mary Louise Kelley last night, the two US Senate candidates from Texas debated in San Antonio three weeks before election day. There was an important opportunity for democratic congressman veteran Rourke an incumbent Republican Ted Cruz to make their cases to voters the debate. Like the race was downright nasty as NPR's. Wade Goodwin reports Senator Ted Cruz is reelection campaign has not been shy about attacking his opponent. Congressman Beto were Rourke on TV. I'm Ted Cruz, and I approved. This message metalwork is more extreme than he wants. You didn't know what attack at which eventually seemed to backfire cruise. Campaign. Misleadingly edited videotape to make it appear as if a Rourke said he supported flag burning which he did not say better. Rox positions are too extreme even for them just to reckless for taxes until now better work has declined to participate in negative campaigning. But with the poll showing cruise with anywhere from a six to a nine point lead, the congressman relented and has gone on the attack Republicans and Democrats alike know that we've got to lead on immigration reform, and yet Ted Cruz is the only Senator to vote against moving forward with that conversation is bounded to deport every single dream last night and their debate in San Antonio this trend continued crews painting or work as a dangerous extremist if you work in energy, if you work in oil and gas congressman rox record on this is extreme he didn't just vote for a ten dollar a barrel tax on oil. He's also voted for aggressive regulations of fracking. But unlike their first debate. Last night Aurore hit back. This is what you can expect over. The course of this debate Senator is not going to be honest with you. He's going to make up positions and votes that I've never held or ever taken is dishonest. It's why the president called wine Ted, and it's why the nickname stock because it's true, although crews would force a laugh when a work attacked him. His face revealed is true, emotions and the Senator didn't like it. But the debate in San Antonio was more than just battle. It was substantive to cruise has the numbers on his side. There are hundreds of thousands more Republican voters in Texas, the Democrats as a result. Cruise spoke mostly to his base. The state of Texas is booming. We've got right now. The lowest unemployment in forty nine years, Texas is seeing the benefits of low taxes and lower regulations and congressman or rock position is always always always in favor of higher taxes if Cruz generally played two Republican fears. What would happen? If Democrats gained any power work tended to speak to voters better angels. Whether we will remain the inspiration of the world is an open question right now. The partisanship pettiness the dishonesty that defines so much of the national conversation. We are in desperate need right now of inspiration. Although orcas running way ahead of other taxes. Statewide, Democrats close still get you know cigar? I think that a very good democratic candidate running against a flawed Republican candidate has a chance to break through. That's why Iraq came up so strong on cruise. Cal Jolson is a professor of political science at southern Methodist university Cruzan is an acquired taste people respect him as a conservative fighter. They don't necessarily like him. They gave a rock a look. But Democrats have to recognize that competitiveness is a decade or two decades out. It's not two years. It's not for years is longer than that. Because demographic change is very slow. Beto O'Rourke will appear in an hour long CNN townhall event tomorrow evening and mcallen on the Texas border Ted Cruz declined to participate. So our work will answer the voters questions himself. Wade goodwin. NPR news. Harvard is defending its admissions policy in a Boston courtroom this week. The question is whether the school discriminates against Asian American applicants the case could go to the supreme court with broad implications for -firmative action in schools yesterday. We spoke with an Asian American student who believes Harvard should consider factors including race. Kelly. Bap avant has the opposite view. She is also the daughter of Asian immigrants, and she's a junior at Harvard. Welcome to all things considered great. Thanks for having me. Why do you believe Harvard's admissions policy needs to change? I think race nearly creates illusion of diversity, and I'd love to see admissions policies change, not to have recent now Harvard says that when they do consider race, it's one of many factors that they consider it's complicated role in students life experiences would you like to see race just totally omitted from the list of factors that Harvard is considering when it assesses a student's qualifications. Yeah. I think so because when it comes down to it raises sort of something that is becoming not just merely a factor. But oftentimes the factory that a decision is based on. I think Harvard is saying that they don't do that. But what students for fair admissions has been showing in the past few days in has really brought to light is that oftentimes it is the single risk factor that comes down to someone's rejection students other admissions is the group that brought this lawsuit we should say. Yes. Yup. And I think it's scary to see this repeating in history because back in the nineteen twenties. Harvard sort of did this with Jewish applicants as well. Insert of USA personal reading to artificially keep their numbers lower. Although they were scoring higher on everything else. Similar to what happening with Asian Americans right now, some supporters of Harvard in this case have alleged that the group that brought this suit is using Asian-Americans almost as a front trying to drive a wedge among minority groups and that at the end of the day this lawsuit if it goes to the. Supreme court and a successful is really likely to help white people more than any other racial group. What do you think of that argument? I don't think that that's true at all. Clearly affirmative action has failed in its school right now. It's instead discriminated against Asian-Americans under the guise of diversity anything. This is a critical time to reevaluate. How -firmative action policies are impacting different communities. I'd like you to respond to something that Harvard senior Sally Chen said to us on the program yesterday. She plans to testify for Harvard at the trial. Here was part of our conversation. Merit means nothing without context. The kinds of barriers that people face and the kinds of the ways that they overcome and work despite these barriers I think is really important to how we're thinking about the ways in which people can succeed and can lead merit means. Nothing without context. What do you think of that idea? So I think that a lot of admissions processes should be based on just merit. But I come from an inner city public high school background, and I do recognize that merit does need to be put in context. Sometimes what resources and opportunities. People have available to them is really important. But I think that when we look at it we shouldn't just be looking at merit in the context of race. But again, like I said married in the context of economic status or something that speaks more to someone's opportunities and resources is really important. It sounds like you both agree that there are things about a person's application that cannot be quantified in grades and test scores. You just disagree about whether that list of things includes race or not. Yeah. I would agree with that. I would say that all of a sort of have the same goal of diversity on a college campus, whatever the benefits of it are, but we just don't believe that we have to resort to racial izing admissions. And instead focus on something like poverty because when we focus on something like race. I think it. Creates a sort of division in sort of diversity for the sake of diversity. And I think chief Justice John Roberts said it best when he said the only way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race, but Kelly thank you so much for talking with us today.
