David and Tamler lead off with a breakdown of the new commercial for “friend (not imaginary)” a new AI necklace that takes hikes with you, interrupts your favorite shows, and will be there for your first kiss. Then we talk about a new paper co-authored by VBW favorite Joe Henrich that challenges cognitive science for pretending to be universal without offering evidence. A good discussion punctuated by David’s new theory of the rise of the autism. (TLDL the nerds are having sex).  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_Q1hoEhfk4">Friend Reveal Trailer</a> [<a href= "https://youtube.com/">youtube.com</a>] Kroupin, I., Davis, H.
