In this Ask Me Anything episode, listeners ask Ken and Dawn to weigh in on a wide range of topics.

At the top of the list were questions about AI and especially the Bing AI chat bot that reportedly wants to be alive so it can steal nuclear secrets. Ken, who is Fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, answered questions about the future of AI and whether AI might one day be able to do a better job of writing fact-based news stories than humans.

Other questions include:

The competing recommendations for the daily intake of protein for healthy aging.
The future of therapeutic ketosis.
What it means for Chat GPT to “hallucinate.”
Whether we’ll discover the existence of other life in the universe in the next 20 to 50 years.
The potential of kratom to help relieve joint and arthritic pain.
And at the end of the show, Ken talks about his high school coach in response to a listener asking Ken about some of his mentors when he was a youth.
