This week, Chris talks about how artificial intelligence and deep learning so complex that researchers have to do experiments to figure out how they work; Stu tells us about a new theory that our hominin predecessors, Homo erectus, may have gone extinct due to laziness; and Claire shares the discovery of ancient Egyptian cheese that's over 3 thousand years old and probably poisonous.
