An A.I. Pin Drops + YouTube’s Take on Deepfakes + a Lab-Grown Thanksgiving

The tech start-up Humane launched a new device, an A.I. pin meant to be worn on our clothing. Might this be the device that replaces the iPhone? It’s the question on Silicon Valley’s mind. The pin allows users to take phone calls, catch up on messages and get answers to questions, all without ever looking at a screen.

Then, why YouTube is bucking the trend on deepfakes.

Plus: We eat a Thanksgiving meal made with meat that was grown in a lab.

“Hard Fork” is hosted by Kevin Roose and Casey Newton, and produced by Davis Land, Rachel Cohn and Emily Lang. The show is edited by Jen Poyant. Engineering by Daniel Ramirez, and original music by Dan Powell, Rowan Niemisto and Diane Wong. Fact-checking by Caitlin Love.
