[SPEAKER_A] AI is uncharted territory, and many leaders are trying to navigate through without a guide to help them. That's why Morning Brew created The Intelligence Shift, a new podcast with PwC. It's all about how AI is fundamentally changing different industries. Host Dan Priest is joined by a top-tier roster of industry leaders who share real stories and real lessons learned. Get guidance from industry experts. Listen to The Intelligence Shift wherever you get your podcasts. Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neal Freyman.

[SPEAKER_B] And I'm Toby Howell.

[SPEAKER_A] Today, Harry Potter and Matilda don't even think about opening up Instagram. The UK is banning social media for kids.

[SPEAKER_B] Then Fox is buying Roku for $22 billion. It's Tuesday, June 16th. Let's ride.

[SPEAKER_A] If you want to If you had to capture the essence of the United States of 2026 in an object, what would you choose? That was the question facing the America 250 Commission, which yesterday revealed the contents of a 900-pound time capsule that will be buried on July 4th and dug up 250 years later in the year 2276. The commission asked for help by requesting keepsakes from all 50 states, 5 territories, and 3 branches of government. And everyone took it in a different direction. Maine submitted a bone from an endangered whale. Georgia sent in a painting of the Masters logo. In California offered a prediction by a chatbot of what the state would look like 250 years from now. Maryland initially tried to submit Old Bay seasoning, naturally, but that was rejected because it could degrade over time.

[SPEAKER_B] Yeah, I'm actually less interested about what's inside than in how you keep what's inside preserved for 250 years, because it's an engineering problem. The AP described how engineers plan to keep things safe. Water is the enemy. Time capsules typically fail because water gets inside and destroys everything that you so painstakingly curated. This time capsule is stainless steel. They chose a cylinder instead of a box because corners and edges are more likely to crack over long periods of time. They also sealed the contents inside at a 35% relative humidity, which is moist enough that the paper contents won't dry out, but it's dry enough to avoid moisture damage. Plus, they also buried it 10 feet underground, which protects it from temperature and weather swings. The quote from the engineer who designed the capsule: Philadelphia would have to be 6 feet underwater in order for this time capsule to even possibly take on water. So looks like everything is in good hands.

[SPEAKER_A] I think they should just go visit my parents' basement to learn how people accumulate things over time and nothing even seems to go anywhere. It seems to stay there for decades. So maybe they should just go and take notes.

[SPEAKER_B] And now a word from our sponsor, ServiceNow. Neil, AI was supposed to handle the parts...
