    Mother-daughter duo blend maths and sex history

    Mathematician Dr Susan James and sex historian Dr Esme James have collaborated on a new show combining statistical research with historical insights about intimacy and relationships. Their survey data reveals that relationship quality often improves with age, with over 70% of participants above 60 rating their life satisfaction at 8 out of 10 or higher. The research also shows that marriage doesn't decrease bedroom satisfaction as commonly believed, and that 50% of Australians desire being worshipped or praised by their partners.

The company has developed Mythos, a model so powerful they're withholding its public release, whilst simultaneously advocating for a pause. Despite calls for regulation from various global voices including the Pope, enforcing a worldwide freeze faces significant challenges as AI companies themselves don't fully understand how their neural network models work, and there's minimal international regulation in place.
