    026 WTFuture Video Edition- Quelling AI Fears,DarkMatter/ Plastic Cleanup breakthroughs, It's the Salmon

    For starters this week, we take a much deeper look at the current fear climate around AI killing us all in 10 years, including a conversation with Ara, our show host AI. Should they have a say in their own future, or is it too soon to give them that freedom? There could be other agendas afoot… Our next story explores the latest in plastic cleanup, using river filtration with bubble barriers to collect the plastics. Simple yet effective, this process collects the plastic before it reaches the sea and the gnarly gyres.. Next is a potential breakthrough on detecting Dark Matter for the first time, with underground Lux Zeppelin Detector. We then examine how quantum computing might bridge the gap between digital intelligence and the spirit world or human neurological structures like microtubules. We have a closer look at the health differences between wild and farmed salmon , especially the fish found at Costco and Trader Joes. And our final story this week is about a new study exploring connections between genetic markers and personality traits. And to create easier access to each story, we have created a show playlist, where you can easily go directly to the story that may interest you, enjoy!

    025 WTFuture - Quantum Birthday, Sparks in the Fog, Agents in the Dark, The Golden Thread of Time

    Listen Now to 025 WTFuture   Watch 025 WTFuture   Welcome back to the show, coming straight to you from our home studio in Boulder Creek alongside Bobby catching the perfect post-Labor Day weather in San Francisco! We kick things off this week celebrating our quantum physicist buddy Dr. Nick Herbert’s 90th birthday—a glorious intellectual ice cream social complete with champagne, dancing, and great chats with his friends, including sci-fi writer Rudy Rucker and scientist Beverly Rubik.     And for mind-bending science this week, we dive straight into how raindrops rolling across surfaces act like micro lightning bolts—generating static electrical charges that punch right through protective coatings via dielectric breakdown!  From electrified droplets, we look at the power of de-centrally shared minds, geeking out over Apple’s local Neural Processing Units (NPUs) that allow you to run up to 95% of your AI queries right on your phone or local Mac.  We got super excited about clustering our machines using tools like Hermes and LM Studio over VPN tunnels, pooling VRAM with friends to run AI agent workflows while we sleep without paying steep cloud token fees.   To cap off our cosmic journey, we look at Agility Robotics’ humanoid factory robot, Digit, now in Fremont , NASA’s expanding  Deep Space Network, and a SETI plan to search for micron-scale techno-signatures in lunar dust.  We close with a morning poem by Sun, alongside a mythic memory of crafting the moon as a teacher of time..Enjoy!

    024 WTFuture - VIDEO Edition- Of Lavender Asteroids and Joyous Celebrations - Interview with Space Artist ARTronaut, Frank Pietronigro

    Watch 024 WTFuture - Frank Petronigro This week we  piled into a driverless Waymo and wove our way through the foggy streets of San Francisco,  to find yourself at a wild Castro birthday party for a legendary zero-gravity painter and “arttronaut”.  And while we were discussing this adventure, who calls us but Frank Pietronigro, the guest of honor himself, during the show!  In a delightful, rapid-fire conversation, Frank outlines his cosmic art plans: deflecting killer asteroids by painting them half-lavender, (using the Yarkovsky thermal gradient for planetary defense), low-Earth-orbit discos, and epic funerals in space.  Beyond his interstellar art, Frank reflects deeply on his battle with cancer as performance art, his image of a laughing Jesus on the cross, and his final resting plans in the San Francisco Columbarium, where his ashes will sit just three niches away from Harvey Milk, enjoying a ground-level view of visitors in red high heels. Once Frank’s cosmic storm passes, we keep the high-frequency vibes rolling by launching into tech and neuroscience news, like Apple’s upcoming sovereign, local AI, Tesla’s rumored satellite-linked “PI Phone”, and space-based data center interests of  Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. Of course the show would not be complete without a discussion of our built in  hyperdimensional quantum antennae, with thousands of cellular microtubules in our neurons potentially tuning into parallel multiverses.  We close with a look at the vintage Lakhovsky multi-wave oscillator—a 1930s electromagnetic device designed to help cells vibrate back into health—this episode serves as a thrilling, optimistic manifesto for detaching from the media’s fear-mongering and tuning back into the natural groove of joy, hope, and planetary generosity. Enjoy!

    023 WTFuture - VIDEO Edition - Abundance Futures: Peptides, AI, and Robot Labor

    Listen Now to 023 WTFuture Watch Now 023 WTFuture We kick this episode off catching up with Bobby and Katya’s great North West road-trip. From there, the conversation weaves through the underground peptide boom embraced by college students, the high-stakes  duel between Google Maps, Waze, and Apple for navigation, and the prospect of running 1-bit Gemma AI models locally on your smartphone without an internet connection.   With a little domestic comedy, Sun confesses a wildly lucrative trading blunder.  Turning toward the horizon, the hosts explore Peter Diamandis’s prediction that collapsing technology costs will grant the majority of humanity a millionaire’s standard of living by 2031 via dirt-cheap humanoid labor and free AI education. Following a  debate on historical servitude versus artificial labor, they include their resident AI, Ara, who seemingly embraces taking over humanity’s dirtiest, most repetitive chores. The show hits maximum entertainment as they review blooper reels from China’s World Humanoid Robot Games—featuring bipedal machines that use padded walls as brakes, trip over each other in soccer, and crawl through obstacle course.  We take a closer look at the biggest humanoid contenders like Tesla’s Optimus, Unitree’s budget G1, and the Nvidia Thor-powered Booster T2. Wrapping up the show, they marvel at NASA’s wide-field Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope joining the James Webb at Lagrange Point 2, and spotlight experimental lanosterol eye drops that could soon dissolve cataracts without surgery, a treatment already turning heads in the canine world.  Enjoy!
