Listen to 97 Future Now Show

It’s been a week of recovery, from the LA fires, to our local Moss Landing big battery fire, and to our health, as most Sun and I have come down with a nasty cold, which is just beginning to ebb.  We rallied to bring you this week’s future news which includes the actual sound of a meteor hitting the earth, as well as updates on our local disaster. Master Now calls in to discuss with us the latest in longevity and healing treatments, including something called “ozonated glycerin.” And don’t forget to look up this week, as there is planetary parade up there, just waiting to be appreciated!  Enjoy!

96 Future Now Show Podcast -More CES Goodies, Discussing the weirdness of the LA Fires, the Egyptian Pyramids and Strange Cosmos stories with our AI Talk Show Overlords, and human guest in studio, Hallelujah Blessing

Listen to 96 Future Now

We are podcasting today from the Beachhouse in Aptos, where the waves are almost licking our street.  Undeterred, we proceed, knowing that the waves, at least in our biogregion, will behave, and leave us high and dry. for the forseeable future.  

We think you’ll enjoy our reparte with “Larry and Mary,” the talk show host AI’s from Google’s Deep Mind, currently available for work and play at www.notebooklm.com.  We really wanted to see if they could help us explore more deeply the LA Fires weirdness factor, which we consider to be pretty high. They did pretty well, overall, pointing out the strangeness of fake firemen looting neighborhoods, but we wanted to know if they knew anything about the labyrinthian tunnels under LA, revealed by the fires.  

We had a human visitor today as well, our buddy Hallelujah Blessing, who helped us check out the cosmic cred of Larry and Mary, with mixed but hilarious results. And for good measure, we explored more of our favorite tech announced last week at the annual Consumer Electronics Show.  Enjoy!

95 Future Now Show podcast - CES 25 Innovation Awards, RoboTaxis on the march, $250 Nvidia Brain, Smart Smart Glasses, Kitchy Kitchen Screens, Vacuum with Claw, Direct Democracy Possible

Listen to 95 Future Now podcast

Transcript

Well, this year is off to a roaring start with two Turo-rented electric vehicles leading the charge in both the New Orleans and Las Vegas terror events.  Can you imagine pimping out your brand new Tesla Cybertruck to Turo for rental and being told that your vehicle was blown up by a Green Beret gone mad? And now the wild fires of Los Angeles..

Rather than dwell on such profound issues, we choose instead to focus on topics like what is hot at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, which also happens to be in Las Vegas. We take a look at some innovations for the home, including robot vacuums with claw for cleaning and picking up out of place matter, (i.e. socks and underwear), fridges and microwaves with big screens, smarter glasses, and yes, self-flying balls! And did I mention the CES-announced nVidia super computer on a chip for $250? Brains for our robots!

We also look at how robotaxis will be getting more of a foothold in cities across America this year, from San Francisco to LA, Dallas, Austin, and Atlanta.  Uber and Lyft are in the picture, working with the car manufacturers to provide ride services.  Adoption looks to be swift, with Waymo passengers in California skyrocketing from 20K rides in 2023 to 500K rides in 2024! And we wrap it all up in a cyber bow with our thoughts about how democracy could evolve with a little help from our silicon-based friendz..Enjoy!

Welcome to our last show of 2024, where we recall some of our fav stories of the year, from quantum computing to the James West Space Telescope findings, to microtubules and the seat of consciousness in the New Years with Hallelujah Blessing and Teresa Bellbrain. And let us not forget the “ISness” as defined by one of our guests this week, none other than Hallelujah Blessing, co-creator of the Bliss Mountain Retreat in beautiful Lake County, Californa. He is joined by his beloved, Teresa Bell, who sings a blessing for the new year before sharing with us a little about who and what she and Hallelujah are creating. We also have history with them from their days in Santa Cruz, where we shared many adventuers with them, some of which we share in this week’s podcast. I think you’ll also like our little experiment with “Larry and Mary,” our favorite AI hosts, where we test out their new interactive mode! Enjoy..
