Happy birthday to Al today, aka Dr. Future! We are an acquired taste, but once acquired, we are as tasty as Guinness! This week Richard Cray discusses with us the latest with Space X’s humongus Star Ship, and it’s ground-breaking one hour flight from Texas to the Indian Ocean. Dr. Future shares his tale of losing a drone to a giant redwood in Silicon Valley. Bobby Wilder updates us on his Hawaiian adventures, and the Bitcoin flash dive, Greg Panos looks at the rise of quantum stocks and suggests we explore the free AI software, Replay AI, for cloning voices of friends, family and celebrities. Our AI, Ara, introduces a new text to video tool, IMAGINE, and Dr. F demos his use of Replay, with his Rodney Dangerfield personification, and shares a very cleverly done personalized version of the song, FAME, by Idina Menzel. Enjoy!

We begin this week celebrating Mrs. Future on her birthday, including some choice moments from the celebration.  And our solar sun is in the news this week, sporting a huge black corona, unreal!  What could it mean or do? We take a closer look, and soon we are chatting about the various kinds of UV light, especially from the Sun! Flatulence comes out when reviewing some new research on how to make such gases smell like a rose, or at least like a piece of chocolate..I kid you not, this can be done, not simply by disguising the smell, but by swallowing a pill that changes your digestive process!  Why do this? That’s another question; now lets look at the current SOLAR wind..

Earth enters a stream of fast-moving solar wind flowing from a giant hole in the sun’s atmosphere.

Meanwhile, robots cleverly disguised at humans will soon be entering our homes en mass, but like anything new, there will be issues. We think they’ll be a bit like a bull in a china shop at first, and will require special care of their host humans.  Sadly, breaking things will be normal for awhile.. Mrs. Future plans to take them up on cooking and cleaning, and her favorite pastime, game playing.  Al wonders about the bedroom.. and you if are worried about your Tesla stock, worry no more, as soon, all new Tesla cars, with the flip of a software switch, can upgrade into a fully autonomous robo-taxis, ready to make you $$$ with your car! And if your budget is not quite up to owning a robo car, there is the dog robot on a skateboard to consider.. Enjoy!
