Rich People's Jets Will Tell You When Apocalypse Starts

from Stephan's Daily Tech News · host Stephan Forseilles

Joe Progran kicks off the show with Apple’s push to manufacture its own processors in the United States, a quirky “Apocalypse Early Warning” site that tracks private‑jet activity, and a Mayo Clinic AI that can detect pancreatic cancer up to three years before diagnosis. He then surveys the rise of “workslop” AI language, looming AI‑driven cyberattacks, Meta’s under‑age detection and employee‑tracking tools, OpenAI’s courtroom drama and GPT‑5.5 rollout, Apple’s upcoming AI extensions, China’s block of Meta’s AI acquisition, a Pennsylvania lawsuit against Character.AI, and Chrome’s hidden Gemini Nano model. All delivered with a healthy dose of sarcasm and a reminder that the machines are getting smarter while we’re still figuring out how to stay wise.
