TJP_FULL_Episode_1517_Technology_Thursday_with_the_Fearsome_Foursome_and_Hercules

On today’s episode, we discuss a grab bag of tech and political news, from Trump’s dramatic seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker headed to Cuba to his plan for a “gold card” that lets wealthy immigrants fast-track U.S. residency. The crew digs into Venezuela’s opposition leader María Corina Machado winning the Nobel Peace Prize, as well as Elon Musk’s public spat with AOC, accusations that he is a “con man,” and questions about how real some high-profile robot demos really are. They also cover Trump’s move to buy a fleet of Boeing jets for mass deportations, simmering voter frustration over housing costs and the wider economy, and whether mainstream AI, robotics, and quantum computing are inflating a new tech “bubble” that could reshape global markets before it eventually pops.
