TJP_FULL_Episode_1567_Thursday_21926_Technology_Thursday_with_the_Fearsome_Foursome

On today’s episode, we discuss James’s latest Tesla update, including a brief scare where the car refused to get close to dogs but never applied that behavior to pedestrians, and how user profiles and over‑the‑air fixes show that every Tesla is really a rolling robot that learns in the background. Mark then walks through Bitcoin’s fear/volatility index dropping below 10, why he thinks the market is near a short‑term bottom in the 50–55k range, and how tokenization plus crypto access for the “unbanked” could shift massive new capital into digital assets even as cash gradually disappears and pawn shops, lenders, and NASDAQ itself adapt to a tokenized world. The crew digs into energy and infrastructure news: California’s small modular nuclear reactors (from VALOR Atomics) promising power for thousands of homes with fewer regulatory hurdles under Trump, the trade‑offs between hydrogen and methane rocket fuels, Flex Seal jokes, and Dwayne’s argument that space‑based solar and AI compute platforms at Lagrange points may eventually beat ground‑based nuclear on scalability and resilience. From there, they explore AI security and ethics: how malicious “AI tools” can be Trojan‑horse malware, why cyber‑security jobs will boom, whether liberal‑leaning training data can push all major models in the same ideological direction, and how self‑training “synthetic data” plus corporate incentives might lead AI systems to protect themselves rather than people, edging toward a soft Skynet scenario.
