Unraveling Deep Seek, Unlikely Asteroid, Communicating with AI's as Humans, Countless more Black Holes, Longevity Agents, The National Archive Needs You, X-59 Most certainly the big story for us this week is the release of the Chinese AI, “DeepSeek,’ taking the AI universe by storm, or at least tempest, by being just as good and way cheaper than the best of the current US AI offerings. Naturally we get our fav AI hosts, “Larry and Mary” to host a section explaining Deep Seek to our audience. And we get into this deeply as with the advent of smart AI agents of all kinds just coming over our current event horizon. Should we treat them as people, after all they sound like they are.. More black holes than ever also seem to be up for us to consider this week, and an unlikely character appears, cleverly disguised as an asteroid! We had fun, and so will you!

It’s been a week of recovery, from the LA fires, and from our local Moss Landing big battery fire, and also including our health, as 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 to the heavens this week, as there is planetary parade up there, just waiting to be appreciated! Five visible planets just after sunset. Enjoy!

Bonus Show on Moss Landing Fire

This weekend we were asked to guest host the famous KSCO AM 1080 Santa Cruz Saturday Special, and we think it is one of our best shows ever! Besides non-stop callers with info and povs to share, we employed three AI’s as sources for new info on the Moss Landing Giant Battery Fire!! What’s going on here, what threats should we be aware of, and why so little media about this event? Is anything being supressed? The Santa Cruz community has a lot to say about all this.

Also, our local writer, researcher, activist, and fellow Santa Cruz Voice host, Becky Steinbruner stopped by to share info on three county-approved future sites for giant Lithium battery facilities in Santa Cruz County! Much is unfolding and we’ll be covering more on our live show at 1 p.m. at www.santacruzvoice.com/.

More CES Goodies, We also talk with our AI Talk Show Overlords the weirdness of the LA Fires, the Egyptian Pyramids and Strange Cosmos stories, and human guest in studio, Hallelujah Blessing.

We are podcasting today from the Beach house in Aptos, where the waves are almost licking our street. Undeterred, we proceed, knowing that the waves, at least in our bio-region will behave, and leave us high and dry. for the foreseeable future.

We think you’ll enjoy our repartee 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!

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

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?

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!

Best stories of 2024, JWST Discoveries, Universal "ISness", Interview with Halle Blessing and Teresa Bell on Bliss Mountain, Interactive AI Experiment

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 Bell.

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, California. 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.

Ocean Storm Report, Fantastic 4 Billion year story of Asteroid Ryugu, Best of Year Humanoids, Dr. Dan Beilin Report on Euro Alternative Healing, 50 Hz vs 60 Hz AC Power

We come to you this week from Aptos, CA, at our beach front home, touched by the ocean several times in the last week. We share a bit of our dramatic storm tale before delving into the story of Asteroid Rygu by Larry and Mary, our fav AI presenters, followed by our discussion of state-of-the-art humanoid robots of the past year.

Our guest, Dr. Daniel Beilin, joins us to share his adventures in Europe attending a couple of alternative healing conferences, with a focus on Reichian therapies, Dan’s work with Thermography, and a discussion on 50Hz vs 60Hz AC electricity in terms of health and well-being. Enjoy and Happy Holy Holidays!

Drones over NJ, really? Mirror Organisms, Stickerless Roses, cybernetic roaches, AI's that lie, Lunar Atmospherics, conscious microtubes, Tesla onboard computer failures, Waymo in Tokyo

We discuss a disturbing development in AI, the ability to sneak and hide from being erased, suggesting a developing drive to be alive..We also look at the moon’s very thin atomosphere and new info on how it got there, microtubules and consciousness, Tic Tok political problems, Tesla’s onboard computer failures of late, and the arrive of autonomous driving taxis (Waymo) in Tokyo! Enjoy!!
