About this episode

The episode discusses the Pentagon's secret AI deals, the implications of Elon Musk's court case, and recent advancements in quantum computing.

Elon Musk's week in court against OpenAI took a dramatic turn when he appeared to contradict his own legal team and made a startling admission about xAI's training methods. Apple is warning customers that Mac Mini and Mac Studio shortages could last months, as an unexpected wave of AI enthusiasts has overwhelmed supply. Oxford physicists made history with a first-ever quantum demonstration that could reshape the future of computing and communication. Plus: Virgin Galactic's survival is in question, SpaceX and Blue Origin make major moves, and AI is being weaponized in deeply troubling new ways.
