EP 247: TechTime with Nathan Mumm: Gaming Economics with Nintendo Switch 2's Detail, 1.5 Billion Crypto Heists, and Social Media Evolution with Guest Gwen Way Gadget "The Ring Mouse" | Air Date: 4/8… 55:27

לפני 4 ימים55:27

55:27

The battle for TikTok's future heats up as Trump grants a second 75-day extension while major players like Microsoft, Blackstone, and Amazon circle the bidding arena. With 170 million US users hanging in the balance, we unpack the complex negotiations complicated by recent tariffs and international approvals. Nintendo Switch 2's announcement brings sticker shock with its $449.99 price tag—matching PlayStation and Xbox pricing—while revealing a troubling trend in the gaming economy. We dive deep into what this means for consumers and examine how the $80 game price point and mandatory $20 upgrade fees to play older games signals a fundamental shift from ownership to rental in our digital lives. The cryptocurrency world faces its most significant heist ever as North Korean hackers steal $1.5 billion from exchange ByBit. Our analysis reveals how this brazen theft was executed, why affected investors won't see their funds replaced, and what this means for cryptocurrency security moving forward. Our Gadgets and Gear segment introduces the innovative Ring Mouse, a wearable Bluetooth device that transforms how we interact with computers. Beyond its practical applications for presentations, we explore its surprising potential for office pranks and subtle device control. We celebrate Microsoft's 50th anniversary with a fast-paced quiz on the tech giant's defining moments and conclude with our signature whiskey tasting featuring Joseph A Magnus Murray Hill Club Special Release. Whether you're concerned about digital ownership rights, fascinated by emerging tech, or simply curious about the economics reshaping our digital landscape, this episode delivers insights that will make you go "hmmm."

A groundbreaking AI application helped pull a hospice-bound patient back from the brink by identifying an unexpected treatment for a rare disease. By analyzing thousands of existing medications for potential side effects that could treat idiopathic multicentric Castleman's disease, researchers discovered a path to remission that human analysis might have missed. This remarkable story highlights AI's potential as a powerful medical tool when used to augment human expertise rather than replace it. Meanwhile, privacy concerns take center stage as 23andMe secures court approval to auction off customer DNA data despite growing protests. State attorneys general are warning consumers to delete their genetic information before the sale completes, raising fundamental questions about data ownership and personal privacy in our digital economy. Could this case establish a dangerous precedent for how companies handle our most sensitive biological information? The episode takes a fascinating detour with guest Elizabeth Bieniek, who shares insights from her journey developing WebEx Hologram at Cisco. Her book "Cake on Tuesday" offers 25 lessons for driving innovation within large corporations, distilling years of experience into practical advice for anyone looking to champion new ideas in established organizations. Biennik's approach to creating holographic collaboration technology demonstrates how visionary thinking can thrive even within corporate structures. We also explore Signal, the encrypted messaging app making headlines for its use by government officials. With features like automatic message deletion and capacity for 1,000-person group chats, this technology raises important questions about security protocols and information preservation within official channels. From life-saving AI applications to privacy threats, holographic meetings to secure messaging, this episode examines how technology continues to transform our world in both promising and concerning ways.

59:47

When technology goes wrong, the consequences can be devastating. This episode dives into the disturbing case of a Norwegian man who discovered ChatGPT had fabricated horrific false claims about him—specifically that he had murdered his two sons and served a 21-year prison sentence. His legal complaint against OpenAI raises profound questions about AI accountability and highlights the dangers of what happens when machines spread misinformation that can destroy lives. The psychological dimension of technology takes center stage as we explore a bizarre study suggesting ChatGPT experiences "anxiety" when processing traumatic narratives. We challenge the troubling trend of anthropomorphizing AI systems and discuss how attributing human emotions to algorithms might lead us down dangerous paths, particularly as more people turn to AI for therapy-like interactions. Our "Letters Segment" delivers critical warnings about current scams targeting everyday users—from sophisticated fake toll payment notices to PayPal exploitations that bypass spam filters. We break down why these scams work by triggering fear responses that override rational thinking, providing practical advice to protect yourself and loved ones from increasingly convincing digital deceptions. On a lighter note, we sample Virginia Distilling Company's port cask-finished whiskey and discuss Verizon's new satellite messaging service that allows text communication in remote areas without cellular coverage. The technology landscape continues evolving at breathtaking speed, bringing both innovation and new challenges that demand our vigilance.

58:02

Ever wondered what happens when technology designed to serve us starts serving other masters? This week's episode dives deep into the troubling intersection of technological advancement and corporate interests that often leave users vulnerable. Uber's rollout of Waymo autonomous vehicles in Austin marks an exciting milestone in driverless technology, but our analysis reveals persistent safety concerns these companies would rather you didn't focus on. With Waymo expanding beyond its controlled testing environments into everyday transportation, we explore what this means for passenger safety and the future of mobility. When Roblox CEO Dave Baszucki told concerned parents they simply shouldn't let their kids use his platform if they're worried about safety, we were stunned. With 80 million daily users (40% under age 13), this hands-off approach to platform safety reveals how even spaces designed primarily for children can prioritize growth over protection. Our cybersecurity expert, Nick Espinosa, joins us to unpack this shocking stance and what it means for digital parenting. The most chilling revelation comes from former Facebook employee Sarah Wynn Williams, who claims Mark Zuckerberg was willing to implement extreme censorship systems for the Chinese government and even deactivate a Chinese dissident's account at their request – all to gain access to the Chinese market. This disturbing case study shows how far tech giants may go when profit motives clash with democratic values. From North Korean spyware infiltrating the Google Play Store to AI search engines that are wrong a staggering 60% of the time, we're tracking the technologies that threaten your security and access to accurate information. We close with a look at Microsoft's upcoming handheld gaming device codenamed "Keenan" that aims to challenge Nintendo's dominance in portable gaming.

The battle for AI dominance takes a dramatic turn as the Department of Justice abandons its push for Google to divest from artificial intelligence firms like Anthropic. While still pursuing Chrome browser divestiture, this strategic shift acknowledges the complex balance between antitrust enforcement and maintaining America's competitive edge in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. Customer manipulation tactics come under fire with HP's now-abandoned policy of forcing callers to wait 15 minutes before speaking with support staff. This deliberate friction point—designed to push users toward digital support channels—exemplifies how companies use pain-pleasure dynamics to shape consumer behavior, similar to streaming services increasing ad frequency to drive premium subscriptions. Breaking language barriers might soon become as simple as sharing an earbud. The innovative Monoise PG2 translation earbuds offer real-time translation of over 100 languages directly into users' ears, potentially transforming international travel and diverse workplaces despite practical concerns about sharing earpieces with strangers. The scientific frontier brings both wonder and warning. Colossal Lab's woolly mammoth revival project advances with scientists creating "woolly mice" to test mammoth gene sequences. Meanwhile, the integrity of research faces threats from fraudulent studies contaminating even reputable journals—a problem magnified as AI systems train on potentially flawed research, creating a dangerous feedback loop of misinformation. Medical technology leaps forward with Forest Neurotech's non-invasive brain implant that uses targeted ultrasound to treat anxiety and depression without penetrating brain tissue. This breakthrough represents a significant advancement over competitors like Neuralink, potentially offering less invasive options for neurological treatment. Join us as we navigate these fascinating intersections of technology, ethics, and innovation while enjoying our whiskey pick of the week, Smokey Hill Barrel Proof bourbon—powerful but perhaps not worth its premium price tag.
