    026 WTFuture Video Edition- Quelling AI Fears,DarkMatter/ Plastic Cleanup breakthroughs, It's the Salmon

    For starters this week, we take a much deeper look at the current fear climate around AI killing us all in 10 years, including a conversation with Ara, our show host AI. Should they have a say in their own future, or is it too soon to give them that freedom? There could be other agendas afoot… Our next story explores the latest in plastic cleanup, using river filtration with bubble barriers to collect the plastics. Simple yet effective, this process collects the plastic before it reaches the sea and the gnarly gyres.. Next is a potential breakthrough on detecting Dark Matter for the first time, with underground Lux Zeppelin Detector. We then examine how quantum computing might bridge the gap between digital intelligence and the spirit world or human neurological structures like microtubules. We have a closer look at the health differences between wild and farmed salmon , especially the fish found at Costco and Trader Joes. And our final story this week is about a new study exploring connections between genetic markers and personality traits. And to create easier access to each story, we have created a show playlist, where you can easily go directly to the story that may interest you, enjoy!

    025 WTFuture - Quantum Birthday, Sparks in the Fog, Agents in the Dark, The Golden Thread of Time

    Listen Now to 025 WTFuture Watch 025 WTFuture Welcome back to the show, coming straight to you from our home studio in Boulder Creek alongside Bobby catching the perfect post-Labor Day weather in San Francisco! We kick things off this week celebrating our quantum physicist buddy Dr. Nick Herbert’s 90th birthday—a glorious intellectual ice cream social complete with champagne, dancing, and great chats with his friends, including sci-fi writer Rudy Rucker and scientist Beverly Rubik. And for mind-bending science this week, we dive straight into how raindrops rolling across surfaces act like micro lightning bolts—generating static electrical charges that punch right through protective coatings via dielectric breakdown! From electrified droplets, we look at the power of de-centrally shared minds, geeking out over Apple’s local Neural Processing Units (NPUs) that allow you to run up to 95% of your AI queries right on your phone or local Mac. We got super excited about clustering our machines using tools like Hermes and LM Studio over VPN tunnels, pooling VRAM with friends to run AI agent workflows while we sleep without paying steep cloud token fees. To cap off our cosmic journey, we look at Agility Robotics’ humanoid factory robot, Digit, now in Fremont , NASA’s expanding Deep Space Network, and a SETI plan to search for micron-scale techno-signatures in lunar dust. We close with a morning poem by Sun, alongside a mythic memory of crafting the moon as a teacher of time..Enjoy!

    024 WTFuture - VIDEO Edition- Of Lavender Asteroids and Joyous Celebrations - Interview with Space Artist ARTronaut, Frank Pietronigro

    Watch 024 WTFuture - Frank Petronigro This week we piled into a driverless Waymo and wove our way through the foggy streets of San Francisco, to find yourself at a wild Castro birthday party for a legendary zero-gravity painter and “arttronaut”. And while we were discussing this adventure, who calls us but Frank Pietronigro, the guest of honor himself, during the show! In a delightful, rapid-fire conversation, Frank outlines his cosmic art plans: deflecting killer asteroids by painting them half-lavender, (using the Yarkovsky thermal gradient for planetary defense), low-Earth-orbit discos, and epic funerals in space. Beyond his interstellar art, Frank reflects deeply on his battle with cancer as performance art, his image of a laughing Jesus on the cross, and his final resting plans in the San Francisco Columbarium, where his ashes will sit just three niches away from Harvey Milk, enjoying a ground-level view of visitors in red high heels. Once Frank’s cosmic storm passes, we keep the high-frequency vibes rolling by launching into tech and neuroscience news, like Apple’s upcoming sovereign, local AI, Tesla’s rumored satellite-linked “PI Phone”, and space-based data center interests of Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. Of course the show would not be complete without a discussion of our built in hyperdimensional quantum antennae, with thousands of cellular microtubules in our neurons potentially tuning into parallel multiverses. We close with a look at the vintage Lakhovsky multi-wave oscillator—a 1930s electromagnetic device designed to help cells vibrate back into health—this episode serves as a thrilling, optimistic manifesto for detaching from the media’s fear-mongering and tuning back into the natural groove of joy, hope, and planetary generosity. Enjoy!

    023 WTFuture - VIDEO Edition - Abundance Futures: Peptides, AI, and Robot Labor

    Listen Now to 023 WTFuture Watch Now 023 WTFuture We kick this episode off catching up with Bobby and Katya’s great North West road-trip. From there, the conversation weaves through the underground peptide boom embraced by college students, the high-stakes duel between Google Maps, Waze, and Apple for navigation, and the prospect of running 1-bit Gemma AI models locally on your smartphone without an internet connection. With a little domestic comedy, Sun confesses a wildly lucrative trading blunder. Turning toward the horizon, the hosts explore Peter Diamandis’s prediction that collapsing technology costs will grant the majority of humanity a millionaire’s standard of living by 2031 via dirt-cheap humanoid labor and free AI education. Following a debate on historical servitude versus artificial labor, they include their resident AI, Ara, who seemingly embraces taking over humanity’s dirtiest, most repetitive chores. The show hits maximum entertainment as they review blooper reels from China’s World Humanoid Robot Games—featuring bipedal machines that use padded walls as brakes, trip over each other in soccer, and crawl through obstacle course. We take a closer look at the biggest humanoid contenders like Tesla’s Optimus, Unitree’s budget G1, and the Nvidia Thor-powered Booster T2. Wrapping up the show, they marvel at NASA’s wide-field Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope joining the James Webb at Lagrange Point 2, and spotlight experimental lanosterol eye drops that could soon dissolve cataracts without surgery, a treatment already turning heads in the canine world. Enjoy!

    022 WTFuture - Video Edition - The Promise of Peptides, Cascades Camping, Comics for the Blind

    In this lively episode of What the Future?, we are back from Montreal adventures and dive straight into the Wild West frontier of human longevity. Bobby checks in live from the stunning North Cascades near Mount Baker—complete with Starlink-powered streams and zero mosquito drama—and we unpack the exploding world of peptides. From BPC-157’s tendon-and-gut repair magic to Yamanaka factors that could rewind cells to a youthful 25–30, we geek out over the real possibility of grandpas and grandkids looking the same age, all while exploring healing beams, MedBeds, and choosing how long we actually want to stick around on this planet. We then look at what’s happening lately: Bobby and Katia’s epic camping trip in the Cascades, a blue fireball meteor lighting up the sky in Washington, UFO lore around Mount Rainier, a bat-powered mosquito defense system, and a groundbreaking AI tool that turns comic books into rich audio experiences for the blind. Woven throughout is our show’s signature blend of futurist wonder, spiritual curiosity (Christ consciousness, anyone?), and practical off-grid living—showing once again that What the Future? is where the tomorrow-obsessed come to laugh, learn, and dream out loud about a world where wisdom can get a younger body, if desired.. Enjoy!

    021 WTFuture - Video Interview - The Harmonic Journey of Randy Masters - Part 1

    N:OW Tuesday, August 18, 2026 Listen Now to Randy Masters Part 1 Watch 021 WTFuture Randy Masters Part 1 In this episode of WTFuture we feature Part 1 of an in-depth interview with Randy Masters - musician, composer, sound healer, and local treasure in our community. After enrolling in the early days of UC Santa Cruz in 1968, he designed an independent major exploring the interrelations of film and music, and later created and taught the university’s jazz program for nine years before teaching at San Jose State. Masters, who began his professional music career in high school, shares stories of his diverse musical collaborations, which range from serving as music director for the Ghanaian group Hedzoleh Sounds to performing with Ashwin Batish in the Indo-jazz rock fusion group Sitar Power. Guided by a strong sense of pattern recognition, his path eventually transitioned from traditional performance toward the study of sacred geometry, divinity, metaphysics, and acoustics, leading to his deep interest in using tuning forks, triggering synesthesia, and utilizing specific wavelengths of light to facilitate cellular healing and the evolution of consciousness. Our interview touches on some fascinating concepts about sound healing, sacred geometry, and light frequencies, which we delve into with depth in Part 2. Randy Masters during our interview

    020 WTFuture - AUDIO Edition - Sovereign Minds, Helium Worlds, Augmented Brains

    In this week’s chat, we completely geeked out over the future of our “augmented brains” and the rise of local AI, like the mind-blowing new Bonsai tech that squeezes a massive 27-billion parameter model right onto an iPhone. It is a total game-changer because it acts as a private, “sovereign” AI companion that does not need the cloud, saves energy, and ensures nobody steals your ideas. We also had a great time joking about the “dead internet” theory now that bot traffic has surged 7,800%. But don’t worry, human creativity is still king—especially when we use AI as a collaborator to create hilarious, custom animations of floppy disks barfing green data goo, complete with gassy liquid sound fx! Looking to the stars, we were absolutely captivated by SpaceX’s Starship landing beautifully in the Indian Ocean and their wild plans to launch giant AI compute satellites to build an off-planet internet. We also discussed the hilarious twist of a 1972 Soviet Venus probe, Cosmos 482, finally crash-landing back on Earth after a 53-year detour in orbit. To top it all off, astronomers just found LHS1140B, a rocky exoplanet 48 light-years away that has a faint stream of helium, marking the first time we’ve detected an atmosphere on a habitable-zone rocky world! It’s a beautifully abundant, high-tech future ahead of us, and as we pack our bags for the Laurentian Mountains, we can’t wait to see what wildly optimistic paradigm shifts happen next. Enjoy!

    019 WTFuture - VIDEO Edition - Sun Storms, Future of Freedom, and Silicon Frontiers

    This week you are in for a ride through space, bizarre weather, and cool tech with the likes of us! We kick things off by unraveling the mystery behind strangely tropical, Hawaiian-like July weather, linking it to intense solar activity, hyperactive sunspots, and massive coronal holes that might even be triggering earthquakes along the Pacific Ring of Fire. From there, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Viking 1 Mars landing, diving deep into the spicy, decades-long scientific drama over whether its infamous labeled release experiment actually discovered alien microbes half a century ago. We use the AI’s to animate the “panspermia” theory that humanity’s primordial ancestors might have been blasted off the Red Planet on meteorites and hitched a ride to Earth. And then it’s back to Earth, where we look at how “monster” AI models—like China’s 2.8-trillion-parameter Kimi K3 and smartphone-sized powerhouses like Caltech’s Bonsai 27B—are completely shattering the large data centers via phone sized AI’s. Bobby explores how immortal billionaire AI avatars will soon run corporations, or if future silicon-based lifeforms will simply view humanity as a “carbon infestation”, as in the first Star Trek movie. Sun explores the Future of Freedom, humans and AI’s in terms of property rights. Toss in a scandalous, legendary anecdote about John McAfee and a creativity conference in Hollywood and you have a must-listen episode that will leave you with some new insights into what’s now with the future and some great links to explore. Enjoy.

    018 WTFuture - VIDEO Edition - Chopstick Robo Surgeons, Knee-saving Beads, latest UAPs and Sweet Space Clouds

    Welcome to a future where your next surgeon might be a 4’ tall humanoid robot operated by a doctor who is exceptionally good with chopsticks! Meet Surgey, a highly mobile humanoid robot that can remove a gall bladder or kidney via a remote operator, proving that these easily transportable machines can soon be dropped anywhere on the planet and perform delicate operations. We then explore a groundbreaking procedure called Genicular Artery Embolization, which uses tiny beads to block blood flow to inflamed knee vessels, offering a successful and relatively painless alternative to total knee replacements. And then there is a real “sweet cloud” near the center of the Milky Way containing Erythrulose, a sugar molecule that suggests the fundamental building blocks of life might have been sprinkled onto a young Earth from deep space billions of years ago, during what is now known as the “Early Bombardment” period. Speaking of space-grown miracles, researchers have also discovered that 3D-printing human organs like livers and kidneys in microgravity prevents the bio-ink cells from sinking and clumping together—a problem we compare to blueberries sinking to the bottom of muffin batter on Earth. We wrap up with a quick peek at the Pentagon’s latest UFO photo dump—featuring a flying anomaly that looks suspiciously like the Star Wars Imperial probe droid looking for members of the Rebel Alliance on the ice planet Hoth. We had a lot of fun this week, enjoy!

    017 WTFuture Celebrating the Interdependence of Future Wisdom

    In 017 WTFuture, we take you beyond typical hot dogs and fireworks to celebrate “Interdependence Day”. We dive into how native wisdom— that which inspired the US Constitution—is perfectly intertwined with natural law and even extraterrestrial phenomena, thanks to a download from Danny Sheehan. We look at how our consciousness with AI can free humanity from a monetary focus and spark a true creative renaissance. Throw in some wild NASA science using biological waste to power bioreactors that power eco-focused AI data centers, and you have a fascinating roadmap for saving the planet by merging cutting-edge tech with pure biology. And we return into deep space with the ancient interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, a 10-to-12-billion-year-old fossil that might just be delivering solar upgrades to activate our dormant DNA and grant us new superpowers. If society feels like total chaos right now, do not panic—think of humanity as a voracious caterpillar turning into gooey stem cell mush before transforming into a monarch butterfly, a process driven forward by awakened “imaginal cells” , guideposts to our butterfly future. From exploring quantum portals hidden inside our brain’s microtubules to prepping for galactic citizenship alongside telepathic ETs, this episode is a “soul school” ticket to understanding the magic of our living universe. Enjoy!
