006 WTFuture - VIDEO podcast - New Living Expo, Ancient Gears, Mitochondrial upgrades, The Cult of Mythos and Telepathic Walk-ins

In this delightfully chaotic episode of What the Future, the hosts dive headfirst into the weird and wonderful, kicking things off with a recap of the multi-generational New Living Expo. It is a wild ride through reports of impending ET contact, channeling dragon energy, “walk-in” aliens treating human bodies like cosmic Airbnbs, and a surprisingly talented rapping event producer.

However, the mystical vibes quickly collide with technological paranoia as the crew debates “Mythos,” a god-like hacker AI from Anthropic, capable of effortlessly dismantling and repairing any operating system. Depending on which host you ask, this autonomous AI is either the ultimate catalyst for pushing humanity toward a telepathic, secret-free utopia or a privacy-destroying Skynet destined to replace every app on your smartphone.

The futuristic musings do not stop there, pivoting from inner space to outer space with news of the Curiosity rover stumbling upon the nitrogen and sulfur-bearing organic building blocks of life in Mars’ Gale Crater. Back on Earth, the hosts geek out over the bio-hacking potential of mitochondrial transplants and freshly accessible peptides like MOTS-c, which act as tiny cellular batteries to potentially reverse disease and cellular degradation.

Finally, with a little help from their resident AI assistant Ara, they unravel the ancient mystery of the Antikythera Mechanism—a 2,000-year-old, 26-gear Greek analog computer likely forged in Rhodes to track a 354-day lunar calendar. From alien hybrids to ancient gadgets and AI overlords, it is a whirlwind tour of everything past, present, and entirely out of this world. Enjoy!
