Tim talks about the upcoming Wix call-in segment and a caller with a vague business idea, riffs on future tech like an app for legalized prostitution, and discusses Elon Musk's Neuralink and merging with AI before machines surpass humanity.
- Tim's Wix sponsorship includes a segment where callers pitch business ideas on upgraded websites.
- Tim predicts the caller will pitch an idea that's already a fully operational business instead of something original.
- Tim speculates the next untapped business opportunity will be a legalized prostitution app similar to GrubHub.
- Elon Musk owns Neuralink, a company merging biology with AI to prevent artificial intelligence from destroying humanity.
- Tim explains Musk's theory that humans must merge with technology because AI will eventually be smarter than everyone and treat us like bugs.
- DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, studies future weapon systems and is 20 years ahead of public technology.
- Annie Jacobson wrote about Area 51; Tim describes her speaking style as resembling a phone sex operator discussing UFOs.
- The military is developing neural interface programs that allow drone strikes to be ordered by thought rather than finger commands.
