    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
    2026/08/22

    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!

    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.

    2026/08/03

    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!
