A promising future lies in potential symbiotic relationships between our tech and nature. A example of theat lies with the use of algae in the generation of energy from solar panels. And…how might the climate change gas of methane be actually useful in making things better for us and our planet? This week, the Planetary Society’s latest Solar Sail spacecraft is now in orbit, and if successful, could pave the way for easy and cheap travel to other planets..slow but steady.. We were inspired by Nina Paley’s review of the new Dune 2 movie and had to share some quotes with you. And while on the movie front, Mrs. Future had some profound things to say about the Netflix documenatry, “The Antisocial Network,” about the history of 4chan and how it led to the QAnon conspiracy theory and the January 6th riots. Nothing to think about there :-) .

We also discuss some of the big future predictions of venture capitalist Vinod Khosla, such as how expertise will soon be free and we’ll all use AI agents for getting information. And there are our initial experiments to see how the AI’s can make $$ for us, including the use of humor. Also this week we enlisted the free ‘expertise’ of coffee entrepreneur Gabrielle Cianfrani in evaluating AI’s foray into coffee blending, and it’s somewhat atypical choices. Enjoy!

AI creates a new kind of coffee blend that is very tasty
