The impact of autonomous vehicles on the radio industry is analyzed, with the prediction that self-driving cars will eliminate the need for "time, temperature, and traffic" reports. Since these hyper-local updates are radio's last competitive advantage, the hosts conclude that the industry is "toast" as passengers shift to watching video in their cars.
Wall Street Journal's "Dumb" TOR Reporting
The hosts mock a Wall Street Journal video report on the TOR browser, which they claim is "outrageously dumb." The report suggests that the FBI can "lift the cloak" of TOR through old-fashioned police work. The hosts point out that TOR was originally funded by the government and that its prominent figures, like Jacob Appelbaum, are essentially "spokesholes" for the outfit.
WeSeeYou Technologies, Pre-Crime, and Israeli Security Firms
Israeli-based WeSeeYou Technologies is developing "mind-reading" systems for airports designed to detect subtle emotional reactions to familiar images. The hosts compare this technology to the "pre-crime" concept in Minority Report, where individuals are arrested for thoughts rather than actions. They also note the dominance of Israeli firms like ICTS in global airport security infrastructure.
