TechTime with Nathan Mumm | 180: Sam Altman Saga, Elon Musk’s X, & Guest Robert Plotkin MythBusting | Airdate: 11-21-23

We’re cracking open the Pandora’s box of AI and tech, exploring the stormy departure of Sam Altman from OpenAI and his potential move to Microsoft. Our guest, Robert Plotkin, co-founder of Blue ShiftIP, casts a new light on the fears around AI replacing authors, artists, and inventors. Rather than replace, he argues, AI will enhance skills and intensify competition. Feel the pressure rise as we venture into the need for individuals to adapt and upskill in a world increasingly dominated by AI.

Disney, Comcast, and Apple are shaking up the social media landscape, leaving platform X due to anti-Semitic content. We’re also dissecting Elon Musk’s divisive tweets and shedding light on the satirical commentary of the latest South Park episode.  Stick around as we switch gears to discuss the success of Nintendo’s Wii and its impact on the gaming market.

Last but not least, trust your palates to our resident whiskey aficionado, Marc, as he shares his experience with Elijah Craig’s 18-year bourbon. Discover how this particular whiskey measures up in quality and whether its high price point merits a place in your liquor cabinet. So raise your glass, and welcome to TechTime Radio with your Host Nathan Mumm.
