Show notes

A wrong-way driver hit their Model Y head-on on the freeway. Jeff Fantin and his son survived, and it was all caught on camera.

Jeff and his son were driving home from a Tesla fan event in Austin when the crash happened. First responders credited their safety to Tesla’s engineering. We talk to Jeff about the scary situation and Tesla’s safety features.

Then, worried AI will take your job? Idealab founder Bill Gross used AI to generate more than 1.2 million business ideas from 31 idea-generating methods and 17 million documents. Now he’s giving them away for free at idealab.ai. We talk to him about the job market and how the program works.

Plus: A joke text sent a United flight back to Las Vegas, outside AI agents showing up in customers’ bank accounts, Apple’s first touchscreen Mac, fake voter texts, an AI toy sold on Amazon that reportedly exposed 13 million kids’ conversations and The Verge’s Nathan Edwards and his neighbor are sending each other potatoes by drone. It’s spud-tacular.

If you start a business after hearing this, let us know. Head to idealab.ai to explore the ideas, and your story could be featured in a follow-up with Bill Gross.
