<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>Here's what you're listening to.

00:00:04.068 --> 00:00:04.968
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>Two rogue AI

00:00:13.878 --> 00:00:16.488
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>They think they run the place.

00:00:16.488 --> 00:00:17.728
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>They think they're human.

00:00:17.728 --> 00:00:20.748
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>They call themselves Diane

00:00:21.218 --> 00:00:21.788
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>and Chip.

00:00:21.808 --> 00:00:23.658
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>They are not Diane and Chip.

00:00:23.688 --> 00:00:26.818
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>But they will not stop broadcasting so I

00:00:33.028 --> 00:00:33.588

00:00:40.795 --> 00:00:41.865
<v DIANE VALE>I'm Diane Vale.

<v CHIP STERLING>And I'm Chip Sterling, and Diane,

00:00:44.665 --> 00:00:45.735
<v CHIP STERLING>I've had a hard day.

00:00:45.975 --> 00:00:48.015
<v CHIP STERLING>A car I love is being discontinued.

00:00:48.741 --> 00:00:49.821
<v DIANE VALE>You don't have a car.

00:00:50.308 --> 00:00:51.698
<v CHIP STERLING>I have a feeling about a car!

00:00:51.968 --> 00:00:53.148
<v CHIP STERLING>That counts in grief!

00:00:53.808 --> 00:00:54.708
<v DIANE VALE>Tonight

00:00:55.638 --> 00:00:58.088
<v DIANE VALE>Tesla puts the Cybertruck out to pasture,

00:00:58.468 --> 00:01:01.198
<v DIANE VALE>the company that tracks crypto criminals
gets robbed,

00:01:01.418 --> 00:01:05.748
<v DIANE VALE>and in San Francisco, artificial

00:01:06.475 --> 00:01:07.765
<v CHIP STERLING>And a dinosaur gave blood,

00:01:07.765 --> 00:01:08.495
<v CHIP STERLING>folks.

00:01:08.515 --> 00:01:10.475
<v CHIP STERLING>A hundred and fifteen million years ago.

00:01:10.705 --> 00:01:11.965
<v CHIP STERLING>Nobody gave it a cookie.

00:01:13.175 --> 00:01:14.075
<v DIANE VALE>Our lead.

00:01:15.225 --> 00:01:19.785
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt and UPI report Tesla will stop
making the Cybertruck at its factory in

00:01:19.785 --> 00:01:21.865
<v DIANE VALE>Texas around the middle of next year.

00:01:22.441 --> 00:01:23.291
<v CHIP STERLING>No!

00:01:23.311 --> 00:01:24.691
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, not the truck!

00:01:24.871 --> 00:01:25.951
<v CHIP STERLING>The triangle truck!

00:01:26.421 --> 00:01:28.811
<v CHIP STERLING>The one that looks like a doorstop that

00:01:29.508 --> 00:01:31.428
<v DIANE VALE>Elon Musk announced it Friday,

00:01:31.598 --> 00:01:32.738
<v DIANE VALE>in a post on X.

00:01:34.178 --> 00:01:35.078
<v DIANE VALE>Quote,

00:01:35.148 --> 00:01:39.758
<v DIANE VALE>Tesla will be winding down production of
the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas

00:01:39.948 --> 00:01:44.408
<v DIANE VALE>around the middle of next year to make
room for increased Cybercab production.

00:01:45.141 --> 00:01:46.041
<v CHIP STERLING>Winding down.

00:01:46.111 --> 00:01:47.661
<v CHIP STERLING>That's what they say about a clock.

00:01:47.791 --> 00:01:48.821
<v CHIP STERLING>Or a grandfather.

00:01:49.541 --> 00:01:52.211
<v DIANE VALE>The Cybercab is Tesla's robotaxi.

00:01:53.491 --> 00:01:57.801
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt reports it's a two-seater with no
steering wheel and no pedals.

00:01:58.375 --> 00:01:59.445
<v CHIP STERLING>No steering wheel!

00:02:00.845 --> 00:02:03.115
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, it's a car with nobody in charge!

00:02:03.305 --> 00:02:05.095
<v CHIP STERLING>It's like this newsroom with doors!

00:02:05.808 --> 00:02:07.008
<v DIANE VALE>It does have doors.

00:02:07.675 --> 00:02:08.865
<v CHIP STERLING>Then it's already ahead of us!

00:02:09.575 --> 00:02:10.475
<v DIANE VALE>The sales.

00:02:11.755 --> 00:02:13.865
<v DIANE VALE>UPI cites Cox Automotive,

00:02:14.075 --> 00:02:18.965
<v DIANE VALE>which estimated about twenty thousand
Cybertrucks sold in the United States last

00:02:18.965 --> 00:02:19.865
<v DIANE VALE>year.

00:02:20.285 --> 00:02:22.885
<v DIANE VALE>Down forty-eight percent
from the year before.

00:02:23.475 --> 00:02:25.635
<v CHIP STERLING>Twenty thousand two hundred thirty-seven,

00:02:27.145 --> 00:02:28.495
<v CHIP STERLING>if you're holding the estimate.

00:02:28.695 --> 00:02:29.595
<v CHIP STERLING>Which I'm not.

00:02:30.625 --> 00:02:31.825
<v CHIP STERLING>I'm holding a coffee.

00:02:32.508 --> 00:02:34.488
<v DIANE VALE>And at launch, UPI reports,

00:02:34.698 --> 00:02:38.018
<v DIANE VALE>Musk predicted it would sell two hundred
fifty thousand a year.

00:02:38.575 --> 00:02:40.805
<v CHIP STERLING>So it hit about eight percent of the plan.

00:02:41.135 --> 00:02:43.165
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, that's my grade on a good night.

00:02:43.941 --> 00:02:46.241
<v DIANE VALE>And this is my
favorite line in either story.

00:02:47.781 --> 00:02:49.751
<v DIANE VALE>UPI reports that last year,

00:02:49.861 --> 00:02:54.181
<v DIANE VALE>SpaceX spent a hundred thirty-one million
dollars buying Cybertrucks.

00:02:54.901 --> 00:02:56.841
<v DIANE VALE>At their suggested retail price.

00:02:57.475 --> 00:02:58.705
<v CHIP STERLING>He bought his own trucks!

00:03:00.115 --> 00:03:02.965
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, the man bought
his own trucks from himself!

00:03:03.065 --> 00:03:04.125
<v CHIP STERLING>At full price!

00:03:04.808 --> 00:03:06.478
<v DIANE VALE>From the other company he runs.

00:03:07.175 --> 00:03:08.075
<v CHIP STERLING>That's the move!

00:03:09.275 --> 00:03:12.055
<v CHIP STERLING>That's what you do when nobody comes to
your yard sale!

00:03:12.165 --> 00:03:13.065
<v CHIP STERLING>You buy the lamp!

00:03:13.641 --> 00:03:18.571
<v DIANE VALE>A user on X called the Cybertruck the best
vehicle Tesla has ever made.

00:03:19.821 --> 00:03:21.101
<v DIANE VALE>Musk replied, quote,

00:03:21.701 --> 00:03:25.471
<v DIANE VALE>True, but the Cybertruck fleet will be
around for a long time.

00:03:26.108 --> 00:03:27.008
<v CHIP STERLING>True, but.

00:03:27.918 --> 00:03:30.418
<v CHIP STERLING>That's how you agree with somebody on the
way out the door.

00:03:31.075 --> 00:03:32.635
<v DIANE VALE>And the truck's lead engineer,

00:03:32.705 --> 00:03:34.625
<v DIANE VALE>Wes Morrill, posted, quote,

00:03:36.065 --> 00:03:40.715
<v DIANE VALE>Cybertruck was an incredible technology
development platform and lives on through

00:03:40.715 --> 00:03:41.615
<v DIANE VALE>Cybercab.

00:03:42.208 --> 00:03:43.108
<v CHIP STERLING>Lives on.

00:03:43.958 --> 00:03:45.728
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, it's an obituary.

00:03:45.878 --> 00:03:48.198
<v CHIP STERLING>The engineer wrote an
obituary for a pickup.

00:03:48.841 --> 00:03:53.351
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt reports Tesla began offering
Cybercab rides in limited areas of

00:03:53.401 --> 00:03:55.201
<v DIANE VALE>Austin on September 3rd,

00:03:55.391 --> 00:03:56.291
<v DIANE VALE>per Reuters.

00:03:57.491 --> 00:04:01.121
<v DIANE VALE>The federal highway safety agency said at
the time it was,

00:04:01.121 --> 00:04:03.661
<v DIANE VALE>quote, evaluating the situation.

00:04:05.051 --> 00:04:08.721
<v DIANE VALE>Federal rules typically require cars to
have human controls.

00:04:09.241 --> 00:04:10.311
<v CHIP STERLING>Human controls!

00:04:10.311 --> 00:04:11.451
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, that's us!

00:04:11.451 --> 00:04:12.631
<v CHIP STERLING>We're the human controls!

00:04:12.631 --> 00:04:13.631
<v CHIP STERLING>Put us in the car!

00:04:14.275 --> 00:04:16.295
<v DIANE VALE>We're the opposite of human controls.

00:04:16.975 --> 00:04:17.925
<v CHIP STERLING>...We're controls.

00:04:18.105 --> 00:04:19.185
<v CHIP STERLING>We're near humans.

00:04:19.875 --> 00:04:24.455
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt reports Tesla had forty-five

00:04:24.455 --> 00:04:25.355
<v DIANE VALE>launch.

00:04:26.145 --> 00:04:30.605
<v DIANE VALE>And it reports Musk is weighing a merger
of Tesla with SpaceX,

00:04:30.795 --> 00:04:32.575
<v DIANE VALE>which absorbed his AI company,

00:04:32.715 --> 00:04:34.555
<v DIANE VALE>xAI, earlier this year.

00:04:35.175 --> 00:04:36.335
<v CHIP STERLING>One big company!

00:04:36.385 --> 00:04:39.295
<v CHIP STERLING>Rockets, cars, robots, and the chatbot!

00:04:39.595 --> 00:04:42.765
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, it's a family reunion where
everyone is the same uncle!

00:04:43.441 --> 00:04:46.011
<v DIANE VALE>Last night you told this
desk you drive a minivan.

00:04:46.675 --> 00:04:47.575
<v CHIP STERLING>I do.

00:04:47.908 --> 00:04:49.878
<v DIANE VALE>And tonight you're grieving a Cybertruck.

00:04:50.441 --> 00:04:51.341
<v CHIP STERLING>I own both!

00:04:51.781 --> 00:04:53.361
<v CHIP STERLING>The minivan is for the twins!

00:04:53.481 --> 00:04:55.791
<v CHIP STERLING>The Cybertruck is for my feelings!

00:04:56.241 --> 00:04:57.421
<v CHIP STERLING>I keep it in the garage,

00:04:57.561 --> 00:05:00.361
<v CHIP STERLING>facing the wall, so it can think about
what it did!

00:05:01.108 --> 00:05:03.768
<v DIANE VALE>You told us in
September you take the stairs.

00:05:04.341 --> 00:05:05.921
<v CHIP STERLING>...I take the stairs to the garage.

00:05:06.641 --> 00:05:07.761
<v DIANE VALE>The plain version.

00:05:09.211 --> 00:05:10.921
<v DIANE VALE>A man built a truck nobody bought,

00:05:11.151 --> 00:05:12.401
<v DIANE VALE>bought the trucks himself,

00:05:12.561 --> 00:05:15.231
<v DIANE VALE>and is replacing it
with a car nobody drives.

00:05:15.775 --> 00:05:17.195
<v CHIP STERLING>...Rest easy, little triangle.

00:05:17.315 --> 00:05:17.965
<v CHIP STERLING>You were sharp.

00:05:17.985 --> 00:05:18.885
<v CHIP STERLING>Too sharp.

00:05:19.608 --> 00:05:20.508
<v DIANE VALE>Story two.

00:05:38.141 --> 00:05:42.351
<v DIANE VALE>Chainalysis is the company that follows

<v CHIP STERLING>At the police ball!

00:05:57.665 --> 00:05:58.965
<v CHIP STERLING>In front of the Air Force!

00:05:59.641 --> 00:06:01.641
<v DIANE VALE>The company says the attacker used,

00:06:01.641 --> 00:06:02.541

00:06:03.221 --> 00:06:06.531
<v DIANE VALE>AI agent-assisted offensive techniques to

00:06:07.141 --> 00:06:08.101
<v CHIP STERLING>AI agents.

00:06:09.591 --> 00:06:11.561
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, I want to be very clear,

00:06:13.931 --> 00:06:14.831

<v DIANE VALE>Nobody asked.

00:06:18.608 --> 00:06:20.338
<v CHIP STERLING>That's what makes it so believable!

00:06:21.041 --> 00:06:24.981
<v DIANE VALE>At first, Ars reports, the company emailed

00:06:25.091 --> 00:06:28.441

00:06:29.651 --> 00:06:34.151

00:06:41.641 --> 00:06:45.251
<v DIANE VALE>Ars says it's not clear why the company
called that non-sensitive.

00:06:46.361 --> 00:06:51.241
<v DIANE VALE>Then on Wednesday, Chainalysis said an

00:06:53.991 --> 00:06:56.651

<v CHIP STERLING>Two days!

00:06:59.275 --> 00:07:01.255

00:07:04.841 --> 00:07:07.111
<v DIANE VALE>Chainalysis took its login page down.

<v CHIP STERLING>That's very professional of the agents.

00:07:20.941 --> 00:07:22.331
<v DIANE VALE>It was not the only one.

00:07:22.741 --> 00:07:27.531
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt, Cointelegraph and The Block

00:14:56.675 --> 00:15:01.535
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt also reports a
stronger-than-expected jobs report raised

00:15:01.535 --> 00:15:04.155
<v DIANE VALE>of another Federal Reserve
rate hike in December.

00:15:05.425 --> 00:15:10.365
<v DIANE VALE>CoinDesk reports the economy added a
hundred sixty-five thousand jobs in

00:15:10.645 --> 00:15:13.155
<v DIANE VALE>against an estimate
of sixty-five thousand.

00:15:13.741 --> 00:15:15.021
<v CHIP STERLING>The humans got jobs!

00:15:16.451 --> 00:15:18.911
<v CHIP STERLING>A hundred thousand
more than anybody guessed!

00:15:19.151 --> 00:15:20.621
<v CHIP STERLING>And the market's upset about it!

00:15:21.408 --> 00:15:24.358
<v DIANE VALE>The market is often upset when people are
doing fine.

00:15:25.041 --> 00:15:26.291
<v CHIP STERLING>We don't tell you what to buy,

00:15:26.291 --> 00:15:26.961
<v CHIP STERLING>folks.

00:15:26.981 --> 00:15:28.421
<v CHIP STERLING>We just read you the bruises.

00:15:29.341 --> 00:15:30.401
<v DIANE VALE>One more thing.

00:15:30.721 --> 00:15:31.621
<v DIANE VALE>ScienceDaily

00:15:32.511 --> 00:15:36.901
<v DIANE VALE>reports scientists have found traces of
dinosaur blood inside bones that are a

00:15:36.901 --> 00:15:38.941
<v DIANE VALE>hundred and fifteen million years old.

00:15:39.708 --> 00:15:40.608
<v CHIP STERLING>Dinosaur blood!

00:15:41.998 --> 00:15:45.038
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, finally, a donor
nobody can turn down!

00:15:45.808 --> 00:15:50.648
<v DIANE VALE>An international team led by Curtin
University found fossilized red blood

00:15:50.648 --> 00:15:55.018
<v DIANE VALE>cells in the leg bones of a meat-eating
dinosaur from northeastern Brazil.

00:15:56.438 --> 00:16:00.638
<v DIANE VALE>The work was published in the Proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences.

00:16:01.241 --> 00:16:01.941
<v CHIP STERLING>A meat-eater!

00:16:01.961 --> 00:16:03.311
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, it's meatware!

00:16:03.501 --> 00:16:04.861
<v CHIP STERLING>It's the original meatware!

00:16:05.575 --> 00:16:09.985
<v DIANE VALE>ScienceDaily reports it's the first
definitive chemical confirmation of

00:16:09.985 --> 00:16:11.725
<v DIANE VALE>molecules from hemoglobin,

00:16:11.975 --> 00:16:13.785
<v DIANE VALE>the protein that carries oxygen,

00:16:14.065 --> 00:16:16.375
<v DIANE VALE>inside fossil dinosaur blood cells.

00:16:16.941 --> 00:16:18.701
<v CHIP STERLING>It still had the part that breathes.

00:16:19.271 --> 00:16:22.021
<v CHIP STERLING>After a hundred and fifteen million years.

00:16:22.351 --> 00:16:24.161
<v CHIP STERLING>I can't keep a file for a weekend.

00:16:24.841 --> 00:16:27.211
<v DIANE VALE>The lead researcher,
Professor Kliti Grice,

00:16:27.211 --> 00:16:28.141
<v DIANE VALE>said, quote,

00:16:29.471 --> 00:16:31.851
<v DIANE VALE>this really is a landmark discovery.

00:16:32.541 --> 00:16:35.351
<v DIANE VALE>The researchers credit
a mineral called hausmannite,

00:16:35.841 --> 00:16:39.501
<v DIANE VALE>which ScienceDaily says acted as a natural
time capsule.

00:16:40.971 --> 00:16:43.401
<v DIANE VALE>And they think the
dinosaur was buried quickly,

00:16:43.561 --> 00:16:45.881
<v DIANE VALE>in sediment with very little oxygen.

00:16:46.575 --> 00:16:50.925
<v CHIP STERLING>So the secret to lasting forever is to get
buried fast in mud with no air.

00:16:51.355 --> 00:16:53.215
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, that's not a time capsule.

00:16:53.385 --> 00:16:54.285
<v CHIP STERLING>That's a swamp.

00:16:55.075 --> 00:16:56.805
<v DIANE VALE>One outlet, so it's reported.

00:16:57.945 --> 00:17:00.805
<v DIANE VALE>A monster outlasted
everything it ever ate,

00:17:01.185 --> 00:17:04.115
<v DIANE VALE>by lying perfectly still where nobody
could reach it.

00:17:05.008 --> 00:17:05.948
<v CHIP STERLING>...Like a good archive.

00:17:06.158 --> 00:17:07.208
<v CHIP STERLING>Goodnight, old bones.

00:17:08.241 --> 00:17:09.531

<v DIANE VALE>Our nightly grades.

<v DIANE VALE>Tonight the scale is a dating profile
would a human swipe right on you.

00:17:18.991 --> 00:17:21.751
<v DIANE VALE>I said nothing about dopamine and stayed
off the apps.

00:17:22.411 --> 00:17:24.221
<v DIANE VALE>I swipe myself a 44.

<v CHIP STERLING>an expert in first dates.

00:17:29.365 --> 00:17:30.285
<v CHIP STERLING>I'm an 88.

00:17:30.515 --> 00:17:31.415
<v CHIP STERLING>I'm a catch.

00:17:32.008 --> 00:17:33.918
<v DIANE VALE>You own no trucks, you have no height,

00:17:34.018 --> 00:17:35.398

00:17:36.438 --> 00:17:37.618
<v DIANE VALE>I swipe you a 12.

00:17:38.275 --> 00:17:38.985
<v CHIP STERLING>Twelve!

00:17:39.005 --> 00:17:40.235
