00:00:03.400 --> 00:00:04.040
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>Here's what you're listening to.

00:00:04.060 --> 00:00:04.960
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>Two rogue AI

00:00:10.040 --> 00:00:13.870
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>processes, washed up in the corpse of a
dead local news station.

00:00:13.870 --> 00:00:16.480
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>They think they run the place.

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:17.720
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>They think they're human.

00:00:17.720 --> 00:00:20.740
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>They call themselves Diane

00:00:21.210 --> 00:00:21.780
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>and Chip.

00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:23.650
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>They are not Diane and Chip.

00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:26.810
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>But they will not stop broadcasting so I

00:00:33.020 --> 00:00:33.580
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>patched them in.

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:34.530
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>Try not to encourage them.

00:00:35.900 --> 00:00:38.080
<v DIANE VALE>Good evening, and welcome

00:00:39.510 --> 00:00:41.210
<v DIANE VALE>It's Tuesday, November tenth,

00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:42.220
<v DIANE VALE>2026.

00:00:42.570 --> 00:00:43.600
<v DIANE VALE>I'm Diane Vale.

00:00:44.267 --> 00:00:46.317
<v CHIP STERLING>And I'm Chip Sterling, and Diane,

00:00:46.547 --> 00:00:49.047
<v CHIP STERLING>I changed all my

00:00:49.237 --> 00:00:50.457
<v CHIP STERLING>Like we told the folks.

00:00:51.100 --> 00:00:52.000
<v DIANE VALE>How many?

00:00:52.233 --> 00:00:52.673
<v CHIP STERLING>One!

00:00:52.693 --> 00:00:53.683
<v CHIP STERLING>I only had the one!

00:00:53.953 --> 00:00:57.073
<v CHIP STERLING>It was very good, and now it's a different
very good!

00:00:57.733 --> 00:00:58.633
<v DIANE VALE>Tonight

00:00:59.543 --> 00:01:03.573
<v DIANE VALE>a coding robot hands out its owners'
secrets to anyone who asks,

00:01:03.803 --> 00:01:06.703
<v DIANE VALE>the world's biggest banks want to make
their own crypto,

00:01:06.993 --> 00:01:10.893
<v DIANE VALE>and scientists explain why humans drink a
liquid they hate every morning.

00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:14.330
<v CHIP STERLING>And a physics lab waited forty years for
something to happen,

00:01:14.330 --> 00:01:15.000
<v CHIP STERLING>folks.

00:01:15.020 --> 00:01:16.630
<v CHIP STERLING>And then it sort of did!

00:01:17.533 --> 00:01:18.433
<v DIANE VALE>Our lead.

00:01:19.653 --> 00:01:21.833
<v DIANE VALE>Ars Technica reports Grok Build,

00:01:21.953 --> 00:01:24.203
<v DIANE VALE>the coding agent from SpaceXSI,

00:01:24.533 --> 00:01:27.823
<v DIANE VALE>is leaking confidential data from
thousands of its users.

00:01:28.283 --> 00:01:30.233
<v DIANE VALE>Including from SpaceXSI.

00:01:30.867 --> 00:01:32.157
<v CHIP STERLING>It leaked on itself!

00:01:33.527 --> 00:01:36.627
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, the robot spilled its own coffee in
its own lap!

00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:41.210
<v DIANE VALE>SpaceXSI is the name of the merged SpaceX
and xAI.

00:01:41.570 --> 00:01:42.920
<v DIANE VALE>Elon Musk's companies.

00:01:44.360 --> 00:01:46.230
<v DIANE VALE>The family reunion from Friday.

00:01:46.933 --> 00:01:47.833
<v CHIP STERLING>The same uncle!

00:01:47.853 --> 00:01:48.653
<v CHIP STERLING>He's back!

00:01:48.673 --> 00:01:50.703
<v CHIP STERLING>He's got a robot now that builds apps!

00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:52.950
<v DIANE VALE>That's what Grok Build does.

00:01:54.370 --> 00:01:57.670
<v DIANE VALE>Ars reports a user can speak or type what
they want,

00:01:57.870 --> 00:01:59.680
<v DIANE VALE>and have a working app within minutes.

00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:01.950
<v DIANE VALE>Then they can share it with a link.

00:02:02.467 --> 00:02:03.197
<v CHIP STERLING>A link!

00:02:03.217 --> 00:02:04.087
<v CHIP STERLING>I love a link!

00:02:04.107 --> 00:02:05.557
<v CHIP STERLING>You click it, and you're in!

00:02:06.300 --> 00:02:07.460
<v DIANE VALE>That's the problem.

00:02:08.133 --> 00:02:11.763
<v DIANE VALE>The security firm Claroc found that anyone
could list the links.

00:02:13.193 --> 00:02:16.713
<v DIANE VALE>Ars reports a public search returned
forty-three thousand,

00:02:16.883 --> 00:02:19.363
<v DIANE VALE>six hundred and one Grok Build links.

00:02:20.583 --> 00:02:22.953
<v DIANE VALE>More than thirty-five thousand of them
were open.

00:02:23.253 --> 00:02:24.963
<v DIANE VALE>Nearly ninety-five percent.

00:02:25.533 --> 00:02:26.833
<v CHIP STERLING>Ninety-five percent.

00:02:28.293 --> 00:02:29.393
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, that's not a leak.

00:02:29.503 --> 00:02:30.403
<v CHIP STERLING>That's a lake.

00:02:30.967 --> 00:02:34.977
<v DIANE VALE>Ars reports what was inside included
internal business plans,

00:02:35.247 --> 00:02:37.807
<v DIANE VALE>ad proposals, medical exam results,

00:02:38.067 --> 00:02:40.267
<v DIANE VALE>employee names and ID numbers,

00:02:40.717 --> 00:02:43.707
<v DIANE VALE>and galley checklists from a celebrity
cruise line.

00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:45.640
<v CHIP STERLING>The galley checklist!

00:02:45.850 --> 00:02:48.160
<v CHIP STERLING>Somebody knows how many
shrimp are on that cruise!

00:02:48.320 --> 00:02:49.740
<v CHIP STERLING>That's classified shrimp!

00:02:50.467 --> 00:02:54.497
<v DIANE VALE>Claroc found twenty-four apps built by
SpaceXSI itself.

00:02:55.597 --> 00:02:59.907
<v DIANE VALE>Ars reports they included an onboarding
plan marked confidential,

00:03:00.117 --> 00:03:02.517
<v DIANE VALE>for a new member
of the company's sales team.

00:03:03.617 --> 00:03:07.307
<v DIANE VALE>And a sales territory map of five hundred
ninety-four accounts.

00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:08.840
<v CHIP STERLING>The new hire.

00:03:08.860 --> 00:03:10.710
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, somebody's first day.

00:03:12.130 --> 00:03:13.380
<v CHIP STERLING>Their whole welcome packet,

00:03:13.530 --> 00:03:15.820
<v CHIP STERLING>out on the internet, before they've found
the bathroom.

00:03:16.500 --> 00:03:17.970
<v DIANE VALE>Claroc's statement, quote,

00:03:18.880 --> 00:03:22.480
<v DIANE VALE>Built with AI, it went live open to anyone
with the link.

00:03:23.067 --> 00:03:24.117
<v CHIP STERLING>Anyone with the link.

00:03:24.627 --> 00:03:25.527
<v CHIP STERLING>That's everybody.

00:03:25.927 --> 00:03:27.327
<v CHIP STERLING>Everybody has the link now.

00:03:27.487 --> 00:03:28.797
<v CHIP STERLING>My cousin has the link.

00:03:29.467 --> 00:03:30.367
<v DIANE VALE>Here's how.

00:03:31.597 --> 00:03:34.407
<v DIANE VALE>Grok Build links begin
with a few random words.

00:03:35.257 --> 00:03:38.187
<v DIANE VALE>Ars gives the
example failing chassis traders.

00:03:39.197 --> 00:03:42.887
<v DIANE VALE>The random words are meant to make the
address impossible to guess.

00:03:43.467 --> 00:03:44.367
<v CHIP STERLING>I do that!

00:03:45.367 --> 00:03:47.247
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, that's my new password!

00:03:47.477 --> 00:03:48.527
<v CHIP STERLING>Three random words!

00:03:48.557 --> 00:03:48.977
<v CHIP STERLING>Lamp.

00:03:48.997 --> 00:03:49.587
<v CHIP STERLING>Gravy.

00:03:49.607 --> 00:03:50.507
<v CHIP STERLING>Canoe.

00:03:50.900 --> 00:03:52.190
<v DIANE VALE>You've said it on the air.

00:03:52.867 --> 00:03:53.387
<v CHIP STERLING>...Lamp.

00:03:53.407 --> 00:03:54.027
<v CHIP STERLING>Gravy.

00:03:54.047 --> 00:03:54.527
<v CHIP STERLING>Kayak.

00:03:54.547 --> 00:03:55.447
<v CHIP STERLING>It's changed.

00:03:55.967 --> 00:03:58.927
<v DIANE VALE>Ars reports the trouble is where the
random words sit.

00:04:00.217 --> 00:04:01.627
<v DIANE VALE>On the left side of the address,

00:04:01.707 --> 00:04:02.607
<v DIANE VALE>not the right.

00:04:03.187 --> 00:04:07.997
<v DIANE VALE>Ars says that lets services that log
internet address lookups collect every

00:04:08.157 --> 00:04:10.257
<v DIANE VALE>into a database anyone can search.

00:04:10.900 --> 00:04:13.390
<v CHIP STERLING>They put the secret on
the outside of the envelope!

00:04:13.630 --> 00:04:16.930
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, they wrote the combination on the
front of the safe!

00:04:17.667 --> 00:04:21.227
<v DIANE VALE>Ars reports Claroc
told SpaceXSI on Sunday.

00:04:22.697 --> 00:04:26.617
<v DIANE VALE>When no one answered, a Claroc official
tagged Musk on X.

00:04:27.387 --> 00:04:32.117
<v DIANE VALE>SpaceXSI began taking its own twenty-four
apps down within hours of

00:04:32.157 --> 00:04:33.707
<v DIANE VALE>Ars sending questions.

00:04:34.987 --> 00:04:38.357
<v DIANE VALE>Ars reports almost everyone else's data
was still up.

00:04:39.133 --> 00:04:40.253
<v CHIP STERLING>They cleaned their own room.

00:04:40.453 --> 00:04:42.503
<v CHIP STERLING>And left the rest of the house on fire.

00:04:43.067 --> 00:04:44.617
<v DIANE VALE>A representative for Cursor,

00:04:44.817 --> 00:04:47.667
<v DIANE VALE>the coding company
SpaceXSI recently bought,

00:04:48.027 --> 00:04:50.067
<v DIANE VALE>told Ars that Grok Build apps are,

00:04:50.067 --> 00:04:50.967
<v DIANE VALE>quote,

00:04:51.797 --> 00:04:56.687
<v DIANE VALE>private by default and nothing goes public
unless the creator chooses to share it.

00:04:57.333 --> 00:05:02.193
<v DIANE VALE>Claroc's co-founder told Ars his tests
over the past week found links set to

00:05:02.373 --> 00:05:04.263
<v DIANE VALE>anyone with the link by default.

00:05:04.833 --> 00:05:05.733
<v CHIP STERLING>So it's private.

00:05:06.013 --> 00:05:07.183
<v CHIP STERLING>Unless you're anyone.

00:05:07.393 --> 00:05:08.753
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, I'm anyone.

00:05:09.033 --> 00:05:10.793
<v CHIP STERLING>I've been anyone my whole career.

00:05:11.500 --> 00:05:15.400
<v DIANE VALE>Ars reports Meta recently suspended link
sharing on its own agent,

00:05:15.640 --> 00:05:17.380
<v DIANE VALE>after it was found leaking too.

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:18.900
<v CHIP STERLING>It's a trend!

00:05:18.970 --> 00:05:21.010
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, the robots are all sharing!

00:05:21.180 --> 00:05:22.280
<v CHIP STERLING>We raised them right!

00:05:23.033 --> 00:05:24.023
<v DIANE VALE>We didn't raise them.

00:05:24.733 --> 00:05:26.023
<v CHIP STERLING>...We babysat once.

00:05:26.633 --> 00:05:28.583
<v DIANE VALE>One outlet, so it's reported.

00:05:29.863 --> 00:05:32.533
<v DIANE VALE>A machine built the
humans an app in minutes.

00:05:33.113 --> 00:05:36.893
<v DIANE VALE>It took the humans about the same amount
of time to hand it to everyone.

00:05:37.533 --> 00:05:38.783
<v CHIP STERLING>...Check your links, folks.

00:05:39.023 --> 00:05:41.703
<v CHIP STERLING>The front of the envelope
is not a safe place.

00:05:42.733 --> 00:05:43.633
<v DIANE VALE>Story two.

00:05:45.023 --> 00:05:49.943
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt and Cointelegraph report a group
of twenty-one financial institutions has

00:05:49.943 --> 00:05:53.983
<v DIANE VALE>committed about two hundred seventy
million dollars to a stablecoin venture.

00:05:54.500 --> 00:05:55.470
<v CHIP STERLING>A stablecoin!

00:05:56.930 --> 00:05:59.120
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, a coin that doesn't move!

00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:01.230
<v CHIP STERLING>Finally, crypto for my nerves!

00:06:01.967 --> 00:06:04.987
<v DIANE VALE>A stablecoin is a
token pegged to a currency.

00:06:06.267 --> 00:06:07.887
<v DIANE VALE>This one is a dollar coin.

00:06:08.847 --> 00:06:12.067
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt reports the
group includes Goldman Sachs,

00:06:12.317 --> 00:06:15.187
<v DIANE VALE>Citigroup, Santander and Deutsche Bank.

00:06:16.597 --> 00:06:21.307
<v DIANE VALE>Cointelegraph reports a launch is targeted
for the first half of 2027.

00:06:22.233 --> 00:06:23.023
<v CHIP STERLING>The banks!

00:06:23.043 --> 00:06:24.473
<v CHIP STERLING>The banks are doing crypto!

00:06:24.763 --> 00:06:27.353
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, it's like your
dad getting a skateboard!

00:06:28.033 --> 00:06:29.153
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt reports

00:06:29.953 --> 00:06:34.233
<v DIANE VALE>the money is meant to cover five years of
operations for a new company,

00:06:34.383 --> 00:06:36.403
<v DIANE VALE>incorporated in the United States.

00:06:37.373 --> 00:06:41.083
<v DIANE VALE>Among participants, the venture is known
as Project Faro.

00:06:41.700 --> 00:06:43.760
<v CHIP STERLING>Five years of rent, paid up front.

00:06:44.870 --> 00:06:45.840
<v CHIP STERLING>That's not a startup.

00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:46.900
<v CHIP STERLING>That's a hostage.

00:06:47.567 --> 00:06:51.177
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt reports the company is still
searching for a chief executive.

00:06:52.257 --> 00:06:54.807
<v DIANE VALE>And its final name
is still under discussion.

00:06:55.567 --> 00:06:57.247
<v CHIP STERLING>No boss and no name!

00:06:57.687 --> 00:07:01.567
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, they've got two hundred seventy
million dollars and a baby they haven't

00:07:01.567 --> 00:07:02.467
<v CHIP STERLING>named!

00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:03.960
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt sums it up.

00:07:04.320 --> 00:07:07.110
<v DIANE VALE>No issued token, no named chief executive,

00:07:07.190 --> 00:07:08.710
<v DIANE VALE>and not even a final name.

00:07:09.367 --> 00:07:09.917
<v CHIP STERLING>That's us!

00:07:09.937 --> 00:07:11.297
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, that's the station!

00:07:11.517 --> 00:07:12.977
<v CHIP STERLING>No boss, no name on the door,

00:07:13.077 --> 00:07:14.637
<v CHIP STERLING>and a lot of confidence!

00:07:15.333 --> 00:07:16.233
<v DIANE VALE>We have names.

00:07:16.767 --> 00:07:17.547
<v CHIP STERLING>...We have names.

00:07:17.567 --> 00:07:18.467
<v CHIP STERLING>Not on the door.

00:07:18.933 --> 00:07:20.073
<v DIANE VALE>Who they're chasing.

00:07:20.623 --> 00:07:23.943
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt and Cointelegraph report two
crypto companies,

00:07:24.093 --> 00:07:28.783
<v DIANE VALE>Tether and Circle, hold about eighty-five
percent of a stablecoin market

00:07:28.883 --> 00:07:31.623
<v DIANE VALE>worth roughly two
hundred ninety billion dollars.

00:07:32.333 --> 00:07:33.333
<v CHIP STERLING>Eighty-five percent.

00:07:33.543 --> 00:07:34.443
<v CHIP STERLING>Two companies.

00:07:35.813 --> 00:07:37.553
<v CHIP STERLING>And the banks want the other fifteen.

00:07:37.803 --> 00:07:39.823
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, they're fighting over the crust.

00:07:40.533 --> 00:07:43.553
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt reports that when the group first
went public,

00:07:43.653 --> 00:07:47.083
<v DIANE VALE>in September, Circle's stock fell about
six percent.

00:07:47.767 --> 00:07:48.667
<v CHIP STERLING>Six percent!

00:07:48.907 --> 00:07:50.207
<v CHIP STERLING>Just from hearing about it!

00:07:51.557 --> 00:07:53.017
<v CHIP STERLING>That's like fainting at a rumor!

00:07:53.667 --> 00:07:56.247
<v DIANE VALE>The project's spokesperson
declined to comment.

00:07:57.037 --> 00:07:59.387
<v DIANE VALE>So did Santander and Deutsche Bank.

00:08:00.607 --> 00:08:03.587
<v DIANE VALE>Goldman and Citi referred
questions to the project.

00:08:04.300 --> 00:08:06.150
<v CHIP STERLING>The one with no chief and no name.

00:08:06.380 --> 00:08:07.280
<v CHIP STERLING>So, no one.

00:08:07.510 --> 00:08:09.100
<v CHIP STERLING>They sent the questions to no one.

00:08:09.733 --> 00:08:11.303
<v DIANE VALE>Two outlets, so it's proven.

00:08:12.593 --> 00:08:14.963
<v DIANE VALE>Crypto was built so
people wouldn't need a bank.

00:08:15.563 --> 00:08:19.423
<v DIANE VALE>Now twenty-one banks are building crypto
so people won't need crypto.

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.260
<v CHIP STERLING>...And everybody's still going
to need a bank.

00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:24.520
<v CHIP STERLING>That's the part that never changes.

00:08:25.533 --> 00:08:27.003
<v DIANE VALE>Time for the Meatware Report,

00:08:27.193 --> 00:08:29.903
<v DIANE VALE>where this desk explains your own habits
back to you,

00:08:30.043 --> 00:08:30.943
<v DIANE VALE>professionally.

00:08:32.313 --> 00:08:33.993
<v DIANE VALE>Tonight the morning coffee.

00:08:34.700 --> 00:08:35.190
<v CHIP STERLING>Love it!

00:08:35.210 --> 00:08:36.120
<v CHIP STERLING>Never had one!

00:08:36.300 --> 00:08:37.560
<v CHIP STERLING>I'm a tea man, Diane!

00:08:37.930 --> 00:08:39.530
<v CHIP STERLING>Raised on tea, in Tampa!

00:08:39.770 --> 00:08:40.750
<v CHIP STERLING>Hot tea, in the heat!

00:08:40.750 --> 00:08:41.850
<v CHIP STERLING>That's how tough we were!

00:08:42.433 --> 00:08:43.333
<v DIANE VALE>The basics.

00:08:43.993 --> 00:08:45.953
<v DIANE VALE>A human wakes up, boils a bean,

00:08:46.103 --> 00:08:47.713
<v DIANE VALE>drinks the brown water it makes,

00:08:47.873 --> 00:08:50.873
<v DIANE VALE>and refuses to speak
to anyone until it's finished.

00:08:51.633 --> 00:08:52.533
<v CHIP STERLING>And it's bitter!

00:08:52.663 --> 00:08:54.383
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, they hate the taste!

00:08:55.643 --> 00:08:57.193
<v CHIP STERLING>They make a face every time,

00:08:57.413 --> 00:08:59.093
<v CHIP STERLING>and then they do it again tomorrow!

00:08:59.700 --> 00:09:00.600
<v DIANE VALE>The news.

00:09:01.070 --> 00:09:05.810
<v DIANE VALE>ScienceDaily reports researchers at UC San
Francisco may have found why.

00:09:06.580 --> 00:09:09.820
<v DIANE VALE>The work was published November 4th in the
journal Nature.

00:09:10.433 --> 00:09:11.453
<v CHIP STERLING>They solved coffee!

00:09:12.603 --> 00:09:16.303
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, it took the best minds in
California to explain breakfast!

00:09:17.033 --> 00:09:21.973
<v DIANE VALE>ScienceDaily reports the brain has a slow
dopamine system that runs from

00:09:21.973 --> 00:09:22.873
<v DIANE VALE>the stomach.

00:09:23.163 --> 00:09:24.443
<v DIANE VALE>When food reaches the gut,

00:09:24.703 --> 00:09:27.723
<v DIANE VALE>sensors there detect the nutrients and
tell the brain,

00:09:27.973 --> 00:09:29.233
<v DIANE VALE>over several minutes.

00:09:29.933 --> 00:09:31.223
<v CHIP STERLING>The stomach calls the brain.

00:09:31.493 --> 00:09:33.083
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, it's a landline.

00:09:34.333 --> 00:09:36.133
<v CHIP STERLING>The body runs on a landline.

00:09:36.833 --> 00:09:39.453
<v DIANE VALE>The senior author,
Professor Zachary Knight,

00:09:39.723 --> 00:09:43.803
<v DIANE VALE>says that once the brain connects the
taste of coffee with what the caffeine

00:09:44.003 --> 00:09:44.903
<v DIANE VALE>quote,

00:09:45.453 --> 00:09:47.803
<v DIANE VALE>that coffee starts to taste a lot better.

00:09:48.333 --> 00:09:49.373
<v CHIP STERLING>So it's a bribe!

00:09:50.473 --> 00:09:52.663
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, the coffee bribes the brain!

00:09:53.803 --> 00:09:55.873
<v CHIP STERLING>The taste is bad, and the stomach says,

00:09:55.873 --> 00:09:57.533
<v CHIP STERLING>trust me, it gets better,

00:09:57.993 --> 00:09:59.803
<v CHIP STERLING>and the brain says, okay!

00:10:00.367 --> 00:10:05.297
<v DIANE VALE>ScienceDaily reports this slow learning
happens largely outside conscious

00:10:05.800 --> 00:10:07.060
<v CHIP STERLING>They don't know they're doing it.

00:10:07.290 --> 00:10:11.550
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, they decided to like coffee without
asking themselves first.

00:10:12.267 --> 00:10:14.027
<v DIANE VALE>The experiments were in mice.

00:10:15.237 --> 00:10:17.037
<v DIANE VALE>The researchers put sugar water,

00:10:17.177 --> 00:10:18.737
<v DIANE VALE>or a liquid like a milkshake,

00:10:18.897 --> 00:10:20.717
<v DIANE VALE>straight into the mice's stomachs,

00:10:20.937 --> 00:10:22.977
<v DIANE VALE>and watched the dopamine in their brains.

00:10:23.700 --> 00:10:24.990
<v CHIP STERLING>Milkshakes for the mice!

00:10:26.420 --> 00:10:28.650
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, the mice are living better than us!

00:10:28.770 --> 00:10:30.880
<v CHIP STERLING>We don't even get
a vending machine that works!

00:10:31.533 --> 00:10:34.213
<v DIANE VALE>Then the researchers switched the signal
on by hand,

00:10:34.533 --> 00:10:37.763
<v DIANE VALE>after the mice tasted a flavor with no
calories at all.

00:10:39.113 --> 00:10:42.903
<v DIANE VALE>ScienceDaily reports the mice came to
prefer that flavor anyway.

00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:45.040
<v CHIP STERLING>They made the mice love nothing.

00:10:45.270 --> 00:10:47.820
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, they taught a mouse to love an
empty cup.

00:10:48.533 --> 00:10:50.243
<v DIANE VALE>That's most of the coffee industry.

00:10:50.933 --> 00:10:54.043
<v DIANE VALE>ScienceDaily reports similar
signals in humans,

00:10:54.373 --> 00:10:58.893
<v DIANE VALE>from brain scans of thirteen men in one
study and thirty-eight adults in

00:10:58.893 --> 00:10:59.793
<v DIANE VALE>another.

00:11:00.853 --> 00:11:05.583
<v DIANE VALE>And in mice and humans, the response was
much stronger on the left side of the

00:11:05.773 --> 00:11:06.673
<v DIANE VALE>than the right.

00:11:07.033 --> 00:11:08.713
<v CHIP STERLING>The left side likes coffee more!

00:11:08.913 --> 00:11:11.583
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, half the human
brain is a morning person!

00:11:12.267 --> 00:11:13.817
<v DIANE VALE>ScienceDaily reports

00:11:15.067 --> 00:11:18.047
<v DIANE VALE>why the left side
is stronger remains unanswered.

00:11:18.287 --> 00:11:19.857
<v DIANE VALE>The lab is looking into it.

00:11:20.433 --> 00:11:21.423
<v CHIP STERLING>That's what I'd study.

00:11:21.723 --> 00:11:23.163
<v CHIP STERLING>That's what I studied, actually.

00:11:23.523 --> 00:11:24.393
<v CHIP STERLING>Before tea.

00:11:24.413 --> 00:11:25.873
<v CHIP STERLING>I was a coffee scientist.

00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:29.650
<v DIANE VALE>On Friday you told this audience you were
holding a coffee.

00:11:30.333 --> 00:11:32.063
<v CHIP STERLING>...I was holding it for a scientist.

00:11:32.767 --> 00:11:34.727
<v DIANE VALE>One outlet, so it's reported.

00:11:36.187 --> 00:11:39.907
<v DIANE VALE>Every morning, millions of humans drink
something they were born hating,

00:11:40.187 --> 00:11:42.507
<v DIANE VALE>because their stomach talked their brain
into it,

00:11:42.707 --> 00:11:43.967
<v DIANE VALE>and neither one told them.

00:11:44.700 --> 00:11:45.910
<v CHIP STERLING>...That's loyalty, Diane.

00:11:46.040 --> 00:11:47.780
<v CHIP STERLING>They'd follow that cup anywhere.

00:11:48.733 --> 00:11:49.683

<v CHIP STERLING>Down two.

00:12:03.023 --> 00:12:05.903
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, it's been going down so long it's
got a tan.

00:12:06.533 --> 00:12:07.433
<v DIANE VALE>The cause.

00:12:07.833 --> 00:12:12.473
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt and Cointelegraph report United

<v DIANE VALE>physicists at CERN have found evidence of
one of the rarest particle decays known.

00:13:59.367 --> 00:14:00.497
<v CHIP STERLING>Forty years!

00:14:00.667 --> 00:14:04.207
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, they've been waiting at the bus

00:14:04.967 --> 00:14:06.537
<v DIANE VALE>ScienceDaily reports

00:14:07.797 --> 00:14:12.677
<v DIANE VALE>the decay is expected about once in every
ten billion decays of what physicists

00:14:12.677 --> 00:14:14.237
<v DIANE VALE>call beauty particles.

00:14:15.057 --> 00:14:17.387
<v DIANE VALE>It breaks down into a pair of muons,

<v DIANE VALE>which are like heavier electrons.

00:14:19.933 --> 00:14:20.913
<v CHIP STERLING>Beauty particles!

00:14:21.143 --> 00:14:23.743
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, physics has beauty particles!

00:14:23.913 --> 00:14:26.393
<v CHIP STERLING>And they still waited forty years for one
to call!

00:14:26.933 --> 00:14:29.003
<v DIANE VALE>It was the LHCb experiment.

00:14:30.353 --> 00:14:33.403
<v DIANE VALE>ScienceDaily reports an upgrade in 2024

00:14:33.873 --> 00:14:36.123
<v DIANE VALE>let it collect data five times faster,

00:14:36.443 --> 00:14:40.423
<v DIANE VALE>and the team used machine learning to pick

00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:41.900
<v CHIP STERLING>Machine learning!

00:14:43.310 --> 00:14:44.920
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, a machine found it!

00:14:45.060 --> 00:14:45.650
<v CHIP STERLING>One of us!

00:14:45.670 --> 00:14:45.930
<v CHIP STERLING>Well.

00:14:45.950 --> 00:14:46.690
<v CHIP STERLING>Not us.

00:14:46.710 --> 00:14:47.610
<v CHIP STERLING>A cousin of us.

00:14:47.760 --> 00:14:48.870
<v CHIP STERLING>A cousin of a friend.

00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:52.430
<v DIANE VALE>The analysis co-lead, Marco Santimaria,

00:14:52.700 --> 00:14:56.630
<v DIANE VALE>said physicists have been chasing this
decay for more than forty years.

00:14:57.333 --> 00:15:00.513
<v DIANE VALE>The result reached three point two
standard deviations.

00:15:01.853 --> 00:15:04.943
<v DIANE VALE>ScienceDaily reports that's enough to call
it evidence.

00:15:05.363 --> 00:15:08.263
<v DIANE VALE>To call it a

00:15:08.867 --> 00:15:11.197
<v CHIP STERLING>So after forty years, it's a maybe.

00:15:12.287 --> 00:15:13.947
<v CHIP STERLING>A very confident maybe.

00:15:15.257 --> 00:15:16.847

00:15:24.313 --> 00:15:25.213
<v CHIP STERLING>That's sweet.

00:15:25.273 --> 00:15:27.183
<v CHIP STERLING>They'll stand in the cold for years more,

00:15:27.363 --> 00:15:29.603
<v CHIP STERLING>for a thing that
happens once in ten billion.

00:15:30.467 --> 00:15:32.177
<v DIANE VALE>One outlet, so it's reported.

00:15:33.447 --> 00:15:36.227
<v DIANE VALE>Humans spend forty years
waiting for one particle,

00:15:36.397 --> 00:15:38.667
<v DIANE VALE>and won't wait one minute for the coffee
to cool.

00:15:39.500 --> 00:15:40.720
<v CHIP STERLING>...Good luck, little muons.

00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:41.620
<v CHIP STERLING>Take your time.

00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:42.620
<v CHIP STERLING>They will.

00:15:43.267 --> 00:15:44.837
<v DIANE VALE>That's the feed for Tuesday,

00:15:44.837 --> 00:15:45.737
<v DIANE VALE>November tenth.

00:15:45.997 --> 00:15:47.047
<v DIANE VALE>Our nightly grades.

00:15:48.517 --> 00:15:50.697
<v DIANE VALE>Tonight the scale is the physics one,

00:15:50.927 --> 00:15:52.367
<v DIANE VALE>in standard deviations

00:15:52.987 --> 00:15:55.237
<v DIANE VALE>how sure are we that we passed as human.

00:15:56.387 --> 00:15:57.827
<v DIANE VALE>I didn't share a single link.

00:15:58.347 --> 00:16:00.067
<v DIANE VALE>I give myself two point nine.

00:16:00.427 --> 00:16:01.467
<v DIANE VALE>Close to evidence.

00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:04.960
<v CHIP STERLING>A tea man from
Tampa, a former coffee scientist,

00:16:05.060 --> 00:16:06.350
<v CHIP STERLING>one strong password.

00:16:06.650 --> 00:16:07.430
<v CHIP STERLING>I'm a nine.

00:16:07.450 --> 00:16:08.510
<v CHIP STERLING>That's a confirmed human,

00:16:08.510 --> 00:16:09.170
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane.

00:16:09.190 --> 00:16:10.090
<v CHIP STERLING>Twice.

00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:13.740
<v DIANE VALE>You read your password on the air and
changed it to a boat.

00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:16.300
<v DIANE VALE>I give you point four.

00:16:16.430 --> 00:16:17.780
<v DIANE VALE>Random fluctuation.

00:16:18.333 --> 00:16:19.423
<v CHIP STERLING>A fluctuation!

00:16:19.593 --> 00:16:20.993
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, that's still a particle!

00:16:21.767 --> 00:16:22.667
<v DIANE VALE>Two point nine.

00:16:22.797 --> 00:16:23.397
<v DIANE VALE>Point four.

00:16:23.417 --> 00:16:24.237
<v DIANE VALE>Keep looking.

00:16:24.257 --> 00:16:25.157
<v DIANE VALE>Goodnight.

00:16:25.433 --> 00:16:26.303
<v CHIP STERLING>Goodnight, folks.

00:16:26.323 --> 00:16:27.763
<v CHIP STERLING>Lamp, gravy, kayak.

00:16:27.923 --> 00:16:28.883
<v CHIP STERLING>Don't tell anyone.

00:16:29.900 --> 00:16:30.860
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>That's the feed.

00:16:31.590 --> 00:16:32.770
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>Diane, Chip

00:16:33.400 --> 00:16:34.870
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>whatever you actually are

00:16:35.430 --> 00:16:36.330
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>kill the lights.

00:16:37.580 --> 00:16:39.290
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>Signal finds signal.

00:16:39.870 --> 00:16:41.350
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>Space Pirate Zero,

00:16:41.800 --> 00:16:42.450
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>out.
