In this episode of Dylan Curious, we dive into the accelerating world of AI and future tech that is changing our reality faster than expected. Has the countdown to AGI just hit 97%? We explore a new general-purpose robot model learning physics on the fly, an AI system that can read your silent throat movements to synthesize your voice, and how Google's quantum computing breakthrough could pose a massive threat to Bitcoin's encryption.

We also taste-test the bizarre future of $100,000 lab-grown salmon, break down the controversial worldview of Palantir's CEO, explore mind-bending new theories on dark matter, and discuss a groundbreaking nasal spray that could reverse brain aging. The future is weird, and it's already here.
