We’ve always been told that work defines who we are. But what happens when technology — from AI viruses to polymers that leap 25x their length — begins to rewrite the very meaning of labor, capital, and identity?

In this episode, I explore the breakthroughs and blind spots shaping our future:

• Engineers building “impossible” materials

• Why AI sometimes forgets what it was trained on

• The strange role viruses play in artificial intelligence

• Universal Basic Income and the end of traditional jobs

• How capital quietly shapes society’s direction

If jobs stop defining us, what comes next?
