S4E12 - In the season finale of 12PointFive Minutes, hosts Liz Whitehead and Jared L. Kelly hit the record button on their most daring near-future predictions. Moving past the usual tech hype, they dive into the human cost of AI—asking what replaces the "dignity of work" when entry-level and middle-management jobs evaporate, and why the erosion of our educational system through AI educators might happen before the workforce even collapses.

The conversation takes a sharp turn into corporate survival tactics for autonomous vehicles, Jared's beef with Waymo, and why Chicagoans might just be the first to flip a driverless car. On a brighter note, they map out the future of women's sports, predicting how a new business blueprint could turn women's volleyball into the next breakout, high-value global phenomenon. Finally, Liz drops an ominous parting warning about the upcoming FIFA World Cup. Will they be proven right? Tune in to find out, and see you next season!
