If I told you Apple had enough money to buy a bank, healthcare company, car company and get into autonomous vehicles all with money left over, would you believe me? Well, it does: with more than $200 billion lying around, what is Apple saving for? We discuss that, the implications of the company getting into self-driving cars, and how Uber's self-driving car could die. On top of that, a huge discussion about the NSA's capabilities, and what a recent hacking tool dump means for you. Show notes at chargedpodcast.com
Elon Musk has a new company that hopes to wire your brain up to a computer to give you a fighting chance against AI — is that a good idea?
