Book Club: Quantum Medicine And When Will Quantum Computers Cure Cancer?
Could a quantum computer cure cancer? We’re reading Michio Kaku's Quantum Supremacy and asking how quantum computing, CRISPR, and gene editing are set to revolutionize medicine. Can quantum computing help cure cancer, eradicate genetic diseases, and prevent future pandemics?
Uncover the mind-bending connection between quantum processing and human biology, where computers could spot cancer cells before they spread and customize treatments in real-time. Learn why IBM's Heron chip and quantum algorithms might be the key to eliminating genetic diseases like sickle cell anemia and cystic fibrosis – and how this same technology could prevent the next global pandemic.

Short Thoughts #1 - Theses Are The 5 Layers Of Self-Driving Automation (For When AI Drives You To Work)
Disruptors and curious minds. There are 5 layers of automation in the automotive (that's cars to you and me) industry... And you can't buy a level5 car. Even in San Francisco. We tell you why.
This week's guest is Barry Lunn, CEO and Founder of Provizio. Listen To The Full Episode HERE
He outlines the five layers.
Level 0: The driver is in control at all times. Features are limited to providing warnings.
Layer 1: Assistance. Features are limited to steering, brake/acceleration support to the driver.
Layer 2: Partial Automation. Features provide supervised steering and brake/acceleration support to the driver. L2+ extends operational comfort and safety.
Layer 3: Conditional Automation - The driver is not always in control or monitoring. Features include low speed fully automated driving. Level 3+ means extended operational conditions.
Layer 4: High Automation - The vehicle can drive completely autonomously in certain GEO-fenced areas.
Layer 5: Full Automation - The vehicle can drive completely autonomously in any scenario. All occupants are passengers.
Why are most car companies are still at Level 2? What are the challenges of reaching higher levels of autonomy?

-Web3 Ineptitude and the Demise of Friend.Tech:
The collapse of Friend.Tech has sent shockwaves through the Web3 community, showcasing the growing pains of decentralized platforms. Once touted as the next big thing in social tokenization, the platform's rapid rise and fall have exposed the challenges in user adoption, security, and scalability. We'll discuss how Friend.Tech's demise reflects the broader problems facing Web3 and why many of these platforms struggle to live up to their hype.
-Apple’s Rush to Release Another AI-Driven iPhone:
Apple’s latest release, the iPhone 16, promises built-in AI capabilities, but early reviews suggest the tech giant may have rushed this one out the door. While Apple is known for innovation, this AI integration feels more like a marketing ploy than a breakthrough in technology. We'll break down why the new AI features fail to impress and whether Apple is losing its edge in the race for artificial intelligence supremacy.
-Nvidia-Backed Startup Lumen Orbit Building Data Centers in Space:
In a groundbreaking move, a Nvidia-funded startup, Lumen Orbit, is working to build data centers in space. This ambitious project aims to solve the growing demand for data storage and processing by utilizing the vast expanse of space. We’ll explore how this innovative approach could revolutionize cloud computing, reduce energy consumption, and position Lumen Orbit at the forefront of space tech and data storage development.
