Much like your knees, we are all going to miss our memory when it is gone. So what if it never left? Well, advances in processing power, storage, and battery technology virtually ensure that this will be possible very soon. This concept has been postulated by many, and several companies are currently working on products to enable this. Feed this memory into your personal artificial intelligence and you have something extremely interesting, powerful, and concerning.

In this episode, the guys share their thoughts on if they’d even want an everlasting memory. Fortunately, there are about 60 people on the planet who have had this ability naturally for decades, so we might have something to learn from them.

But before that: Alphabet invests another cool $5 billion in Waymo; Amazon’s got a paid Alexa coming; and CrowdStrike blames test software for crashing the Internet along with 8.5 million computers.
