In a legal battle that could rival the most intense AI chess match, Elon Musk is suing OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, alleging a betrayal of the nonprofit’s founding mission. Musk claims they’ve veered off course, prioritizing profits over humanity. Will this clash of titans redefine the future of artificial intelligence? Stay tuned.

Remember the days when Twitter was just 140 characters and X marked the spot for innovation? Well, former Twitter/X executives are back with a vengeance, suing none other than Elon Musk himself. They’re demanding a whopping $128 million in unpaid severance. Is this a case of digital justice or just another tweetstorm?

Move over, lawnmower mods! The latest gaming sensation is GTA: Vice City running on a humble TP-Link Wi-Fi router. Yes, you heard that right. Forget about loading screens; now it’s all about buffering bars. We’ll dive into the tech wizardry behind this mind-bending feat.

Get ready to unlock the vault of tech's future with us, Nathan Mumm, Mike Gorday, and Odi return with new guests, security wizard Nick Espinosa, and vinous virtuoso technologist Marc Gregoire. This episode isn't just about passive listening; it's an interactive experience where you become an integral part of the TechTime Radio community. We're serving up a blend of hindsight and foresight, assessing our 2023 predictions and stirring the pot with fresh 2024 prophecies while dissecting the latest tech news.

Wrap your head around the titans of tech and their next moves. Will Musk venture into AI, or will Microsoft swoop in on a social media giant?  Plus, we can't help but speculate on Marvel's cinematic destiny and whether blockchain and NFTs will rebound in the art and collectible world.

Please pull up a chair at our cybersecurity roundtable, where we unpack the year's most notorious digital assaults. As hospitals wage legal wars with cloud storage providers like Wasabi, we explore the tangled web of ownership, responsibility, and the precarious fortress of data protection. We'll navigate you through the digital quagmire, where the FBI intervenes, and then, we pivot, discussing self-kidnapping via tech and the surreal realm where Disney characters go rogue in horror adaptations.

Remember to connect with us at techtimeradio.com, and cheers to being ahead of the tech curve with us. Remember, "mums the word" on what's next!
