We open by tracking our video money and mocking the chef who quit Elon’s "epic" bacon diner, before diving into the&nbsp;IN THE NEWS&nbsp;segment where plummeting crypto and Nvidia stocks confirm everything is a sham; we cover Bezos’s new $6.2 billion AI flop, a sleeping Tesla Robotaxi driver, and why OpenAI’s new school tools are a&nbsp;Recipe for Idiocracy&nbsp;with students who can't read; in&nbsp;MEDIA CANDY, we tear apart Disney's lazy&nbsp;Moana&nbsp;remake;&nbsp;THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE&nbsp;we discuss&nbsp;Zork&nbsp;going open source and why movies just don’t feel real anymore before CLOSING SHOUT-OUTS&nbsp;where we are mourning&nbsp;Mani&nbsp;from the Stone Roses, and wishing&nbsp;Bjork&nbsp;a very metal 60th.We start with a&nbsp;FOLLOW UP&nbsp;on our channel’s performance, wading through the garbage pile of&nbsp;Monetization questions&nbsp;and&nbsp;Stats, including the scourge of&nbsp;Shorts—because apparently, that's what we do now. Speaking of people running from trouble, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers is ditching his&nbsp;OpenAI board&nbsp;seat after a fresh batch of cringey Jeffrey Epstein emails surfaced. Meanwhile, the financial world is having a meltdown:&nbsp;Nvidia’s Stock is Falling Again&nbsp;after its earnings report, exposing the fact that almost&nbsp;Yet Another Study Shows That Most Companies Aren’t Making Any Money Off AI, and&nbsp;Bitcoin is Getting Absolutely Crushed Right Now, which we happily remind you will&nbsp;Trigger the Next Financial Crisis. Don't worry,&nbsp;Jeff Bezos will head a new engineering-focused AI startup&nbsp;because the world clearly needs more tech billionaires throwing money at things they don't understand, while&nbsp;Apple is reportedly getting ready to replace Tim Cook.The tech-bro corruption parade continues as a former DOJ official points out that&nbsp;Trump’s Crypto Pardon&nbsp;of the Binance co-founder is exactly what it looks like, and Elon's pet AI,&nbsp;Grok Insists That Elon Musk Is More Physically Fit Than LeBron James&nbsp;and better at everything else, proving the bot has been sampling its boss's Adderall. Even though&nbsp;ChatGPT Achieves a New Level of Intelligence&nbsp;by&nbsp;finally&nbsp;letting you disable its em-dash addiction, companies like&nbsp;Intuit are integrating its tax and accounting products with ChatGPT—because who doesn't want an AI-powered tax audit? This all dovetails nicely with the news that OpenAI is launching&nbsp;ChatGPT for Teachers’&nbsp;right as students’ math skills hit a low, leading to a literal&nbsp;Recipe for Idiocracy&nbsp;where elite college students&nbsp;Can’t Read Books. The whole thing is broken, including Tesla’s so-called Robotaxi, where a&nbsp;Passenger Alarmed When Tesla Robotaxi “Safety” Driver Falls Completely Asleep at the Wheel. On a lighter note, we check out the new trailers for&nbsp;The Witcher S4,&nbsp;Frankenstein, and&nbsp;Project Hail Mary&nbsp;in&nbsp;MEDIA CANDY, and tear apart the absolutely unnecessary live-action&nbsp;Moana&nbsp;teaser, before mentioning the biggest drama launch on Apple TV,&nbsp;Pluribus.Next up is&nbsp;THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, where our tireless security guru&nbsp;Dave Bittner throws in some random facts, like Microsoft making&nbsp;Zork I, II, and III open source&nbsp;and videos on why the&nbsp;iOS Keyboard is Broken&nbsp;and&nbsp;Why Movies Just Don't Feel "Real”&nbsp;Anymore, and we discuss Thanksgiving plans.&nbsp;Finally, in&nbsp;CLOSING SHOUT-OUTS, we end with a shout-out to our generous&nbsp;PATREON&nbsp;supporters and&nbsp;PAYPAL/STRIPE&nbsp;donors, mourn the passing of&nbsp;Stone Roses and Primal Scream bassist Mani, and wish the incomparable&nbsp;Bjork&nbsp;a milestone 60th birthday.Watch on YouTube: <a href="https://youtu.be/tWM83ra7Qp8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/tWM83ra7Qp8</a>Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to <a href="https://gog.show/vpn" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">GOG.Show/vpn</a> and sign up today.
