| 0:05.2 | including Pillay Glendale, Dr. X17, Dustin Campbell, and our new boss, Dario. Dario just started |
| 0:13.0 | back in us on Patreon. Thank you and welcome, Dario. Coming up on DTNS, AI regulation standards are |
| 0:21.3 | coming, but can we all agree on what is best? Can electronic brain implants help reverse |
