Welcome to the Tech Brew Ride Home for Wednesday, December 24th, 2025. I'm Brian McCullough today.

Well, it turns out my Spitey Sense was right because there definitely seems to be a new tech trade war brewing between the U.S. and Europe.

Seems like ads are definitely going to come to chat GPT, how Bitcoin miners are pivoting to AI and why

Netflix wants to get into day parting. Here's what you miss today in the world of tech.

You may have noticed that your CRM system has become crazy with bots and agents at the TechBrew Ride Home.

We love AI, but not when it's used to commit fraud or launch ransomware.

Fortunately, Momoto, the creator of continuous verification, now offers the next generation of Continuous Captcha.

Momoto Continuous Captcha diverts only the agents and bots attempting to gain access to your CRM through registration forms.

With Momoto, good agents can do what agents do best, enable your customers to have more productive experiences on your website or app, while stopping bad agents from defrauding you or your customers.

It's a win for everyone except the cybercriminals.

Right now,

our listeners can purchase a year of Momoto Continuous Captcha for $5,000, a 20% discount on their lowest price plan. To learn more, head to mimoto.com.A.I. slash ride home. That's mimoto.

Dot AI slash ride home.

will no longer tolerate these egregious acts of extraterritorial censorship, end quote.
