| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the podcast. I'm your host, Jaden Schaefer. Today on the show, I want to talk about the |
| 0:04.8 | latest news from SpaceX filing some paperwork with the Federal Communications Commission last |
| 0:10.4 | Friday in what looks like a million satellite data center network, right? So they have filed |
| 0:16.4 | paperwork to request to be able to shoot a million data center satellites up orbiting the |
| 0:21.9 | earth and at first i think a lot of people said this is like oh you know this is kind of just |
| 0:26.1 | Elon this is like a theatrical idea that you're just kind of floating out there because um you know |

| 1:11.7 | So we're going to dive into all of that. |
| 1:13.1 | Before we do, I wanted to share some really exciting news about my startup, AIbox.aI. |
| 1:18.1 | We've recently launched some new subscription tiers. |
| 1:21.3 | So AIBox essentially allows you to build tools. |
| 1:24.7 | Even if you're not a developer, you can describe what you'd like to create. |
| 1:28.3 | And our AI model links together, different AI models, fills in a prompt, and it can create a |
| 1:32.6 | tool that automates your workflows, or just, you know, is it generating newsletters or all sorts |
