TechTime with Nathan Mumm ·

2026/05/06

Episode 297: The next wave of cybersecurity hiring is sending a clear message: without AI fluency, you may not be employable. U.S. cyber pipelines are adding AI skill requirements because modern defense now includes securing AI systems themselves. From semi‑autonomous agents to fast‑moving model‑driven threats, the job is shifting fast. If you’re aiming for a government or enterprise cyber role, this breakdown clarifies what real “AI fluency” means and why it’s becoming a baseline skill. The...

2026/04/28

Big tech is making a blunt trade: fewer people, more AI. We dig into Meta’s plan to cut more than 10% of its workforce while pouring an eye-watering budget into AI, then zoom out to the uncomfortable pattern across the industry where payroll turns into infrastructure spend. Along the way we hit a surprisingly human twist: one of the biggest uses of AI isn’t coding or design, it’s companionship and therapy, which says a lot about where our culture is headed. From there, we step into the billi...

2026/04/21

AI is getting so good at faking reality that the internet is starting to demand proof you are a human, and that is where this week gets unsettling. We talk about Anthropic’s “Mythos” cybersecurity AI and why federal agencies reportedly went from pushing it away to urgently trying to get access again. When a model can map vulnerabilities, hunt zero-day weaknesses, and chain exploits across real networks, the conversation shifts from “cool AI” to “who controls the keys to the digital world.” T...

Episode 294: This week on TechTime Radio, we dive into rising AI safety warnings as OpenAI and Anthropic split on governance, explore why blue‑light panic became a myth, and break down Meta’s expanding fight over youth harm and accountability. We also cover new cybersecurity breaches, including Eurorail’s exposed traveler data. Then we spotlight a retro‑camera gadget that turns classic film bodies into digital shooters, share Gen Z’s clever streaming‑service rotation trick, and wrap with a t...

2026/04/07

Episode 293: This week on TechTime Radio, we begin by confronting the unsettling reality that trusting your senses isn't enough anymore, as deepfakes and AI-generated voices make distinguishing real from fake increasingly difficult. Even families and public figures encounter moments when authenticity is in doubt, fostering the 'liar’s dividend' in which dismissing everything as fake becomes common. The discussion considers why traditional code words are now a safeguard for families, executive...

TechTime with Nathan Mumm ·

2026/03/31

AI is quietly taking the wheel of the internet, and the ride is getting weird. We’re seeing data centers merge with cloud platforms, edge computing, and telecom networks into one distributed machine that can predict failures, reroute traffic, and optimize energy in real time. That sounds amazing until you realize how much of today’s traffic is no longer humans, but machines talking to machines, and every company’s AI is fighting for the “best” path across the same shared pipes. Then we jump ...

TechTime with Nathan Mumm ·

2026/03/24

Your digital life is being priced, packaged, and sold, and sometimes the buyer is the government. We dig into the headline that reignites America’s privacy debate: the FBI confirming it purchases commercially available data that can be used to track Americans online. We talk about why this feels like a warrant shortcut, how the data broker economy thrives on “legal” loopholes, and why AI-powered analysis makes mass surveillance more scalable than ever. Then we shift from invisible tracking t...

2026/03/17

A wearable that logs your digestion by tracking hydrogen “events,” Hollywood betting big on one-minute vertical soap operas, and Wi‑Fi 7 routers that may not do what the box implies, this hour is packed with the kind of technology news that makes you stop and go, “wait, is that real?” We take each headline and separate the joke from the actual value, because the story behind the gimmick is usually where the truth lives. We also shift into practical mode with a stack of real scam and ph...

Episode 289: TechTime Radio: This week, we open with Microsoft’s Project Helix, the ambitious “one box to rule them all” promising native PC gaming, Wi‑Fi 7 speeds, and a next‑gen low‑latency controller. With a rumored $1,000 price and a 2027 release window, we dig into whether true backward compatibility across Xbox generations finally makes a premium console worth the splurge. Or should we pass on the New X-box for the rumored Steam Machines? What new gaming machine will be the SNES, and wh...

287: TechTime Radio: A landmark social‑media addiction trial, brain‑steered pigeons, and a global memory crunch collide in an hour that questions who really controls attention, autonomy, and access. We break down Zuckerberg’s courtroom spotlight, the stakes of age‑verification and identity collection, and the eerie rise of biodrone pigeons that blur the line between experimentation and coercive tech. The conversation widens to AI‑driven DRAM shortages slowing devices, inflating prices, and re...

2026/02/18

Think you’re safe because you never downloaded TikTok? We unpack why that’s a myth, how a tiny pixel follows you across unrelated sites, and what to do right now to shut it down. From there we dig into a subtler dilemma hiding in your camera roll: computational photography that quietly invents detail, polishes your face, and reshapes memories. It looks great—until it doesn’t. We trade quick tips for getting more honest photos, including RAW capture, disabled scene “optimizations,” and when to...

Episode 285: Join us this week on TechTime Radio with Nathan Mumm: The Show That Makes You Go "HMMM." Welcome to our show as we guide you through all things tech with a lil' whiskey on the side. This week on TechTime Radio, we cut through a week where algorithms, automation, and accountability all collided. We opened with TikTok’s regulatory shakeup, where EU pressure and U.S. oversight triggered an algorithm reset that left creators scrambling. The conversation centered on what responsible ...

2026/02/07

The headlines say TikTok just got “safer” under U.S. oversight—but we’re not convinced that swapping one set of power brokers for another changes the core data bargain. We unpack who really gains from TikTok’s algorithm shift, how investor incentives shape your feed, and whether creators and users can expect more transparency or just a new layer of control. From there, we dig into a surprising frontier in medical education: AI patients that look and sound real enough to train bedside communic...

2026/01/21

What if the most exciting tech of the year wasn’t just shiny—it was useful, personal, and a little unsettling? We dive into our Top 10 from CES 2026 and share what genuinely moved the needle for everyday life, what felt like future shock, and where we think the line should be drawn. We start with wonder and method: viral claims about “hidden cities” beneath Antarctica meet the real tools behind the map—satellite interferometry, glacier-flow physics, and AI reconstruction. That lens helps us ...

2026/01/14

Imagine getting your lab results, feeding them into an AI, and realizing it caught a mistake your clinic didn’t. That’s where we start: the real promise of ChatGPT Health against the very real risks of privacy drift and model error. We unpack what “enhanced protections” actually need to look like, why accuracy and safety can’t play second fiddle to consent screens, and how patients can use AI without replacing their doctor. A candid story about a dropdown gone wrong makes the stakes feel pers...

2026/01/07

A smart home vacuum goes bankrupt and suddenly the maps of your living room might be someone else’s asset—that’s where we start, and the questions only get sharper from there. We dig into iRobot’s Chapter 11, the failed Amazon deal, and why a China-linked manufacturer gaining access to device data should force a hard reset on how we think about ownership, privacy, and consent in consumer hardware. From there, we test the limits of AI in the wild. Anthropic’s “Project Vend” handed a real vend...

What happens when convenience becomes the cost? We close the year by unpacking the eight tech stories that reshaped daily life, wallets, and trust. From streaming’s pivot back to bundles that feel like cable, to smart speakers and connected appliances that quietly ship household data to the cloud, we trace how “modern” increasingly means managed—and often monitored. We dig into the robotics hype cycle and ask why humanoids still struggle with balance and dexterity while specialized bots make...

2025/12/16

What happens when technology grows faster than the rules meant to guide it? We toast the season finale by tackling that question head-on—starting with a bold move to centralize AI regulation at the federal level and preempt state-by-state rules. We lay out what a single national framework could fix, what it could break, and how lobbying from the biggest AI players complicates the path forward. Uniform standards might speed innovation and reduce compliance chaos, but local expertise matters, a...

This week on TechTime Radio, a state-backed cyber scheme hiding in plain sight. That’s where we start: identity rental, deepfaked interviews, and remote tooling that let North Korean operators slip into real jobs at real companies. We unpack how recruiters lure engineers, what data they demand, and the quiet ways compromised devices become corporate backdoors. Then we get practical—clear verification steps for HR, device attestation, network controls, and a tighter handshake between hiring an...
