TechTime Radio - Episode 270 for the week of October 7th - 13th, 2025

Episode 270: 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 and whiskey!

A $500B AI valuation, in-game ads, and a driverless traffic stop all reveal the tension between dazzling tech headlines and the messy realities of infrastructure, policy, and trust. We dig into OpenAI’s valuation, the myth of psychic ads, and why AI consolidation could leave startups scrambling for compute.

From Snapchat’s paid Memories to ad-supported cloud gaming, we explore how monetization shifts are reshaping user expectations and loyalty. And with Waymo’s ticketless traffic stop and robo-ump debates, we argue that governance and precision must evolve before edge cases become everyday norms. Join us for these stories and more today on TechTime Radio, where we bring you the latest tech news with a little whiskey on the side.
