Welcome to IoT Coffee Talk #209 where we have a chat about all things IoT over a cup of coffee or two with some of the industry's leading business minds, thought leaders and technologists in a totally unscripted, organic format. Thanks for joining us. Sit back with a cup of Joe and enjoy the morning banter.

This week, Rob, Dimitri, David, Bill, Pete, Leonard, and Marc jump on Web3 to talk about:

* BAD KARAOKE: "Best of Both Worlds", Van Halen
* The essentiality of ultra-reliable connectivity for the nuclear football
* We watched too much "Fallout" and YouTube served up "The Day After"
* Surviving a nuclear winter with or without IoT
* How AI revealed how we underestimated the devastation of mutually destructive nuclear exchanges of nations
* Why IoT is essential in avoiding nuclear war
* Why are we talking about nuclear war?
* Is generative AI our savior? Can it save us from our collective self?
* What is your moral conviction...AI?
* The future of AGI is Samantha
* Why Zorg and Thanos were not wrong
* The consequences of falling in love with your AI assistant
