### Episode Summary Federal investigators probe why Waymo robotaxis kept illegally passing stopped school buses after a software recall, while a newly unsealed NASA contractor lawsuit between Axiom Space and Vast Space tests the boundaries of original work. Together with a shift toward human-curated media over black-box algorithms, today's stories challenge believers to reject quick fixes and embody verified faithfulness. --- ### Chapters 00:00 — Cold Open & Morning Welcome 00:46 — Waymo's School Bus Recall Under Federal Probe 03:02 — Axiom vs. Vast: Space Station Blueprint Lawsuit 05:06 — Algorithm Fatigue & Human Curation at Tubi and Valve 06:58 — Kitchen Table Question & Guided Prayer --- ### The Kitchen Table Question > **Tonight’s Discussion:** > *"In a culture full of automated shortcuts and quick promises, where is God calling you this week to choose slow, thorough faithfulness—even when no one else is checking your work?"* * **1. Rejecting Surface Patches**: Think of a responsibility at home or work where it is tempting to offer a quick reassurance instead of fixing the root issue. How can you stay with the problem until it is truly resolved? * **2. Honest Craftsmanship in a Copy-Paste World**: With AI tools and templates everywhere, how do you guard your integrity—and teach your children—to value original effort and honest weights over easy shortcuts? * **3. Heartfelt Counsel Over Algorithms**: How can your household rely more on trusted friends and family wisdom for what you watch, read, and play rather than passive algorithmic feeds? --- ### News & Worldview Highlights * **Federal Regulators Probe Waymo Over School Bus Violations After Software Recall:** The NHTSA and NTSB are investigating why Waymo autonomous vehicles continued to illegally pass stopped school buses with flashing red lights even after a November software patch, a December recall, and custom training with Austin's school district. * **Axiom Space Sues Rival Vast Space Over Allegedly Copied NASA Blueprints:** Ahead of NASA's December 14 deadline for commercial space station proposals, an unsealed federal False Claims Act lawsuit reveals Axiom Space accusing rival Vast Space of submitting Axiom's proprietary operational blueprint to NASA. * **Tubi and Valve Turn to Human Curation as Viewers Abandon Algorithms:** With a Gracenote survey showing nearly 49% of viewers ready to cancel streaming services over search frustration, Tubi launched user-curated 'Mixtapes' and Valve rolled out real-player frame rate telemetry for the Steam Deck. --- ### Scripture References * **Jeremiah 6:14** — *"They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. 'Peace, peace,' they say, when there is no peace."* True accountability rejects surface patches and premature reassurances when neighbor safety is on the line. * **Leviticus 19:35** — *"Do not use dishonest standards when measuring length, weight or quantity."* God weighs the integrity of how you do your work, not merely whether you meet a deadline. * **Proverbs 27:9** — *"Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice."* Heartfelt human counsel carries a relational trustworthiness that no machine can manufacture. * **Proverbs 20:6** — *"Many claim to have unfailing love, but a faithful person who can find?"* In an age of automated claims and quick marketing, steady human faithfulness is priceless. --- ### Sign-Off Thank you so much for joining us on Diamond Tree News: Tech and Faith.
