In this episode of Talk That Tech, Trey Scott breaks down why the massive 2026 winter storm is not just a weather event but a technology stress test. From AI powered forecasting and power grid management to airlines, data centers, and emergency communications, the hosts explain how digital infrastructure is shaping who stays safe, who loses power, and which companies come out stronger.

The conversation explores how AI models, satellites, and real time data are now essential to public safety, why data centers are both a strain on the grid and a lifeline during outages, and how extreme weather is becoming a proving ground for AI era infrastructure.

The episode also dives into how AI video tools are quietly rewriting filmmaking, allowing solo creators to produce cinematic work that once required full studios. From new camera simulation workflows to the rapid leaps in AI video quality, the show explains why storytelling power is shifting from budgets to vision.

This episode connects climate stress, AI infrastructure, creative tools, and the future of work into one clear message. Technology is no longer experimental. It is operational and the stakes are rising fast.
