Winter is coming and so we're dragging you down into the murky depths of doom with a look at Ancient Dreams, the third slab of heaviness from Candlemass. It's 1988, the riffs are thick, the atmosphere is bleak, and Messiah Marcolin's voice still sounds like it's echoing from a cathedral built in hell. I tear into the album track by track—warts, wonders, and all—and ask the big question: does it crush like Nightfall, or does it stumble under its own weight? Tune in and find out. Doom awaits.As mentioned Ep 56 - Doom, Doom we are all Doomed!!!!!! is a starting point to the nuts n bolts of Doom Metal..... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hi friends, we're busy with some spring cleaning this week. We'll have a new episode for you in two weeks. In the meanwhile, enjoy this pick from our archives! _____ [originally aired Nov 30, 2022] When we talk about AI, we usually fixate on the future. What's coming next? Where is the technology going? How will artificial intelligences reshape our lives and worlds? But it's also worth looking to the past. When did the prospect of manufactured minds first enter the human imagination? When did we start building robots, and what did those early robots do? What are the deeper origins, in other words, not only of artificial intelligences themselves, but of our ideas about those intelligences?  For this episode, we have two guests who've spent a lot of time delving into the deeper history of AI. One is Adrienne Mayor; Adrienne is a Research Scholar in the Department of Classics at Stanford University and the author of the 2018 book, Gods and Robots: Myths, Machines, and Ancient Dreams of Technology. Our second guest is Elly Truitt; Elly is Associate Professor in the History & Sociology of Science at the University of Pennsylvania and the author of the 2015 book, Medieval Robots: Mechanism, Magic, Nature, and Art.  In this conversation, we draw on Adrienne's expertise in the classical era and Elly's expertise in the medieval period to dig into the surprisingly long and rich history of AI. We discuss some of the very first imaginings of artificial beings in Greek mythology, including Talos, the giant robot guarding the island of Crete. We talk about some of the very first historical examples of automata, or self-moving devices; these included statues that spoke, mechanical birds that flew, thrones that rose, and clocks that showed the movements of the heavens. We also discuss the long-standing and tangled relationships between AI and power, exoticism, slavery, prediction, and justice. And, finally, we consider some of the most prominent ideas we have about AI today and whether they had precedents in earlier times. This is an episode we've been hoping to do for some time now, to try to step back and put AI in a much broader context. It turns out the debates we're having now, the anxieties and narratives that swirl around AI today, are not so new. In some cases, they're millennia old.  Alright friends, now to my conversation with Elly Truitt and Adrienne Mayor. Enjoy!   A transcript of this episode is available here.   Notes and links 4:00 – See Adrienne's TedEd lesson about Talos, the “first robot.” See also Adrienne's 2019 talk for the Long Now Foundation. 7:15 – The Throne of Solomon does not survive, but it was often rendered in art, for example in this painting by Edward Poynter. 12:00 – For more on Adrienne's broader research program, see her website; for more on Elly's research program, see her website. 18:00 – For more on the etymology of ‘robot,' see here. 23:00 – A recent piece about Aristotle's writings on slavery. 26:00 – An article about the fact that Greek and Roman statues were much more colorful than we think of them today. 30:00 – A recent research article about the Antikythera mechanism. 34:00 – See Adrienne's popular article about the robots that guarded the relics of the Buddha. 38:45 – See Elly's article about how automata figured prominently in tombs. 47:00 – See Elly's recent video lecture about mechanical clocks and the “invention of time.” For more on the rise of mechanistic thinking—and clocks as important metaphors in that rise—see Jessica Riskin's book, The Restless Clock. 50:00 – An article about a “torture robot” of ancient Sparta. 58:00 – A painting of the “Iron Knight” in Spenser's The Faerie Queene.   Adrienne Mayor recommends: The Greeks and the New, by Armand D'Angour Classical Traditions in Science Fiction, edited by Brett Rogers and Benjamin Stevens In Our Own Image, by George Zarkadakis Ancient Inventions, by Peter James and Nick Thorpe   Elly Truitt recommends: AI Narratives, edited by Stephen Cave, Kanta Dihal, and Sarah Dillon The Love Makers, by Aifric Campbell The Mitchells vs the Machines   You can read more about Adrienne's work on her website and follow her on Twitter.

The Sound Chaser Progressive Rock Podcast is on the air. Sound Chaser takes a trip to Middle-Earth. On the show this time I have music inspired by the literary works of J.R.R. Tolkien. No matter what one thinks about the Rings of Power series, one cannot deny that it has sparked renewed interest in all things Tolkien. So, I have collected music that is either inspired by Tolkien's Middle-Earth literature, or comes from acts whose names are inspired by Tolkien's Middle-Earth.

For thousands of years humans have in war and peace attempted to poison one another—or, perhaps for variety,  burn each other to death. We might think of poison gas, biological weapons, or the use of unwitting victims to spread epidemics as being modern innovations, but such horrors have been employed since the earliest recorded history.  Moreover, for nearly that entire time humans have debated the morality of employing those weapons.  My guest Adrienne Mayor describes this history in Greek Fire, Poison Arrows, and Scorpion Bombs: Unconventional Warfare in the Ancient World, now being issued in a revised and updated edition by Princeton University Press, along with her collection of essays entitled Flying Snakes and Griffin Claws. As she does in all of her books, in both of these she travels through that complicated landscape where the borders of history, science, archaeology, anthropology, and popular knowledge all adjoin each other, and seeks there the realities and insights embedded in myth, legend, and folklore.  Adrienne Mayor's other books include The Poison King: The Life and Legend of Mithradates, Rome's Deadliest Enemy, a finalist for the National Book Award. She was previously on the podcast in Episode 107 discussing her book Gods and Robots: Myths, Machines, and Ancient Dreams of Technology.

Arrancamos el Podcast bajándola mal porque recordamos la separación de Las Bistecs y la idea al cielo de Raffaella Carrà. Hablamos de esas personas que nos comparten música y nos hacen descubrir artistas nuevos. Hablamos de la Billie Eilish y su último álbum. Ariana no se queda afuera. Marina presenta "Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land" y comentamos cómo no pudimos volver a conectar con ELLA después de FROOT. ¿Qué opinamos de TINI y de la idea de que saque un álbum con muchos temas y encima viejos? Ángela Torres está presente en este episodio con su Ep "LNDF". Por qué los artistas argentinos cantan en español NEUTROOOO, queremos escuchar la cosa más argentina, la cosa sana. También hablamos de ELLOS, WOS entra en la escena. ¡No se olviden de buscar a los artistas que recomendamos o de los que hablamos! Recomendación: Marilina Bertoldi o Chica Sobresalto.

What counts as a robot? This hour, we look at what robots are and learn about the latest in robot technology. We'll also go back in time to discover how robots were used and thought about in medieval times and ancient Greece. Plus, we'll talk about the role of robots in science fiction, and how the genre has shaped our attitudes towards robotics.

Kelly Sue DeConnick is a trailblazing comic book writer. She is credited with creating the new and improved version of the Captain Marvel heroine Carol Danvers that influenced the story foundation for the 2019 Captain Marvel movie. In response to criticism about her feminism, she created the series Bitch Planet, which has inspired a whole generation of female comic book readers. She moved from Marvel to DC comics where she reimagined the Aquaman series and, most recently, she completed DC's Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons. Adrienne Mayor, is a pre-eminent folklorist and research scholar in the history of science and classics at Stanford University. She has written more than a half-dozen award winning books, including the seminal works The Amazons: Lives and Legends of Warrior Women Across the Ancient World and Gods and Robots: Myths, Machines, and Ancient Dreams of Technology. Her latest title, Flying Snakes and Griffin Claws, and Other Classical Myths, Historical Oddities, and Scientific Curiosities, was released in early 2022. Though a generation apart, these two accomplished women begin their discussion with a mutual-admiration love-fest, and then dive into a spirited dialogue that includes super heroes, the myth of a female utopia, grieving like the Greeks and the consequences of having sex at Aphrodite's shrine.

This week, we're diving headfirst into Foxes' brand new record 'The Kick' tackling album lore, best tracks, and the song that was almost the title of the project...

Part of the Colloquium on AI Ethics series presented by the Institute of Ethics in AI. This event is also part of the Humanities Cultural Programme, one of the founding stones for the future Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. What, if anything, can the ancient Greeks teach us​ about robots and AI? Perhaps the answer is nothing, or nothing so straightforward as a correct 'solution' to the problems thrown up by robots and AI, but instead a way of thinking about them. Join us for a fascinating presentation from Adrienne Mayor, Stanford University, who will discuss her latest book, Gods and Robots: Myths, Machines, and Ancient Dreams of Technology. This book investigates how the Greeks imagined automatons, replicants, and Artificial Intelligence in myths and later designed self-moving devices and robots. Adrienne Mayor, research scholar in the Classics Department and the History and Philosophy of Science program at Stanford University since 2006, is a folklorist and historian of ancient science who investigates natural knowledge contained in pre-scientific myths and oral traditions. Her research looks at ancient "folk science" precursors, alternatives, and parallels to modern scientific methods. She was a Berggruen Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, Stanford, 2018-2019. Mayor's latest book, Gods and Robots: Myths, Machines, and Ancient Dreams of Technology, investigates how the Greeks imagined automatons, replicants, and Artificial Intelligence in myths and later designed actual self-moving devices and robots. Mayor's 2014 book, The Amazons: Lives and Legends of Warrior Women across the Ancient World, analyzes the historical and archaeological evidence underlying myths and tales of warlike women (Sarasvati Prize for Women in Mythology). Her biography of King Mithradates VI of Pontus, The Poison King, won the Gold Medal for Biography, Independent Publishers' Book Award 2010, and was a 2009 National Book Award Finalist.

(Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Candlemass es una reconocida banda de doom metal proveniente de Estocolmo, Suecia, fundada en 1984 por el bajista y principal compositor Leif Edling. Es considerada la banda progenitora del estilo epic doom, por implementar voces limpias y operáticas entre tenores y barítonos, gracias a los principales cantantes que han sido parte de la agrupación, como Johan Längqvist, Robert Lowe y especialmente Messiah Marcolin. Tras varios cambios en su formación, finalmente se unieron a la banda los guitarristas Lars "Lasse" Johansson, Mats "Mappe" Björkman y el baterista Jan Lindh, quienes junto a Leif Edling y el vocalista Messiah Marcolin completaron la formación clásica de Candlemass, la cual grabó los álbumes Nightfall (1987), Ancient Dreams (1988), Tales of Creation (1989) y Candlemass (2005). Candlemass es, además, el séptimo mejor artista en ventas proveniente de Suecia, vendiendo hasta 2010 más de 15 millones de álbumes alrededor del mundo. Originalmente la agrupación solía llamarse Nemesis cuando en 1982 Leif Edling, quien por entonces también se desempeñaba como cantante, reclutó a los guitarristas Anders Wallin y Christian Weberyd junto al baterista Mats Ekström. Fue en 1984 después de haber publicado un demo y un EP, que Leif Edling decide cambiar el nombre de la banda por Candlemass, en el proceso Anders Wallin abandona la banda y al año siguiente Christian Weberyd también se retira, es entonces cuando Leif y Mats Ekström deciden reclutar en 1985 al guitarrista Mats "Mappe" Björkman para comenzar a trabajar en su álbum debut Epicus Doomicus Metallicus. El primer álbum de Candlemass, publicado en 1986 es considerado ampliamente como un hito en la escena del doom metal, cuyo título no solo bautiza al nuevo estilo creado por ellos, sino también al doom metal en general, pues si bien ya se había estado gestando desde 1970 gracias a Black Sabbath, no fue sino hasta más de una década después que recibió un nombre propio. Fue el padre de Mats Ekström quien diseñó la característica portada del disco y que ha servido como el logo de la banda desde entonces. La formación del grupo en dicho disco consistía en Leif Edling en el bajo, Mats Ekström en la batería, Mats "Mappe" Björkman en la guitarra y Johan Längqvist como cantante. La voz del barítono Johan Längqvist sirvió para que la banda comenzara a forjarse una identidad única en el mundo del heavy metal, a pesar de ello y del rápido ascenso de la reputación del grupo, nunca hizo parte formalmente de la banda aún después de la insistencia y del esfuerzo de los músicos para que permaneciera con ellos, por tal motivo Candlemass se vio en la obligación de buscar un nuevo cantante de tiempo completo, poniendo su atención en el joven Bror Jan Alfredo Marcolin, mejor conocido como Messiah Marcolin, quien recién había dejado la banda Mercy en donde aparte de cantar y escribir también tocaba la batería. En lugar de audicionar frente a ellos, cantó algunos temas del Epicus Doomicus Metallicus por teléfono mientras la madre de Marcolin sostenía el auricular, impresionados por su desempeño inmediatamente le ofrecieron el puesto como nuevo cantante mientras el guitarrista líder Lars "Lasse" Johansson también era reclutado junto al nuevo baterista Jan Lindh, dando así inicio a la formación clásica de la banda. El siguiente álbum que grabaron fue Nightfall (1987), reconocido como uno de los mejores discos de doom metal jamás realizados y el cual dio una nueva dimensión al grupo debido al cambio en la formación. Los siguientes álbumes fueron Ancient Dreams (1988) y Tales of Creation (1989). En 1990 un disco en directo vio la luz. Por esa época, las diferencias comenzaron a surgir entre los miembros del grupo, terminando en la decisión de Messiah Marcolin de abandonar la banda. Después de la salida de Marcolin, Candlemass reclutó al futuro cantante de Therion, Thomas Vikström, para grabar el disco Chapter VI (1992). El disco no tuvo mucho éxito, y tras poco tiempo el grupo se disolvió, principalmente por la decisión de Leif de formar otro proyecto llamado Abstrakt Algebra. El proyecto no salió todo lo bien que Leif hubiera deseado, resultando ser una gran pérdida de dinero. Por ello Leif resucitó el nombre de Candlemass, junto a una formación completamente nueva para grabar dos nuevos discos de estudio: Dactylis Glomerata (1998) (al parecer es el nombre científico de una planta a la que Leif Edling es alérgico) en donde contó con el apoyo del guitarrista Michael Amott y From the 13th Sun (1999). Sin tener el éxito de anteriores álbumes, estos discos fueron muy bien recibidos por la crítica y el público, a pesar de que la voz más "sucia" y "rasposa" del vocalista Björn Flodkvist había ofrecido un cambio de estilo notorio. En el año 2002, la formación clásica de Candlemass decidieron reagruparse, lanzándose a una gira por Europa que tuvo un gran éxito entre los fanes, resultando en la grabación de un disco en directo. Sus primeros discos fueron remasterizados (Epicus Doomicus Metallicus, Nightfall, Ancient Dreams y Tales of Creation), junto con el lanzamiento de un DVD, titulado Documents of Doom, con material nunca visto de uno de los conciertos de la banda. Finalmente, la formación clásica reunida una vez más con Messiah Marcolin trabajó en un nuevo disco de estudio, y tras muchos problemas, en los que el grupo se declaró disuelto un par de veces, lanzaron en 2005 el álbum homónimo Candlemass, con el cual ganaron un Grammy sueco ese mismo año pero Marcolin abandonó la banda una vez más al año siguiente. También existe una edición especial de dicho disco que cuenta con la participación del exvocalista de Black Sabbath, Tony Martin en algunas canciones. En reemplazo de Messiah Marcolin entró el cantante Robert Lowe, líder de los también pioneros del epic doom Solitude Aeturnus en 2006, con quienes grabó los aclamados álbumes King of the Grey Islands (2007), Death Magic Doom (2009) y Psalms for the Dead (2012), considerado el disco final de la agrupación. No obstante y después de 6 años como miembro de la agrupación, Robert fue expulsado de la banda en el 2012 por la tensión que provocaba sobre los demás al no memorizar las letras de las canciones, llegando incluso a leerlas de un cuaderno mientras aún se encontraba sobre la tarima, ​ a pesar de que él mismo afirma ser el mejor cantante que la banda ha tenido. Como reemplazo de Robert entró a la agrupación el vocalista Mats Levén, antiguo integrante de la banda de Yngwie Malmsteen, y quien estuvo presente en la banda en 2006 después de la salida de Messiah Marcolin mientras se definía el futuro de la banda. Actualmente se desempeña como el principal cantante de las giras de la agrupación, quienes en el 2016 decidieron por primera vez embarcarse en un tour por América Latina, una región poco explorada por el doom metal en donde se presentarán en el mes de abril por México, Colombia, Perú, Chile, Argentina y Brasil. El 3 de junio de este año (2016) salió un EP de cuatro canciones titulado "Death Thy Lover" a través de Napalm Records. El pasado mes de abril su antigua discográfica (Peaceville Records) lanzó al mercado un triple álbum recopilatorio que incluye también dos DVD titulado "Behind The Wall Of Doom" exactamente el 28 de abril salió a la venta.

The talk covers speciesism (discrimination based on species) and connections to other issues such as capitalism, colonisation and racism.  Links: Check out the video of the full talk on Animal Rebellion's Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMBWOUnuicQ&ab_channel=AnimalRebellion Find out more about Animal Rebellion here: https://animalrebellion.org/  Music: Every Last Life by RESIST AND EXIST: https://resistandexist.bandcamp.com/track/every-last-life Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land by MARINA: https://www.marinaofficial.co.uk/ Black Magic by Baker Boy and Dallas Woods: https://www.bakerboyofficial.com/

In episode three, I'm joined by my partner who is a massive fan of MARINA! We discuss her new single "Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land" and discuss our thoughts and feelings. We chat about the new live concert MARINA is doing in the middle of the desert and I have an exciting announcement at the end of the episode which you don't want to miss! Stay tuned!

On our second episode, we paired international Pop superstar Marina with clinical therapist Dr. Donna Rockwell to learn more about the psychology behind fandom and “stanning.” What cerebral activity is going on in our brain when we see an artist that we're a fan of? Why do some of us lose interest in certain artists while others remain fans throughout their lives? And why do fans sometimes turn on their beloveds? (Marina's new album "Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land" will be out on June 11th)

“It is India that gave us the ingenious method of expressing all numbers by means of ten symbols, each symbol receiving a value of position as well as an absolute value; a profound and important idea which appears so simple to us now that we ignore its true merit. But its very simplicity and the great ease which it has lent to computations put our arithmetic in the first rank of useful inventions; and we shall appreciate the grandeur of the achievement the more when we remember that it escaped the genius of Archimedes and Apollonius, two of the greatest men produced by antiquity.” ― Pierre-Simon Laplace As promised in the show sharing link to this amazing book Gods and Robots: Myths, Machines, and Ancient Dreams of Technology : Adreinne Mayor https://amzn.to/2LdG4LV Listen , learn and enjoy !

S2E6 - Histories of AI: Ancient Greek Myths and the Last AI Boom In 2020, and for our first episode in the new decade, we thought it would be good to continue to dig deeper into how AI has developed over time. Learning about the roots of AI, we are reminded that the north star of this field has always been what we tend to call artificial general intelligence today, intelligence that reflects the full breadth of human intelligence. This puts in context why the recent breakthroughs have been so significant, and at the same time there is still so far to go. On this week’s episode of The AI Element we are joined by two guests who share two very different histories of AI,  one of its ancient roots and the other of contemporary challenges in operationalizing it for mass use.  Adrienne Mayor is a historian and research scholar at Stanford University whose recent work focuses on the earliest imaginings of AI in ancient myths. She shares some insights from ancient Greek myths like Homer’s Iliad and writings by Aristotle that show that AI and AGI have long been part of the human imagination.  Ronjon Nag reflects on the history of AI through his own experience. He’s an inventor, a distinguished Careers Research Fellow at Stanford and has pioneered a number of neural net applications since the 80s. He’s developed some of the first speech and handwriting recognition software and talks about the development of AI applications over the past 4 decades, and how though we’ve come a long way, there is still a long way to go.  00:55: Jonnie Penn, AI Historian: What not to optimize  2:00: Adrienne Mayor - Stanford University  2:17: Gods and Robots: Myths, Machines and Ancient Dreams of Technology 13:40: Talos Missile   14:13: TALOS (uniform) - Wikipedia  17:53: Harvard Divinity School  19:57: Ronjon Nag - Stanford University  20:30: Computers That Learn by Doing - Fortune Magazine  21:59: How William Shatner Changed the World - Martin Cooper, mobile phone inventor - Youtube  28:37: Google DeepMind  32:24: SpiNNaker Project  34:15: Grammatik - Wikipedia  34:38: Grammarly  36:13: The Boundaries of Humanity Project    ---------   S2E6 – Historique de l’IA : Mythes de la Grèce antique et le dernier boum de l’IA En 2020, et pour notre premier épisode de la nouvelle décennie, nous avons pensé qu’il serait bon de continuer à approfondir l’évolution de l’IA dans le temps. En apprenant au sujet des racines de l’IA, on nous rappelle que l’étoile du Nord de ce domaine a toujours été ce que nous avons tendance à appeler aujourd’hui l’intelligence artificielle générale (IAG) qui reflète toute l’étendue de l’intelligence humaine. Cela met en contexte les raisons pour lesquelles les récentes percées ont été si importantes et, en même temps, il reste encore beaucoup à faire. Dans l’épisode de cette semaine de The AI Element nous accueillons deux invités qui partagent deux histoires très différentes de l’IA, l’une de ses racines anciennes et l’autre des défis contemporains de son opérationnalisation pour un usage de masse.  Adrienne Mayor est historienne et chercheuse à l’Université de Stanford. Ses travaux récents portent sur les premières abstractions de l’IA dans les mythes anciens. Elle nous fait part de quelques idées tirées des mythes grecs anciens comme l’Iliade d’Homère et des écrits d’Aristote qui montrent que l’IA et l’IAG font depuis longtemps partie de l’imagination humaine.  Ronjon Nag réfléchit sur l’histoire de l’IA à travers sa propre expérience. Il est un inventeur, un éminent chercheur de carrière à Stanford et a été le pionnier d’un certain nombre d’applications de réseaux neuronaux depuis les années 80. Il a développé certains des premiers logiciels de reconnaissance de la parole et de l’écriture et parle du développement des applications d’IA au cours des 4 dernières décennies, et comment, bien que nous ayons fait beaucoup de progrès, il reste encore beaucoup de chemin à parcourir.  00:55 : Jonnie Penn, historienne de l’IA : Quoi ne pas

Millennia before engineering or software, robots and
 artificial intelligence were brought to life in Greek myths. The author of Gods and Robots Myths, Machines, and Ancient Dreams of Technology traces the link between technology and tyranny from modern day concerns over AI to back to antiquities fear of beings were "made, not born.” Adrienne Mayor is a folklorist and historian of ancient science who investigates natural knowledge contained in pre-scientific myths and oral traditions. She has been at Stanford University since 02006; Gods and Robots (2018) is her most recent book. Her other books include The First Fossil Hunters: Paleontology in Greek and Roman Times (2000); Greek Fire, Poison Arrows, and Scorpion Bombs: Biological and Chemical Warfare in the Ancient World (2003); The Amazons: Lives and Legends of Warrior Women (2014); and a biography of Mithradates, The Poison King (2010), a National Book Award finalist. She is a 02018-19 Berggruen Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS), co-sponsors of this talk. While at CASBS she is continuing her investigations about how imagination is a link between myths about technology and science. Other projects include researching interdisciplinary topics in geomythology, to discover natural knowledge and scientific realities embedded in mythological traditions about nature.

Today’s culture obsesses over the topics of robotics, artificial intelligence, and transhumanism. These ideas are timeless, however, and were explored in ancient Greek myths and philosophy. We take a journey into humanity’s eternal impulse to create sentient tech – from the tale of Talos to the rebellion of Prometheus, from Aristotle’s speculation on slave automatons to early attempts at cyborgs. In ancient and modern times, we keep running into demiurges on Olympus and their machinations to make man into an obedient replicant.

The Fulfillment of Ancient Dreams Easter Sunday Week 36 of the Gospel Year April 21, 2019 Mark 16 The Reverend Thomas McKenzie Vicar (Pastor) Church of the Redeemer (Anglican) Nashville, TN

Did the ancient world, Greek and Hindu, imagine robots and technology that are coming true today? Dr. Adrienne Mayor at Stanford University, a research scholar in classics, history and the philosophy of science, says yes. She has written a wonderful new book called Gods and Robots: Myths, Machines, and Ancient Dreams of Technology and spoke in this podcast about the nature of technology, whether human use and abuse of technology and whether artificial intelligence (AI) could ever develop the conscience for mercy, or even crack a dark joke.

The first robot to walk the earth was a bronze giant called Talos. This wondrous machine was created not by the MIT Robotics Lab, but by Hephaestus, the Greek god of invention. More than 2,500 years ago, long before medieval automata, and centuries before technology made self-moving devices possible, Greek mythology was exploring ideas about creating artificial life―and grappling with still-unresolved ethical concerns about biotechne, “life through craft.” Mythic automata appear in tales about Jason and the Argonauts, Medea, Daedalus, Prometheus, and Pandora, and many of these machines are described as being built with the same materials and methods that human artisans used to make tools and statues. And, indeed, many sophisticated animated devices were actually built in antiquity, reaching a climax with the creation of a host of automata in the ancient city of learning, Alexandria, the original Silicon Valley. In Gods and Robots: Myths, Machines, and Ancient Dreams of Technology, Dr. Adrienne Mayor tells the fascinating story of the earliest expressions of the timeless impulse to create artificial life and reveals how some of today's most advanced innovations in robotics and AI were foreshadowed in ancient myth. Adrienne Mayor is a Research Scholar in Classics and History and Philosophy of Science and Berggruen Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. She is a folklorist and historian of ancient science who investigates natural knowledge contained in pre-scientific myths and oral traditions. Her research looks at ancient "folk science" precursors, alternatives, and parallels to modern scientific methods. Her work has been featured on NPR, the BBC, the History Channel, the New York Times, Smithsonian, and National Geographic. Carrie Lynn Evans is a PhD student at Université Laval in Quebec City.

The first robot to walk the earth was a bronze giant called Talos. This wondrous machine was created not by the MIT Robotics Lab, but by Hephaestus, the Greek god of invention. More than 2,500 years ago, long before medieval automata, and centuries before technology made self-moving devices possible, Greek mythology was exploring ideas about creating artificial life―and grappling with still-unresolved ethical concerns about biotechne, “life through craft.” Mythic automata appear in tales about Jason and the Argonauts, Medea, Daedalus, Prometheus, and Pandora, and many of these machines are described as being built with the same materials and methods that human artisans used to make tools and statues. And, indeed, many sophisticated animated devices were actually built in antiquity, reaching a climax with the creation of a host of automata in the ancient city of learning, Alexandria, the original Silicon Valley. In Gods and Robots: Myths, Machines, and Ancient Dreams of Technology, Dr. Adrienne Mayor tells the fascinating story of the earliest expressions of the timeless impulse to create artificial life and reveals how some of today's most advanced innovations in robotics and AI were foreshadowed in ancient myth. Adrienne Mayor is a Research Scholar in Classics and History and Philosophy of Science and Berggruen Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University.

Happy Australia Day/ Invasion day or just plain hi, how are you today; whatever floats your boat these days. Hopefully everyone is taking care of themselves in this extra hot summer and keeping hydrated. Whoever it was that invited Diablo or whoever please send them home. Happy 20th birthday to Super Smash Bros, it seemed like 20 years at the E3 release for the latest installment of fun, but no, the game with the same head developer is 20, well done. We meander down the path of other games that have stood the test of time, either in the same original format of reincarnated into newer and slightly different formats. Then DJ brings us some news about the Oscar nominations, and Black Panther is on it, I know, yay, go Marvel. DJ is happy about that, and congratulations on a super hero movie finally getting a nomination. Hollywood is starting to recognise Nerds are a large market share finally. There are some interesting names on the list, including Green Book, a film worth checking out. Then Buck brings us a book entitled ‘Gods and Robots’ that looks at the historical accounts of robots and automatons throughout civilisation in many different forms. He is like a kid in a candy shop he is so excited. We also have the regular shout outs and events of interest, including a special birthday for Selma and Patty, who? Listen and find out. Thanks as always for your continued listening and support, take care of yourselves and look out for each other, and drink heaps of water.EPISODE NOTES:Super Smash brother turns 20- https://twitter.com/Sora_Sakurai/status/1087140521020088320/- https://www.videogamer.com/news/super-smash-bros-turns-20-todayOscar Nominations 2019- https://variety.com/2019/film/news/oscar-nominations-2019-list-1203112405/Gods and Robots- https://www.sciencenews.org/article/our-fascination-robots-goes-all-way-back-antiquityGames currently playingProfessor– Super Smash Brother Ultimate - https://www.smashbros.com/en_AU/Buck– Elder Scrolls Online - https://store.steampowered.com/app/306130/The_Elder_Scrolls_Online/DJ– Darksiders 3 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/606280/Darksiders_III/Other topics discussedPong (1972 Game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PongE.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982 Game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.T._the_Extra-Terrestrial_(video_game)881 E.T cartridges buried- https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/08/881-e-t-cartridges-buried-in-new-mexico-desert-sell-for-107930-15/Pac Man (1980 Game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-ManAsteroids (1979 Game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroids_(video_game)Spacewar (1962 Game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacewar!Frogger (1981 Game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FroggerCall of Duty (first-person shooter video game franchise)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_of_DutyMaster hand (Smash Brothers boss)- https://supersmashbros.fandom.com/wiki/Master_HandStreet Fighter (fighting video game franchise)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_FighterDouble Dragon (1987 Game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Dragon_(video_game)Double Dragon 4 (2017 Game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Dragon_IVThe Day of the Triffids (1951 Novel)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_of_the_TriffidsOscar nomination firsts- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-01-23/oscar-nominations-netflix-roma-marvel-black-panther-historic/10738056- https://slate.com/culture/2019/01/oscar-nominees-2019-first-superhero.htmlSeasame Street Lawsuit against Happytime Murders’ Lawsuit- http://fortune.com/2018/05/31/the-happytime-murders-movie-lawsuit/Lady Gaga quoting Bradley Cooper when winning an award- https://www.thehits.co.nz/spy/lady-gaga-uses-the-exact-same-same-quote-about-bradley-cooper-in-every-a-star-is-born-interview-and-it-is-hilarious/Neil Patrick Harris- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Patrick_HarrisLady Gaga wins Golden Globes for best actress in American Horror Story- https://variety.com/2016/tv/news/lady-gaga-golden-globe-winner-american-horror-story-hotel-1201676564/Halle Berry wins Oscar for Best Actress- https://www.nytimes.com/2002/03/25/movies/beautiful-mind-wins-best-actress-goes-to-halle-berry.htmlMonster’s Ball- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster%27s_BallOscar awards shake up- https://www.nme.com/news/change-is-coming-oscars-announce-new-awards-for-next-years-ceremony-2364546- https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/jan/21/oscars-awards-diversity-crisis-african-americanAnimatronio (Futurama character)- https://theinfosphere.org/AnimatronioGods and Robots: Myths, Machines, and Ancient Dreams of Technology at Amazon- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0691183511/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=sciencenews06-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0691183511&linkId=f7c8730b7bc5b59c66bfc44d81571bddAdrienne Mayor (Author)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrienne_MayorSuper Smash Brothers trophy option- https://www.ssbwiki.com/trophyFallout 76 is not going free to play- https://www.pcgamer.com/au/fallout-76-is-not-going-free-to-play-in-case-you-were-wondering/Phantom Zone (DC Comics)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_ZoneThe Cell (2000 Movie)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_CellPasteurization process- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PasteurizationMilkmaids and the Smallpox Vaccine- https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2018/02/01/582370199/whats-the-real-story-about-the-milkmaid-and-the-smallpox-vaccineShoutouts23 Jan 1849 – Elizabeth Blackwell becomes the first woman M.D - https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/first-woman-m-d23 Jan 1922 – Leonard Thompson becomes the first person to receive insulin injections as treatment for diabetes - https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/insulin-injection-aids-diabetic-patient20 Jan 2019 - Masazo Nonaka, the world's oldest man, dies aged 113 - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-01-21/masazo-nonaka-worlds-oldest-man-dies/10730738Famous Birthdays19 Jan 1736 – James Watt, Scottish inventor, mechanical engineer, and chemist who improved on Thomas Newcomen's 1712 Newcomen steam engine with his Watt steam engine in 1776, which was fundamental to the changes brought by the Industrial Revolution in both his native Great Britain and the rest of the world.

Adrienne Mayor is an author and historian of ancient science and human curiosity. She is a research scholar at Stanford University who investigates natural knowledge contained in pre-scientific myths and traditions. In this podcast Adrienne Mayor discusses the fascinating research that she presents in her book "Gods and Robots: Myths, Machines and Ancient Dreams of Technology". This is a captivating account of the earliest expressions of the enduring urge to create machines that imitate life. Adrienne Mayor presents ancient Greek, Roman, Indian and Chinese myths and traditions that envisioned artificial life, robots and self moving contraptions. It is interesting to observe that some of today's most advanced innovations in robotics and artificial intelligence were envisaged and imagined in ancient myths and traditions. After discussing a number of myths and traditions, Adrienne Mayor presents stories of a number of real machines and innovations that were developed long before the age of modern science and technology. This book is an account of ingenuity and creativity, and that how science has always been driven by imagination.

The first robot to walk the earth was a bronze giant called Talos. This wondrous machine was created not by MIT Robotics Lab, but by Hephaestus, the Greek god of invention. For a history on these ancient mythological AIs and more, folklorist and historian of science Adrienne Mayor arrived at Town Hall to present Gods and Robots: Myths, Machines, and Ancient Dreams of Technology. She brought us a richly illustrated exploration of mythology and the history of humanity’s timeless impulse to create artificial life. Mayor related fascinating stories of ancient Greek, Roman, Indian, and Chinese myths that envisioned artificial life, automata, self-moving devices, and human enhancements, and how these visions relate to and reflect the ancient invention of real animated machines. She revealed how some of today’s most advanced innovations in robotics and AI were foreshadowed in ancient myth―and how science has always been driven by imagination. Join Mayor for a collection of myths for the AI age, and a retrospective on humanity’s dreams of creating artificial life. Recorded live at Seattle University by Town Hall Seattle on Monday, December 3, 2018.

with Adrienne Mayor (@amayor) and Hanne Tidnam (@omnivorousread) Is it possible that ancient Greeks and Romans dreamed of technological innovations like robots and artificial intelligence millennia before those technologies became realities? In this episode of the a16z Podcast, Adrienne Mayor, historian of science and author of the just released Gods & Robots: Myths, Machines, and Ancient Dreams of Technology, discusses with Hanne Tidnam the earliest myths around ideas of technology and even artificial life from the ancient world -- from the first imagined robot to walk the earth, to actual historical technological wonders of the ancient world such as mechanical flying doves or a giant miles-long parade of 10-foot-tall automatons. What do these early imaginings of technological invention tell us about human nature? And what can we take from understanding the deep roots of this mythology for the era of technology, today? Mayor is the 2018-19 Berggruen Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, and author of The Amazons: Lives and Legends; Fossil Legends of the First Americans; and The Poison King, which was a National Book Award finalist.
