As we make our way through Nier Automata's post-apocalyptic world, we stumble upon an amusement park. Here we find some interesting wrinkles in how Automata frames its android vs. machine war and ponder if it succeeds in some of the ways we felt The Last of Us didn't. Enjoy the show!

Blaise Agüera y Arcas is one of most important people in AI, and apart from his leadership position as CTO of Technology & Society at Google, he has one of those resumes or affiliations lists that seems to span a lot of very fundamental things. He's amazing; the thoughtfulness and generosity with which he communicates on this episode gently embraced our brains while lazering them to mush. We hope you have the same experience. References include:Blaise's own books Who Are We Now?, Ubi Sunt, and the upcoming What Is Intelligence?He references James C. Scott's Seeing Like a State, which we strongly recommend, Benjamin Peters' How Not to Network a Nation, and Red Plenty by Francis Spufford.Strong recommendation also to Benjamin Labatut's When We Cease to Understand the World.Roberto references Luciana Parisi's Abstract Sex (our favorite book!) and the work of Lynn Margulis with respect to biology and reproduction.Blaise references James E. Lovelock's project “Daisyworld” with respect to the Gaia hypothesis.He also references the Active Inference thesis, e.g. that of Karl J. Friston, and the work of Dan Sperber and Hugo Mercer on reason.The cellular automata work referenced here involves the Von Neumann cellular automaton and the Wolfram neural cellular automaton.Wish us a happy 1 year anniversary of the pod!

In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we delve into the intricacies of one of the most fascinating planes in the D&D cosmology: Mechanus. Known for its absolute order and interlocking gears the size of small countries, Mechanus is a plane like no other. Join us as we explore the various features and inhabitants of this highly structured and symmetrical world. From the bureaucratic Modrons to the optional rules of the Law of Averages and Imposing Order, get ready for a deep dive into the intricacies of Mechanus. So grab your dice and join us as we take a journey into the heart of this incredible plane. Summary In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, We break down the Plane of Mechanus in the D&D cosmology. We describe Mechanus as a plane of absolute order, with interlocking gears the size of small countries. The gears are habitable on both sides and everything is perfectly balanced and symmetrical. Mechanus connects to three other planes: Acheron, Arcadia, and Sigil. We talk about the Modrons, creatures that inhabit Mechanus and are known for their bureaucratic and orderly nature. Two optional rules for Mechanus: the Law of Averages, where creatures always use the average damage result for attacks and spells, and Imposing Order, where visitors must make a Wisdom saving throw at the end of a long rest to avoid changing their alignment to lawful neutral. In this part of the episode, we explore the concept of law in Pathfinder and how it differs from D&D. We also delve into the hierarchy of Modrons, the native inhabitants of Mechanus, and their roles and functions within the plane. We share tidbits about Modrons, such as their limited communication abilities and the constant replacement of Modrons in the hierarchy upon death. We touch on the challenges of finding stat blocks for higher-ranking Modrons. We discuss various aspects of Mechanus, the plane of law and order in the Dungeons & Dragons multiverse. We cover topics such as the Modrons, the ruling hierarchy of Mechanus, the Ruby Rod, the Slodds, the Formians, the Gate Town of Automata, and the Great Modron March. We also mention the Hall of Concordance in Axis. Takeaways Mechanus is a plane of absolute order with interlocking gears the size of small countries The gears are habitable on both sides and everything is perfectly balanced and symmetrical Mechanus connects to three other planes: Acheron, Arcadia, and Sigil Modrons, creatures that inhabit Mechanus, are known for their bureaucratic and orderly nature Two optional rules for Mechanus: Law of Averages and Imposing Order Pathfinder has a plane dedicated to law called Axis, which falls between Mechanus and Sigil. Modrons are the only native inhabitants of Mechanus and exist in an absolute hierarchy based on the number of sides they have. Modrons have limited communication abilities and can only communicate with Modrons one step above or below them in the hierarchy. When a Modron dies, they are immediately replaced in the hierarchy, and Primus creates new Monodrones to maintain a stable number of Modrons in the multiverse. Finding stat blocks for higher-ranking Modrons can be challenging, and previous editions may provide more information. Mechanus is the plane of law and order in the D&D multiverse The Modrons are the ruling hierarchy of Mechanus The Ruby Rod is a powerful artifact that controls the Slodds The Slodds are chaotic creatures that seek to break free from Mechanus The Formians are ant-like creatures that have invaded Mechanus Automata is a Gate Town in Mechanus known for its bureaucratic and orderly nature The Great Modron March is a mysterious event that occurs every 289 years The Hall of Concordance in Axis is a place where contracts are signed and enforced Mechanus is a fascinating and complex plane with many unique features and creatures If you enjoy the show, please rate and review us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app. It's a quick, free way to support the podcast, and helps us reach new listeners.

Takeaways Mechanus is a plane of absolute order with interlocking gears the size of small countries The gears are habitable on both sides and everything is perfectly balanced and symmetrical Mechanus connects to three other planes: Acheron, Arcadia, and Sigil Modrons, creatures that inhabit Mechanus, are known for their bureaucratic and orderly nature Two optional rules for Mechanus: Law of Averages and Imposing Order Pathfinder has a plane dedicated to law called Axis, which falls between Mechanus and Sigil. Modrons are the only native inhabitants of Mechanus and exist in an absolute hierarchy based on the number of sides they have. Modrons have limited communication abilities and can only communicate with Modrons one step above or below them in the hierarchy. When a Modron dies, they are immediately replaced in the hierarchy, and Primus creates new Monodrones to maintain a stable number of Modrons in the multiverse. Finding stat blocks for higher-ranking Modrons can be challenging, and previous editions may provide more information. Mechanus is the plane of law and order in the D&D multiverse The Modrons are the ruling hierarchy of Mechanus The Ruby Rod is a powerful artifact that controls the Slodds The Slodds are chaotic creatures that seek to break free from Mechanus The Formians are ant-like creatures that have invaded Mechanus Automata is a Gate Town in Mechanus known for its bureaucratic and orderly nature The Great Modron March is a mysterious event that occurs every 289 years The Hall of Concordance in Axis is a place where contracts are signed and enforced Mechanus is a fascinating and complex plane with many unique features and creatures If you enjoy the show, please rate and review us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app. It's a quick, free way to support the podcast, and helps us reach new listeners.

In this episode of Discover Daily, we explored several cutting-edge developments in technology and conservation efforts. We began with the concerning discovery of the "Skeleton Key" technique by Microsoft researchers, which can bypass safety measures in multiple generative AI models. This method manipulates AI systems into ignoring their built-in safety protocols, potentially allowing harmful or restricted information to be extracted. Testing revealed that several prominent AI models from companies like Meta, Google, OpenAI, and others were vulnerable to this technique.We then looked into Japan's ambitious Autoflow-Road project, a 310-mile automated conveyor belt system designed to revolutionize freight transportation between Tokyo and Osaka. This innovative system aims to address Japan's critical shortage of delivery drivers while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Autoflow-Road will utilize existing infrastructure and operate 24/7, potentially replacing the work of 25,000 drivers daily. This project is a response to Japan's aging population and declining birth rate, which is expected to cause a significant drop in the number of delivery drivers by 2030.Finally, we discussed the Rhisotope Project in South Africa, a groundbreaking effort to combat rhino poaching. This innovative approach involves injecting radioactive material into live rhino horns, making them detectable by radiation sensors at international borders. The project aims to deter smuggling and reduce demand for rhino horns in traditional medicinal markets. While the project shows promise, it has faced ethical concerns and skepticism. We also touched on Toys 'R' Us's recent unveiling of an AI-generated advertisement created using OpenAI's Sora platform, which has sparked both praise and criticism in the advertising world.From Perplexity's Discover feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/the-history-of-automata-GHGbYBTzQECrZ4xd5m8zwghttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/the-skeleton-key-ai-jailbreak-OuIr1gvxRQO0O2Bu6ZBI1Qhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/radioactive-rhino-horns-projec-D_fXUYMkSuuUw5VuDJjHvwhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/japan-s-massive-conveyor-belt-XKK_nmz8TcChxI8uwZQDKQhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/toys-r-us-ai-generated-ad-OWgcNO4_QLyT.Blqh.bqfgPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

In episode fifteen of the Kiln Rendez-Vous podcast, host Edgar Roth from Kiln interviews Deli Gong from Automata to discuss the solutions that Automata is bringing to the rollup space. In this episode, we'll take a look at Automata's utilization of TEE coprocessors to help rollups create an Ethereum-aligned future that prioritizes auditability, openness, and teamwork.
For its 112th episode, Radical Research travels to balmy Greece to investigate the cryptic evildoing of Hail Spirit Noir, whose hellbroth of black metal, prog, psychedelia, and witchery strikes a special chord with your hosts. We take a deep look at the band's first four albums and find ourselves more spellbound than ever before. There is no warding off the spell, so give in and join us in this most dangerous of meetings.

This podcast is conceived and conducted by Jeff Wagner and Hunter Ginn. Though we consume music in a variety of ways, we give particular privilege to the immersive, full-album listening experience. Likewise, we believe that tangible music formats help provide the richest, most rewarding immersions and that music, artwork, and song titles cooperate to produce a singular effect on the listener. Great music is worth more than we ever pay for it.
On this episode of Think Theory Radio we discuss the past, present, & future of robotics! From ancient Egyptian & Greek automatons to the modern version of robots we take a deep dive into humanities obsession with creating mechanoids. Who was "father of robotics?" What are the most fascinating automata of antiquity? When and how was the term "robot" created? Plus, the craziest robots currently in operation!!
During the 18th century, early animatronics were hot. They were featured in circuses, carnivals, and other touring exhibitions, and were usually built and operated with various parts like axles, chains, cogs, gears, levers, pulleys, wheels, wind-up keys – you get the point. For Austrian Empress Maria Theresa, in 1769, Hungarian inventor Wolfgang von Kempelen's created the Mechanical Turk, a chess-playing machine that could beat almost any person who played against it. The Turk appeared to be a fully functional artificial intelligence to those who saw and interacted with it. It left audiences delighted, but baffled as to how it worked -- until a young poet named Edgar Allan Poe convinced many audiences it was not what it seemed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
After the 1844 Paris expo, Robert-Houdin turned his efforts to creating his own stage show. He created automata tricks that still delight today, and quickly became a very famous magician.
