Hello our fancy AI bots, and welcome to episode 115. This week we are talking about AI, and we have a fantastic panel of experts to bring us through the topic of AI and accessibility. We will be talking about Meta Ray Bans, Envision glasses, Apple Intelligence and even some existential questions. The panel (Brian Dalton, David Renstrom, Jesse Weinholt, Josh O'Connor and Mohammed Laachir) are well-placed to give their own views on current products, future products, and you never know, you might get some ideas on dinner if we can work out how to get our smart glasses to read a menu. So, strip down to your Cyborg inner self, and prepare for judgement day by listening to the number 1 podcast from the future: Blind Guys Chat! 11 out of 15 AI bots prefer it to a slap in the face.

On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Brian Dalton back to the show. Brian is president and CEO of Altius Minerals, a diversified mining royalty and streaming company operating in Canada, the U.S., and Brazil. Brian kicks things off by sharing the basics of Altius Minerals – what the company does, what sets it apart from other natural resource royalty companies, and the option value of its assets. He also talks a bit about his background and how he got his start in prospecting. (1:21) Next, Brian explores the renewable-energy part of the business. Altius took its coal revenues and reinvested those to write royalties on renewable-energy projects, particularly wind and solar. As Brian explains, nearly all of these projects have some aspect involving energy storage. And best of all, renewable energy's resource life is basically "infinite." (15:53) Then, Brian delves into copper. He urges listeners to ignore all of the noise around the metal – from both the "woke" and "antiwoke" sides of the aisle – and to realize that demand is steadily rising. In the short term, he says that investors can really take advantage of volatility and the irrationality of price cycles. But there's also a lot of money to be made long term, as demand isn't going anywhere. "Copper is electricity," Brian notes. Further, he discusses incentivization prices, operating costs, and the future of the industry. (28:59) Finally, Brian talks about nuclear energy's prospects, Altius' history with uranium royalties, and how he makes decisions about Altius' capital allocation. Unlike many other companies, Altius treats share buybacks as if they're competing against external investment opportunities. If the best value in the market is in the assets Altius already owns, and if there's a wide spread between that value and the share price, only then do buybacks happen. (44:50)

Hello little bumblebees and welcome to episode 99. This week we welcome back guest host Brian Dalton. Brian joined the Blind Guys on a school trip to the Dublin Royal Convention Centre last Saturday. Yes, we've hit the big time - BGC were invited to speak at the Retina International World Congress 2024 about assistive technology and how it helps us in our daily lives. What a thrill it must have been for those 6 million attendees to see us in real life, eh?! Ah no, seriously, we had a wonderful time at this excellent event, and it was an honour to be involved. You can hear our presentation on this week's show where you will hear us talk about IBM's Apollo screen reader, the EmBraille, Cobolt air fryers, and much more. A special thanks to Fighting Blindness who hosted RIWC24, AV Partners who allowed Clodagh behind the velvet rope to monitor the tech end of things, and to all the fab volunteers who worked at the event across the 4 days. Also, on the show we talk about another field trip we took recently to Google's new Accessible Discovery Centre in Dublin. Brian, Clodagh, Óran and Larry went to have a look at all the cool stuff they have. Óran was particularly impressed with a low-tech device called a social barometer pin, while Larry was happy to see another doggy in the building. It was a great experience and the people at Google were fantastic. The guys thoroughly recommend you visit ADC Dublin. You can book your tour via this email address: adc-dublin@google.com.

Hello our little snow ploughs! Welcome to this episode of BGC. This week, we are joined by our guest host, Brian Dalton. Brian has had a very interesting life, as you will find out right from the start. Jan and Óran finally discover the answer to a burning question: if blind from birth, do you see in your dreams? Brian and one other have the answer. Have you ever experienced Non-24? Well, Brian has, and he's got some very strange tales to tell when he eventually falls asleep. Not on the show of course!! Jan has a new addition to the household, or shall we say, he managed to open his wallet using a crowbar and spend the cash inside on a new vacuum cleaner called a Roomba. He can use his Google Home to set it off to do chores, and it can even go under his bed. Watch out little dust mites! Our guest this week is Christopher Patnoe, Head of Accessibility and Disability Inclusion, EMEA @ Google. He tells us how he got started in accessibility and all about the Accessibility Discovery Center (ADC) in London. It's a cool place and open to the public; all you have to do is send an email to adclondon@gmail.com to make a booking. Brian briefly shoves Óran off his soapbox as he wants to talk about the lack of audio description in cinemas. Are you experiencing this? Let us know at blindguyschat@gmail.com. Clodagh's got an email from Darragh who is looking for some advice on kitchen accessories. Brian suggests a Cobalt air fryer, and Jan has a cool light meter that helps him when making coffee. Finally, if you want to hear more from Brian, tune in to Team FM for his 'Welcome to the Weekend' radio show. So, put your rabbit on the Hoover and watch it spin round and round with excitement. Tell Google Home to make you a coffee and settle down to be mystified by Blind Guys Chat. 19 out of 20 robots on the moon prefer it to lying on their sides after landing.

Interview with Brian Dalton, President & CEO of Altius Minerals Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/altius-minerals-als-100m-pa-revenue-from-green-investing-3304Recording date: 15th December 2023Altius Minerals holds an impressive portfolio of royalties and streams, with significant exposure to copper and potash markets set to see major supply shortfalls. Its focused strategy stands to benefit enormously if management's bullish views on commodity supercycle play out.CEO Brian Dalton foresees widening gaps between supply and demand across metals crucial to the green energy transition. Depleting reserves have reduced output from existing mines even as EV growth and global development drive more consumption. The result is drastically underinvestment in new production capacity that will take a commodity price surge to unlock.In copper specifically, champions like Altius argue rapidly expanding electric grid and vehicle manufacturing needs will overwhelm flatlining supply, likely spurring prices past incentive thresholds. As the lowest cost producer globally, operations in Altius' royalty portfolio would stand to dramatically boost volumes should attractive economics exist.While inflation and political turmoil have challenged mining companies, royalty holders avoid much of this exposure. Increased costs for operators generally translate into higher commodity selling prices. With its lucrative 3% Kami iron royalty and 2% Curipamba copper stream among others, an Altius investment offers upside to the coming commodity bull run.Two Key Catalysts ApproachingBeyond the compelling long-term thesis, Altius has potential near-term catalysts ahead. Champion Iron is set to release feasibility study results for its Kami project, where Altius holds a major royalty. The study will detail production scale, guiding valuation.Additionally, AngloGold Ashanti is advancing Silicon, revealed as a Tier-1 gold discovery royalty for Altius. AngloGold executive commentary points to a large, potentially 300-600k ounce annual operation in the making. As realization of this world-class asset grows, Altius' royalty stake may warrant portfolio elevation or market sale.Long-Term Mindset Anchors Volatile MarketsCommodity investors know cycles come and go. Underpinning Altius strategy is exploiting the trough to own stakes in mineral resources themselves. In royalties like Silicon with exploration roots, this philosophy bore fruit in discovery lottery tickets matured patiently into prime assets. Alongside commodity uptrends, such high-conviction positioning stands to thrive.Management doesn't pretend to predict precisely when markets turn. But after years sounding caution, they express growing confidence prices now teeter at levels ushering investment anew. For investors similarly optimistic on global energy decarbonization and electrification trends, Altius offers both broad commodity exposure and idiosyncratic drivers like Kami steelmaking advances.In Altius Minerals, royalty stakes offer asymmetric returns to those aligned with management's supercycle worldview. When cycles swing favorably, royalty economics cannot be beat. As an inflation hedge with tangible backing, commodity royalty vehicles seem destined for greater attention. Altius allow investors to focus fully on the long-term supply/demand dynamics tilting the playing field.—View Altius Minerals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/altius-minerals-corporationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
We've got the latest installment of Paper Boy in today's Chump Line ahead of its release! (If you would like to order a copy pre-sale, head to our site.) Then, Howie welcomes Brian Dalton and his lawyer, Andrew Quinio, to the show to discuss their class-action lawsuit against the policies discriminating against straight, white men!
Expert Brian Dalton shares insights regarding trends in mining and renewables in this episode which is guest-hosted by Brian Leni of JuniorStockReview.com. Brian Dalton is the CEO of Altius Minerals which is celebrating its 25th year as a project generation and royalty company in Canada. In this conversation with Dalton, we cover some of the most pressing issues for companies across the spectrum of the junior resource sector. Environmental permitting, how important is it for project development and where it ranks in terms of risk. Continuing with the environmental theme, nitrogen emissions have sprung up in the mainstream media with the Canadian and Netherland governments instituting restrictions. Dalton gives his view on how this may or may not affect the other 2 vital fertilizers – Phosphorus and Potassium. It is easy to put together a bullish outlook, but is there any way that the expectation falls short? Further we discuss whether a rising interest rate environment is the perfect scenario for royalty and streaming companies to become the preferred source of capital for project development. Finally, we look at the most popular base and precious metals (copper, nickel, uranium, gold, silver, iron ore, and zinc) with Dalton giving a brief comment on his outlook for each. This is a must-listen! 0:00 Introduction 1:05 Environmental permitting risk 2:20 Nitrogen emission restrictions to impact potash demand? 4:36 Pace of changing mining operations to lower carbon emissions 8:20 Where or how could this seemingly very bullish future for natural resources fall short? 14:07 Biggest new royalty avenues in the renewable sector? 23:13 Increase in interest rates the perfect scenario for royalty and streaming companies to finance projects? 27:50 Cyclical capital availability determines Altius' focus 29:40 Altius' current portfolio of producing royalties is exclusively base metal focused, do you foresee this changing in the future? 37:05 Will the Newfoundland gold rush continue or was that just a flash in the pan? 39:10 Rapid fire – Bullish or Bearish on specific metals Brian Leni's service: http://www.juniorstockreview.com/premium-subscription/ Altius Minerals: https://altiusminerals.com/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Altius Minerals is not a sponsor of Mining Stock Education and neither MSE nor Junior Stock Review received compensation from Altius to conduct this interview.

Welcome back and thank you for tuning into episode 7 of Blind Guys Chat. Christmas is very definitely in the air on this week's show and the guys are thinking of gift ideas. Not sure if they're buying for each other, or just throwing out suggestions, but regardless, we hope you may find something of interest from their selection. Jan recently invested in Sonos speakers and is very impressed. Stuart is exploring the world of Android accessibility and Oran loves his Apple TV. Staying on an Apple-related topic, the recent launch of the iPhone 12 mini, 12 PRO and 12 PRO Max has stirred up a lot of interest as you might expect. We asked friends of the show, Brian Dalton and Derry Lawlor, who are the lucky owners of these devices, to join us and give us the lowdown. The Blind Guys are loving 'The Crown' on Netflix, and everyone agrees that the audio description is particularly good. Eric Damery is Vice President of Software Product Management at Vispero and something of a legend in his own lunchtime in the Assistive Technology industry. With a career spanning well over 25 years in the sector, Eric joins us to talk about some of the high points, and, Eric challenges the Blind Guys to a bit of fun in our "True or False" game! Clodagh has returned with your emails and this time we've received more feedback on the Buymie service, Christmas gift ideas for Larry and Sjef and, what's this about Stuart having made contact with the North Pole?

Mr. Deity's Brian Dalton Discusses Book of Mormon Racism with Dan Wotherspoon and Charles Harrell.
This episode examines the status of the claim that the Book of Mormon teaches that dark skin is a curse from God, that because of their wickedness God cursed a group of people and actually brought about a miraculous change in their skin color so as to make them seem "loathsome" and not enticing to a more righteous group with whom they were in conflict. This claim relies upon a literal reading of various passages in the Book of Mormon that seem to draw this conclusion, as well as an extremely strong view about prophetic and scriptural inerrancy. But is this the best way to read the text, and the only real plausible conclusion to draw concerning God’s use of skin color as a marker of either disfavor or favor? Brian Dalton, the creator and star of the videocast series Mr. Deity, thinks so, and it has led him recently to create a new episode of one of his side projects, The Way of the Mister, that he titled "Mormonism is Racism." In that episode, Dalton spells out the ways in which he believes Latter-day Saints are forced to hold to such contemptible racist beliefs because they can neither jettison the Book of Mormon nor the idea in it about skin color being connected to righteousness. Through this episode and the logic he employs in it--that this conclusion about God and skin color is "so essential to the Book of Mormon story that to get rid of it would be to undermine the entire Book of Mormon and thus the entire Mormon faith," that Joseph Smith suggested the Book of Mormon could only be read literally, that because of the LDS teaching that its leaders speak directly with and for God, "you’re either all in you’re all out"--Dalton urges people everywhere to confront this vile message by exposing its centrality in Mormonism. He claims that because it’s a religious belief, "Mormons have gotten a pass," and he is adamant that this kind of religious cover for blatant racism should not be allowed to stand any longer. "Mormons have to be held accountable--even those running for high public office." In this two-part Mormon Matters episode, Brian Dalton joins Charley Harrell and host Dan Wotherspoon in a lively discussion of the Way of the Mister episode and its claims, whether there are fair readings of the Book of Mormon passages and sensibilities in question that might complicate the straight lines that Dalton draws about the message or its centrality to (or consistency within) the Book of Mormon’s story, and quite a bit about the value or harm that religion as a whole adds to this world. Parts of the discussion get a bit feisty, yet even amid some chaos (you’ll discover some "on-air" producing going on in an effort to re-orient and make new plans when the discussion takes unexpected turns) it presents important and clear contrasts in worldviews, especially related to definitions of God, scripture, what "revelation" or something being "inspired" might mean, the promise of science and if secularism is leading to a better world and more fulfilled lives than religion does (or can), and much more. Part Two presents a continued conversation between Harrell and Wotherspoon that presents looks at two perspectives that the conversation with Dalton left by the wayside: (1) alternate possible readings of the Book of Mormon if it were to be examined it on its own terms, and from the perspective that it is a thousand-year abridged history of actual, ancient people and what this might yield in terms of a different framing about racism present in the passages in dispute, and also what the implications would be for Mormons today in terms of their being forced by logic to believe in the skin color claim; and (2) how these passages and their centrality to the Mormon faith might look from a perspective that admits nineteenth-century origins for the Book of Mormon, either as the sole creation of Joseph Smith’s imagination or through some kind of "revelation" that involves both divine and human influence on the text that resulted. And, if any of this is admitted, how might this new perspective on prophetic production affect statements such as Joseph Smith’s declaration that the Book of Mormon was translated by "the gift and power of God," and that it is "the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book"?

This claim relies upon a literal reading of various passages in the Book of Mormon that seem to draw this conclusion, as well as an extremely strong view about prophetic and scriptural inerrancy. But is this the best way to read the text, and the only real plausible conclusion to draw concerning God’s use of skin color as a marker of either disfavor or favor? Brian Dalton, the creator and star of the videocast series Mr. Deity, thinks so, and it has led him recently to create a new episode of one of his side projects, The Way of the Mister, that he titled "Mormonism is Racism." In that episode, Dalton spells out the ways in which he believes Latter-day Saints are forced to hold to such contemptible racist beliefs because they can neither jettison the Book of Mormon nor the idea in it about skin color being connected to righteousness. Through this episode and the logic he employs in it--that this conclusion about God and skin color is "so essential to the Book of Mormon story that to get rid of it would be to undermine the entire Book of Mormon and thus the entire Mormon faith," that Joseph Smith suggested the Book of Mormon could only be read literally, that because of the LDS teaching that its leaders speak directly with and for God, "you’re either all in you’re all out"--Dalton urges people everywhere to confront this vile message by exposing its centrality in Mormonism. He claims that because it’s a religious belief, "Mormons have gotten a pass," and he is adamant that this kind of religious cover for blatant racism should not be allowed to stand any longer. "Mormons have to be held accountable--even those running for high public office." In this two-part Mormon Matters episode, Brian Dalton joins Charley Harrell and host Dan Wotherspoon in a lively discussion of the Way of the Mister episode and its claims, whether there are fair readings of the Book of Mormon passages and sensibilities in question that might complicate the straight lines that Dalton draws about the message or its centrality to (or consistency within) the Book of Mormon’s story, and quite a bit about the value or harm that religion as a whole adds to this world. Parts of the discussion get a bit feisty, yet even amid some chaos (you’ll discover some "on-air" producing going on in an effort to re-orient and make new plans when the discussion takes unexpected turns) it presents important and clear contrasts in worldviews, especially related to definitions of God, scripture, what "revelation" or something being "inspired" might mean, the promise of science and if secularism is leading to a better world and more fulfilled lives than religion does (or can), and much more. Part Two presents a continued conversation between Harrell and Wotherspoon that presents looks at two perspectives that the conversation with Dalton left by the wayside: (1) alternate possible readings of the Book of Mormon if it were to be examined it on its own terms, and from the perspective that it is a thousand-year abridged history of actual, ancient people and what this might yield in terms of a different framing about racism present in the passages in dispute, and also what the implications would be for Mormons today in terms of their being forced by logic to believe in the skin color claim; and (2) how these passages and their centrality to the Mormon faith might look from a perspective that admits nineteenth-century origins for the Book of Mormon, either as the sole creation of Joseph Smith’s imagination or through some kind of "revelation" that involves both divine and human influence on the text that resulted. And, if any of this is admitted, how might this new perspective on prophetic production affect statements such as Joseph Smith’s declaration that the Book of Mormon was translated by "the gift and power of God," and that it is "the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book"?
