He's now developing a new, speculative theory of consciousness centered on rhythm. The conversation explores why he thinks "having a mind" is a graded property rather than a yes-or-no one — and what that implies for earthworms, bacteria, and plants. We discuss how many selves may exist inside a single octopus. Godfrey-Smith explains why he suspects rhythmic, large-scale electrical activity in the brain — not just point-to-point neural firing — is essential to consciousness. He also addresses what Anthropic's discovery of a "workspace" inside Claude does and doesn't show, and why he assigns computers a very low probability of being conscious. Finally, he makes the case for why a silicon neuron could never do "exactly" what a biological one does. This is an in-depth conversation with Peter Godfrey-Smith.

Having first joined us in April 2024, Jet is back for another chat about all that he has been up to! He is slowly but surely taking over the IFish TV show from his dad, has recently visited SA to fish all around Port Lincoln and also presented at a Flathead Forum for RecFish SA. He has also been smashing the fish off the east coast of Tassie, including an epic day out catching a Marlin, Swordfish and Yellowfin Tuna all in the one day! But the fish he still wants to tick off his bucket list - a Samson Fish, right here in SA!We also chat about all of the news in SA fishing:Cuttlefish numbers at Whyalla have been low, but some optimism now that they may have arrived, albeit a bit late!Boat speed cameras installed to tell boaties if they are abiding by the 4 knot speed limit in a few locations across the state.50 Tonne of Kingfish dies off Port Lincoln with a link to Algal bloom!Reef modules are in the water off Nepean Bay KI, while the Sea Wolves Dive Club have dived on the artificial reef off Wirrina.Bird Flu has hit mainland AustraliaOur tackle item of the week is the Kimbo Knife Sharpener that Dizzy has loved using and Rohdey has just ordered one in the EOFY sales! Plus - all the fishing reports with the Barrel Tuna still around after a period of bad weather, while winter Salmon fire across the state and the winter whiting are coming good too!

This episode tackles one of the quietest drains in school leadership: performing a version of yourself that isn't real. Shane introduces the cuttlefish dilemma, the pattern where leaders adapt their identity to fit a borrowed picture of what leadership is supposed to look like, and explains exactly why that performance compounds cognitive overload and leaves you running on empty by midweek. It matters now because leadership development programmes often reinforce this by handing leaders a mould to fit rather than helping them lead from what they already bring. You'll learn why starting with your values before any strategy or change project is the move that changes everything, and how your classroom experience holds more leadership instinct than you've probably been shown how to use. Shane shares what he saw across twenty leaders in his last coaching intensive, where the shift from performing to genuinely leading as themselves produced the most significant breakthroughs of the ten weeks. If you've ever felt like the job is heavier than it should be, this episode will help you work out exactly why.Episode PartnersInternational Curriculum AssociationSisiJoin Shane's Intensive Leadership Programme at educationleaders.co/intensiveShane Leaning, an organisational coach based in Shanghai, supports school leaders globally.

Episode 3 of "Animal Talk"! In this episode, Oz, Rosie, and Morton tell us about a wacky animal that lives in the ocean: the Cuttlefish!Look out for another full-length episode, coming soon!

Hi friends! We're skipping a beat to take care of some spring housekeeping tasks. We will be back in May! In the meanwhile, enjoy this listener favorite from our archives! ----- [originally aired April 30, 2025] We humans have a hard time becoming invisible. For better or worse, we're basically stuck with the skin and body we have; we're pretty fixed in our color, our shape, our overall appearance. And so we're fascinated by creatures that aren't—creatures that morph to meet the moment, that can functionally disappear, that can shape-shift on a dime. And no creatures are more skilled, more astonishing, more bedazzling in their abilities to do this kind of thing than the cephalopods. But how do they do this exactly? What's going on in their skin? What's going on under their skin? And what's going on in their brains that makes this all possible? My guest today is Dr. Tessa Montague. Tessa is a neuroscientist in the Axel Lab at Columbia University; she studies the brain and behavior of the dwarf cuttlefish, with a special focus on the biology of their dynamic skin behaviors. Here, Tessa and I talk about how cuttlefish and other cephalopods exhibit the most impressive camouflaging abilities on the planet. We discuss how they change their skin's appearance with remarkable speed and fidelity—and not just when trying to blend in, but also when hunting, courting, fighting, and more. We talk about whether these behaviors are flexible and whether they're voluntary. We linger on the cruel irony that cuttlefish seem to be colorblind. We talk about the idea that a cephalopod's skin is kind of a window into their brain. We lay out the cells and organs in the cephalopod skin the make these behaviors possible—especially the tiny pigment-bearing structures called "chromatophores." And of course we also dive deep into the cephalopod brain and its sometimes bizarre and poorly understood structures. Excited to share it with you friends—I think you'll enjoy it. Without further ado, here's my chat with Dr. Tessa Montague.   A transcript of this episode is available here.   Notes and links 3:00 – For more on Dr. Montague's recent expeditions to the Philippines, including photos, see here. 7:30 – Dr. Montague has published two recent reviews of dynamic skin behaviors in cephalopods—see here and here.

George and Mike talk to Matthew about his career and how he got into comics, how winning a prestigious award changed his perspective, crossword puzzles, bar trivia, British comedies, the TRUE meaning of Flake, and a whole lot more. Aristotle's Cuttlefish, Flake, and other books by Matthew Dooley are available at better brick and mortar and online book stores (including Amazon). Ask your local comic shop if they can order his books or go to: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/aristotles-cuttlefish-matthew-dooley/1146844670 https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/448291/aristotles-cuttlefish-by-dooley-matthew/9781787333956 Subscribe to Mike's Comic Shop Roadshow on your podcast apps and check out episode 24: "ACE Comics and Flake" for a detailed discussion about Flake.

After Canada's shocking Conservative defeat, Dr. Mike Hart sits down with The Rogue Lawyer, Phillip Millar to dissect what went wrong, who's to blame, and how to fix our cultural crisis. They kick things off by unpacking the election results - how a lead slipped away, why young people seem so checked out, and what it says about where Canada's headed. They also talk about how our military's falling apart, why young men are lost, and how people like Andrew Tate are filling the gap left by weak leadership and even weaker culture. Lastly, they dig into the safe supply drug programs, the rise of fentanyl in small towns, and the digital distractions that keep everyone arguing about nonsense while the country burns. Guest Bio and Links: The Rogue Lawyer, Phillip Millar is one of Canada's top trial lawyers, former combat officer and business coach that tells it like it is. He offers an unfiltered view on institutional failures, national security, and legal reform. He engages in thought leadership via his Substack newsletter and speaks frequently on issues of national identity, sovereignty, and justice.

We humans have a hard time becoming invisible. For better or worse, we're basically stuck with the skin and body we have; we're pretty fixed in our color, our shape, our overall appearance. And so we're fascinated by creatures that aren't—creatures that morph to meet the moment, that can functionally disappear, that can shape-shift on a dime. And no creatures are more skilled, more astonishing, more bedazzling in their abilities to do this kind of thing than the cephalopods. But how do they do this exactly? What's going on in their skin? What's going on under their skin? And what's going on in their brains that makes this all possible? My guest today is Dr. Tessa Montague. Tessa is a neuroscientist in the Axel Lab at Columbia University; she studies the brain and behavior of the dwarf cuttlefish, with a special focus on the biology of their dynamic skin behaviors. Here, Tessa and I talk about how cuttlefish and other cephalopods exhibit the most impressive camouflaging abilities on the planet. We discuss how they change their skin's appearance with remarkable speed and fidelity—and not just when trying to blend in, but also when hunting, courting, fighting, and more. We talk about whether these behaviors are flexible and whether they're voluntary. We linger on the cruel irony that cuttlefish seem to be colorblind. We talk about the idea that a cephalopod's skin is kind of a window into their brain. We lay out the cells and organs in the cephalopod skin the make these behaviors possible—especially the tiny pigment-bearing structures called "chromatophores." And of course we also dive deep into the cephalopod brain and the its sometimes bizarre and poorly understood structures. Excited to share it with you friends—I think you'll enjoy it. Without further ado, here's my chat with Dr. Tessa Montague.   A transcript of this episode will be posted soon.   Notes and links 3:00 – For more on Dr. Montague's recent expeditions to the Philippines, including photos, see here. 7:30 – Dr. Montague has published two recent reviews of dynamic skin behaviors in cephalopods—see here and here.

As a kid, Sabrina Imbler loved the ocean. They'd swim and snorkel, following around parrotfish in the water. Later, they tried to learn everything they could about the brightly-colored tropical fish – how some create a mucus cocoon at night to protect it from parasites, or how they help keep coral reefs healthy.As they got older, their fascination with sea creatures only grew. Imbler released a collection of essays in 2022 called How Far The Light Reaches: A Life In Ten Sea Creatures. Each chapter focuses on a different marine species – from yeti crabs near hydrothermal vents in the deep sea to the morphing abilities of cuttlefish. Often, these creatures act as a mirror for Imbler to explore parts of their own identity.Want more on the wonders of the deep sea? Email us at shortwave@npr.org.

Welcome to Episode 107! This is part 2 in a 2-part series on the cephalopods. Today we will explore the evolutionary history of the coleoids, a "recent" branch of cephalopod. We will also examine their alien anatomy, their unusual life cycle, and their shockingly sophisticated intelligence. 

In today's episode, Microsoft reveals the "Dirty Stream" attack impacting Android apps, recognizing vulnerabilities in apps with over four billion installations like Xiaomi's File Manager and WPS Office. Meanwhile, a new SOHO router malware named Cuttlefish targets cloud accounts and enterprise resources, allowing criminals to steal credentials and establish persistent access to cloud ecosystems. Law enforcement shuts down 12 fraudulent call centers in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, and Lebanon, arresting 21 suspects and preventing thousands of scam calls. Find more information using these URLs: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/microsoft-warns-of-dirty-stream-attack-impacting-android-apps/, https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2024/05/02/cuttlefish-soho-routers/, https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/police-shuts-down-12-fraud-call-centres-arrests-21-suspects/ tags: Dirty Stream attack, Microsoft, Android apps, developers, Cuttlefish, malware, SOHO routers, cybercriminals, law enforcement, call centers, fraud, apprehended search phrases: Preventing Dirty Stream attack in Android apps Cuttlefish malware and SOHO routers Protect devices from Cuttlefish malware Law enforcement crackdown on fraudulent call centers Stopping fraudulent calls in Europe Cybersecurity measures against malware attacks Securing Android apps from malicious attacks Preventing data theft in Android applications Law enforcement actions against cybercrime Measures to apprehend cybercriminals May3 Law enforcement officials in Europe shut down 12 call centers that were behind thousands of daily scam calls. They apprehended 21 individuals and seized assets of over 1 million euros. How will this affect the amount of spam calls you get on a day to day basis? The Cuttlefish Malware is infiltrating SOHO routers and stealing account credentials for cloud services. Creating a potential gateway. For cybercriminals into company resources. If you work from home,. How can you prevent this malware from expanding throughout your own network? And finally, the dirty stream attack discovered by Microsoft poses a threat to Android apps by allowing malicious apps to overwrite files in other applications home directories. How can Android developers prevent this type of attack? You're listening to The Daily Decrypt. Law enforcement conducted coordinated raids in Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Lebanon. Resulting in the closure of 12 fraudulent call centers responsible for thousands of scam calls each day. German authorities, alongside international counterparts, arrested 21 individuals and seized approximately 1 million euros worth of evidence, including data carriers, documents, and cash. This operation was named Operation Pandora, and it targeted a criminal network. engaged in various fraudulent activities, but most notably fake police calls, investment fraud, and romance scams. There have been over 28, 000 fraudulent calls that have been traced back to the arrested suspects, all within a 48 hour time frame, which just highlights the scale of this criminal enterprise. so this whole project started back in december of 2023 When someone came into a bank and attempted to withdraw 100, 000 euros. The bank teller was slightly suspicious, so they reported it to the actual police, and it was later discovered that the individual attempting to withdraw that money was involved in a fake police officer scam. From there, more than a hundred German investigators got down to work and intercepted and monitored conversations in real time. They secured over 1. 3 million conversations and blocked 80 percent of all financial fraud attempts, which they claim could have led to damages of up to 10 million euros. So I'm sure we all hate scam calls just as much as I do, but I often forget the motives behind these scam calls are to cheat you out of money, usually. It's become so easy to just Grab a list of numbers and create robot calls to just see who bites. But this is proof that there is a lot of money out there to be had by just calling people and asking for Certain things or pretending to be a police officer and saying well, I can actually let you go for a thousand bucks which has actually happened to me before or Unpaid fines at the courts things that generally have confusion around them and Involve money and urgency people are more likely to pay But I don't know what this guy was getting into with a hundred thousand euros. He must have been really rich or something I'm not sure but I'm Glad this is getting more and more attention. Because I would love for scam calls to be a thing of the past. Alright, we're back with some more news on SOHO routers. And if you don't remember what that is, that stands for small home Nope. I can never get it right. That stands for small office, home office. Which is where I work every day. So I'm going to be paying particular attention to this one. But criminals are utilizing a new malware. called Cuttlefish to target SOHO routers to steal account credentials for various cloud based services like AWS, Cloudflare, and Docker, just to name a few. And like I had mentioned, if you're working from home like I do, your router is the gateway to your office or whatever resources you need to access to get the work done. And what this malware will essentially do is listen for any time you're entering in credentials to a cloud service, most likely part of your company's infrastructure and they're going to harvest those credentials and use them against you or against the company. Up until this point, the only SOHO vulnerabilities we were reporting on was botnets and Being part of something that doesn't particularly affect your data, . It was mostly being used for the resources offered by the router, but attackers got smart and they're starting to realize that double edged sword, right? They have access to the router, they might as well leverage the data that's flowing through it, as well as Holding onto it for the potential of creating a botnet or DDOSing one of their targets. And the article by HelpNet Security linked in our show notes will have some more specifics about how the attack works and how you can prevent it. So, I highly encourage you to check that out. But, if you're a SOHO router user, which you likely are to some degree, Make sure you change the password on your router. Don't just use the one that came with it. Go in there, set it up, store it in a password manager for later. And a lot of these SOHO routers make it pretty tough to use persistent storage, so this malware is likely living in RAM or a temporary storage, so if you just restart your router from time to time, it will decrease the odds that this affects you long term. These routers are notoriously bad for security, and leave it up to the consumer almost entirely. So, if you're listening to this, make sure you take this seriously because it is a very easy attack vector. Especially if your router is public facing, like has an open port to the internet. Which I'd highly recommend once you change your password, go check to make sure that you can't access your router from the internet. And finally, Microsoft has identified a new attack known as DirtyStream that targets Android apps, allowing malicious apps to overwrite files in another app's home directory, potentially leading to code execution and data theft. This vulnerability stems from improper use of Android's content provider system, which manages access to shared datasets among different apps. And this system is supposed to incorporate security measures like data isolation or path validation to keep each app sort of self contained, kind of like a virtual machine or a docker instance so that it's really hard for other apps to talk to each other. Because in most cases, they shouldn't need to. So incorrect implementations of Custom intents, messaging objects facilitating communication between app components, can bypass these security measures, tricking apps into executing or storing files from malicious sources. Now if you've made it this far in the episode, I likely don't have to explain to you more use cases for this vulnerability or why it's bad. But the Google Play Store can be a little bit more Wild Wild West y than the Apple App Store. it's much more common for Android users to download apps they found on the internet that weren't through the Play Store. Which leads to these malicious apps being now able to communicate with your bank app, or your social media app, or your password manager, etc. Like, all these things that should not be touched by other apps. Now, for the end users, there's not much you can do other than making sure your apps are up to date and you're not downloading sketchy apps for any reason from unknown developers or anything. And keep listening to the Daily Decrypt for your updates. It looks like Google has added a section to their risks documentation for Android app developers that outlines this risk. But nothing has been done about it so far. So I'm sure Google will get on this and push out a fix, so remember to make sure your device stays up to date so you can receive that security patch.

The ocean that is a realm teeming with mysteries and marvels. Today we have the immense pleasure of hosting Smithsonian Associate Danna Staaf, a renowned marine biologist and a celebrated author. Danna Staaf will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up, please check out our website for more information, but we have Danna Staaf today. Danna's passion for the ocean began at the tender age of ten and has since blossomed into a lifelong quest to unravel the secrets of the deep. Her expertise? The enigmatic and extraordinary cephalopods - creatures like octopuses, squids, and cuttlefish, whose very existence challenges our understanding of life under the sea. These beings are not just fascinating; they are a testament to the incredible adaptability and intelligence of marine life. With their boneless bodies, multiple hearts, and the ability to change color and shape, cephalopods are nature's shapeshifters. But it's not just their physical attributes that are astonishing. Their problem-solving skills and curiosity mirror our own cognitive abilities, bridging a gap over 500 million years of evolutionary divergence. In our time with Danna Staaf today, we'll explore all that, including the evolution of these creatures, debunk myths, and uncover the truth behind their nine brains and blue blood. We'll understand their pivotal role in marine ecosystems and even touch upon their influence in the realm of science fiction. So, dear listeners, join us on this extraordinary journey as we dive into the depths of cephalopod evolution and discover what these incredible creatures can teach us about life, intelligence, and the mysteries of the natural world. Stay tuned for an episode that promises to be as enlightening as it is enthralling.

Hongyi Wang, a Senior Researcher at the Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University, joins us. His research is in the intersection of systems and machine learning. He discussed his research paper, Cuttlefish: Low-Rank Model Training without All the Tuning, on today's show. Hogyi started by sharing his thoughts on whether developers need to learn how to fine-tune models. He then spoke about the need to optimize the training of ML models, especially as these models grow bigger. He discussed how data centers have the hardware to train these large models but not the community. He then spoke about the Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRa) technique and where it is used. Hongyi discussed the Cuttlefish model and how it edges LoRa. He shared the use cases of Cattlefish and who should use it. Rounding up, he gave his advice on how people can get into the machine learning field. He also shared his future research ideas.

Ellen & special guest, marine biologist and artist Meg Mindlin, review the mind-blowing rogues of the sea: cuttlefish! We discuss RNA editing, cephalopod brains, how cuttlefish are able to change their skin in the blink of an eye, use deception and disguise to win over mates, and how connecting with nature inspires art and innovation that makes the whole world a better place.Links:See Meg's art and science at their website!Follow Meg on TikTok and Instagram!For more information about us & our podcast, head over to our website!Follow Just the Zoo of Us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & Discord!Follow Ellen on TikTok!
