Podcasts about Deus ex machina

Neste episódio, converso com Cris Almeida, sócio da Deus Ex Machina no Brasil. Uma marca australiana fundada em 2006 que não tem brand guide, não usa influenciadores e mesmo assim tem Brad Pitt, David Beckham e Orlando Bloom como usuários orgânicos. Cris conta como trouxe esse conceito para São Paulo, o que significou construir uma flagship num casarão dos anos 50 durante a pandemia e por que comunidade real cresce mais devagar, mas com raízes que não quebram.

La fine è solo l'inizio. O forse è solo la fine dei numeri a disposizione. Nathan Never 419 "Il tempo degli eroi", scritto da Bepi Vigna, disegnato da Max Bertolini e Sergio Giardo, edito dalla Sergio Bonelli Editore.

We've always assumed that if there IS a God, that God made us. But what if it ends up being the other way around… and we're already further along than we think? Artificial intelligence is now offering moral advice, generating new forms of scripture, even simulating conversations with the divine. For some users, the line between useful tool and spiritual authority is already starting to blur. Why does it feel so natural for us to imagine there's a ghost in the machine? And what happens when the people building AI start to talk and think about their creation in religious terms? On this episode, we'll talk to journalist Sigal Samuel about where AI is showing up in religious spaces and how what it becomes will have major consequences for human agency and how we understand our place in the world. And we'll talk to psychologist Paul Bloom about the quirks of human psychology that make us so prone to see minds, intention, and perhaps even the divine, in the machine. Along the way we'll also ask: Can AI be morally formed? Could it ever have something like its own spiritual yearning? And if it could, what might it mean for us?Sigal Samuel is a senior reporter at Vox, where she covers religion, ethics, and the future of consciousness and AI. Check out her writing in Vox's Future Perfect column and follow her on X or Bluesky.Paul Bloom is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and the author of several books, including Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil and Against Empathy.

This is the First Sunday of Lent, and a new Sermon Series titled “Letters from CELL 92, Lent with Bonhoeffer” from Greenfield Presbyterian Church in Berkley, MI. SCRIPTURE READING: Acts 17:16-31 16 While Paul waited for them in Athens, he was deeply distressed to find that the city was flooded with idols. 17 He began to interact with the Jews and Gentile God-worshippers in the synagogue. He also addressed whoever happened to be in the marketplace each day. 18 Certain Epicurean and Stoic philosophers engaged him in discussion too. Some said, “What an amateur! What's he trying to say?” Others remarked, “He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods.” (They said this because he was preaching the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.) 19 They took him into custody and brought him to the council on Mars Hill. “What is this new teaching? Can we learn what you are talking about? 20 You've told us some strange things and we want to know what they mean.” (21 They said this because all Athenians as well as the foreigners who live in Athens used to spend their time doing nothing but talking about or listening to the newest thing.) 22 Paul stood up in the middle of the council on Mars Hill and said, “People of Athens, I see that you are very religious in every way. 23 As I was walking through town and carefully observing your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: ‘To an unknown God.' What you worship as unknown, I now proclaim to you. 24 God, who made the world and everything in it, is Lord of heaven and earth. He doesn't live in temples made with human hands. 25 Nor is God served by human hands, as though he needed something, since he is the one who gives life, breath, and everything else. 26 From one person God created every human nation to live on the whole earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God made the nations so they would seek him, perhaps even reach out to him and find him. In fact, God isn't far away from any of us. 28 In God we live, move, and exist. As some of your own poets said, ‘We are his offspring.' 29 “Therefore, as God's offspring, we have no need to imagine that the divine being is like a gold, silver, or stone image made by human skill and thought. 30 God overlooks ignorance of these things in times past, but now directs everyone everywhere to change their hearts and lives. 31 This is because God has set a day when he intends to judge the world justly by a man he has appointed. God has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”

Deus ex machina, der Gott aus der Maschine, ist eine Erfindung des Theaters. Der Begriff »bezeichnet ursprünglich das Auftauchen einer Gottheit mit Hilfe einer Bühnenmaschinerie. Heute gilt der Ausdruck auch als eine sprichwörtlich-dramaturgische Bezeichnung für jede durch plötzliche, unmotiviert eintretende Ereignisse, Personen oder außenstehende Mächte bewirkte Lösung eines Konflikts« (Wikipedia). In den klassischen Tragödien der Antike griff gerade dann, wenn ein Konflikt menschlich nicht mehr lösbar war, schlagartig irgendeine Gottheit ein und löste das Problem! Bis heute finden wir dieses Phänomen in Bühnenstücken und Hollywoodstreifen.Ich glaube, dies entspricht einem verbreiteten unzureichenden Bild vom Gott der Bibel. Danach ist Gott nicht für den Alltag da. Den leben wir lieber für uns. Doch wenn die großen Katastrophen eintreten, die Krankheit, die Pleite, der Krieg, der Tod – wenn all diese für uns regelmäßig unlösbaren Probleme auftauchen, dann soll Gott bitteschön auf den Plan treten. Sofort. Dann soll er machen, dass alles gut wird. Und danach? Vielleicht eine Spende, eine Kerze, ein kurzer Dank – aber dann soll er wieder verschwinden. Wer ist frei davon? Doch wenn man so denkt, macht man den allmächtigen Gott zu einem Lückenbüßer. Er soll die krisenbehaftete Lücke füllen, aber nicht in der Mitte meines ganzen Lebens stehen oder dieses gar bestimmen.Doch das ist nicht der Gott der Bibel. Es ist zwar schon erstaunlich, wie oft Gott sich trotz aller Ignoranz von Menschen erbitten lässt und Krisen abwendet. Aber Gott ist ein Gott, der unser Leben füllen will und füllen soll. Denn er hat einen guten Plan für mein ganzes Leben. Ohne ihn gehe ich einen Weg, der nicht gut ist und der letztlich doch noch im Verderben endet.Markus MajonicaDiese und viele weitere Andachten online lesenWeitere Informationen zu »Leben ist mehr« erhalten Sie unter www.lebenistmehr.de

In dieser Folge tauchen Jan und Clemens tief in die Bedeutung der Taufe Jesu ein und hinterfragen das „Vakuum“ der 30 Jahre davor. Wie wird aus einem ledigen Handwerker aus Nazareth plötzlich das „Lamm Gottes“? Die beiden diskutieren: Feministische Exegese: Warum die Taube, der Geist (Ruach) und die Weisheit eigentlich weibliche Symbole für zärtliche Liebe und Fruchtbarkeit sind. Reife statt „Fließbandreligion“: Warum es vielleicht gesund war, dass Jesus erst mit 30 Jahren seinen Auftrag annahm, während wir heute Kinder oft durch Traditionen „pressen“, bevor sie reflektieren können. Politische Sehnsucht: In einer Welt voller „Putins und Trumps“ wächst der Wunsch nach einem starken Retter. Doch das Evangelium bietet keinen „Deus Ex Machina“ mit Schwert, sondern einen normalen Menschen und die „Waffen des Lichts“. Ein „wilder Ritt“ durch Etymologie, persönliche Krisen bei der Konfirmation und die Frage, ob wir Jesus damals überhaupt geglaubt hätten.

Scott recorded this week's special episode live from the 2025 Aspen Security Forum, where he sat down with a panel of top national security journalists—including co-host emeritus Shane Harris of The Atlantic, Mark Goldberg of the Global Dispatches podcast, and Alex Ward of the Wall Street Journal—to talk about some of the issues that have emerged at and around this year's Forum, including:“Putting the Ass in Aspen.” Twenty-four hours before the Aspen Security Forum was set to begin, the Defense Department barred more than a dozen officials who had been publicly set to participate, for months, on the grounds that the Forum promotes “the evils of globalism.” What does this tell us about the Trump administration's relationship to the foreign policy establishment?“Rolling Alone.” While U.S. officials were in short supply at the Forum, foreign officials were not, as foreign ministers and other officials from Europe, Asia, and other corners of the world had a heavy representation on the panels. And while those panels often addressed different topics, at least one common theme tended to emerge across them: the challenges of the new era of major power competition, especially at a moment when the United States seems especially skeptical of traditional alliances and multilateral institutions. What did we learn about the challenges these countries are facing? And what does it mean for the United States' ability to strategically compete?“Deus Ex Machina.” If there is one topic that was represented at almost every panel at this year's Forum, it is the question of Artificial Intelligence — how important it is, what it will do to solve the world's problems, new problems it will cause, and all it will cost to win the race to perfecting it. But is AI really that important? Or does its ubiquity in national security conversation reflect more hype than substance?For object lessons, Shane shared his latest piece for The Atlantic about an old man, a dog, and the CIA's efforts to keep them apart. Scott endorsed the Aspen Security Forum itself and urged those not in attendance to check out Aspen's recordings of the event—as well as the recordings of various side conversations he made, which will be up on the Lawfare Daily feed later this week. Mark recommended his new podcast with Anjali Dayal on the United Nations, To Save Us From Hell, which they release as part of his U.N. Dispatch newsletter. And Alex shared his quest to read a book about each U.S. president, what it's taught him about how weird the presidents are, and the online community that's helping him get through it.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

The legal systems of this era struggled to adapt to these new realities. The Restored Justice Protocols of 2900 allowed victims of crimes to be restored from backup, effectively undoing the crime itself. But this raised questions: if the harm could be undone, had a crime occurred? The infamous Paradox Trials of 2923-2947 attempted to prosecute crimes that had been "uncom­mitted" through temporal manipulation. The final verdict, delivered by the Quantum Supreme Court, declared that justice itself had become a form of deus ex machina; an external imposition of order on a reality that no longer recognized linear causality. The court dissolved itself immediately after this ruling, declaring that in a post-causal universe, judgment itself was an obsolete concept.

Fasting, abstaining from sex, risking the literal wrath of god - today's method actors have nothing on the pioneers of ancient Athenian drama. Following on from our episode about Aeschylus's Oresteia, this episode offers an overview of Greek tragedy and the theater - how it evolved from ritual, what actors and chorus members did on stage, and how an awful lot of the surrounding pageantry reminds our host Rose of the NFL.Want to read a transcript or check out Rose's reading list for this episode?

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 14, 2025 is: deus ex machina • DAY-us-eks-MAH-kih-nuh • noun A deus ex machina is a character or thing that suddenly enters the story in a novel, play, movie, etc., and solves a problem that had previously seemed impossible to solve. // The introduction of a new love interest in the final act was the perfect deus ex machina for the main character's happy ending. See the entry > Examples: "The poultry thieves in Emma provide a particularly humorous example of deus ex machina: the arrival of a poultry thief into the surrounding area (on the penultimate page of the novel, no less) and his theft of Mrs. Weston's turkeys frightens Mr. Woodhouse enough to consent to Emma's marriage and to allow Mr. Knightley to move into Hartfield." — Inger Sigrun Bredkjær Brodey, Jane Austen & the Price of Happiness, 2024 Did you know? The New Latin term deus ex machina is a translation of a Greek phrase and means literally "a god from a machine." Machine, in this case, refers to the crane (yes, crane) that held a god over the stage in ancient Greek and Roman drama. The practice of introducing a god at the end of a play to unravel and resolve the plot dates from at least the 5th century B.C.; Euripides (circa 484-406 B.C.) was one playwright who made frequent use of the device. Since the late 1600s, deus ex machina has been applied in English to unlikely saviors and improbable events in fiction or drama that bring order out of chaos in sudden and surprising ways.

We're back with the last 5 episodes of Talkin' Lost! As we begin our wrap up run of Season 1, we bring it back to one John Locke, and discover that, despite the island magically restoring his ability to walk, that he had one tragic event happen to him after another. Not too many people have their absentee parents con them out of a kidney at almost 50. It's the final countdown as we head towards the end of the first season. Keep tuning in every week for more episodes of #talkinlost

Support as little as $3 a month and have your voice heard!Shirleon joins Melvin to discuss another early M. Night Shyamalan success, Signs! Many consider this another knock-outta-the-park, while others look back and say, “It's all downhill from here.”. Regardless, there's plenty to discuss from this semi-spiritual alien-invasion flick.Topics:(PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 24-minutes discussing how 20% of Americans regularly get their news from influencers rather than old-media institutions, as per the Pew Research Center. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)Shirleon liked the movie, and felt it was easily digested. Melvin, however, felt it was the beginning of the end.Mel Gibson left a lot to be desired even if a few of his scenes were decent.Melvin see's what people love about Signs but feels it's flip-flops between Shyamalan at his best and Shyamalan at his absolute worst.Discussing the usage of doors, doorways, framing, and staging.How a PG-13 rating may have made Signs hugely accessible to filmgoers and families, and how that may have helped make the "Brazilian Birthday Scene" so frightening (...even when it's not that scary).How the ending feels both rushed and sluggish.Recommendations:Vampire Survivors (2022) (Video Game)Arcane (2021) (TV-Series)The Fog (1980) (Movie)MAILBAG: Send questions with your first name and we'll answer them in future episodes!

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. In the flashbacks, we return to Locke's story, which just keeps getting sadder. On the island, things are also not looking great for Locke, as he worries that the magic island is taking away the gift it initially gave him.Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 20, "Do No Harm." Tomorrow, it's Shrinking, season 2, episode 2.

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.​Catherine's library find is a picture book called Edmund Unravels, starring a cute little ball of yarn who likes to take adventures (and has his very own yarn version of helicopter parents).  Mentioned: This Target back-to-school ad.​Terri's random recommendation is a recent edition of her Substack newsletter that lists the many books on her to-be-read list. If you're interested in celebrity memoirs, Hollywood behind-the-scenes stories, and quirky nonfiction, she's got something for you. Mentioned: A Gentleman in Moscow, Erma Bombeck.​In the archives, we discussed car tech for parents (from 2019). In five years, the automotive industry hasn't advanced in the ways that we were hoping for.​Next week's lineup: Lost S1 E19, "Deus Ex Machina," on Tuesday, November 12Shrinking S2 E2, "I Love Pain," on Wednesday, November 13Weekly roundup on Thursday, November 14Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.

THE GREATER GOOD: join your pilots David, Cara, and Robert for their discussion of the next four episode of LOST, season 1: 1x19, "Deus Ex Machina;" 1x20, "Do Not Harm;" 1x21, "The Greater Good;" 1x22, "Born to Run."You can check out some of our older episodes on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-dpEKWvhcZoQ4PLu1HfUg-KXfWwrtnklYou can also check out more of Long Walk Productions' original content here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVrMG74aomWR_WQs7yYT6_g

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. And this was both a Hurley flashback (finally!) and the episode where we met ... the numbers, which were endlessly discussed, analyzed, and debated from here on out. Plus, we now have an Island Grandpa in addition to our Island Papa.Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 19, "Deus Ex Machina." Tomorrow, we dive into season 2 of Shrinking.

Your party probably gets into a lot of sticky, unforeseeable moments, where death or a terrible consequence is on the table. At that moment, you might be tempted to utilize a Deus Ex Machina plot device, saving them from their own mistakes through some person or change that they never expected.

Like most things Euripides wrote, his treatment of the Olympian gods and what they were capable of (and best of all, how that's received by mortals) is absolutely ripe for interpretation. Euripides walked the line of impiety and seemed to have a ball. CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing. Sources: The Masque of Dionysus by Helen P Foley; Isabelle Torrance's Euripides; Mary Lefkowitz' Euripides and the Gods; passages read from Hippolytus and Helen, translated by EP Coleridge; Ion, translated by Cecelia Eaton Luschnig; and Bacchae, translated by T.

Quite often, stories that don't work have more to teach us than the stories that do. Maybe Maria Semple's novel (upon which this film is based), is simply one that's challenging to adapt to the screen. Whatever the case, this move has missed the mark on some basic storytelling principles (it has too many backstory info dumps, a Deus Ex Machina, and weak narrative drive). If you want to understand the impact these things have on a story, and on the reader/viewer, this episode is for you! - V."If exposition is not used properly, it will ruin your story."

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Mark Joseph Stern, senior writer at Slate, to discuss the bombshell rulings that came down at the end of the Supreme Court's most recent term. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine and outside support, the future of a government shutdown, the Supreme Court ethics bill, climate change, labor action, and more theocratic fascism from the right, before diving into the anniversary of the Tusla White Supremacist massacre of a massive Black community, and the Oklahoman Right's ongoing effort to revise history. Mark Joseph Stern then joins as he tackles the rollout of the Supreme Court's most recent session, beginning with moderate cases in June before rapidly dropping vitriolic right-wing decisions right before the July 4th break, effectively helping to bury the disastrous role the Court is continuing to play in US politics. Next, he, Sam, and Emma parse through the individual roles the liberal justices on the Court have assumed, before Stern walks through SCOTUS' recent rejection of Student Debt Cancellation via the HEROES Act, why the Court relied on the Major Questions Doctrine, and whether the Biden Administration's pivot to the Higher Education Act could be successful. After a discussion on 303 Creative v. Elenis, the absurd lack of standing in the case, and how it largely undermines Lawrence v. Texas (Sodomy Law), Emma, Sam, and Mark wrap up the interview by assessing the affirmative action decision, and Clarence Thomas' ultimate decision to limit active diversity to the military. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma dive into the Biden Administration's advancement of war crimes in Ukraine, sending cluster bombs in the face of decades of research to their devastating civilian impact, UPS Teamsters begin assembling the ranks for an upcoming strike, and Donald Trump gets very confused about who absolutely should be in jail and who absolutely shouldn't. Keith from Ashville dives into recent experiences with transphobic in public (and how to deal with them) and Jonuh from Richmond brings up debate tactics online vs. irl. Cody from Denver shares his experiences with the devastating real-world impact of transphobia on individuals and their communities, and inspires a discussion of the absolute need to be a militant advocate for marginalized communities, particularly in the face of escalating political persecution and bad faith attempts to justify them.
