Podcasts about farcical

“Farcical, ridiculous and not suitable for F1.” It turns out the crazy, topsy-turvy race we expected… didn't happen. The mandatory two-stop race threw up some baffling decisions up and down the grid, as we're still left wondering if F1 even works at Monaco anymore.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. GDP: 7/10 Or should that be 0.7? It's a bigger number than they thought and an indication that we have finally turned the corner. The Covid loan deadline: 3/10 A sad, sad, sad reminder of why the 0.7% in GDP has taken so long to get here. Close to $1 billion owed and what do you reckon the chances of it all coming back are? Whangarei and their fluoride meeting: 2/10 Read the Spinoff blow by blow account. It's gold, unless you live there and pay for it. Then it's farcical. The wars: 3/10 Dreadful week. The Trump call to Putin was a joke and the ceasefire fell to bits. Ted Lasso: 8/10 Another series when they said there wasn't another series. F1: 7/10 New Zealand ratings show half a million of us watched. That would make it the most watched programme of the week, or close to it.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with ToI's senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur. At a Cairo summit of Arab leaders on Tuesday, a consensus of states adopted an Egyptian reconstruction plan for Gaza that would cost $53 billion and avoid displacing Palestinians from the enclave -- in contrast to US President Donald Trump’s “Middle East Riviera” vision. The over 100-page “Early Recovery, Reconstruction, Development of Gaza” plan envisions a Gaza Administration Committee, made up of independent technocrats, to manage an initial six-month transitional phase. It also urges elections in all Palestinian areas within a year, if conditions support such a move. The rub? The plan doesn’t explicitly tackle the issue of Hamas and how the terror group will be disarming -- if at all. It also pushes for a Palestinian state before addressing any of the armed Palestinian factions. Rettig Gur dissects elements of the plan and weighs in on its seriousness. And so this week, we ask Haviv Rettig Gur, what matters now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. This episode was produced by the Pod-Waves.

Futureproof Clare claims that the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP, has become a farce, citing that global emissions only having increased since its inception in 1995. The annual climate summit got underway this week with politicians, business leaders and campaigners from around the world gathering in the Azerbaijani capital Baku. The perceived hypocrisy of Baku's hosting of the conference has also been raised, with oil and gas exports accounting for almost half of Azerbaijan's state budget, with similar concerns raised when the UAE played host in 2023. Scariff-based Futureproof Clare spokesperson, Sinead Sheehan, believes that climate action groups have lost faith in COP's ability to tackle the climate crisis.

A North Clare healthcare campaigner has lambasted TDs for their "farcical" decision to vote against noting the final Oireachtas report on assisted dying. The Dáil has agreed to note the final report of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying which seeks to legalise assisted dying in restricted circumstances, with 73 deputies voted in favour and 59 against. The note won't have any material effect on Irish law as a bill would have to be passed by the Oireachtas and signed by the President to make its way into legislation. Lahinch-based Patient Advocate for the Programme Improvement Board of HSE Midwest, John Wall, says given that noting the report doesn't immediately impact legislation, voting against it is a cynical move.

Ian Ferguson MBE is New Zealand's second most successful Olympian. He won four Olympic gold medals competing in K1, K2, and K4 kayak events, and attended five Summer Olympics between 1976 and 1992. He also won two canoe sprint world championship titles. With Canoe Racing New Zealand defending the decision to have a C2 500m crew at the Paris Olympics, after the boat finished almost a minute adrift of the rest of the field Simon Barnett and James Daniels sought Ian Ferguson's opinion on the matter. In scenes that reminded of ‘Eric the Eel' at the Sydney Olympics, or ‘Eddie the Eagle' at the Winter Games of 1988, the Kiwi combination of Max Brown and Grant Clancy – who have only been learning the discipline for three months – trailed the field by more than 50m at the finish. and were still on the course when other crews were heading back to the jetty. While their efforts attracted generous, sympathetic applause in the grandstands, it also raised some eyebrows with fans and media alike at the venue.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Stuxnet, not Skynet: Humanity's disempowerment by AI, published by Roko on November 4, 2023 on LessWrong. Several high-profile AI skeptics and fellow travelers have recently raised the objection that it is inconceivable that a hostile AGI or smarter than human intelligence could end the human race. Some quotes from earlier this year: Scott Aaronson: The causal story that starts with a GPT-5 or GPT-4.5 training run, and ends with the sudden death of my children and of all carbon-based life, still has a few too many gaps for my aging, inadequate brain to fill in Michael Shermer: Halting AI is ridiculous. I have read the AI doomsayer lit & don't see a pathway from AI to extinction, civ termination or anything remotely like absurd scenarios like an AI turning us all into paperclips (the so-called alignment problem) Noah Smith: why aren't ChatGPT, Bing, and their ilk going to end humanity? Well, because there's actually just no plausible mechanism by which they could bring about that outcome. ... There is no plausible mechanism for LLMs to end humanity "Just turn the computer off, bro" The gist of these objections to the case for AI risks is that AI systems as we see them today are merely computer programs, and in our everyday experience computers are not dangerous, and certainly not dangerous to the point of bringing about the end of the world. People who first encounter this debate are very focused on the fact that computers don't have arms and legs so they can't hurt us. There are responses to these criticisms that center around advanced, "magical" technologies like nanotechnology and AIs paying humans to mix together cocktails of proteins to make a DNA-based nanoassembler or something. But I think those responses are probably wrong, because you don't actually need "magical" technologies to end the world. Fairly straightforward advances in mundane weapons like drones, cyberweapons, bioweapons and robots are sufficient to kill people en masse, and the real danger is AI strategists that are able to deploy lots of these mundane weapons and execute a global coup d'etat against humanity. In short, our defeat by the coming machine empire will not only be nonmagical and legible, it will be downright boring. Farcical, even. Ignominious Defeat Lopsided military conflicts are boring. The Conquistadors didn't do anything magical to defeat the Aztecs, actually. They had a big advantage in disease resistance and in military tech like gunpowder and steel, but everything they did was fundamentally normal - attacks, sieges, etc. They had a few sizeable advantages, and that was enough to collapse the relatively delicate geopolitical balance that the Aztecs were sitting on top of. Similarly, humans have killed 80% of all chimps in about a century and they are now critically endangered. But we didn't need to drop an atom bomb or something really impressive to achieve that effect. The biggest threats to the chimpanzee are habitat destruction, poaching, and disease - i.e. we (humans) are successfully exterminating chimps even though it is actually illegal to kill chimps by human law! We are killing them without even trying, in really boring ways, without really expending any effort. Once you have technology for making optimizing systems that are smarter than human (by a lot), the threshold that those systems have to beat is beating the human-aligned superorganisms we currently have, like our governments, NGOs and militaries. Once those human superorganisms are defeated, individual humans will present almost no resistance. This is the disempowerment of humanity. But what is a plausible scenario where we go from here (weak AGI systems under development) to there (the disempowerment of humanity)? Let's start the scenario with a strategically aware, agentic misaligned superhuman AGI that wants...

This week's episode of The Race IndyCar Podcast wraps up all the awards, battles and fights from the IndyCar season finale at Laguna Seca, with plenty to discuss on and off the track.With JR Hildebrand alongside host Jack Benyon, the pair discuss the contentious penalties and how they perhaps reflect a wider problem with officiating this year, with eventual winner Scott Dixon's shunt with Rinus VeeKay and Colton Herta's rocket start being used as case studies.There's also a look at whether this was a good race or not, as it descended into a farcical mess at times but also delivered the kind of unpredictability a Formula 1 fan could only dream of. There's also the manufacturers' championship, Rookie of the Year, Indy NXT title, Leaders' Circle ‘winner' and the latest from the silly season to get into.Finally, the pair describe where the introduction of the hybrid unit for IndyCar is, with some whisperings that getting it ready for 2024 is going to be a struggle for the series.Follow The Race on Instagram, Twitter and FacebookCheck out our latest videos on YouTubeDownload our app on iOS or AndroidSend us an email via podcasts@the-race.com Hosted on Acast.

Join us as we explore the crossroads of art and politics with the illustrious Tony Branco, whose thought-provoking cartoons have graced the pages of numerous outlets across the country. Listen in as Tony walks us through his journey, sharing his experiences from his time in the military and how the armed forces have evolved since his service. We delve into topics that extend beyond the surface, exploring the impact of alternative lifestyles on the military and so much more.Our conversation takes a historical turn as we scrutinize the deep-seated influence of radical Marxist movements on the Obama administration and the escalating racial tensions they have sparked. We investigate the strategies the left uses to capitalize on current events, highlighting the concerning role of Democrats in enabling these tactics. Don't miss out on our discussion on the underhanded methods left-wingers and anti-Trumpers use to manipulate scientific data and stoke fear, the incredible achievements of President Trump in the face of sabotage, and the rampant corruption that has prevailed since the Obama administration.In the final stretch of our engaging dialogue, Tony and I examine the social agenda being advanced by the Biden administration within the military, the consequences of the 'Bricks' initiative, and the profound shift in US politics that the Obama administration facilitated. We also touch on the importance of staying informed and open-minded, especially when confronted with theories that might seem conspiratorial at first glance.
