After over a year of silence, Starfield's newest wave of content is here. The Dukes got to see things running behind the scenes and get a feel for Bethesda's new vision for the sci-fi RPG. It appears they're gearing up for more incremental updates rather than swinging in with a massive expansion pack each year. Between the Free Lanes update, Terran Armada, and the PlayStation 5 version, there's much for us to go over. Perhaps more of the hot button topic is what is transpiring within AI. This time, it arrives in the form of DLSS 5 and to say there was backlash would be an understatement. The sizzle reel that showed off this new technology on the likes of Starfield, Hogwarts Legacy, Resident Evil Requiem, and the like was openly mocked, reaching beyond the games industry. In fairness, some are hopeful that this technology could lead to better looking, cheaper games. Can it? Well, pull up a chair, friend. We have much to discuss.

In this episode, Stewart Alsop III sits down with Tom Faye — experimenter, author of The 90 Day Client Acquisition Code, and founder of Carbon Credits Marketplace — to talk about solar energy, off-grid living, and the solarpunk vision of a technology-powered utopia. They cover everything from perovskite solar cells and portable container-based solar systems, to carbon credits, ESG investing, and blockchain verification of clean energy output. The conversation also winds through AI training data, business automation, and the data labeling industry before circling back to some bigger questions about human nature, geopolitics, and what genuine self-reliance looks like in 2025. You can find Tom and his work at Carbon Credits Marketplace on LinkedIn and his energy consumption data visualization is also shared there. His book The 90 Day Client Acquisition Code is available for those looking to explore business automation further.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Tom Fay and his work01:03 Understanding Solar Punk: Utopian Tech and Culture02:15 Current State of Solar Technology and Storage03:45 Living Off-Grid: Solar, Batteries, and Remote Work06:11 Solar Energy in Africa: Challenges and Opportunities12:21 Powering Communities with Mobile Solar Solutions16:50 The Vision of Solar Punk: Self-Sufficient Communities22:54 Existing Examples: Great Barrier Island and Others26:06 Overfishing, Environmental Challenges, and Technological Solutions28:34 Using Technology to Address Second-Order Environmental Problems36:35 Data, AI, and the Future of Energy Management43:13 Carbon Credits, Blockchain, and ESG Reporting45:27 The Geopolitics of Green Energy and Resource Control46:53 How to Connect with Tom Fay and Future ProjectsKey InsightsSolarpunk represents a genuine near-future possibility, not just an aesthetic. As solar panels and lithium batteries become cheaper and more efficient, the vision of abundant, decentralized clean energy is becoming a practical reality rather than a utopian fantasy.Perovskite solar cells are pushing efficiency roughly 22% beyond conventional panels, and the bigger revolution happening right now is on the storage side — cheaper, higher-capacity batteries are what will truly unlock solar's potential at scale.Africa may leapfrog the West on solar adoption, just as it leapfrogged landlines with mobile phones. People in energy-scarce countries viscerally understand the value of clean power in a way that people in the West, accustomed to reliable grids, simply don't.Portable solar container units — self-contained, deployable systems — already exist and are making off-grid energy viable for farms, mines, remote lodges, and even data centers, with a roughly five-to-one solar-to-load footprint required.Carbon credits generated from verified solar output, tracked via IoT smart meters and stamped on blockchain, represent a long-term business opportunity that survives political shifts because institutional investors and banks operate on independent ESG mandates.AI training data is a present and real economic opportunity, but a shrinking one. The window for humans — especially lawyers, scientists, and specialists — to get paid for their expertise is closing fast as labs pivot toward synthetic data generation.True self-reliance comes down to four things: food, water, power, and transportation. With solar and Starlink, the gap between remote wilderness and connected civilization has essentially collapsed — something unimaginable even a generation ago.

Todo el mundo habla del MacBook Neo. Pero casi nadie está hablando de lo que realmente importa. No es solo que cueste 599 dólares. No es solo que corra Cyberpunk 2077. Es que para entender por qué funciona como funciona, tienes que meterte dentro del chip. Y lo que hay ahí dentro cambia la forma en que entiendes cualquier ordenador, no solo los de Apple. En este episodio desmantelamos tres de las mentiras más repetidas sobre el Neo: la del "chip de móvil", la de "solo 8GB de RAM" y la de que el scheduler de Apple usa inteligencia artificial para gestionar los núcleos (spoiler: no es exactamente así, y la realidad es más interesante). También te contamos cómo Intel lleva años haciendo algo parecido con machine learning de hardware, qué hace AMD al respecto y por qué en el M5 Pro y M5 Max Apple acaba de cambiar las reglas con una arquitectura de tres tipos de núcleos que nadie esperaba. Aprenderás qué es el Clutch Scheduler de XNU, cómo funciona Grand Central Dispatch de verdad, qué es el Media Engine y por qué sin él la conversación sobre rendimiento en vídeo no tiene ningún sentido. Todo explicado sin dar nada por sabido, pero sin esconder nada técnico. Si desarrollas para Apple, si estás pensando en comprar un Mac, o si simplemente quieres entender la tecnología que usas cada día mejor de lo que te la han explicado hasta ahora, este episodio es para ti. ─────────────────────────────────────

Todays Guest Monty Nero brings us his Cyberpunk tale Chrome Roses from across the pond in Scotland. A world aptly named the Tract where society was broken in half by a pandemic, no law enforcement, decisions are made by social media polls and ratings, physical touch has abandoned for Husks-an advance way of feeling because of fear from the outside world. A rogue detective named Kramm freelances his way at solving a murder although solving a crime in this world is transactional and monetary. Gig economies and Digital Identity are the way. Monty provides the artwork of this vast world as well detailing characters where some have replaced their flesh to become something of a total mechanism, body and soul.Written, Artwork, and Lettered by Monty NeroSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-faqs-project-hosted-by-james-grandmaster-faqs-boyce/donations

Reporting from this past week indicates Sony is abandoning its push to publish more games on PC, a reversal from a six-ish year old initiative that frankly bore little fruit outside of Helldivers 2. And let's be real: Though we were vocal advocates of this approach on the show, a vast majority of the PlayStation fanbase was decidedly not on board. Sony has apparently determined that it's a waste of time to further pursue this path, and that doing so could ultimately eat into their console ecosystem in unacceptable ways. Thus, it's time for many of you to celebrate, as we consider the reasons behind this dramatic course-correction. Plus: Rumors are circulating that Cory Barlog's next game is a God of War spin-off, Bluepoint was apparently eager to work on a Bloodborne remake before behing unceremoniously shut down, Starfield is finally coming to PlayStation 5 this April, Marathon has been mysteriously rated by the ESRB for launch on PlayStation 4, embattled free-to-play shooter Highguard is officially shutting down, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Is Sony investing enough into games for kids? In such a hostile environment, could troubled products like No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk 2077 have launched and turned things around today? Why are some games' Trophies published, even if they go unreleased? Will Dustin continue to compile a collection of pictures of complete strangers on his refrigerator?

Buddhist sutras tell of a distant future, where the teachings of the Buddha we know have been entirely forgotten. This future city, ruled by a benevolent, wise king, is a utopia, where people want for nothing and live for over 80,000 years. But even this paradise is still in need of a teaching, that nothing lasts forever.This is the world of the future Buddha Maitreya, also known as Metteyya, the Buddha of loving kindness. Exploring Buddhist texts like the Descending Birth of Maitreya Sutra, the Lion's Roar of Maitreya Sutra, and the Gandavyuha Sutra, we find timeless wisdom, a warning against false prophets, and a dramatic vision of the infinite potential of loving kindness.Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”Support the channel by subscribing, liking, and commenting to join the conversation!Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mythosandlogos00:00 Introduction00:10 Bodhisattva Maitreya, Indian Museum, Kolkata00:26 Gameplay from Cyberpunk 2077 by CD Projekt Red01:08 Leaves from a Gandavyuha Manuscript, Asia Society, New York, Rockefeller Collection01:28 The Future Age01:39 Buddhas of the Three Generation by Ding Guanpeng02:11 Buddha Teaching the Ramaga Sutra 佛說羅摩伽經 by Shengjian 聖堅02:34 Leaves from a Gandavyuha Manuscript, Asia Society, New York, Rockefeller Collection03:20 Minimundus Klagenfurt, Borobudur Tempel Magelang, Detail, Schubbay, Creative Commons03:43 Mucailnda Protects the Buddha from the Rain, at Wat Olak Madu, Kedah, Photo Dharma from Sadao, Thailand, Creative Commons03:56 Universal Monarch, Phanigiri, Telangana, Anandajoti Bhikkhu, Creative Commons04:22 Clothed statues of the Buddha in the ruined Khmer Hindu temple of Wat Phou, Champasak, Laos, Basile Morin, Creative Commons04:43 Maitreya, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney05:26 Miniature Votive Stupa, Cleveland Museum of Art05:38 The Buddha Amitabha with the Eight Great Bodhisattvas, The Asian Museum, San Francisco06:08 The Lion's Roar06:46 Maitreya Buddha Triad, Gyeongju Art Museum07:22 Hungry Ghosts Scroll, Kyoto National Museum08:30 Maitreya's Tower08:52 The Mong Xuanzang, Tokyo National Museum09:06 The Eighteen Arhats Traversing the Sea, The Museum of Chinese Art and Ethnography, Parma09:50 The Transmission of the Teachings of the Gelugpa Sect, The Asian Art Museum, San Francisco10:00 Seven Leaves from a Manuscript of the Gandavyuha Sutra, Cleveland Museum of Art10:16 View of Borobudur, Indonesia, Anandajoti Bhikkhu, Creative Commons10:24 Maitreya, Museum of Oriental Art, Torino10:41 Maitreya Makes a Gift of a Throne, Borobudur, Anandajoti Bhikkhu, Photo Dharma from Sadao, Thailand, Creative Commons10:52 Maitreya Makes a Gift of a Woman, Borobudur, Anandajoti Bhikkhu, Photo Dharma from Sadao, Thailand, Creative Commons10:58 Stone Buddhas of Yonghwasa Temple, Cheongju, Cheongju Early Printing Museum11:11 Sudhana's Pilgrimage to Fifty Five Spiritual Teachers as Described in the Flower Garland Sutra, Nara National Museum11:19 Conclusion: Nothing Lasts Forever.

SFW | Emotional Intimacy | Slowburn Trust | Android Repair Scene She comes back broken but not just in body. The repairs were supposed to make her better. Cleaner. Sharper. But what they took can't be replaced. Sixteen days gone. No warning. No goodbye. And now she's back and fumbling through corrupted memories, quiet guilt, and something that feels suspiciously like longing. Your workshop is still the only place that feels real. And your hands... They're still the only ones that know how to reach her. She doesn't sound like herself anymore. But if anyone can find her again beneath the upgrades, it's you. TW: PTSD-adjacent memory disruption, emotional numbness, medicalized self-concept, subtle trauma-coded language, societal corruption PS: Hey lovely moonkips~ Quick behind-the-scenes note! Originally, this SynthSkin installment was going to include a visual element with listener dialogue on-screen for a more interactive feel. I was experimenting with ways to make it even more immersive and give you a stronger presence in the world. But, real talk, my amazing editor is still learning some of the new tools I asked him to try for video editing something else for me, and instead of holding this story hostage while we figure it out, I decided to keep it simple and release this one in the MoonSilk immersive style we've been doing for more immersion. So if you notice it's a little different from what I hinted at before, that's why. Sometimes perfection gets in the way of presence and I'd rather share the heartbeat now than wait for polish later, and invariably get distracted by another hot storyline in the meantime - WHICH HAPPENS WAY MORE OFTEN THAN I LIKE TO ADMIT. ADHD is a helluva drug, lol.

In today's Daily Fix:An inocuous social media post from developer Iron Galaxy sent Fallout fans into overdrive when everyone assumed the post was teasing a Fallout: New Vegas remaster. Iron Galaxy immediately denied anything of the sort, explaining that the Fallout image they used was one they have used in internal meetings for years, and they did not intend to tease work on a Fallout game. In other news, a new Game of Thrones project is "firmly' in development at Warner Bros.—this one a movie potentially featuring a character that has yet to appear in any of the WB-produced shows. And finally, Xbox Game Pass Wave 1 titles for March have been announced, with Cyberpunk 2077 headlining.

Want some visual ambience? Well — "Buckle your seatbelt, Dorothy, 'cause Kansas is going bye-bye." And we're back in the movie world for this visual ambience. The 1999 sci fi/ neo noir classic the Matrix. BTW — has there been another actor so tormented by **** lines in movies like Joe Pantoliano? ("You're gonna' be retired soon like Michael Jordan!!" — that was Matrix right?)Digital rain made in after effects, The digital green Matrix text melted a lot of graphic designer brains in the 90s... So if you know a Gen X designer — that person has at least attempted the Matrix text effect several times.

Photo by Marc-Olivier Jodoin on Unsplash Published 2 March 2026 e545 with Andy and Michael – Get to talk about mostly non-AI topics this week, as we look at a cool kickstarter, Titan, that is building out a futuristic gauntlet. Do you want a forearm mounted drone? Is so, go check it out, along with the opportunity for community modules. Very cool! We then dip back into the world of AR and VR, as people speculate how Apple’s rumored AR glasses may benefit from the recent acquisition of Q.AI. We spend some time thinking of how a new App can help identify if you are around someone who has smart glasses on. (Even if Michael get’s the TV show reference wrong – and after an exhaustive search he can’t find the right one). We also discuss Disney’s deal to relaunch the Muppets in VR Ride as a VR app. Moving on to some cool artistic visions we look at both video and photographic way of seeing the world. Before moving back to tech with amazing upgrades to robots on Mars. Millions of miles away NASA is repurposing a chip on a robotic helicopter to improve the location information of a rover. While closer to home, robots are fixing potholes. We end with a story about a fellow geek accidentally hacking over 7,000 home based vacuum robots.

In 1995, a film predicted POV recording technology, VR experiences you can buy on the black market, deepfake manipulation, police brutality caught on camera, and a society addicted to experiencing other people's lives through a screen. It starred Ralph Fiennes, Angela Bassett, and was written by James Cameron. Almost nobody saw it.   Strange Days bombed at the box office, nearly destroyed Kathryn Bigelow's career, and has been virtually impossible to find ever since, as right now no streaming service carries it. But everything it warned us about has come true, and somehow the reality is worse than the fiction.   MonteCristo, Thorin, and Richard Lewis make the case for why this is one of the most important sci-fi films ever made. We get into the SQUID tech that directly inspired Cyberpunk 2077's Braindances, the darkest plot device in sci-fi, Ralph Fiennes as the perfect cyberpunk noir anti-hero, Angela Bassett's tragically wasted career as an action star, the Rodney King and OJ parallels baked into the script, and a long conversation about how AI, social media, and surveillance culture have made this film more relevant than ever.   Roger Ebert gave it 4 stars in 1995 and called it a future cult classic. He was right. Again.   Control Body Odor ANYWHERE with Mando and get 20% off + free shipping with promo code FOURPLAY at https://shopmando.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
