In which … well, Wembley finds a mean genie. With special guests the hosts of Kermitment, Matthew Gaydos and Sam Schultz! PLUS: Are podcasts voluntary hauntings? Traveling Matt as Denzel Washington's copilot. Charpuce! The Genie's song: Taylor's Version.
Many people today lament the end of the world. And while we are entering into a period of rapid change, the real cause isn't political or ideological. We're in this situation because no one is turning down the genie: our magical technologies that effortlessly fulfill desire. It's not in our nature to turn down easy gratification – and expecting others to do so is unrealistic. This is why the world is falling apart.

From shipping Gemini Deep Think and IMO Gold to launching the Reasoning and AGI team in Singapore, Yi Tay has spent the last 18 months living through the full arc of Google DeepMind's pivot from architecture research to RL-driven reasoning—watching his team go from a dozen researchers to 300+, training models that solve International Math Olympiad problems in a live competition, and building the infrastructure to scale deep thinking across every domain, and driving Gemini to the top of the leaderboards across every category. Yi Returns to dig into the inside story of the IMO effort and more! We discuss: Yi's path: Brain → Reka → Google DeepMind → Reasoning and AGI team Singapore, leading model training for Gemini Deep Think and IMO Gold The IMO Gold story: four co-captains (Yi in Singapore, Jonathan in London, Jordan in Mountain View, and Tong leading the overall effort), training the checkpoint in ~1 week, live competition in Australia with professors punching in problems as they came out, and the tension of not knowing if they'd hit Gold until the human scores came in (because the Gold threshold is a percentile, not a fixed number) Why they threw away AlphaProof: "If one model can't do it, can we get to AGI?" The decision to abandon symbolic systems and bet on end-to-end Gemini with RL was bold and non-consensus On-policy vs. off-policy RL: off-policy is imitation learning (copying someone else's trajectory), on-policy is the model generating its own outputs, getting rewarded, and training on its own experience—"humans learn by making mistakes, not by copying" Why self-consistency and parallel thinking are fundamental: sampling multiple times, majority voting, LM judges, and internal verification are all forms of self-consistency that unlock reasoning beyond single-shot inference The data efficiency frontier: humans learn from 8 orders of magnitude less data than models, so where's the bug? Is it the architecture, the learning algorithm, backprop, off-policyness, or something else? Three schools of thought on world models: (1) Genie/spatial intelligence (video-based world models), (2) Yann LeCun's JEPA + FAIR's code world models (modeling internal execution state), (3) the amorphous "resolution of possible worlds" paradigm (curve-fitting to find the world model that best explains the data) Why AI coding crossed the threshold: Yi now runs a job, gets a bug, pastes it into Gemini, and relaunches without even reading the fix—"the model is better than me at this" The Pokémon benchmark: can models complete Pokédex by searching the web, synthesizing guides, and applying knowledge in a visual game state? "Efficient search of novel idea space is interesting, but we're not even at the point where models can consistently apply knowledge they look up" DSI and generative retrieval: re-imagining search as predicting document identifiers with semantic tokens, now deployed at YouTube (symmetric IDs for RecSys) and Spotify Why RecSys and IR feel like a different universe: "modeling dynamics are strange, like gravity is different—you hit the shuttlecock and hear glass shatter, cause and effect are too far apart" The closed lab advantage is increasing: the gap between frontier labs and open source is growing because ideas compound over time, and researchers keep finding new tricks that play well with everything built before Why ideas still matter: "the last five years weren't just blind scaling—transformers, pre-training, RL, self-consistency, all had to play well together to get us here" Gemini Singapore: hiring for RL and reasoning researchers, looking for track record in RL or exceptional achievement in coding competitions, and building a small, talent-dense team close to the frontier — Yi Tay Google DeepMind: https://deepmind.google X: https://x.com/YiTayML Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction: Returning to Google DeepMind and the Singapore AGI Team 00:04:52 The Philosophy of On-Policy RL: Learning from Your Own Mistakes 00:12:00 IMO Gold Medal: The Journey from AlphaProof to End-to-End Gemini 00:21:33 Training IMO Cat: Four Captains Across Three Time Zones 00:26:19 Pokemon and Long-Horizon Reasoning: Beyond Academic Benchmarks 00:36:29 AI Coding Assistants: From Lazy to Actually Useful 00:32:59 Reasoning, Chain of Thought, and Latent Thinking 00:44:46 Is Attention All You Need?

Every tabletop RPG player has had this thought at some point: "If I had one Wish, I could fix everything." And every Dungeon Master has had the immediate follow-up thought: "If you cast Wish, I'm fixing you." In this episode, the RPGBOT crew tackles the most powerful spell in the game—the one that can rewrite reality, end campaigns, summon divine attention, and turn a carefully planned epic into a rules argument that lasts longer than combat at level 17. Whether you're wishing for ultimate power, infinite gold, or just a snack because the barbarian is bored, we're here to explain how Wish actually works… and why your DM is already sweating. Wish is the most powerful spell in tabletop roleplaying games—and one of the most dangerous. In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we break down how Wish works across Dungeons & Dragons 3.5e, D&D 5e (2014 and 2024), Pathfinder 1e, and Pathfinder 2e, including its lore, mechanics, exploits, and why so many Game Masters fear it. We explore how Wish can replicate spells, rewrite reality, override divine power, and derail entire campaigns if mishandled. The discussion covers infamous loopholes like simulacrum chains, genie-granted wishes, ritual casting in Pathfinder 2e, and why Wish is often the reason high-level campaigns fall apart. Finally, we offer practical GM advice for handling Wish without ruining your game—whether you want it as a campaign capstone, a narrative ritual, or a controlled tool of world-changing magic. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the hosts take an in-depth look at Wish, the iconic reality-altering spell that defines high-level play in Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder. Often called the most powerful spell ever printed, Wish allows characters to replicate spells, heal allies, undo actions, reshape the world, and even challenge the gods themselves—at a steep narrative and mechanical cost. The episode begins with the lore of Wish, including its emergence after the fall of Netheril and its relationship to lost 10th-level magic. The hosts then compare how Wish functions mechanically across editions, from the expensive, tightly worded versions in D&D 3.5e and Pathfinder 1e, to the flexible but risky spellcasting in D&D 5e, and finally the radically redesigned Pathfinder 2e Wish ritual, which introduces casting time, interference, ritual checks, and failure states. A major focus is why Wish is so controversial for Game Masters. The discussion covers campaign-breaking outcomes, narrative paradoxes, infamous exploits like infinite simulacrum armies, and why many tables restrict or ban the spell outright. The hosts also examine genie-granted wishes, highlighting how Pathfinder 2e adds unique wish interpretations based on genie type—ranging from diplomatic and literal to malicious and destabilizing. The episode concludes with practical GM advice on how to handle Wish responsibly: limiting it to core effects, telegraphing consequences, using rituals instead of instant casting, and reframing Wish as a dramatic story event rather than an "I win" button. Key Takeaways Wish is widely considered the most powerful spell in tabletop RPGs, capable of rewriting reality itself. Different systems handle Wish very differently, with Pathfinder 2e's ritual system offering the strongest structural safeguards. In D&D 5e, spell duplication is the safest use of Wish; creative uses risk permanent loss of the spell. Wish is a major reason many GMs avoid or limit high-level campaigns. Genie-granted wishes introduce flavorful but dangerous interpretations, especially in Pathfinder 2e. Successful use of Wish requires clear GM communication, narrative foreshadowing, and player trust.

"Happiness radiates out of people… your change is the most potent contribution you can make to global change." Hard times have a way of exposing what actually holds us together. When prices rise, headlines darken, and uncertainty becomes constant, willpower and positive thinking stop working. What matters then is whether you have an inner foundation that stays steady regardless of external pressure. This episode points to a different kind of strength—one that doesn't numb you to reality, but keeps you calm, clear, and grounded while everything else feels unstable. The conversation explores how inner states like peace, resilience, and clarity are not personality traits or spiritual gifts—they're trainable. There is a neurological threshold where fleeting moments of calm begin to lock in, where stress stops running the system, and where reactions soften into perspective. What's most compelling is how quickly this shift can begin, and how it changes the way people relate to money, conflict, fear, and even ambition during difficult seasons. Dr. Dawson is a researcher, author, and speaker known for bridging neuroscience with spiritual practice. He has written multiple bestselling books and founded an organization that has helped tens of thousands of veterans recover from PTSD. His work focuses on turning elevated inner states into something stable, practical, and usable—especially when life feels anything but easy.

On today's Christmas special of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter deliver their very own festive spin on the Queen's Speech, reflecting on a year of love, growth and the tiny habits that quietly drive us mad.From red flags that shout to beige flags that whisper “this will annoy you forever”, they take a wry look back at the moments that have tested relationships up and down the country.There's talk of mismatched sexual rhythms, questionable storage discoveries, awkward festive gatherings and the universal comfort of knowing someone else is also silently judging something small.With music confessions, language debates and plenty of wine-fuelled wisdom, Abbey and Peter remind us that none of us are perfect — but if things get tense this Christmas… just grow up.

Geld ist eines der größten Tabuthemen in Beziehungen und gleichzeitig eines der konfliktträchtigsten. Ob Sparen oder Genießen, Sicherheit oder Freiheit, Fairness oder Abhängigkeit: Beim Thema Geld prallen oft unterschiedliche Werte, Prägungen und Bedürfnisse aufeinander. Schnell geht es dann nicht mehr um Zahlen, sondern um Anerkennung, Kontrolle, Selbstwert oder das Gefühl, gesehen zu werden. In dieser Folge sprechen wir darüber, warum Geld in Partnerschaften so emotional aufgeladen ist, welche Geldmuster wir aus unserer Herkunftsfamilie mitbringen, warum Streit oft an scheinbaren Kleinigkeiten entsteht und wie Paare Wege finden können, fair und offen über Geld zu sprechen, auch bei unterschiedlichen Einkommen, Elternschaft oder ungleicher Care-Arbeit. Außerdem geht es darum, wie klare Absprachen Nähe schaffen können, statt Distanz zu erzeugen.Unsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://art19.com/privacy.

During the Cold War, the U.S. Air Force tested one of the most controversial weapons ever created—the AIR-2 Genie nuclear air-to-air missile. In this exclusive interview, we speak with a man whose father flew wingman during the actual Genie missile test and witnessed the launch firsthand. As interest in UFOs, Cold War black projects, and secret military weapons continues to grow, the Genie missile test stands out as one of the most shocking moments in U.S. military history. Was it purely defensive… or something more?Raised By Giants LInkTree: https://linktr.ee/raisedbygiantspod

In this episode of the Torsion Talk Podcast, Ryan Lucia takes on one of the hardest topics in business: the tough conversations leaders avoid, create, or live inside without even realizing it. Coming off an incredible mastermind event in Atlanta, Ryan shares insights from guest speaker Chris Brooks of Central Door Solutions, whose sales-first approach built a thriving company without relying heavily on marketing. Ryan also recaps day two of the mastermind, where he introduced powerful automations and sales tools through HighLevel and explained how garage door companies can reduce costs and increase capability by integrating the right tech stack.Ryan gives updates on operator brands, including concerns about reliability, callbacks, and leadership changes across the industry, and shares his honest reaction to new products from Genie and LiftMaster. He highlights why consistency, not bells and whistles, is what customers truly want. He also talks about his new morning routine—early rising, stretching, meditation, prayer, and ashwagandha—and how it has dramatically improved his stress management and clarity.The core of the episode centers on fear, failure, and the limitations leaders place on themselves. Ryan explains why playing it safe is no longer an option in a landscape shaped by consolidation, national competitors, and shifting customer behavior. He breaks down why word-of-mouth isn't a marketing strategy, why many small operators won't survive without adapting, and how medium-sized companies can grow rapidly through smart acquisitions and partnerships.One of the most powerful moments comes from a story about circus elephants tied to chairs—a metaphor for the invisible limitations leaders drag with them for years. Ryan uses the analogy to challenge business owners to recognize where they've accepted false boundaries, outdated habits, and broken systems. He openly reflects on his own leadership flaws, including being too soft, staying loyal too long, and avoiding hard decisions with people who think they're irreplaceable.Ryan encourages leaders to examine whether their fears, standards, or past disappointments are holding their companies back. He explains how baggage from failed agencies, failed hires, or failed strategies can distort expectations and sabotage future success. By the end, Ryan brings the conversation back to accountability: if problems keep repeating, the mirror is often the first place to look.He closes with gratitude, encouragement, and a reminder that growth requires both courage and honesty. As always, he thanks listeners for following Torsion Talk and hints that the next mastermind announcement is coming soon.Find Ryan at:https://garagedooru.comhttps://aaronoverheaddoors.comhttps://markinuity.com/Check out our sponsors!Sommer USA - http://sommer-usa.comSurewinder - https://surewinder.comStealth Hardware - https://quietmydoor.com/

We discuss: How Medal's 3.8B action-labeled highlight clips became a privacy-preserving goldmine for world models Building fully vision-based agents that only see frames and output actions yet play like (and sometimes better than) humans Transferring from arcade-style games to realistic games to real-world video using the same perception–action recipe Why world models need actions, memory, and partial observability (smoke, occlusion, camera shake) vs. “just” pretty video generation Distilling giant policies into tiny real-time models that still navigate, hide, and peek corners like real players Pim's path from RuneScape private servers, Tourette's, and reverse engineering to leading a frontier world-model lab How data-rich founders should think about valuing their datasets, negotiating with big labs, and deciding when to go independent GI's first customers: replacing brittle behavior trees in games, engines, and controller-based robots with a “frames in, actions out” API Using Medal clips as “episodic memory of simulation” to move from imitation learning to RL via world models and negative events The 2030 vision: spatial–temporal foundation models that power the majority of atoms-to-atoms interactions in simulation and the real world — Pim X: https://x.com/PimDeWitte LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pimdw/ Where to find Latent Space X: https://x.com/latentspacepod Substack: https://www.latent.space/ Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction and Medal's Gaming Data Advantage 00:02:08 Exclusive Demo: Vision-Based Gaming Agents 00:06:17 Action Prediction and Real-World Video Transfer 00:08:41 World Models: Interactive Video Generation 00:13:42 From Runescape to AI: Pim's Founder Journey 00:16:45 The Research Foundations: Diamond, Genie, and SEMA 00:33:03 Vinod Khosla's Largest Seed Bet Since OpenAI 00:35:04 Data Moats and Why GI Stayed Independent 00:38:42 Self-Teaching AI Fundamentals: The Francois Fleuret Course 00:40:28 Defining World Models vs Video Generation 00:41:52 Why Simulation Complexity Favors World Models 00:43:30 World Labs, Yann LeCun, and the Spatial Intelligence Race 00:50:08 Business Model: APIs, Agents, and Game Developer Partnerships 00:58:57 From Imitation Learning to RL: Making Clips Playable 01:00:15 Open Research, Academic Partnerships, and Hiring 01:02:09 2030 Vision: 80 Percent of Atoms-to-Atoms AI Interactions
Have you dabbled in communication with animals? Even just for fun or out of curiosity? If so, you already know how surprising, heart-opening, and downright magical it can be. And if you haven't tried it yet… buckle up. The possibilities for emotional healing — plus personal and spiritual growth — are honestly astonishing. Animal Communciation That's exactly what I talked about with animal communicator Genie Joseph in this week's whimsical episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast. Genie brought stories, wisdom, and humor to t he show. Our conversation was a reminder that animals are so much more than companions — they're teachers, healers, guides, and sometimes even philosophers in furry bodies. The Philosophical Rabbit Genie started by sharing an enchanting story about her friend Paloma, an animal communicator in Switzerland. Paloma's rabbit, Spot, was not your average carrot-crunching cutie. He had a giant personality. According to Spot, he was a philosopher. And he had no problem telling Paloma that she simply wasn't on his level. Apparently, he’d had a few human lives. At one point he literally said, “You're not at my level. Go back and study.” Can you imagine being put down by a rabbit? Each time Paloma returned, eager to collaborate, Spot sent her back to do more inner work. Only after she'd grown spiritually and emotionally did he finally agree to partner with her on writing a book. This story cracked me up, but it also highlights something profound. Animals have rich inner worlds and unique perspectives. They're funny, wise, stubborn, intuitive, and deeply aware, often far more than we give them credit for. Wolfie Knew His Time Was Up Next came the story that changed Genie's life and honestly, it gave me chills. Her beloved cat, Wolfie, introduced her to the mystical world of animal communication. Toward the end of his life, Genie was torn about what to do. The vet suggested euthanasia, but her heart wasn't ready. She felt confused, guilty, and overwhelmed. This what people feel when you love an animal deeply and want to do right by them. In a moment of desperation and tenderness, she asked Wolfie what he wanted and to her complete surprise, he answered. Wolfie telepathically communicated that he wanted to pass peacefully at home. He provided the exact day and time he intended to leave his body which was between 3 and 5 AM. And just as he said, Wolfie passed at 3:30 AM. This experience affirmed for Genie communication with animals was real. That moment became her turning point, the doorway that led her into a life long devotion to understanding and teaching intuitive animal communication. You might think of her as a pet psychic. Everyday Wisdom from Animals Wolfie's guidance started earlier in as he helped Genie with everyday decisions, including her movie projects. If she wasn't sure which script to choose, she'd spread them out on the floor. Wolfie would quietly wander over and plop himself on the one that ended up being the best choice. He was always right. Eventually, Genie trusted him so much she referred to him as her “business partner.” Animals pick up your moods, your energy, your hesitations, andyour excitement. Sometimes they see the bigger picture long before humans do. It makes you think, how many times has your pet has been trying to tell you something, but you just didn't realize you were being guided? Healing with Animal Therapy Genie then shifted into the deeper purpose behind her work, which is emotional healing. She shared the story of Oscar, a rescued dog with scars, missing teeth, and a heartbreaking past. Yet, despite everything he'd been through, Oscar became a powerful therapy partner for soldiers suffering from PTSD. That’s because Oscar had a rare gift. He could sense the person in the room who was in the most pain. Not the loudest or the one with the biggest personality. Oscar sensed which person silently felt like they were at the end of their rope and were at the greatest risk of suicide. He'd wander over, rest his head on their lap, and stay with them until their energy softened. Time after time, he found the soldier who needed him most. Genie watched veterans open emotionally, often for the first time in years. Oscar's presence reached places that traditional therapy often couldn’t go where trauma hides. Animals don't judge. They don't push, need you to “explain.” They simply see you and comfort you. Sometimes, that's just what someone needs to begin healing. Communication with Animals One of the things Genie emphasized which I loved, is that animals have feelings and very real opinions. She shared the story of a horse who became cranky and withdrawn after being moved to a new barn. Nothing seemed physically wrong, but his behavior was off. When Genie tuned in, she discovered he was upset because he used to spend all day with his companion, a female horse and not just the evenings. He missed the 24/7 connection with her. Once his caretakers understood this, they changed his living situation and suddenly, the horse relaxed and returned to his bright, affectionate self. Sometimes the fix is emotional, not physical and the animal is just waiting for someone to ask what is needed. Conversations with Animals Who Passed Genie also talked about communicating with animals who have passed on. According to her, this can be even easier because they're no longer limited by their bodies. The messages they send are often clearer, more detailed, and incredibly loving. People who felt guilty about euthanasia decisions or worried they hadn't done enough often found deep peace after hearing from their pet. These conversations helped them release burdens and understand their animals truly knew how loved they were. It's comforting to think that your pets still check in and are available to offer guidance from the other side. Marvels of Intuitive Connection At one point, I shared some of my own experiences with intuitive communication with animals. Like the time I negotiated with starlings who were dive-bombing a pool. Or the rabbit who mucnhed down my roses until I had a little “chat” with him. These moments may seem small, but they show how communication can create understanding, harmony, and even cooperation between humans and the wild world around us. Animals listen, respond and they appreciate being spoken to with respect and awareness. Exploring the Human–Animal Bond My conversation with Genie opened a doorway into an entirely different way of relating to our animal companions. Her work through The Human Animal Connection helps pet owners worldwide deepen their relationships, understand their animal's inner world, and dissolve emotional barriers. This is much bigger that solving behavior problems. This is really about soulful partnerships. Animals speak to you all the time, through energy, intuition, behavior, and subtle emotional cues. When you slow down and listen, you discover they've been sharing wisdom, comfort, and support all along. The Secret World of Animals Is Waiting This week's episode is a beautiful reminder of the secret world waiting right at your feet, curled up on your couch, napping on your lap, or chirping outside your window. Your animals may have insights you've never imagined and it’s possible they’ve been trying to help you more than you realize. And they may have little pearls of wisdom (or sass!) just waiting for you to hear. So tune in, get curious, and let the magic of communication with animals open your heart in new ways. Or get a session with an animal communicator like Genie to speak with your pet for you.

Send us a textWhat happens when a holiday cocktail meets a castle full of princesses? We kick off a month of Christmas specials with a park-inspired Holiday Cosmo and a globe-spanning tour of princess traditions that blends culture, comedy, and cozy storytelling.We start with the Magic Kingdom's Holiday Cosmo as our guide: vanilla vodka, orange liqueur, cranberry, lime, and a sugared rim. We share an easy home recipe and talk flavor: how vanilla rounds tart fruit, why the color skews blush instead of neon, and simple tweaks for batching or going zero-proof without losing the festive mood. From there, the sleigh takes off. Snow White harmonizes with forest friends and accidentally bakes forty pies. Cinderella observes midnight rituals in France and hosts a slipper-chic party after a wrapping spell goes wild. Pocahontas crafts light from berries and river stones. Mulan battles snarled lights like a seasoned general. Rapunzel becomes the tinsel queen and gifts lanterns under winter skies.Our tour lands in Polynesia with Moana's outrigger Santa and Maui's fire-roasted feast, then dives undersea for Ariel's clam-shell gifts and under-the-sea carols. Belle curates a marathon reading while Beast's décor instincts falter and Mrs. Potts saves the evening with tea. Genie grants Agrabah a snow day as Raja topples trees with kitten enthusiasm. New Orleans swings with Tiana's beignets, gumbo, and a jazz parade led by Louis. Scotland's Merida hosts Highland holiday games featuring a decorated tree toss. In Arendelle, Anna cycles through sweaters and snowmen while Elsa turns the square into an ice-sculpture light show. We wrap with the Madrigal family's chaotic sweetness—Bruno's prophecies and Dolores's supersonic Santa alerts—and Asha's Mediterranean wishing-star cookies.It's a festive mix of cocktail craft, Disney nostalgia, cultural nods, and quick-witted bits that will spark your own tradition ideas. If you smiled, learned a trick for your next Cosmo, or found a new favorite princess moment, tap follow, leave a five-star review, and share this episode with a friend who loves Christmas and castles.

Leveling Up: Creating Everything From Nothing with Natalie Jill
Join us for our free masterclass https://midlifeconversations.com/gut Is your gut secretly controlling your brain, sabotaging your weight loss, and destroying your health – all while conventional medicine tells you it's "just stress"? After diving deep into the research on histamine, mast cells, and the gut-brain connection (and texting Laura Frontiero approximately a million questions), I discovered why so many midlife women are struggling with mysterious symptoms that doctors can't explain. Laura reveals the shocking truth about leaky gut that has nothing to do with digestive symptoms, why fermented foods and bone broth might be making you worse, not better, and the dangerous mistake people make when trying to heal their gut. We uncover the instant connection between your brain and gut (proven by stroke research), why perfectionism is sabotaging your healing, and the surprising over-the-counter remedies that actually work for histamine issues. Plus, Laura shares why meditation might be stressing you out more, the unexpected link between gut health and Alzheimer's, and how estrogen dominance persists even after menopause. This conversation completely changed how I think about the stress-gut-brain connection and reveals why doing just 60% of things right is enough to heal.
