Podcasts about Giza

One of the biggest mysteries in history is the Great Sphinx of Giza, Egypt. Who was the lion with a human head? How did the ancient Egyptians manage to construct this huge statue? They kept no records, and perhaps they didn't want us to know, since many attempts to study the Sphinx result in mysterious accidents. But do you know that there are a lot of really weird monuments around the world? Among the many traditional monuments, you can find in almost any town or city in the world, there are those whose sculptors appear to have departed completely from convention. Let's look at the strangest of them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

He joined both the NELC and Anthropology Departments in 2010, after teaching Egyptology at Tufts University for ten years. He has also been on the curatorial staff of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, since 1987, and held the position of Giza Archives Project Director there until June 2011 (he is now Founding Director, The Giza Archives). In addition to Giza, his Egyptian archaeological and epigraphic site work includes New Kingdom temples at Luxor (Epigraphic Survey, Oriental Institute, University of Chicago), and the Predynastic site of Naqada.His primary research interests include ancient Egyptian history, archaeology, epigraphy, the development of mortuary architecture, and the (icono)graphic nature of Egyptian language and culture in general. He has published on diverse topics and periods in Egyptian history, but currently focuses on the third millennium BC, and specifically on the famous Giza Necropolis, just west of modern Cairo. The Harvard University-Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition excavated major portions of the site between 1905 and 1947.

Third and likely final trial run is today May 30, 2023. #gen_AI_for_whut?? Peter Shankman [00:00:40]: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to their episode of faster than normal. How about we raise a glass of bourbon today? I don't actually well, that's not true. I've had bourbon. I like bourbon, but like most things, I rarely drink anymore, because, as we know, I don't just have one drink. Peter Shankman [00:00:58]:  We are talking today on this gorgeous day I'm recording on a Thursday. I'm doing all my recordings on a Thursday this week, and it's it's beautiful out. It's it's about 68 degrees in New York. It's sunny and a cloud in the sky. It's a gorgeous day, and I'm inside recording all day. And this Saturday, it's going to be raining into the 40s. It's like god's personal gag reel. I just don't I don't understand the universe sometimes. Anyway, we have a fun guest on faster than normal day. We are talking to Morgan Hancock. Morgan Hancock is a plethora of things. I believe that everyone should make it an effort to use the word plethora at least once a day. Morgan includes you. I want you to start using the word plethora. Morgan [00:01:39]: At least I use it five times a day. Peter Shankman [00:01:40]: There you go. I like her! Morgan is a commercial real estate agent. She's an entrepreneur. She's an Army veteran. She's a mother of two. She's a get this “Bourbonista”, okay, which has to be my new favorite word. And she's a passionate advocate of the arts. She launched something called bourbon with heart. It's Kentucky's first and only arts focused bourbon charity. Bourbon with heart's mission is to leverage the influence and popularity of bourbon to raise funds, bring awareness, educate, provide better access, and deliver a first class arts experience to every person in Kentucky, regardless of age, race, class, gender, or ability. I absolutely love that. As a public school kid who grew up in the performing arts, I think that is hands down, one of the coolest things I've ever heard. Oh and by the way, Morgan also has massive ADHD. Welcome to the show. We're thrilled to have you. Morgan [00:02:33]: Thank you. And let me we started by saying we are Kentucky's first and only arts focused bourbon charity. But pretty sure we could just claim the world because I'm almost 100% certain nobody in the world has an Arts focused Bourbon charity. Peter Shankman [00:02:52]: I'm pretty sure I've never heard of one. I haven't been looking, but I'd be willing to bet that you're probably right on that. I'm talking to Morgan today and she's has her camera on. I'm looking in the background. She has this gorgeous her desk is full of stuff and she has this gorgeous collection of color swatches adorning her wall where normal in any other room it would be at a place. For some reason, it just seems to fit her style. She looks awesome as she's talking to us and it just seems to work. So, welcome to the podcast. We're thrilled to have you here. First question I got to ask you. So you're an army vet? Thank you for your service. Number one.But more importantly, let's talk about I've Often said that looking back on it. My ADHD probably would have been I would have served me well to have been in some branch of the military. Just for the discipline. Because when I was in my late.Twenty s, I met a former Navy.Seal who was teaching a boot camp class in New York City. Come to New York, he lived in Houston, came New York four times a year for two weeks at a time, and taught a boot camp class.And it was basically like being in the field for two straight weeks every Morning for two weeks. And I remember, granted, it was only 2 hours a day as opposed to in your aspect, 24/7, but the discipline that he required from us has stuck with me to this day. He's the reason I'm early. Everywhere I go, he's the reason that I'm not on time, I'm early and things like that So I don't know if you were Diagnosed by the time you entered the army, but let's first and foremost talk About what it's like to be in A place with such discipline and such rigid controls. Like the army, like the military, with ADHD. Morgan [00:04:24]:  Okay, well, first, it's a little awkward to people that can't see. So I'm just talking to you while you're jumping out of a plane in. Peter Shankman [00:04:33]: Egypt over the pyramids of Giza.Yes. Morgan [00:04:35]: So I've never interviewed with someone who's actually in the air over Giza. This is school for the people listening. His camera is not live right now, so he has the placeholder photo, which is him, skydiving or parasailing, I can't tell in Egypt. So I feel like that's I'm interviewing with him while he's doing that. I feel like really boring over here right now. Peter Shankman [00:05:07]:  Not at all! Morgan [00:05:09]: So, to answer your question, I wasn't diagnosed by that time. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 31. And I'm 37 almost, will be in a couple of months. My personality, if that's what you call it, did not do well in the military. I was constantly in trouble. I got transferred. I'll just say I got kicked out of a platoon, put in a different platoon. I was always on the verge of being written up for different issues. Bu. I made it. I served my time. I got honorable discharge. I made it. But I don't suggest it. The military as a place for people. Peter Shankman [00:05:56]: With ADHD, why were you constantly getting written up? Was it lack of attention? Was it lack of focus? What was causing it? Morgan [00:06:04]: Yeah, all the above and just kind of my whole life struggling with authority or any type of rigid systems and structured and just always kind of bouncing all over the place and kind of always being the class clown type, which really doesn't go over in the military. They just don't have a good sense of humor, I'll say that. Peter Shankman [00:06:36]: So basically your time in the military was like my time in school. Morgan [00:06:39]: Yeah, if you were a class clown, then yeah, I just tried to be a class clown in the military, and drill sergeants don't appreciate that. There's not like a superlative or you can win class clown. There's awards, honors and medals, but not for class clown and not for the funniest. Peter Shankman [00:07:00]: You got through it, though, right? Was there a point where you realized, gee, maybe I should shut up. Maybe I should stop making jokes? Morgan [00:07:09]: Yeah, because my arts and legs would hurt because of the punishments. And then because they do mass punishment. Peter Shankman [00:07:22]: Everyone had to do it. Morgan [00:07:23]: And you were getting trouble. Yeah, I thought, maybe I shouldn't do this, but then it's like I just couldn't resist either, so I just stayed in trouble and just don't recommend that's really my review of being in the military. Peter Shankman [00:07:44]: But you did it. You got through it. You got through it. Congratulations.     Morgan [00:07:47]: I did it, yeah. By the skin of my teeth, I got out of there. Peter Shankman [00:07:52]: So talk about; your an Army veteran, and prior to that you had a kid. Morgan [00:08:02]: Yeah, so I was 15 with my first son. I have two. One is 20 years old now. So it's crazy because we grew up together, and then I have a 13 year old, so I got pregnant with my second son also while I was in the military. I had one before I joined and than the second one during. Peter Shankman [00:08:30]: Are you married? Are you single? Morgan [00:08:32]: I'm not married, but not single. What do you call that? Peter Shankman [00:08:37]: Cohabitation? Doesn't matter. I guess the question I was going to ask is, what is it like raising a kid, a, when you're young. And by that, I mean, I've raised my Daughter when I've had ADHD, but I also had her at almost 40 years old. Right. So I had a little more life experience under my belt. What was that like for you? What were some of the, I guess, difficulties that you had to go through? I can't imagine anyone having a kid at 15, bet it wasn't easy, but what was it like for you? Morgan [00:09:03]: Right. I know it couldn't have been easy. If you just look at the facts of it, there's no way it could have been easy, but it's weird because honestly, sometimes it's just hard to remember. I think also when you're young, you just don't think about things being hard, you just do them and you just don't think, oh, this is now. If I had to do it now, I'd be like moaning and groaning, complaining about every step of the way. But I think when you're young, you're different. Maybe you're just a little more adaptable. But he had to go on some wild rides with me. I was always kind of rebelling or doing things against the norm and having a new phase or interest every other month or couple of months. So he definitely did not have a traditional upbringing. I pulled him out of school for many years to do homeschooling, if that's what you call it. I don't know how you exactly define homeschooling. We weren't in school. We'll say that. Peter Shankman [00:10:16]: It sounds like it was interesting, though, for him. It sounds like it was never boring. Morgan [00:10:19]:  Oh, no, definitely not. I think it was called ‘unschooling' at that time, and it was just the reason I did that is because school just wasn't beneficial to me. If anything, it felt a lot like wasted time. And he was also just a very passionate person like me. And so I just knew that school in a lot of ways was going to hold him back the way I felt it did for me. So he really didn't go to school most of his life, and I don't have any regrets of that decision. I think he's one of the most mature, just turned 20 year olds than I know. He pays all his own bills. He has a fantastic job making more than most 40 year olds I know. Peter Shankman [00:11:12]: Yeah, I want to talk about Bourbon with heart. So a nonprofit to help the arts is always an amazing thing!! I mean, I'm on the board of a couple of them here in New York, but why bourbon? What's your connection to bourbon other than Kentucky? Morgan [00:11:31]: Well, if you live in Kentucky, as you said, you can't help but be impacted by bourbon. It's a huge part of our culture, of our economy. I love bourbon. I've been a fan of bourbon since well, I can't say how long, because we'll just say since I legally could be. And bourbon in Kentucky has this kind of incredible power to people really unite around it, because, as I said, it is a culture and it brings people together. And there's this bond than bourbon forms, and art does the same thing. Art unites people and brings people together. And one thing that people, everyone in the world knows Kentucky is the leader of the bourbon industry, but people don't realize we have a really rich and thriving arts culture in Kentucky and a ton of talent. So we took bourbon with heart, got them as a way to leverage that existing popularity and influence of bourbon to then bring the awareness and educate people and raise funds for the local art scene. And it's working. Peter Shankman [00:12:53]: How is it working? Morgan [00:12:54]: It's working because it has been met with so much support and enthusiasm. I mean, people just naturally when we launched this, I did not expect the rapid success and for everyone to just be so to just embrace it with open arms. I mean, corporations, our local businesses, the distilleries, the media, the artists in our community, and everyone just has embraced us with open arms and everyone's all of a sudden, wow, art and bourbon was such a natural marriage. And so many things are just growing from this initial concept. We're on our fourth exhibit this year. We're already over $100,000 that we've raised this year. And we have some really huge partnerships coming with big community players coming up in the coming years or next year. It's bringing people together that you would not typically see in the same room. And that's a beautiful thing. And let me also I don't know if you mentioned this, but yes, we raise funds and we raise awareness for the local arts community, but we raise funds for other local nonprofits. So we've given away almost $45,000 to other nonprofits that aren't arts related. Peter Shankman [00:14:12]: Very cool. That's a phenomenal what a cool concept. Marrying the two. You wouldn't really think it's funny but, I want to say I have a love hate relationship with Kentucky, but primarily just a hate relationship. In 2014, I ran the Louisville Ironman and it was the last year they ever did it in the summer because the starting temperature was 104 degrees and it was hands down the most painful and difficult Iron Man Triathlon I've ever done in my life. And I remember being back at the airport after it was over and saying, I am never I don't even want to fly over Louisville. It was so hot and so miserable. But I got through it. And the people there were wonderful as they rescued my dehydrated ass from nearly dying. So great people, but your weather sucks ass. Morgan [00:15:03]: That being said, I agree. Peter Shankman [00:15:05]: What a cool concept and I'm so glad we took the time. Let me ask you one final question, Morgan. Let's say you're walking down the street and you come across a 15 year old who is much like you were at 15, undiagnosed ADHD, school, bores her. Things really, aren't you're not really seeing what's out there and you want more. You just don't know how to get it. What do you tell her? Morgan [00:15:27]:  You're not going to find it in that boy. Start with that. That's probably what she's needing to hear at than point that's honestly one of the main things. And then just chase your passions because basically what I've had to do. All the energy that fuels and drives me now to make me successful in these endeavors. Bourbon with heart. It's really kind of the same energy that got me in trouble in the past. I just learned how to harness it for more positive, socially acceptable, not self damaging things. I would tell them to take that energy and harness it. They can still let it all out, but harness it for something that's not going to get you in trouble. Peter Shankman [00:16:25]:  I love that. Morgan Hancock, this was an honest pleasure. Thank you so much. I'd love to have you back at some point. Morgan [00:16:31]: Thank you. Thank you. Peter Shankman [00:16:32]: Awesome guys. As always.

Do you know all the New Seven Wonders of the World? The list was officially finished in 2007 because there is just one wonder currently still standing from the old list: the Pyramids of Giza. The new wonders have their secrets. The mighty Taj Mahal, for example, can change color. And more than half of all the construction in Machu Picchu was done underground, so you can't even see it.

Archaeologists recently released pictures of a hidden chamber inside the pyramid of Khufu, the largest of the Great Pyramids of Giza. The chamber was discovered with cosmic “X-rays.” Cosmic rays are particles from exploding stars and other powerful events. When they strike atoms and molecules in Earth's atmosphere, they create showers of other particles, including muons. They zip through solid matter — including the pyramid, which was built more than 4500 years ago. Detectors placed around the pyramid picked up the muons, providing a 3D view of its interior — revealing the 30-foot-long chamber. The X-rays aren't the pyramid's only connection to the stars. It was laid out with the help of the North Star. And a shaft inside the pyramid points to another star. When the pyramids were built, north was marked not by today's North Star, Polaris, but by Thuban, a star in Draco. Under dark skies, it's visible along the line between Polaris and the tip of the handle of the Big Dipper. The change is the result of a wobble in Earth's axis. Guided by Thuban, architects aligned the pyramid with the cardinal directions with amazing precision. The pyramid also contains a shaft that aims at Orion's Belt. In ancient Egypt, the stars of Orion represented Osiris, the god of the underworld. A dead king joined Osiris as one of the stars in that part of the sky. So the shaft provided a path from this world to the next.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

"Get ready for a fascinating debate on the construction of the Great Pyramids of Giza in our latest episode of the 'Say What Again Billy?' podcast! We're joined by Michael Deluna, a.k.a. the Angry History Geek from TikTok, as we explore the theories surrounding this incredible feat of engineering. Did extraterrestrial beings or an advanced civilization play a role? Or was it simply an incredible archaeological achievement? Tune in to find out what we discovered!"

The Greek historian Herodotus wrote about seven great architectural structures. That list became known as the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Of those seven achievements, four were destroyed by earthquake. Two were destroyed by fire. Only one is still standing – the Great Pyramid of Giza, in Egypt. This pyramid today has a height of 450 feet, or 137 meters. It was the tallest structure in the world for over 3800 years. And now, it's a popular tourist destination. People from all over the world will travel to Cairo, and stand next to this enormous structure, and just wonder about all the manpower and materials and work that went into creating it. And there are others, like today's guest, Alex, who look at the Great Pyramid and think “I'd like to climb to the top of that pyramid”. And Alex came up with a plan to do just that. What he didn't plan on was getting caught.

www.counterpartsshow.com The PYRAMIDS!! Last week we covered UFOs and resolved the mysteries with our single show! You're welcome! This week we will solve the mysteries of the Pyramids of Giza and maybe a few others from around the world. Join us to get real answers! The Giza Pyramid complex (also called the Giza necropolis) in Egypt is home to the Great Pyramid, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, along with their associated pyramid complexes and the Great Sphinx. All were built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of ancient Egypt, between 2600 and 2500 BC. The site also includes several temples and cemeteries and the remains of a workers' village.The site is at the edges of the Western Desert, approximately 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) west of the Nile River in the city of Giza, and about 13 kilometres (8 mi) southwest of the city centre of Cairo. It forms the northernmost part of the 16,000-hectare (40,000-acre) Pyramid Fields of the Memphis and its Necropolis UNESCO World Heritage Site, inscribed in 1979.[1] The pyramid fields include the Abu Sir, Saqarra and Dahshur pyramid complexes, that were all built in the vicinity of Egypt's ancient capital of Memphis.The Great Pyramid and the Pyramid of Khafre are the largest pyramids built in ancient Egypt, and they have historically been common as emblems of Ancient Egypt in the Western imagination. They were popularised in Hellenistic times, when the Great Pyramid was listed by Antipater of Sidon as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It is by far the oldest of the Ancient Wonders and the only one still in existence.

Was the Great Pyramid of Giza (and many other megaliths around the world) engineered using some form of lost ancient acoustic levitation technology? How did the ancient Pyramid builders transport the seventy ton granite blocks found inside the Great Pyramid from over 500 miles away from where they were quarried? Likewise, how did these same ancient architects lift 70 ton blocks over 350 feet above ground level? Was this lost technology wiped out by an ancient apocalypse 12,800 years ago that in turn wiped this ancient knowledge from human memory banks? A few months ago, Joe Rogan had Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson on his show to talk about all things ancient technology and ancient Egypt, and Joe and Graham had several insightful interactions. So in this episode, I will play a few of these soundbites and then share some of my thoughts regarding them.

We are producing a new series of episodes for Afterlives of Ancient Egypt called “Artifact Stories,” in which we choose one thing—be it art, artifact, architecture, etc.—and dive into the details in order to see what insights and perspectives we can draw from it. For each of these episodes we will be publishing a companion post on our Substack, Ancient/Now. In our first spotlight discussion we are featuring an object whose diminutive size belies the significance of the story it tells about the reign of the 4th Dynasty king, Khufu (ca. 2589-2566 BCE), who most people know as the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

The Great Pyramids of Giza are awesome feats of engineering and precision. So who built them - and how? Was it a mysteriously super-advanced civilization now oddly extinct? Was it even aliens? Nah, course not! Rutherford and Fry investigate how these inspiring monuments were really constructed, and learn about the complex civilisation and efficient bureaucracy that made them possible. Professor Sarah Parcak busts the myth that they were built by slaves. In fact, she reveals, it was gangs of well-paid blokes fuelled by the ancient Egyptian equivalent of burgers and beer. And Dr Chris Naunton explains how it was not some mysterious tech, but incredible organisation and teamwork which made it possible to transport massive stone blocks over long distances several thousand years before trucks arrived. Dr Heba Abd El Gawad points out how racism led to bizarre assumptions in the history of archaeology, and how those assumptions linger in contemporary conspiracy theories which refuse to accept that Egyptians could have built the pyramids themselves!

The great pyramids constructed by ancient Egyptians at Giza are the last of the seven wonders of the ancient world still remaining. These massive stone monuments have left people awestruck for thousands of years. True to the distinction as wonders of the ancient world, people have wondered and speculated about how the great pyramids were constructed pretty much as long as they have been around. While some conspiracy theorists like to talk about aliens because they cannot conceive of a world in which ancient people could figure out how to build a pile, I'm going to go out on a limb and say the pyramids were built by people. Archaeologists have found evidence of encampments around the pyramids suggesting that there was a group of skilled craftsmen permanently stationed to work while crews of around 2000 workers would be brought in seasonally.

HIDDEN CORRIDOR FOUND! What Can This Mysterious Discovery In The Great Pyramid of Giza Tell Us? A hidden corridor nine meters (30 feet) long has been discovered close to the main entrance of the 4,500-year-old Great Pyramid of Giza, and this could lead to further findings. The discovery within the pyramid, the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing, was made under the Scan Pyramids project that since 2015 has been using non-invasive technology including infrared thermography, 3D simulations and cosmic-ray imaging to peer inside the structure.They Call Me The Ghost

There is one person who probably has had more influence than anybody else over alternative views on the textbook narrative of ancient Egyptian technology. Christopher Dunn has written three prominent books on the subject. That is actually a piece of news, because number three hasn't yet been published. It will be out by the end of this year. Chris Dunn is an engineer, and thus he has the perspective of the people who actually built the marvels of ancient Egypt. He is very much not an Egyptologist or an archaeologist. Precisely because of that I would not hesitate to call him a leading expert in this field. The two books he is known for are The Giza Power Plant and Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt. The upcoming book is a sequel to the first one and has the title Giza – The Tesla Connection, with the subtitle Acoustical Science and the Harvesting of Clean Energy. Those who are skeptical of the idea that the precise artifacts and impressive buildings of ancient Egypt must have been made with the help of high-tech machinery often ask: ”So, why haven't we found any traces of those machines?” In fact, most machines that have been used to construct things are lost. Over time they corrode and turn to dust, especially if we are talking about an Egyptian civilization way older than the textbook dynasties.  ”I support the idea of a previous civilization that was met with a cataclysm”, says Chris. In his new book, he fine tunes his theories about how the Giza pyramids harnessed and transmitted energy. Important parts rest on the work by Nasa physicist Friedemann Freund. The Tesla connection is, among other things, the way the energy was distributed. Some say the knowledge about how to generate basically free energy has been actively suppressed since the days of Nikola Tesla, perhaps even longer. Chris Dunn is inclined to agree. ”There have been some very bright people out here who feel their ideas have been suppressed”, he says. ”There are vested interests that would prevent new technologies from being introduced, which would make their investments worthless.” ”In my new book, I am closer to describing more fully a better way to harness electricity. I expect it's going to be 50-60 years before people take it seriously. That's why I devote the book to future generations.” ”Or it may take a week. It depends who gets involved.” Links: Giza Power website Chris Dunn's books Mark Qvist's article on scanned and analyzed ancient urn Ahmed Adly, Youtube UnchartedX, Youtube

Raj Bala, Founder of Perspect, joins Corey on Screaming in the Cloud to discuss all things generative AI. Perspect is a new generative AI company that is democratizing the e-commerce space, by making it possible to place images of products in places that would previously require expensive photoshoots and editing. Throughout the conversation, Raj shares insights into the legal questions surrounding the rise of generative AI and potential ramifications of its widespread adoption. Raj and Corey also dig into the question, “Why were the big cloud providers beaten to the market by OpenAI?” Raj also shares his thoughts on why company culture has to be organic, and how he's hoping generative AI will move the needle for mom-and-pop businesses. About RajRaj Bala, formerly a VP, Analyst at Gartner, led the Magic Quadrant for Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Services since its inception and led the Magic Quadrant for IaaS before that.  He is deeply in-tune with market dynamics both in the US and Europe, but also extending to China, Africa and Latin America.  Raj is also a software developer and is capable of building and deploying scalable services on the cloud providers to which he wrote about as a Gartner analyst.  As such, Raj is now building Perspect, which is a SaaS offering at the intersection of AI and E-commerce.Raj's favorite language is Python and he is obsessed with making pizza and ice cream. Links Referenced:Perspect: https://perspect.com TranscriptAnnouncer: Hello, and welcome to Screaming in the Cloud with your host, Chief Cloud Economist at The Duckbill Group, Corey Quinn.

And my thanks to them for sponsor ing my ridiculous nonsense. Corey: Welcome to Screaming in the Cloud. I'm Corey Quinn. Back again, after a relatively brief point in time since the last time he was on, is Raj Bala. Formerly a VP analyst at Gartner, but now instead of talking about the past, we are talking, instead, about the future. Raj, welcome back. You're now the Founder at Perspect. What are you doing over there?Raj: I am indeed. I'm building a SaaS service around the generative AI space at the intersection of e-commerce. So, those two things are things that I'm interested in. And so, I'm building a SaaS offering in that space.Corey: This is the first episode in which we're having an in-depth discussion about generative AI. It's mostly been a topic that I've avoided because until now, relatively recently, it's all been very visual. And it turns into sort of the next generation's crappy version of Instagram, where, “Okay. Well, Instagram's down, so can you just describe your lunch to me?” It's not compelling to describe a generated image on an audio-based podcast. But with the advent of things like ChatGPT, where suddenly it's muscling into my realm, which is the written word, suddenly it feels like there's a lot more attention and effort being paid to it in a bunch of places where it wasn't getting a lot of coverage before, including this one. So, when you talk about generative AI, are you talking in the sense of visual, in terms of the written word, in terms of all of the above, and more? Where's your interest lie?Raj: I think it's all of the above and more. My interest is in all of it, but my focus right now is on the image aspect of things. I've been pretty knee-deep in stable diffusion and all the things that it entails, and it is largely about images at this point.Corey: So, talk to me more about how you're building something that stands between the intersection of e-commerce and generative AI. Because when I go to perspect.com, I'm not staring at a web store in the traditional sense. I'm looking at something that—again, early days, I'm not judging you based upon the content of your landing page—but it does present as a bit more of a developer tool and a little bit less of a “look how pretty it is.”Raj: Yeah. It's very much a developer-focused e-commerce offering. So, as a software developer, if you want programmatic access to all things e-commerce and generative AI that are related to e-commerce, you can do that on perspect.com. So, yeah. It is about taking images of products and being able to put them in AI-generated places essentially.Corey: Got it. So, effectively you're trying to sell, I don't know, titanium jewelry for the sake of argument. And you're talking about now you can place it on a generated model's hand to display this rather than having to either fake it or alternately have a whole bunch of very expensive product shoots and modeling sessions.Raj: Exactly. Exactly. If you want to put this piece of jewelry in front of the Eiffel Tower or the Pyramids of Giza, you can do that in a few seconds as opposed to the expensive photo shoots that were once required.Corey: On some level, given that I spend most of my time kicking around various SaaS products, I kind of love the idea of stock photography modeling, I don't know, Datadog or whatnot. I don't know how that would even begin to pan out, but I'm totally here for it.Raj: That's funny.Corey: Now, the hard part that I'm seeing right now is—I mean, you used to work at Gartner for years.Raj: I did.Corey: You folks are the origin of the Gartner-hype cycle. And given all the breathless enthusiasm, massive amounts of attention, and frankly, hilarious, more than a little horrifying, missteps that we start seeing in public, it feels like we are very much in the heady early days of hype around generative AI.Raj: No doubt about it. No doubt about it. But just thinking about what's possible and what is being accomplished even week to week in this space is just mind-blowing. I mean, this stuff didn't exist really six months ago. And now, the open-source frameworks are out there. The ecosystems are developing around it. A lot of people have compared generative AI to the iPhone. And I think it's actually maybe bigger than that. It's more internet-scale disruption, not just a single device like the iPhone.Corey: It's one of those things that I have the sneaking suspicion is going to start showing up in a whole bunch of different places, manifesting in a whole host of different ways. I've been watching academia, largely, freak out about the idea that, “Well, kids are using it to cheat on their homework.” Okay. I understand the position that they're coming from. But it seems like whenever a new technology is unleashed on the world, that is the immediate, instantaneous, reflexive blowback—not necessarily picking on academics, in particular—but rather, the way that we've always done something is now potentially very easy to use thanks to this advance in technology. “Oh, crap. What do we do?” And there's usually a bunch of scurrying around in futile attempts to put the genie back in the bottle, which frankly, never works. And you also see folks trying to sprint, to sort of keep up with this. And it never really pans out. Society adapts, adjusts, and evolves. And I don't think that that's an inherently terrible thing.Raj: I don't think so either. I mean, the same thing existed with the calculator, right? Do you remember early days in school, they said you can't use a calculator, right? And—Corey: Because remember you will not have a calculator in your pocket as you go through life. Well, that was a lie.Raj: But during the test—during the test that you have to take, you will not have a calculator. And when the rubber meets the road in person during that test, you're going to have to show your skills. And the same thing will happen here. We'll just have to have ground rules and ways to check and balance whether people are cheating or not and adapt, just like you said.Corey: On some level, you're only really cheating yourself past a certain point.Raj: Exactly.Corey: There's value in being able to tell a story in a cohesive, understandable way.Raj: Absolutely.Corey: Oh, the computer will do it for me. And I don't know that you can necessarily depend on that.Raj: Absolutely. Absolutely. You have to understand more than just the inputs and outputs. You have to understand the black box in between enough to show that you understand the subject.Corey: One thing that I find interesting is the position of the cloud providers in this entire—Raj: Mm-hmm.Corey: —space. We have Google, who has had a bunch of execs talking about how they've been working on this internally for years. Like you get how that makes you look worse instead of better, right? Like they're effectively tripping over one another on LinkedIn to talk about how they've been working on this for such a long time, and they have something just like it. Well, yeah. Okay. You got beaten to market by a company less than a decade old.Azure has partnered with OpenAI and brought a lot of this to Bing so rapidly they didn't have time to update their more of a Bing app away from the “Use Bing and earn Microsoft coins” nonsense. It's just wow. Talk about a—being caught flat-footed on this. And Amazon, of course, has said effectively nothing. The one even slightly generative AI service that they have come out with that I can think of that anyone could be forgiven for having missed is—they unleashed this one year at re:Invent's Midnight Madness where they had Dr. Matt Wood get on stage with the DeepComposer and play a little bit of a song. And it would, in turn, iterate on that. And that was the last time any of us ever really heard anything about the DeepComposer. I've got one on my shelf. And I do not hear about it mentioned even in passing other than in trivia contests.Raj: Yeah. It's pretty fascinating. Amazon with all their might, and AWS in particular—I mean, AWS has Alexa, and so they've—the thing you give to Alexa is a prompt, right? I mean, it is generative AI in a large way. You're feeding it a prompt and saying do something. And it spits out something tokenized to you. But the fact that OpenAI has upended all of these companies I think is massive. And it tells us something else about Microsoft too is that they didn't have the wherewithal integrally to really compete themselves. They had to do it with someone else, right? They couldn't muster up the effort to really build this themselves. They had to use OpenAI.Corey: On some level, it's a great time to be a cloud provider because all of these experiments are taking place on top of a whole bunch of very expensive, very specific compute.Raj: Sure.Corey: But that is necessary but not sufficient as we look at it across the board. Because even AWS's own machine-learning powered services, it's only relatively recently that they seemed to have gotten above the “Step one, get a PhD in this stuff. Step two, here's all the nuts and bolts you have to understand about how to build machine-learning models.” Whereas the thing that's really caused OpenAI's stuff to proliferate in the public awareness is, “Okay. You got to a webpage, and you tell it what to draw, and it draws the thing.” Or “go ahead and rename an AWS service if the naming manager had a sense of creativity and a slight bit of whimsy.” And it comes out with names that are six times better than anything AWS has ever come out with.Raj: So, funny. I saw your tweet on that actually. Yeah. If you want to do generative AI on AWS today, it is hard. Oh, my gosh. That's if you can get the capacity. That's if you can get the GPU capacity. That's if you can put together the ML ops necessary to make it all happen. It is extremely hard. Yeah, so putting stuff into a chat interface is 1,000 times easier. I mean, doing something like containers on GPUs is just massively difficult in the cloud today.Corey: It's hard to get them in many cases as well. I had customers that asked, “Okay. What special preferential treatment can we get to get access to more GPUs?” It's like can you break the laws of physics or change global supply chain because if so, great. You've got this unlocked. Otherwise, good luck.Raj: I think us-east-2 a couple weeks ago for like the entire week was out of the GPU capacity necessary the entire week.Corey: I haven't been really tracking a lot of the GPU-specific stuff. Do you happen to know what a lot of OpenAI's stuff is built on top of from a vendoring perspective?Raj: I mean, it's got to be Nvidia, right? Is that what you're asking me?Corey: Yeah. I'm—I don't know a lot of the—again, this is not my area.Raj: Yeah, yeah.Corey: I am not particularly deep in the differences between the various silicon manufacturers. I know that AWS has their Inferentia chipset that's named after something that sounds like what my grandfather had. You've got a bunch of AMD stuff coming out. You've have—Intel's been in this space for a while. But Nvidia has sort of been the gold standard based upon GPU stories. So, I would assume it's Nvidia.Raj: At this point, they're the only game in town. No one else matters. The frameworks simply don't support anything other than Nvidia. So, in fact, OpenAI—them and Facebook—they are kind of leading some—a bunch of the open-source right now. So, it's—Stability AI, Hugging Face, OpenAI, Facebook, and all their stuff is dependent on Nvidia. None of it—if you look through the source code, none of it really relies on Inferentia or Trainium or AMD or Intel. It's all Nvidia.Corey: As you look across the current landscape—at least—let me rephrase that. As I look across the current landscape, I am very hard-pressed to identify any company except probably OpenAI itself as doing anything other than falling all over itself having been caught—what feels like—completely flat-footed. We've seen announcements rushed. We've seen people talking breathlessly about things that are not yet actively available. When does that stop? When do we start to see a little bit of thought and consideration put into a lot of the things that are being rolled out, as opposed to “We're going to roll this out as an assistant now to our search engine” and then having to immediately turn it off because it becomes deeply and disturbingly problematic in how it responds to a lot of things?Raj: You mean Sam Altman saying he's got a lodge in Montana with a cache of firearms in case AI gets out of control? You mean that doesn't alarm you in any way?Corey: A little bit. Just a little bit. And like even now you're trying to do things that, to be clear, I am not trying to push the boundaries of these things. But all right. Write a limerick about Elon Musk hurling money at things that are ridiculous. Like, I am not going to make fun of individual people. It's like I get that. But there is a punching-up story around these things. Like, you also want to make sure that's it not “Write a limerick about the disgusting habit of my sixth-grade classmate.” Like, you don't want to, basically, automate the process of cyber-bullying. Let's be clear here. But finding that nuance, it's a societal thing to wrestle with, on some level. But I think that we're anywhere near having cohesive ideas around it.Raj: Yeah. I mean, this stuff is going to be used for nefarious ways. And it's beyond just cyberbullying, too. I think nation-states are going to use this stuff to—as a way to create disinformation. I mean, if we saw a huge flux of disinformation in 2020, just imagine what's going to happen in 2024 with AI-generated disinformation. That's going to be off the charts.Corey: It'll be at a point where you fundamentally have to go back to explicitly trusted sources as opposed to, “Well, I saw a photo of it or a video of it” or someone getting onstage and dancing about it. Well, all those things can be generated now for, effectively, pennies.Raj: I mean, think about evidence in a courtroom now. If I can generate an image of myself holding a gun to someone's head, you have to essentially dismiss all sorts of photographic evidence or video evidence soon enough in court because you can't trust the authenticity of it.Corey: It makes providence and chain-of-custody issues far more important than they were before. And it was still a big deal. Photoshop has been around for a while. And I remember thinking when I was younger, “I wonder how long it'll be until videos become the next evolution of this.” Because there was—we got to a point fairly early on in my life where you couldn't necessarily take a photograph at face value anymore because—I mean, look at some of the special effects we see in movies. Yeah, okay. Theoretically, someone could come up with an incredibly convincing fake of whatever it is that they're trying to show. But back then, it required massive render farms and significant investment to really want to screw someone over. Now, it requires drinking a couple glasses of wine, going on the internet late at night, navigating to the OpenAI webpage, and typing in the right prompt. Maybe you iterate on it a little bit, and it spits it out for basically free.Raj: That's one of the sectors, actually, that's going to adopt this stuff the soonest. It's happening now, the film and movie industry. Stability AI actually has a film director on staff. And his job is to be sort of the liaison to Hollywood. And they're going to help build AI solutions into films and so forth. So, yeah. But that's happening now.Corey: One of the more amazing things that I've seen has been the idea of generative voice where it used to be that in order to get an even halfway acceptable model of someone's voice, they had to read a script for the better part of an hour. That—and they had to make sure that they did it with certain inflection points and certain tones. Now, you can train these things on, “All right. Great. Here's this person just talking for ten minutes. Here you go.” And the reason I know this—maybe I shouldn't be disclosing this as publicly as I am, but the heck with it. We've had one of me on backup that we've used intermittently on those rare occasions when I'm traveling, don't have my recording setup with me, and this needs to go out in a short time period. And we've used it probably a dozen times over the course of the 400 and some odd episodes we've done. One person has ever noticed.Raj: Wow.Corey: Now, having a conversation going back and forth, start pairing some of those better models with something like ChatGPT, and basically, you're building your own best friend.Raj: Yeah. I mean, soon enough you'll be able to do video AI, completely AI-generated of your podcast perhaps.Corey: That would be kind of wild, on some level. Like now we're going to animate the whole thing.Raj: Yeah.Corey: Like I still feel like we need more action sequences. Don't know about you, but I don't have quite the flexibility I did when I was younger. I can't very well even do a pratfall without wondering if I just broke a hip.Raj: You can have an action sequence where you kick off a CloudFormation task. How about that?Corey: One area where I have found that generative text AI, at least, has been lackluster, has been right a parody of the following song around these particular dimensions. Their meter is off. Their—the cleverness is missing.Raj: Hmm.Corey: They at least understand what a parody is and they understand the lyrics of the song, but they're still a few iterative generations away. That said, I don't want to besmirch the work of people who put into these things. They are basically—Raj: Mm-hmm.Corey: —magic.Raj: For sure. Absolutely. I mean, I'm in wonderment of some of the artwork that I'm able to generate with generative AI. I mean, it is absolutely awe-inspiring. No doubt about it.Corey: So, what's gotten you excited about pairing this specifically with e-commerce? That seems like an odd couple to wind up smashing together. But you have had one of the best perspectives on this industry for a long time now. So, my question is not, “What's wrong with you?” But rather, “What are you seeing that I'm missing?”Raj: I think it's the biggest opportunity from an impact perspective. Generating AI avatars of yourself is pretty cool. But ultimately, I think that's a pretty small market. I think the biggest market you can go after right now is e-commerce in the generative AI space. I think that's the one that's going to move the needle for a lot of people. So, it's a big opportunity for one. I think there are interesting things you can do in it. The technical aspects are equally interesting. So, you know, there are a handful of compelling things that draw me to it.Corey: I think you're right. There's a lot of interest and a lot of energy and a lot of focus built around a lot of the neat, flashy stuff. But it's “Okay. How does this windup serving problems that people will pay money for?” Like right now to get early access to ChatGPT and not get rate-limited out, I'm paying them 20 bucks a month which, fine, whatever. I am also in a somewhat privileged position. If you're generating profile photos that same way, people are going to be very hard-pressed to wind up paying more than a couple bucks for it. That's not where the money is. But solving business problems—and I think you're onto something with the idea of generative photography of products that are for sale—that has the potential to be incredibly lucrative. It tackles what to most folks is relatively boring, if I can say that, as far as business problems go. And that's often where a lot of value is locked away.Raj: I mean, in a way, you can think of generative AI in this space as similar to what cloud providers themselves do. So, the cloud providers themselves afforded much smaller entities the ability to provision large-scale infrastructure without high fixed costs. And in some ways, I know the same applies to this space too. So, now mom-and-pop shop-type people will be able to generate interesting product photos without high fixed costs of photoshoots and Photoshop and so forth. And so, I think in some ways it helps to democratize some of the bigger tools that people have had access to.Corey: That's really what it comes down to is these technologies have existed in labs, at least, for a little while. But now, they're really coming out as interesting, I guess, technical demos, for lack of a better term. But the entire general public is having access to these things. There's not the requirement that we wind up investing an enormous pile of money in custom hardware and the rest. It feels evocative of the revolution that was cloud computing in its early days. Where suddenly, if I have an idea, I don't need either build it on a crappy computer under my desk or go buy a bunch of servers and wait eight weeks for them to show up in a rack somewhere. I can just start kicking the tires on it immediately. It's about democratizing access. That, I think, is the magic pill here.Raj: Exactly. And the entry point for people who want to do this as a business, so like me, it is a huge hurdle still to get this stuff running, lots of jagged edges, lots of difficulty. And I think that ultimately is going to dissuade huge segments of the population from doing it themselves. They're going to want completed services. They're going to want finish product, at least in some consumable form, for their persona.Corey: What do you think the shaking out of this is going to look like from a cultural perspective? I know that right now everyone's excited, both in terms of excited about the possibility and shrieking that the sky is falling, that is fairly normal for technical cycles. What does the next phase look like?Raj: The next phase, unfortunately, is probably going to be a lot of litigation. I think there's a lot of that on the horizon already. Right? Stability AI's being sued. I think the courts are going to have to decide, is this stuff above board? You know, the fact that these models have been trained on otherwise copywritten data—copywritten images and music and so forth, that amounts to billions of parameters. How does that translate—how does that affect ages of intellectual property law? I think that's a question that—it's an open question. And I don't think we know.Corey: Yeah. I wish, on some level, that we could avoid a lot of the unpleasantness. But you're right. It's going to come down to a lot of litigation, some of which clearly has a point, on some level.Raj: For sure.Corey: But it's a—but that is, frankly, a matter for the courts. I'm privileged that I don't have to sit here and worry about this in quite the same way because I am not someone who makes the majority of my income through my creative works. And I am also not on the other side of it where I've taken a bunch of other people's creative output and use that to train a bunch of models. So, I'm very curious to know how that is going to shake out as a society.Raj: Yeah.Corey: I think that regulation is also almost certainly on the horizon, on some level. I think that tech has basically burned through 25 years of goodwill at this point. And nobody trusts them to self-regulate. And based upon their track record, I don't think they should.Raj: And interestingly, I think that's actually why Google was caught so flat-footed. Google was so afraid of the ramifications of being first and the downside optics of that, that they got a little complacent. And so, they weren't sure how the market would react to saying, “Here's this company that's known for doing lots of, you know, kind of crazy things with people's data. And suddenly they come out with this AI thing that has these huge superpowers.” And how does that reflect poorly on them? But it ended up reflecting poorly on them anyway because they ended up being viewed as being very, very late to market. So, yeah. They got pie on their face one way or the other.Corey: For better or worse, that's going to be one of those things that haunts them. This is the classic example of the innovator's dilemma. By becoming so focused on avoiding downside risk and revenue protection, they effectively let their lunch get eaten. I don't know that there was another choice that they could've made. I'm not sitting here saying, “That's why they're foolish.” But it's painful. If I'm—I'm in the same position right now. If I decide I want to launch something new and exciting, my downside risk is fairly capped. The world is my theoretical oyster. Same with most small companies. I don't know about you, what do you right now as a founder, but over here at The Duckbill Group, at no point in the entire history of this company, going back six years now, have we ever sat down for a discussion around, “Okay. If we succeed at this, what are the antitrust implications?” It has never been on our roadmap. It's—that's very firmly in the category of great problems to have.Raj: Really confident companies will eat their own lunch. So, you in fact see AWS do this all the time.Corey: Yes.Raj: They will have no problem disrupting themselves. And they're lots of data points we can talk about to show this. They will disrupt themselves first because they're afraid of someone else doing it before them.Corey: And it makes perfect sense. Amazon has always had a—I'd call it a strange culture, but that doesn't do it enough of a service just because it feels like compared to virtually any other company on the planet, they may as well be an alien organism that has been dropped into the world here. And we see a fair number of times where folks have left Amazon, and they wind up being so immersed in that culture, that they go somewhere else, and “Ah, I'm just going to bring the leadership principles with me.” And it doesn't work that way. A lot of them do not pan out outside of the very specific culture that Amazon has fostered. Now, I'm not saying that they're good or that they're bad. But it is a uniquely Amazonian culture that they have going on there. And those leadership principles are a key part of it. You can transplant that in the same way to other companies.Raj: Can I tell you one of the funniest things one of these cloud providers has said to me? I'm not going to mention the cloud provider. You may be able to figure out which one anyway, though.Corey: No. I suspect I have a laundry list to go out of these various, ridiculous things I have heard from companies. Please, I am always willing to add to the list. Hit me with it.Raj: So, a cloud provider—a big cloud provider, mine you—told me that they wanted Amazon's culture so bad that they began a thing where during a meeting—before each meeting, everyone would sit quietly and read a paper that was written by someone in the room so they all got on the same page. And that is distinctly an Amazon thing, right? And this is not Amazon that is doing this. This is some other cloud provider. So, people are so desperate for that bit of weirdness that you mentioned inside of Amazon, that they're willing to replicate some of the movements and the behaviors whole cloth hoping that they can get that same level of culture. But it has to be—it has to be organic. And it has to be at the root. You can't just take an arm and stick it onto a body and expect it to work, right?Corey: My last real job before I started this place was at a small, scrappy startup for three months. And then we were bought by an enormous financial company. And one of their stated reasons for doing it was, “Well, we really admire a lot of your startup culture, and we want to, basically, socialize that and adopt that where we are.” Spoiler. This did not happen. It was more or less coming from a perspective, “Well, we visited your offices, and we saw that you had bikes in the entryway and dogs in the office. And well, we went back to our office, and we threw in some bikes and added some dogs, but we didn't get any different result. What's the story here?” It's—you cannot cargo cult bits and pieces of a culture. It has to be something holistic. And let's be clear, you're only ever going to be second best at being another company. They're going to be first place. We saw this a lot in the early-2000s of “We're going to be the next Yahoo.” It's—why would I care about that? We already have original Yahoo. The fortune's faded, but here we are.Raj: Yeah. Agreed.Corey: On our last recording, you mentioned that you would be building this out on top of AWS. Is that how it's panned out? You still are?Raj: For the most part. For the most part. I've dipped my toes into trying to use GPU capacity elsewhere, using things like ECS Anywhere, which is an interesting route. There's some promise there, but there's still lots of jagged edges there too. But for the most part, there's not another cloud provider that really has everything I need from GPU capacity to serverless functions at the edge, to CDNs, to SQL databases. That's actually a pretty disparate set of things. And there's not another cloud provider that has literally all of that except AWS at this point.Corey: So far, positive experience or annoying? Let's put it that way.Raj: Some of it's really, really hard. So, like doing GPUs with generative AI, with containers for instance, is still really, really hard. And the documentation is almost nonexistent. The documentation is wrong. I've actually submitted pull requests to fix AWS documentation because a bunch of it is just wrong. So, yeah. It's hard. Some of it's really easy. Some it's really difficult.Corey: I really want to thank you for taking time to speak about what you're up to over at Perspect. Where can people go to learn more?Raj: www.perspect.com.Corey: And we will of course put a link to that in the [show notes 00:30:02]. Thank you so much for being so generous with your time. I appreciate it.Raj: Any time, Corey.Corey: Raj Bala, Founder at Perspect. I'm Cloud Economist Corey Quinn. And this is Screaming in the Cloud.

Computing has totally changed how people buy and experience travel. That process seemed to start with sites that made it easy to book travel, but as with most things we experience in our modern lives, it actually began far sooner and moved down-market as generations of computing led to more consumer options for desktops, the internet, and the convergence of these technologies. Systems like SABRE did the original work to re-think travel - to take logic and rules out of the heads of booking and travel agents and put them into a digital medium. In so doing, they paved the way for future generations of technology and to this day retain a valuation of over $2 billion.   SABRE is short for Semi-Automated Business Research Environment. It's used to manage over a third of global travel, to the tune of over a quarter trillion US dollars a year. It's used by travel agencies and travel services to reserve car rentals, flights, hotel rooms, and tours. Since Sabre was released services like Amadeus and Travelport were created to give the world a Global Distribution System, or GDS.    Passenger air travel began when airlines ferrying passengers cropped up in 1914 but the big companies began in the 1920s, with KLM in 1919, Finnair in 1923, Delta in 1925, American Airlines and Ryan Air in 1926,  Pan American in 1927, and the list goes on. They grew quickly and by 1926 the Air Commerce Act led to a new department in the government called Air Commerce, which evolved into the FAA, or Federal Aviation Administration in the US. And each country, given the possible dangers these aircraft posed as they got bigger and loaded with more and more fuel, also had their own such departments. The aviation industry blossomed in the roaring 20s as people traveled and found romance and vacation. At the time, most airlines were somewhat regional and people found travel agents to help them along their journey to book travel, lodgings, and often food. The travel agent naturally took over air travel much as they'd handled sea travel before.  But there were dangers in traveling in those years between the two World Wars. Nazis rising to power in Germany, Mussolini in Italy, communist cleansings in Russia and China. Yet, a trip to the Great Pyramid of Giza could now be a week instead of months. Following World War II, there was a fracture in the world between Eastern and Western powers, or those who aligned with the former British empire and those who aligned with the former Russian empire, now known as the Soviet Union. Travel within the West exploded as those areas were usually safe and often happy to accept the US dollar. Commercial air travel boomed not just for the wealthy, but for all. People had their own phones now, and could look up a phone number in a phone book and call a travel agent.  The travel agents then spent hours trying to build the right travel package. That meant time on the phone with hotels and time on the phone with airlines. Airlines like American head. To hire larger and larger call centers of humans to help find flights. We didn't just read about Paris, we wanted to go. Wars had connected the world and now people wanted to visit the places they'd previously just seen in art books or read about in history books. But those call centers grew. A company like American Airlines couldn't handle all of its ticketing needs and the story goes that the CEO was sitting beside a seller from IBM when they came up with the idea of a computerized reservation system. And so SABRE was born in the 1950s, when American  Airlines agreed to develop a real-time computing platform. Here, we see people calling in and pressing buttons to run commands on computers. The tones weren't that different than a punch card, really. The system worked well enough for American that they decided to sell access to other firms. The computers used were based loosely after the IBM mainframes used in the SAGE missile air defense system. Here we see the commercial impacts of the AN/FSQ-7 the US government hired IBM to build as IBM added the transistorized options to the IBM 704 mainframe in 1955. That gave IBM the interactive computing technology that evolved into the 7000 series mainframes.  Now that IBM had the interactive technology, and a thorough study had been done to evaluate the costs and impacts of a new reservation system, American and IBM signed a contract to build the system in 1957. They went live to test reservation booking shortly thereafter. But it turns out there was a much bigger opportunity here. See, American and other airlines had paper processes to track how many people were on a flight and quickly find open seats for passengers, but it could take an hour or three to book tickets. This was fairly common before software ate the world. Everything from standing in line at the bank, booking dinner at a restaurant, reserving a rental car, booking hotel rooms, and the list goes on.  There were a lot of manual processes in the world - people weren't just going to punch holes in a card to program their own flight and wait for some drum storage to tell them if there was an available seat. That was the plan American initially had in 1952 with the Magnetronic Reservisor. That never worked out. American had grown to one of the largest airlines and knew the perils and costs of developing software and hardware like this. Their system cost $40 million in 1950s money to build with IBM. They also knew that as other airlines grew to accommodate more people flying around the world, that the more flights, the longer that hour or three took. So they should of course sell the solution they built to other airlines.  Thus, parlaying the SAGE name, famous as a Cold War shield against the nuclear winter, Sabre Corporation began. It was fairly simple at first, with a pair of IBM 7090 mainframes that could take over 80,000 calls a day in 1960. Some travel agents weren't fans of the new system, but those who embraced it found they could get more done in less time. Sabre sold reservation systems to airlines and soon expanded to become the largest data-processor in the world. Far better than the Reservisor would have been and now able to help bring the whole world into the age of jet airplane travel. That exploded to thousands of flights an hour in the 1960s and even turned over all booking to the computer. The system got busy and over the years IBM upgraded the computers to the S/360. They also began to lease systems to travel agencies in the 1970s after Max Hopper joined the company and began the plan to open up the platform as TWA had done with their PARS system. Then they went international, opened service bureaus in other cities (given that we once had to pay for a toll charge to call a number). And by the 1980s Sabre was how the travel agents booked flights. The 1980s brought easysabjre, so people could use their own computers to book flights and by then - and through to the modern era, a little over a third of all reservations are made on Sabre. By the mid-1980s, United had their own system called Apollo, Delta had one called Datas, and other airlines had their own as well. But SABRE could be made to be airline neutral. IBM had been involved with many American competitors, developing Deltamatic for Delta, PANAMAC for Pan Am, and other systems. But SABRE could be hooked to thee new online services for a whole new way to connect systems. One of these was CompuServe in 1980, then Prodigy's GEnie and AOL as we turned the corner into the 1990s. Then they started a site called Travelocity in 1996 which was later sold to Expedia.  In the meantime, they got serious competition, which eventually led to a slew of acquisitions to remain compeititve. The competition included Amadeus, Galileo International, and Worldspan on provider in the Travelport GDS. The first of them originated from United Airlines, and by 1987 was joined by Aer Lingus, Air Portugal, Alitalia, British Airways, KLM, Olympic, Sabena, and Swissair to create Galileo, which was then merged with the Apollo reservation system. The technology was acquired through a company called Videcom International, which initially started developing reservation software in 1972, shortly after the Apollo and Datas services went online. They focused on travel agents and branched out into reservation systems of all sorts in the 1980s. As other systems arose they provided an aggregation to them by connecting to Amadeus, Galileo, and Worldspan. Amadeus was created in 1987 to be a neutral GDS after the issues with Sabre directing reservations to American Airlines. That was through a consortium of Air France, Iberia, Lufthansa, and SAS. They acquired the assets of the bankrupt System One and they eventually added other travel options including hotels, cars rentals, travel insurance, and other amenities. They went public in 1999 just before Sabre did and then were also taken private just before Sabre was.  Worldspan was created in 1990 and the result of merging or interconnecting the systems of  Delta, Northwest Airlines, and TWA, which was then acquired by Travelport in 2007. By then, SABRE had their own programming languages. While the original Sabre languages were written in assembly, they wrote their own language on top of C and C++ called SabreTalk and later transitioned to standard REST endpoints. They also weren't a part of American any longer. There were too many problems with manipulating how flights were displayed to benefit American Airlines and they had to make a clean cut. Especially after Congress got involved in the 1980s and outlawed that type of bias for screen placement.  Now that they were a standalone company, Sabre went public then was taken private by private equity firms in 2007, and relisted on NASDAQ in 2014. Meanwhile, travel aggregators had figured out they could hook into the GDS systems and sell discount airfare without a percentage going to travel agents. Now that the GDS systems weren't a part of the airlines, they were able to put downward pressure on prices. Hotwire, which used Sabre and a couple of other systems, and TripAdvisor, which booked travel through Sabre and Amadeus, were created in 2000 and Microsoft launched Expedia in 1996, which had done well enough to get spun off into its own public company by 2000. Travelocity operated inside Sabre until sold, and so the airlines put together a site of their own that they called Orbitz, which in 2001 was the biggest e-commerce site to have ever launched. And out of the bursting of the dot com bubble came online travel bookings. Kayak came in 2004 Sabre later sold Travelocity to Expedia, which uses Sabre to book travel. That allowed Sabre to focus on providing the back end travel technology. They now do over $4 billion in revenue in their industry. American Express had handled travel for decades but also added flights and hotels to their site, integrating with Sabre and Amadeus as well.  Here, we see a classic paradigm in play. First the airlines moved their travel bookings from paper filing systems to isolated computer systems - what we'd call mainframes today. The airlines then rethink the paradigm and aggregate other information into a single system, or a system intermixed with other data. In short, they enriched the data. Then we expose those as APIs to further remove human labor and put systems on assembly lines. Sites hook into those and the GDS systems, as with many aggregators, get spun off into their own companies. The aggregated information then benefits consumers (in this case travelers) with more options and cheaper fares. This helps counteract the centralization of the market where airlines acquire other airlines but in some way also cheapen the experience. Gone are the days when a travel agent guides us through our budgets and helps us build a killer itinerary. But in a way that just makes travel much more adventurous.           

From Vasie -Growing up in a first-generation Greek immigrant family in Canada, those terms never meant much as a child. My family did the occasional trip to Greece to see family and keep our heritage strong, but other than that, the means weren't there to be a traveler of the world. I don't think I ever flew on a plane the whole of my high school years. But I lived in a world of exploration and deep fascination of that around me. I had a singular obsession of reading every copy of my father's monthly National Geographic magazines; a collection I still have today. I lived in the worlds of Jules Verne and Jacques Cousteau, looking at places on the world map and wondering what Machu Picchu or the Great Pyramids of Giza looked like up close. While nomadic travel didn't figure into my early life much, the history of my family said otherwise. My great-grandparents were descendants of Asia Minor in Turkey. In 1922, they went from from Samsun, Turkey to a small village in Northern Greece, called Pentavriso. And then my grandparents and parents all left Greece for Canada. Within 3 generations, my family spanned 3 countries. It seems through circumstance and history I was meant to be a nomadic traveler. In 2008, I purchased my real first camera - a Canon Xsi. I had no formal training in photography, but decided to teach myself. Now, my photos can be seen on Getty Images and one of them was featured in a National Geographic Ted Talks publication in 2017 - which essentially will be the pinnacle of my photography. Podcast website:www.campfirecapitalism.comApple Podcast:https://apple.co/3IdEL7ASpotify Podcast:https://spoti.fi/3rlhkSYGoogle Podcast:https://bit.ly/3A8dlgyRSS:https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1904686.rssSOCIAL:Twitter: https://twitter.com/iamdesmonddixonLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/campfire-capitalism/?viewAsMember=trueFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Campfire-Capitalism-103501098870849Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/campfirecapitalism/Support on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/campfirecapitalismSOCIAL: Twitter: https://twitter.com/iamdesmonddixon LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/campfire-capitalism/?viewAsMember=true Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Campfire-Capitalism-103501098870849 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/campfirecapitalism/ Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/campfirecapitalism

We slammed a $330-million spaceship the size of a dairy cow into an asteroid the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Here’s what we’re learning about how our first step in planetary defense could save us in the future.

Elena Danaan, a former professional French archeologist, discusses the March 2, 2023, announcement of a new chamber found in the Great Pyramid of Giza and what kinds of ancient artifacts might be found there. She explains that Dr. Zahi Hawass, the former leader of Egypt's antiquities department, has for decades been muzzled by Freemasons from revealing the true extent of the advanced technologies and artifacts discovered under the Giza complex. In a press conference on the new chamber, Hawass hinted at the fabulous artifacts that the chamber may lead. Danaan reflects on the significance of the new pyramid chamber announcement with what her extraterrestrial contacts told her about major rediscoveries of Earth's ancient history that are on the way in 2023 and how these would involve the pyramids. In this Exopolitics Today interview, Danaan also comments on a January 7, 2023, meeting at the Raven Rock Mountain Complex attended by Thor Han Eredyon, where he passed on a disclosure plan developed by the Galactic Federation of Worlds to General Glen VanHerck, head of NORAD and US Northern Command. She explained why the plan had to be delivered person-to-person and shared her analysis of its contents. Danaan asserts that recent events, such as the multiple UFO shootdowns in the US and Donald Trump's March 4 speech about flying cars, are part of the disclosure plan. She also discusses a February 8, 2023, update by the US Army insider JP, who revealed how his team was led by a 7 feet tall Nordic-looking individual named Jaseet, into an underground city and an extraterrestrial spaceport in Florida. JP identified a strong vanilla scent around these structures and plans for future flyovers of hundreds of flying saucer craft. Danaan says the vanilla scent is very likely associated with the national flower of the Errahel (aka Ahel) civilization from the planet Erra in the Taygeta system of the Pleiades constellation, and that the name Jaseet is a common Errahel name. Dr Michael Salla points out how the above developments and other events corroborate Danaan's remarkable revelations from her Galactic Federation of Worlds sources. For a full list of corroborating data for her revelations that has been compiled by Disclosure Project witness, Dan Willis, see: https://tinyurl.com/muabbam3 Finally, Elena Danaan discusses her upcoming March 19 webinar on Crowdcast.

The meeting fails to produce a joint statement, as US and Russia clash over Ukraine. Also: there's growing anger in Greece after the country's worst ever train crash, and Egyptian archaeologists are celebrating the discovery of a hidden tunnel in the Great Pyramid of Giza.

The Giza Death StarThis is physicist Joseph Farrellis' amazing book on the secrets of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Among the topics discussed in detail in this fantastic book are: An Archaeology of Mass Destruction, Thoth and Theories; The Machine Hypothesis; Pythagoras, Plato, Planck, and the Pyramid; The Weapon Hypothesis; Encoded Harmonics of the Planck Units in the Great Pyramid; The Grand Gallery and its Crystals: Gravito-acoustic Resonators; The Other Two Large Pyramds, the 'Causeways', and the 'Temples'. Also: A Phase Conjugate Howitzer Evidence of the Use of Weapons of Mass Destruction in Ancient Times; High Frequency Direct Current 'Impulse' Technology; How the Giza Death Star worked. This book takes off where Christopher Dunn's 'The Giza Power Plant' left off. It is a rollicking ride into the world of fantastic science and an even more fantastic past that is just beginning to be imagined!Joseph P. Farrell was born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota in 1957, has a B.A. in Biblical Studies and Philosophy, an M.A. in Historical and Theological Studies, and a Ph.D. in Patristics. After a lifelong interest in alternative history, science, and a fascination for ancient texts, Joseph started writing in 2001 on these subjects. He also studied pipe organ from the age of six until beginning college, and composes classical music for friends and family. He also plays the harpsichord.

Why did the people who wrote in Greek, Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, or Aramaic in antiquity never find cause to write about the Sumerian Anunnaki gods as such? Gilgamesh was mentioned early on, the pre-flood Sumerian kings also, but not the Anunnaki, a name that was first offered up by academia and later made famous by Zechariah Sitchin. Why were the Anunnaki ignored by all until the rediscovery of the earliest written language, that of Mesopotamia, in the 19th century?In 1970, a reputed philologist, John Marco Allegro, made two highly unorthodox and controversial claims in his book, THE SACRED MUSHROOM AND THE CROSS. He asserted that the name of Jesus was taken from that of a mushroom with mind-altering properties, and that Sumerian was not only the source of the biblical name but more generally provided the missing link between later languages.Along with the academic translations, Sitchin and Allegro are the two main sources of all our Sumerian food for thought - until now. What might a fresh perspective on the Sumerian language tell us about the Anunnaki and those names that have come down to us through the myths of Ancient Greece and Egypt, the biblical texts or the history books? About Atlantis, about the Gnostics and the Pagans, Moses, Osiris, Jesus, Odysseus, Jonah and the Whale, Mesopotamia and Tammuz to name just a few?LOST STONES OF THE ANUNNAKI brings back to life the important words and meanings that have been glossed over, missed or misinterpreted in modern times. Following on from the retranslation of the earliest literary text dated to ca.2600 BC, known as THE INSTRUCTIONS OF SHURUPPAK and renamed THE STORY OF SUKURRU to better fit the narrative discovered there, this book makes use of lines from that text but also other referenced Sumerian writings.It peels back the layers from assumptions and falsehoods made in both ancient and modern times concerning the origins of certain important names - the Sabians, the Chaldeans, Harran, Abraham - and looks for the truth in far older documents.It digs into messages hidden in the many riddles found on tablets from the Old Babylonian period of ca.1900-1600 BC.It looks into the meanings behind the multi-syllabic names on the antediluvian SUMERIAN KING LIST, casts an inquisitive eye over an ancient name of the Great Sphinx at Giza in Egypt, and asks a few pertinent questions of the Gobekli Tepe stones in the original language of that place.Based in orthodox lexicons studied through a monosyllabic lens where every word retains its inherent meaning, the book is entirely grounded in evidence; no unsubstantiated conjecture about our past proclaimed as truth, no self-serving, superficial interpretations of someone else's words, and most of all no insults to the Sumerian authors. LOST STONES OF THE ANUNNAKI pays homage to the intelligence of the original scribes. It was time. The evidence for Sumerian being suffused with subjects of great profundity and of relevance to later civilisations is overwhelming. To those who are interested in moving forward and getting to the truth, whatever it might be: Hold on to your hats.About Madeleine DainesAfter completing studies in both art history and linguistics and a career involving translating, Madeleine chose to investigate the Sumerian language from an innovative angle, with an emphasis on the earliest pre-cuneiform pictographic forms. What she discovered in that process led her to question and finally to refute the orthodox translation of an important literary text from the 3rd millennium BC.
