The Andys go through the best and most influential horror movies of the 21st century (so far) – this time it’s films from 2013. A Field in England – a folk horror set during the English civil war(!), and Oculus – a classic horror movie about a spooky mirror that is just really well done.

In this episode of The Good Robot, Eleanor Drage sits down with David Griffiths, founding director of the nonprofit Then Try This. Inspired by a childhood spent coding pixels next to his mother's traditional floor loom, Dave unpacks the deep historical links between textiles and programming, arguing that technology is never neutral and that true innovation relies on grassroots, participatory design.They explore brilliant local projects like Sonic Kayaks, which use underwater soundscapes to map marine data for visually impaired paddlers, and Nurgle, an accessible game tracking public health trends using specialized audio cues. Finally, they reveal the hidden, feminist histories of computing, showing how modern microchips directly owe their legacy to the complex creativity of Navajo weavers. Tune in to discover why the future of tech belongs to frugal, community-led innovations rather than just the next iteration of GPT.Reading List:Then Try ThisIndigenous Circuits: Navajo Women and the Racialization of Early Electronic ManufactureQueer In AI: A Case Study in Community-Led Participatory AI Sensing Bodies: Engaging Postcolonial Histories through More-than-Human InteractionsEdited by: Meibel Dabodabo

The Andys go through the best and most influential horror movies of the 21st century (so far) – this time it’s films from 2012. We promise these ones are actual horror movies: Berberian Sound Studio – Toby Jones in a surprising role, V/H/S (specifically the segment called “Anthology”) – a shocking and satisfying splatter fest and Sinister – a highly atmospheric movie with great acting that really knows how to end.

The Andys go through the best and most influential horror movies of the 21st century (so far). One of our most-featured directors is back: Darren Aronofsky, this time with Black Swan, and a remake of a film by one of our other favourite directors, George A. Romero, The Crazies. Andy C reckons they’re both well worth a watch, and Andy B is reasonably convinced.

Joshua Counsil is the co-founder of Good Robot Brewing in Halifax, a multi-award-winning hospitality and beverage company with three venues, national wholesale distribution, and The Beverage Factory, a co-manufacturing facility serving brands all the way to Costco.Good Robot Brewing was weeks away from insolvency. No ad budget. No agency. No playbook. Co-founder JOSHUA COUNSIL posted about a silent reading event on Facebook, and within 72 hours the taproom was at capacity. That single idea didn't just save the business, it became 5% of their website traffic for the next five years and helped fuel a $10M brand built almost entirely on earned media, raw authenticity, and doing the opposite of what every competitor was doing.He explains:◼️ How one $0 Facebook post pulled a brewery back from the brink of insolvency ◼️ The "zig where they zag" framework that turned a corn beer into an award-winning product and a viral campaign ◼️ Why publicity is the most underrated marketing channel — and how to manufacture it without a PR budget ◼️ The brutal truth about running a business vs. opening one (and why most entrepreneurs get blindsided) ◼️ How Josh uses AI as a strategic thinking partner — not a content machine — to break through writer's block and sharpen product positioning ◼️ Why founder-led content still wins, and what happens to your brand when the founders stop showing up ◼️ The mindset shift that keeps entrepreneurs going when the fire hose of problems never turns offTimestamps02:15 – Why Josh loves conferences more than most people love vacations 05:00 – Raised by murder mystery dinner theatre owners: how that shaped everything 09:30 – From engineering to entrepreneurship — quitting his job in Seattle for a brewery idea 14:00 – Landing in Halifax and the culture shock of a non-hustle market 18:30 – Weeks from insolvency: what the early days of Good Robot really looked like 23:00 – The silent reading event that packed the taproom in 72 hours 27:30 – Zigging where competitors zag: the corn beer campaign that no one expected 32:00 – Publicity over paid ads: why earned media builds brands that ads can't 36:30 – Knowing what you suck at — the most underrated business skill 40:00 – Using AI as a strategic partner, not a shortcut

Andy C introduces Nosferatu and The Monkey to Andy B. The first is a very impactful remake of a true classic, and the second is a funny palette-cleanser.

We're told from a young age to achieve. Get good grades. Get into a good school. Get a good job. Be ambitious about earning a high salary or a high-status position. Some of us love this endless climb. But lots of us, at least once in our lives, find ourselves asking, "What's the point of all this ambition?"Historian and author Rutger Bregman doesn't think there is a point to that kind of ambition. Instead, he wants us to be morally ambitious, to measure the value of our achievements based on how much good we do, by how much we improve the world. In this episode, Bregman speaks with guest host Sigal Samuel about how to know if you're morally ambitious, the value of surrounding yourself with like-minded people, and how to make moral ambition fashionable.

“The AI revolution is here. Can we build a Good Robot?” asks Vox's newest miniseries, Good Robot. Join host Julia Longoria in conversation with Sherrell to discuss the ideological divide within the AI community. Sherrell and Julia talk about how Julia leverages her background as a Supreme Court reporter to condense complex topics into accessible and exciting explainers, AI's encroachment on the media industry by “pilfering” works of authors and journalists, and why algorithms could be implemented to ensure ethical consumption – and higher quality information.

There's a lot of uncertainty when it comes to artificial intelligence. Technologists love to talk about all the good these tools can do in the world, all the problems they might solve. Yet, many of those same technologists are also warning us about all the ways AI might upend society, how it might even destroy humanity. Julia Longoria, Vox host and editorial director, spent a year trying to understand that dichotomy. The result is a four-part podcast series — called Good Robot — that explores the ideologies of the people funding, building, and driving the conversation about AI. Today Julia speaks with Sean about how the hopes and fears of these individuals are influencing the technology that will change all of our lives.

"One day I got bored, so I put everything on a bagel. Everything" Enter the many dimensions of humor, family drama and Michelle Yeoh's badass kung fu skills as Cameron dives in to review EEAAO with distinguished AI researcher Dr. Kerry McInerney. If you haven't seen Everything Everywhere All At Once, here's a quick overview:Released in 2022, Everything Everywhere All At Once is a sci-fi multiverse comedy, family drama, action film written and directed by The Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Shienerdt). The film centers around Eveleyn Wang (Michele Yeoh) a 50-something chinese immigrant who runs a failing laundromat with her husband Waymond (played by Key Huy Kwan), who is struggling to connect with her daughter Joy (who is gay). As their IRS audit begins to lean towards disaster, Evelyn is suddenly called to adventure by a Waymond from another dimension, as the only woman who can fight the evil “Jobu TObacki” and save the entire multiverse. What proceeds is equal parts absurdist bathroom humor and a heartwarming story of family, acceptance and love. About our Guest: Kerry McInerney is a research associate at Cambridge's Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, where she researches AI from the perspective of gender studies, critical race theory, and Asian diaspora studies.  Her scholarship has appeared in journals such as Feminist Review, Public Understanding of Science, and Philosophy and Technology. Her work on AI-powered hiring tools has also been covered by media outlets like the BBC, Forbes, the Register, and the Daily Mail. She also hosts the incredible podcast “The Good Robot” with Dr. Eleanor Drage, dissecting the cross section of AI and gender with the question “What is GOOD technology?”.

Kerry and Eleanor chat about getting its illustrations as tattoos, and you can vote for which one you think we should get tattooed. And then we have some more serious conversations about why good technology is always complicit, whether that be a blood glucose monitor, the Dyson Air Wrap, a Tangle Teezer, a water purifier or Kerry's option: knitting needles. The book has just launched online and in stores. So you can find it at your local bookshop. We know that it stocked in Waterstones, hers. Blackwells, Pages of Hackney... and of course this wouldn't be an episode on the complicities of good technology without saying that you can also find it on Amazon. This episode includes an ad for the What Next|TBD podcast.

Prva mednarodna konferenca o digitalni suverenosti DISCO SlovenijaKonec oktobra je v Ljubljani potekala konferenca DISCO, ki je združila tako tuje kot tudi domače govorce in govorke, strokovnjakinje in strokovnjake ter goste iz prakse, ki so preizpraševali prevladujoče poglede na tehnološki napredek in se pogovarjali o tem, kako razviti boljše tehnologije za vse. Pred naš mikrofon smo povabili tri sogovornice. Kako o digitalni suverenosti razmišlja pravnica iz Poljske, ki se bojuje proti spletnim gigantom, raziskovalka iz Združenega kraljestva, ki presprašuje etično rabo tehnologij umetne inteligence, in študentka političnih ved, ki je egiptovsko revolucijo na Trgu Tahrir opazovala s svoje otroške sobe? Dorota Anna Glowacka, dr. Eleanor Drage in Alia ElKattan so se o svojem delu in digitalni suverenosti pogovarjale z Urško Henigman, ki je pripravila tokratno oddajo Intelekta.

This special bonus episode was recorded at the AI Anarchies conference in Berlin. We held a workshop exploring with participants what good technology means for them, and why thinking in terms of ‘good technology' actually limits us. Two amazing participants offered to be interviewed by us, Christina Lu, who at the time was a software engineer at DeepMind and is now a researcher on the Antikythera program and Grace Turtle, a designer, artist, and researcher that uses experimentation and play, like Table Top Games, LARPing, and simulation design to encourage us to transition to more just and sustainable futures. 

We look at a 1970's pilot, "The Questor Tapes," which was a scratchpad for the invention of the TNG character known as Data.  More at sciencefictionuniversity.com. Support the show

Paul and Bryan discuss Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. They discuss its history, evolution, and common applications - as well as the pitfalls and risks.Link to original Dan Ariely tweet that makes Bryan's quote seem less controversial: https://twitter.com/danariely/status/287952257926971392?s=20&t=w1hwoGgX0tviEeG2EqXaXgArthur Samuel Checkers Paper: https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~evans/greatworks/samuel1959.pdfChat GPT: https://chat.openai.com/chat
