Josh Gates envía al científico Phil Torres y a la investigadora paranormal Jessica Chobot para investigar encuentros sobrenaturales, criaturas misteriosas y asombrosos fenómenos extraterrestres.
The paranormal entertainment world is dominated by men — with a few remarkable exceptions like Amy Bruni, Cindy Kaza, and Jessica Chobot. But it's still a boy's club, and a white boy's club with hardly any women of color. To get into these issues and discuss their own spooky stories, host Aaron Sagers has gathered upcoming leaders of the paranormal: Beckia-Ann Galentine, Melisa Viva Farris of Hidden Marietta, Amanda Noel, Amanda Paulson, and Lauren Hellekson. _______________________________________________________________ Talking Strange Paranormal Show with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture podcast featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as learned experts in all things strange and unexplained.

Rick and Morty Season 4 Episode 5 "Rattlestar Ricklactica" finally unleashes TIME TRAVEL!

In this analysis of Rick and Morty 4x05, Erik Voss is joined by special guests Jessica Chobot and Abed Gheith to discuss why the Rick and Morty writers finally explored a time travel plot and how they changed the rules of the universe to do so.

Week In Review Comic of the Week: Absolute Carnage #1 Jessica Chobot leaves Nerdist News Ninja Jumps to Mixer El Paso / Dayton Republican Retirements Joaquin Castro Doxxing @TeamMitch Banned from Twitter
Computer vision technology is already being used in a number of ways. Facial recognition is being used in lieu of boarding passes by some airlines. Facial biometrics can be used to unlock our devices—and even our doors. Conservationists are using the technology to identify and conserve rare species and promote biodiversity. Yet with this increasingly powerful technology comes increasing concern about other ways it may be used. Can we be tracked everywhere we go? What can be done to mitigate privacy loss, bias, and identity theft? In this episode of AI: Hype vs. Reality, host Jessica Chobot talks with experts to explore how this artificial intelligence technology works and how it’s being applied in schools, stadiums, retail and in the wild. She is joined by machine learning and computer vision professor Ali Farhadi from the University at Washington, tech-for-social-good advocate and researcher Jason Goodman at Cal-Berkeley, computer science professor Tanya Berger-Wolf of University at Illinois, And finally, Jessica puts current-day tech to the test with Shaun Moore, co-founder at Trueface What really happens when computer vision is used in combination with CCTV security cameras? How close are we to living in a world where security checks are quick and seamless, fingerprints and passwords are a thing of the past, and governments or corporations are truly tracking us everywhere we go? Find out in the season finale of AI: Hype v Reality and watch Jessica try to fool AI with disguises at our YouTube channel.
Does AI have intuition? It’s tough to say. Some experts predict AI will take the guesswork out of stock markets, come out on top in high-stakes competitive games, and figure out what we’re thinking before we think it. But will it? And how soon? With so much data being fed into AI, it’s reasonable to assume raw computational power and better information are stand-ins for intuition itself, yet that doesn’t entirely explain AI’s ability to be … well … truly intelligent. Jessica is joined by emerging technologies guru Dave Graham of Dell Technologies, Raphael Fiorentino of AI investing app Butterwire, Victor Kristof of sports prognostication startup Kickoff AI, Ani Kembhavi of the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, and Professor Tuomas Sandholm of Carnegie Mellon University. AI’s capacity for augmenting human intelligence is already helping humans making more educated guesses in several different arenas, by looking at wide swaths of historical data and trend analysis. But can it win at poker? Jessica goes head-to-head in Texas Hold ‘Em to find out just how intuitive AI can be. Watch Jessica try to call the AI's bluff on our YouTube channel.
Jessica Chobot is all about bringing beauty to gaming and pop culture. She shares with us quality geeky things, how growing up effects your buying choices, the nuances of being a goth adult, and in order to achieve the perfect winged liner, you have to go to art school.

Can AI be creative? If you believe the hype, AI will one day automate even the most creative jobs in advertising, fashion design, art, music and literature. But will it? To find out, host Jessica Chobot turns to Botnik Studios and its AI software to write a sitcom script—with an ocean of sitcoms from the 1980s and 90s providing the universe from which predictive text will draw inspiration. And then she delivers these bot-generated lines in front of a live audience. Will she get laughs, or will she need to be saved by a laugh track? Find out in the “AI for Creativity” episode of AI: Hype vs. Reality. But first, hear from AI-augmented artist Harshit Agrawal, Machine Learning Musician Pierre Barreau, and Taryn Southern – a real human but an AI pop-artist. They'll discuss the myths and realities behind what creativity really can be, what the limits of our imagination and AI’s capabilities are, and wonder just how long it will be before AI does most of the work in the studio, in the writers’ room, or on a canvas— if ever. Can math be art? Can machines be creative? Find out in this episode of AI: Hype vs. Reality, an original podcast from Dell Technologies. And head to our YouTube channel to watch Jessica perform an AI-generated sitcom in front of a live audience. Please let us know what you think of the show by leaving us a rating or review in Apple Podcasts.
Is AI really coming for all of our jobs? Or is fear of a robot takeover based on hype? To find out, host—and fellow human—Jessica Chobot talks with leading AI experts to uncover the source of the hype, reveal just how challenging it is to train a robot, and clearly define the role of machines in the workplace. In the “AI on the Job” episode of AI: Hype vs. Reality, you’ll hear Dave Graham from Dell Technologies explain the difference between job augmentation and replacement. Geoffrey Hinton—the “godfather of deep learning” and recipient of the 2018 Turing Award—gives insight into why humans fear robots to begin with. Andra Keay, managing director of Silicon Valley Robotics, deftly puts these fears to rest by relegating robots to tasks, not jobs. And Dylan Losey of Stanford University discusses why he thinks robots could use more of a human touch… literally. Finally, Jessica heads to Kindred in Toronto, where she talks to co-founder James Bergstra and learns to pilot the aptly-named SORT AI robot, putting it to the task of sorting online orders and answering the question: AI co-workers—hype or reality? Want to see how well Jessica can handle SORT? Head here to watch. Please let us know what you think of the show by leaving us a rating or review in Apple Podcasts
New from Dell Technologies comes a show about the cutting edge of artificial intelligence. Join host Jessica Chobot as she talks with AI experts and ventures out into the field to try out the latest advances in machine learning, robotics, computer vision, and more. In this preview episode, Jessica gets behind the wheel of a self-driving car at the University of Toronto. Find out if autonomous vehicles are all hype or if they'll soon be reality. Listen and subscribe to the full series
Self-driving cars: the greatest automotive industry disruption since Henry Ford’s Model-T assembly line… just around the corner. Right? That’s the hype—but is it reality? Are we mere blocks away from our neighborhood streets and freeways being filled with autonomous cars? Find out in the premiere episode of AI: Hype vs. Reality, a new podcast and video series in which Jessica Chobot, veteran host of Nerdist News and Bizarre States, puts present-day artificial intelligence technology to the test in real-world situations. And separates the hype from reality. In this inaugural episode, “AI That Drives”, Jessica talks with Dell Technologies’ emerging tech lead, Dave Graham, to get some context behind the hype around self-driving cars and what’s standing in the way of autonomous cars taking over our roadways. Guest Ram Vasudevan from the University of Michigan discusses the #1 concern—safety—and the data behind predicting pedestrian behavior. And guest Tim Sylvester explains his company’s, Integrated Roadways, solution to moving mass amounts of data between cars and between the car and the road—turning the road itself into a smart wireless network. Finally, after Jessica speaks with Ragavan Thurairatnam, cofounder and chief of machine learning at Dessa about the challenges of programming self-driving cars, she heads to the University of Toronto to take an experimental autonomous car named Zeus out for a spin. Hear how her adventure ends (spoiler: not everything goes according to program) and decide for yourself: self-driving cars—hype or reality? Want to watch Jessica’s test drive? Head here to see the action unfold.
