＋小助手VX 【luluxjg2】获取全文稿哦~~Welcome back to geek time advanced. How are you doing lulu? Hi Brad. I'm doing fine. So are we gonna talk about aliens and pyramids? Exactly. We talk about aliens a lot on the podcast and aliens are very interesting. And whenever there's some idea, whenever we have an idea that we don't really understand, we can easily just go to aliens. It's so convenient, isn't it? Aliens did it. Although when I was growing up, obviously learning about pyramids, all of these great ancient architectures, we generally attribute it to the wisdom of ancient people. However, there's another way to look at it.Exactly.There are people out there who truly believe in the whole theory of aliens have something to do or had something to do with pyramids. Mhm. Exactly. One of the theories posits that aliens either helped people create the pyramids or forced them to create the pyramids, so they could use them as landing sites for their spacecraft. I'm sorry, that is a bit silly. If they want to use it as a landing pad, why would they just use the ground? Why would they use the pointing stuff that is like the most... I think that is the most uncomfortable way to park your spaceship on top of the Egyptian pyramid. What we can kind of get into it a little bit later with some of Tesla's thoughts, but the shape might have been on purpose right? There might be a reason for the shape and so we'll come back to that a little bit later. But a lot of people think that they might have been built by the aliens to be landing pads for their spaceships. Yeah, but you said they either helped or forced humans. I have something to say about that. I mean, logically, why would they help humans build that? For what reason, to what end? If they forced humans, what kind of power that they could tower over human? And if they had that level of power, why wouldn't they have just taken over earth? See, this would be my logic. There's a few theories. I think we might have talked about panspermia, but in the past, there's this idea that the aliens actually put us here. They put the humans on earth and helped us in our evolution to become to the point where we're at today. So they can use us as workers in the future. Oh, my god! Are we just a giant ant farm for the aliens? That's what some people believe. So the aliens it takes a long time to travel through the universe. So every time they come to earth, thousands of years might pass. And so people kind of forget that the fact that there are aliens out there; or if they do, they don't really believe because they haven't seen them in generations. And so it is a possibility. That is just a sad possibility. That reminds me of one of the episodes in Rick and Morty, like the Miniverse. So you realize your entire universe is just someone's car factory. Hahaha. That's possible. They sort of like make you work, brainwash you to work, so that by working it, by paddling something, you get so called money and live and salary. But in fact, you're just slaving away for whoever created your universe. You're just slaving away so that their car has battery. That could be, I think it's a lot less likely, but that with the pyramids and that we actually have some sort of, I wouldn't say it's evidence, because people could have easily made the pyramids. There's videos of a man who shows possible engineering techniques that people could have used. I mean he shows how he could move a rock a huge rock by himself, just using a few simple tools made of wood and rope.I'm very human centric. Yeah.So I still rather believe it was our ancestors, common human ancestors, that had the great wisdom, to move things, to make things, beyond we think, are their technological limitations and barriers.Yeah. I don't know if we've talked about Atlantis before but...Oh, we should, in the future. We haven't, but we should.

In this episode of the Tech Talks Daily Podcast, I welcome Dr. Allen Yang, the Co-Founder of Hitch Interactive on the show, to discuss the innovative intersection of AI, blockchain, and culinary arts through the lens of the new NFT project, Yami Hamo. Hitch Interactive, known for combining advanced technology with education, has ventured into uncharted territory with Yami Hamo, representing a unique fusion of gourmet dishes and NFT technology. Dr. Yang, with his extensive background as a serial entrepreneur and an 18-year tenure as a UC Berkeley faculty member, delves into the creation of Hitch Interactive in 2019. His journey in AR and VR technologies since 2015 has culminated in this groundbreaking project. Yami Hamo, Hitch Interactive's first NFT collection, showcases 1000 gourmet dishes, each depicted in an NFT with intricate artwork and embedded data designed to educate about culinary culture. This NFT collection is not just a visual feast but also serves as a tool to train a private AI assistant in the nuances of global cuisines. The discussion explores the broader implications of the Yami Hamo project for the future of NFTs and Web3. Dr. Yang highlights the need for NFTs to have more tangible, real-world utility and describes how Hitch Mint, their new platform, will empower creators to craft their own decentralized miniverses powered by AI. These miniverses, self-contained within each NFT, represent a significant leap in how NFTs can be utilized beyond just digital art, extending into education and interactive experiences. Dr. Yang discusses how the Yami Hamo project challenges the conventional perceptions of NFTs, integrating them into everyday life in meaningful and educational ways. This episode is a must-listen for those intrigued by the evolving world of NFTs, AI, blockchain, and their application in unconventional domains like the culinary arts.

Kirk Minihane is pissed about the tribal warfare taking place in the Miniverse and he's here to lay down the law. The Boston Globe followed up on its horrendous Pats mask story during MA Gov. Charlie Baker's coronavirus press conference (0:37:26). Also in the Globe: Joan Vennochi has an amazing column defending former Vice President Joe Biden against the accusation that he sexually assaulted a young staffer in 1993 (0:57:20). And continuing on that theme: The former Obama staffers who host Crooked Media's Pod Save America give Tara Reade's story their own unique treatment (1:11:40). Barstool Sports has put out the call for unique talents and Kirk is answering with Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.
Bear witness to the dead, to those who may no longer contribute a verse. Today's episode is an essay meditating on the mass shootings - the terrorist attacks - that occurred in El Paso and Dayton on August 3. The victims of these attacks, and all like them whose lives are cut short, deserve for us to hear their names and pause to reflect how fortunate we are to have the chance to keep creating, keep changing the world. Why write a novel or make a movie or make music? Why try to advance equality for all, or make some small change to what seems like a doomed environment? Why even try to keep one bullet from taking an innocent life? Surely we can’t change things. Surely we can’t change things if we don’t try. I do find it helpful to look for the good in the world. Small things. Look for the helpers, as Fred Rogers tells us. Not just the helpers, but any place where you can find light shining on the world or shine some light in your own way. In trying, crying, stressful, messy times, look to the helpers in whatever ways you can. Be a helper in whatever ways you can. However you may, keep creating and keep contributing your verse.
This is a mini-episode! I’ve spent five episodes now talking about the desire to create, the process by which we get individually to places where we’ve recorded podcasts, written stories, developed movies, recorded albums, and made wonderful picture books. What’s common among those conversations, and all the ones I have planned for the future, is that despite what comes your way in life, sometimes there’s a pull from somewhere in the back of your head to make something new come into the world. When you can’t do that, it’s frustrating. Not in the sense that it takes anything whatsoever away from the other parts of your life, but there’s a part of you that still wants to make. #VerseShow comprises conversations that give voice to creators, their process, their struggles, and the celebrations of their work. It's an interview podcast with a bend toward curiosity about the creative process.
