Welcome to spooktacular October episodes! This week, we're delving deep into the very best of the best in mystery games, featuring our Top 10. Before we dive in, though, make sure you take the time to enter our October contest - tell us your top 20 games and be entered for a chance to win one of the games on the final top 20 listener games list. https://gleam.io/jwEDM/your-top-20-board-games-of-all-time First up on the episode, we asked our question of the week, "is there a set time each year you review and cull your collection, or is it more spontaneous (or for the hoarders among us, myself included, do you put it off indefinitely)?" For our acquisition disorders this week, Anthony is looking at the newest game from Alexander Pfister, Blackout: Hong Kong and Chris looks at Concordia Venus, a new spin on the Mac Gerdts modern classic. At the Table, Anthony reviews both the new version of Manhattan, recently rereleased with beautiful new components, as well as CMON's Way of the Panda, a panda-filled take on worker placement mechanics. Chris then reviews Merlin with its current Queenie expansions and the Palace of Mad King Ludwig. Finally, the guys look at their top 10 mystery games, with some spooky, some super hard, and some just plain perfect for this time of year. Question of the Week: 4:48 Acquisition Disorders: 9:23 Manhattan Review:14:23 Way of the Panda Review: 18:45 Merlin Review: 26:54 Palace of Mad King Ludwig Review: 32:37 Top 10 Mystery Games:38:09 If you haven’t yet, be sure to connect with us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/boardgamersanonymous), Twitter (http://twitter.com/bgapodcast), and on our website (www.boardgamersanonymous.com).

Künstliche Intelligenz lernt besser sprechen, lässt sich dafür aber von einem einfachen Sticker austricksen. Sven erzählt über das VR-Spiel The Invisible Hours. Neue Sprachausgabe: Google-KI klingt wie ein Mensch Googles KI-basierte Sprachsynthese Tacotron 2 verwandelt Text in Sprache. Das ist noch nicht neu, mit dem Google Assistenten kann man seit Jahren Gespräche führen. Neu ist, dass die Sprachausgabe jetzt kaum mehr vom Klang einer menschlichen Stimme zu unterscheiden ist. Google stellte einige Audiovergleiche zwischen Mensch und Computer online, bei denen man die Roboterstimme nicht mehr verlässlich heraushören kann. Die Forscher evaluierten Tacotron 2 mit dem sogenannten "Mean Opinion Score" und erzielten auf einer Skala von 1 bis 5 einen Wert von 4,525 – eine reale Sprachaufnahme eines Menschen erreicht im Schnitt einen Wert von 4,58. Google-KI klingt wie ein Mensch: https://vrodo.de/neue-sprachsynthese-google-ki-klingt-jetzt-wie-ein-mensch/ Simpel-Hack: Einfacher Sticker bringt Bildanalyse-KI aus dem Tritt Google-Forscher zeigen in einem Experiment, dass eine für Bildanalyse optimierte Künstliche Intelligenz mit einem Spezialsticker getäuscht werden kann. Der Sticker wird von einer Gegner-KI nach dem Versuch-und-Irrtum-Prinzip entwickelt, bis die Bildanalyse-KI auf das Motiv anspringt. Sobald der Sticker in einer Szene auftaucht, richtet die KI ihren vollen Fokus darauf - und vergisst ihr eigentliches Analyseziel. Der Sticker kann der KI jedes erdenkliche Motiv vortäuschen, so wird beispielsweise aus einem Gewehr mit Sticker ein Toaster. Die Google KI-Forscher warnen explizit davor, dass so ein Sticker unkontrolliert offline verbreitet und von jedermann genutzt werden könnte. Sticker-Hack für KI-Systeme: https://vrodo.de/kuenstliche-intelligenz-ki-hack-fuer-jedermann-mit-einem-bunten-sticker/ The Invisible Hours: Klärt den Mord an Nikola Tesla auf The Invisible Hours spielt gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts: Eine kleine Gesellschaft findet sich in Nikola Teslas Villa ein, findet jedoch kurz darauf nur noch die Leiche des genialen Erfinders. Der Spieler schlüpft in die Rolle eines geisterhaften Beobachters, der in den folgenden Stunden den Ereignissen im Haus unbemerkt beiwohnen und in den zahlreichen Zimmern durch Beobachten und Zuhören den Mörder identifizieren muss. Dank einer magischen Uhr kann der Hausgeist den Fluss der Zeit umkehren und Ereignisse wiederholt in Gang setzen, um alle Einzelheiten aufzudecken. Sven erzählt, ob er mit dem VR-Mystery-Thriller Spaß hatte. Die zehn besten Mystery-Games für VR: https://vrodo.de/virtual-reality-die-zehn-besten-spiele-fuer-halloween/
