Nothing can now be ruined. We are the guests of someone gone.This week, Rick is joined by Chris (1 Hour 1 Decision Podcast) to talk Gris, a 2018 work exploring grief, loss, and acceptance. Though initially unassuming, there's more to Gris than meets the eye. Our conversations focus on two themes: Prescriptivism vs Descriptivism; and that of the title, interpretation being a co-creation between the viewer and creator.

Complex problems often assume complex solutions, but recent observations about increased levels of anxiety and depression, increased reports of loneliness, and lower rates of in-person friendships for teens and children in America today have led some school districts across the country to take direct and simple action: Take away the access to smartphones in schools.Not everyone is convinced. When social psychologist and author Jonathan Haidt proposed five solutions to what he called an "epidemic of mental illness" for young adults in America, many balked at the simplicity. Writing for the outlet Platformer, reporter Zoe Schiffer spoke with multiple behavioral psychologists who alleged that Haidt's book cherry-picks survey data, ignores mental health crises amongst adults, and over-simplifies a complex problem with a blunt solution. And in speaking on the podcast Power User, educator Brandon Cardet-Hernandez argued that phone bans in schools would harm the students that need phones the most for things like translation services and coordinating rides back home from parents with varying schedules. But Haidt isn't alone in thinking that smartphones have done serious harm to teenagers and kids today, and many schools across America are taking up the mantle to at least remove their access in their own hallways. In February, Los Angeles Unified School District did just that, and a board member for the school district told the Lock and Code podcast that he believes the change has been for the better. But for those still in doubt, there's a good reason now to look back. Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we revisit a 2024 interview with Dr. Jean Twenge about her research into the differences in America between today's teens and the many generations that came before. A psychologist and published author, Twenge believes she has found enough data tying increased smartphone use and social media engagement with higher strains on mental health. In today's re-broadcast episode, Twenge explains where she believes there is a mental health crisis amongst today's teens, where it is unique to their generation, and whether it can all be traced to smartphones and social media. According to Dr. Twenge, the answer to all those questions is, pretty much, “Yes.” But, she said, there's still some hope to be found.“This is where the argument around smartphones and social media being behind the adolescent mental health crisis actually has, kind of paradoxically, some optimism to it. Because if that's the cause, that means we can do something about it.”Tune in today to listen to the full conversation.You can also find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and whatever preferred podcast platform you use.For all our cybersecurity coverage, visit Malwarebytes Labs at malwarebytes.com/blog.Show notes and credits:Intro Music: “Spellbound” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Outro Music: “Good God” by Wowa (unminus.com)Listen up—Malwarebytes doesn't just talk cybersecurity, we provide...

A graphic designer from Argentina transforms into a game developer despite industry obstacles in his home country. Jorge, creator of Astrozombies, shares his remarkable journey of perseverance and creative vision on Desert Island Gamer.The emotional vulnerability of releasing a passion project stands at the heart of this conversation. Having poured years into Astrozombies, Jorge reflects on the challenge of public scrutiny with remarkable wisdom: "Take the feedback that helps you improve, and remember different strokes for different folks." His balanced approach to criticism reveals the maturity necessary to thrive as an independent creator.His deliberate choice to buck current gaming trends makes Jorge's story particularly compelling. While the industry races toward expansive open worlds and hyper-realistic graphics, he crafted a game that harks back to the golden era of platformers. "I figured there's already a lot of people doing that," he explains. "These things go in cycles. If it's fun, it's fun." This philosophy extends to his ambitious vision of Astro Zombies as the first in a trilogy – each game complete in itself but forming a greater whole.His desert island game selections reveal the DNA of his creative influences. He passionately describes each game's unique qualities. The thoughtful incorporation of a standout soundtrack in Astro Zombies demonstrates how these influences manifest in his creation.Curious about the nostalgic platformer that's capturing hearts? Discover Astro Zombies today and experience a game created with genuine passion for the medium's roots while bringing something fresh to modern players.Let us know where we're going wrong....or, like, right...maybe.Support the showFollow the adventure, support the show, listen with both ears - https://linktr.ee/DesertIslandGamer

Vous pensiez souffler un peu avant la sortie du prochain gros AAA ? Raté.Parce que depuis le 17 avril, une petite pépite indé est arrivée discrètement, et elle mérite toute votre attention : Bionic Bay.Développé par Juhana Myllys (à qui l'on doit Badland) et les programmeurs taïwanais du studio Psychoflow, ce jeu est un platformer à la Limbo/Inside : sombre, stylé, malin, avec une mécanique de gameplay aussi simple qu'addictive.Dans ce test, on revient sur ce que propose Bionic Bay, d'où il vient, et surtout ce qui en fait un bon jeu — malgré quelques petits défauts en chemin.Bonne écoute !

Greg and Riley Discuss the widely influential puzzle/platformer: Braid. They dissect every world, the metaphoric story, and the game's oddball creator, Jonathon Blow.

On the bad side, we have copyright infringement, exploitation, and misinformation; on the good side, we have its uses for brainstorming, editing work, and combating loneliness. On both sides, everyone is freaking out about AI — but are we freaking out about it for the right reasons? Casey Newton joins us to make the pitch that whatever you think, AI is not “crypto 2.0.” Everyone, in every generation, needs to take it seriously.Our guest Casey Newton is a tech journalist who founded and writes for the Platformer newsletter (https://www.platformer.news/) and co-hosts the Hard Fork podcast (https://www.nytimes.com/column/hard-fork/).Want even more Panic World content?

Data is pouring into your business every second, but where are the insights you need to act on it? Just 27% of business executives in a recent Forrester study said their data and analytics projects produce actionable insights.  In this episode, we look at how AI can help bridge the gap between the overwhelming amounts of data available today and the actionable intelligence executives need to drive results. Knownwell CMO Courtney Baker, CEO David DeWolf, and Chief Product and Technology Officer Mohan Rao kick things off by breaking down the journey from raw data to wisdom. They discuss why 60-70% of enterprise data goes unanalyzed and how leaders can leverage AI to surface hidden insights, not just confirm what they already know. Plus, they explain why vision is critical: if you don't know what you're looking for, your AI won't either. For our expert interview, Pete Buer sits down with Arman Eshraghi, CEO of Qrvey, to discuss how SaaS companies can embed analytics into their products, empowering customers with self-serve insights. Arman shares practical advice for SaaS leaders on turning data into a competitive advantage, plus a sneak peek of Knownwell's own Mohan Rao's recent appearance on Arman's SaaS Scaled podcast. All of that PLUS another installment of AI in the Wild with Pete Buer. Pete and Courtney dive into OpenAI's new deep research tool—an AI agent that might actually live up to the hype, according to Casey Newton of Platformer. Learn why it could revolutionize market research and competitive analysis but why it's also best suited for those with a foundational understanding of the topic at hand.

A year ago, we saw a stand-off between OpenAI's non-profit board and its leader, Sam Altman. Since then, the board has been reshuffled, Altman has consolidated power, and under his leadership, some strange things have happened.

The Democratic National Convention gets underway this week with party stars, social media influencers and Republican Never Trumpers flocking to Chicago for the historic event. Although Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz have already been officially nominated online, the DNC will be a prime chance to lay out their agenda to the American people. But will they? Or will they be more focused on vibes and values? This week, Kara and a team of longtime Harris reporters and political insiders break down which issues will likely be front and center at the DNC, what you won't hear a lot about, and what role social media, memes and Generative AI will likely play in the weeks ahead. Guests: Wall Street Journal White House reporter Sabrina Siddiqui; New York Times National politics reporter and host of The Run-Up podcast Astead Herndon; Casey Newton, founder of Platformer and co-host of the Hard Fork podcast; and Reed Galen, co-founder of the Lincoln Project, president of Join the Union, and author of the substack The Home Front.
