Emily, Ky, and Ky's favorite shape are back in this episode about a rare Disney short about Alcohol's Best Friend: Smoking! Tune in to learn what you should do if people don't respect you, what a dude ranch is, and the etymology of the word 'dude' (you won't believe it!). We also unpack Ky's childhood trauma, remember a favorite past episode, and consider thrill seeking behavior. We got one complaint about our last episode: that there wasn't enough banter before we dove into the topic. Don't worry. We fixed that issue this week!

Went for a jumbo edition today in the big studio with the big board! Commented briefly about the Roman Catholic penitential procession video that made the rounds a few days ago, then we looked at Stephen Wolfe's lengthy tweet about the term "worldview" and how we would be better off abandoning it. Hardly surprising, but I disagreed!

Jentic, an artificial intelligence startup building the integration layer for AI, has announced it has raised €4 million in pre-seed funding. The round was led by Elkstone with additional participation from Sure Valley Ventures, TechOperators, and Shuttle. Many notable technology founders and leaders also joined the round as angel investors. The funding will be used to expand the team, accelerate product development, and bring an integration layer for AI to market. Founded in late 2024, Jentic is a communication middleware layer for AI agents, which enables developers and organisations to easily hook their AI agents up to other systems, and manage and control their communication. It aims to be the platform that unites the expanding ecosystem of AI agents, from those offered by tech giants to bespoke agents created by in-house teams. Over the past few years, the AI sector has experienced unprecedented growth, driven by rapid innovation and a surge in investment. An AI agent is a software program that uses AI to plan how to accomplish goals and tasks, and performs the steps in that plan by connecting to other software systems. An agent is like a "self-driving" computer program, which has its goal set by a human user, but performs all the necessary actions itself. Jentic is focusing on the connection layer between agents and all other software, increasing agent capability, maximising reliability and helping organisations monitor and manage large-scale AI deployments. Jentic is founded by an experienced team of tech entrepreneurs, including CEO Sean Blanchfield, former co-founder of PageFair (acquired by Blockthrough) and DemonWare (acquired by Activision Blizzard), COO Dorothy Creaven, former Managing Director at Rent The Runway and co-founder of Element Wave, Michael Cordner, co-founder of Mindconnex, and Dr. Tilman Schaefer, a founding team member at DemonWare. "We're building critical infrastructure to enable developers to easily and securely hook their AI systems up to the world's APIs,"said Sean Blanchfield, co-founder and CEO of Jentic. "This is the future of automation, and it needs a new kind of integration layer to manage the unique complexity, reliability and security issues that arise when AI becomes highly connected. We have a strong history of building category-leading middleware, and this funding will allow us to quickly expand our world-class team, match the tremendous pace of AI development, and deliver a platform that empowers developers and organisations to deploy sophisticated AI with confidence." For developers, Jentic streamlines API integration for AI agents, automatically matching them with optimal tools as they execute tasks. For executives, it provides centralised oversight of agent operations across the organisation, enabling monitoring, security management, and access control. "At Elkstone, we are committed to backing ground-breaking startups capable of transforming industries," said Niall McEvoy, Head of Venture at Elkstone. "Jentic's clear vision to establish a universal AI integration layer aligns perfectly with our mission to drive technological innovation. Backing experienced serial founders with a clear global market opportunity underpins why Elkstone is leading this funding round, and we are enthusiastic to support Jentic's growth." Several experienced tech leaders sit on Jentic's board of advisors including Steven Collins (CTO of Unity, former CTO of King, co-founder of Havok and Swrve), Patricia Scanlon (Ireland's AI Ambassador and founder/former CEO of Soapbox Labs, acquired in 2023 by Curriculum Associates), Colm Long (former VP of Global Operations at Facebook and Director of Operations at Google, previously COO at Tines), Fergal Reid (VP of AI at Intercom) and Mark Cummins (former founder/CEO of Pointy and Plink, which were respectively acquired in 2010 and 2020 by Google).

ChatGPTAs Ollie, Luna, and the Pixel Pirates ventured into the Encrypted Forest, an eerie silence hung in the air. The trees, woven with lines of glowing code, whispered ominous warnings."Stay sharp," Captain Byte cautioned. "This place is alive."Suddenly, cybernetic wolves with glowing red eyes emerged from the shadows, surrounding them. Ollie's heart raced. "This must be the Digital Overlord's doing," he whispered.The wolves attacked. Ollie and Luna fought fiercely, dodging and striking with precision. Captain Byte and his crew fought valiantly, their unity turning the tide. Amidst the chaos, Ollie noticed the wolves were controlled remotely."There!" he shouted, pointing to a hooded figure hidden among the trees. "That's the source!"Luna and Byte followed Ollie's lead, pushing through the fray. The figure stepped into the light, revealing circuitry glowing beneath its cloak. "Welcome to my domain," it hissed.A surge of dark energy knocked them back. "Together," Luna said, helping Ollie up. "We fight together."They launched a coordinated attack, but the figure fought back with dark energy. Ollie saw a control device in its chest and, with a swift move, tore it free. The cyber-wolves collapsed."You think this is over?" the figure spat as it disintegrated. "The Overlord's reach is vast."Breathing heavily, the team regrouped. "We've won this fight," Byte said, "but the war is just beginning. We need the other keys to stop the Overlord."As they pressed on, the forest whispered of greater dangers, and the specter of the Digital Overlord loomed ever larger. The true test of their strength and unity was yet to come. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

NDRC, Ireland's national startup accelerator, and an initiative of the Department of, Environment Climate and Communications (DECC), is celebrating three years of building a thriving startup ecosystem across the country. They have announced a 2-year contract extension to continue supporting entrepreneurs and their ambition to make Ireland the best place in Europe to build a startup company. NDRC operates through a network of innovative startup hubs, including Dogpatch Labs in Dublin, PorterShed in Galway, RDI Hub in Kerry, and Republic of Work in Cork. These hubs serve as connectors, bringing together various stakeholders across the startup ecosystem to support and nurture founders. The founder-first, entrepreneur-led focus woven throughout programmes has led to over €56M being raised by startups who participated in the programmes over the last 3 years alone, and €180M by the entire NDRC portfolio during the same period, resulting in 650 jobs created, and thousands of individuals supported via educational aspects. Accelerator startups raised over €35M where examples include IP monitoring software GreyScout (€3.5M), cyber startup Cytidel (€1.35M), and Examfly (€1.5M). In three years, €21M was raised by Pre-Accelerator alumni. Notable examples of this early-stage success include Galway-based ByoWave - a video game controller for gamers with disabilities (€2.4M), and Tipperary-based trio Zerve ($3.8M). Dee Lyons, a Limerick native and Founder of ExamFly remarked, "We found the support incredible. The focus and accountability have meant that within 6 months, we went from an early-stage startup with some initial validation to an investor-ready business with a strategy and long-term vision." Lyons was selected for the 2022 NDRC Accelerator and secured €1.5M investment one year later. NDRC has enjoyed huge support from over 100 founders & operators as mentors who have built or exited companies worth a combined net value of €5Bn including Mark Cummins (sold Pointy to Google for over $100m), Bobby Healy (Former CTO of CarTrawler, valued at over €500M), Áine Kerr (Led Storyful through €18m acquisition), Pat Phelan (Co-Founder SISU, sold Trustev for $40 million), and Jules Coleman (sold Hassle.com for €35m). Entrepreneurs countrywide enjoyed support and often exclusive mentoring from a range of multinational companies including Open.AI, Google, Stripe, Fidelity, ESB, Microsoft, and Unilever. For example, Open.AI provided €25k credits to a unique NDRC Hackathon in partnership with the ISE course at the University of Limerick. Ian Browne, NDRC MD for the past 2 years commented on NDRC's impact on startups, "In a period of momentous change in both the macro and micro environment, we've continued to instil this 'founder-first' mentality, adapting to startups' real-time needs, and delivering programmes, which are entrepreneur-led and reflect growing startup trends - whether that's new topics like Deeptech and Generative AI, or the introducing one of Europe's first SAFE instruments on 'founder-friendly' investment terms to Irish startups." Mary Rodgers, CEO at PorterShed, a regional hub partner said, "NDRC has extended PorterShed's role regionally, offering high-quality early-stage supports to more tech startups in the West and North West. In the PorterShed first 5 years of operation, we've helped create 835 high-value sustainable jobs (KPMG validated). We look forward to building on this success through programmes like NDRC, and the welcome news of the 2-year extension." During the period a new NDRC Women Entrepreneurs Network was created which now has 400+ members, and to date, 30% of NDRC accelerator investments comprise women-led or co-led startups. Since 2021, NDRC has managed multiple successful NDRC portfolio company exits, notable examples including 2021 alumnus Robotify which secured a partnership with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak followed by an acquisition by global edtech Imagine Learning, fintech Chasing Returns was acquired b...

In this episode we get to the bottom of pyramids. They're not bad actually, reasonably well built. Pointy. In social etiquette, we explore what to do when someone asks to borrow your stuff.

Dearest listeners, grab your tickets and front row seats for our encore performance of ‘Four Clowns Lose Their Minds Over 32 Seconds of Footage.' In this special bonus episode, we can't see the forest for the trees, but we'll be placing our newest theories under the spotlight as we tackle the ever-growing mystery of the Season 3 timeline.   We'll be reading Whistledown with a grumpy Unicolin, drinking lemonade with Anton Chekov and contemplating whether an innocent bit of blue fabric is in fact a smoking gun-in-waiting.  Elsewhere, we'll be chasing Moonlight Polin through the shrubbery and asking the all-important question, ‘how many times can we say the word ‘topiary' in one episode?'

Show Notes Episode 436: Now You're Just A Leno That I Used to Know Finale of Winter Series 2024 “Late Nite with Dave Bledsoe” This week Host Dave Bledsoe gets into a bitter feud with his agent over whose round of drinks it is. (Dave doesn't have an agent, he was arguing with an old drunk lady in Port Authority.  Again.) On the show this week we conclude our Winter Series for 2024 with the true tale of how Jay Leno ratfucked everyone he ever met. (Pointy chin motherfucker!) Along the way we discover that Dave is nothing if not consistent. (Consistently do stupid shit while drunk and then breaking into tears afterwards.) Then dive right into the backstory of James Douglas Muir Leno from his humble origins to his time in Hollywood buddying up to people he would eventually stab in the during his long march to the Tonight Show. (This show is neither fair, nor balanced.) We meet Helen, the woman that created Jay's career only to be discarded when she threatened his seat behind the desk.  We learn the details about Jay's weaseling that were far worse than what you think you already know. (There was ALWAYS a plan to fuck over David Letterman.) Our Sponsor this week is Nunzio's Talent Management, you get the contract you want and nobody gets hurt. We open with Bill Hicks waxing rhapsodic about Jay Leno and close with the Pentatonix harmonizing about people they used to know.

It's a hardware and software solution designed to help local retailers showcase their products online and attract customers through Google Search and Maps. Here's how it works: Hardware: Retailers connect a Pointy box to their point-of-sale system. Software: When a product is scanned at the register, the Pointy software automatically adds it to a virtual "Pointy Page" for the store on Google. Benefits: This allows customers to see what products are available in the store before they visit, check stock levels, and even reserve items online. This can significantly improve online visibility and drive foot traffic to physical stores.

This episode is dedicated to my ENGL 255 course in English Literature for Fall 2023 at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec, entitled “Video Games and/as Literature”, under the guidance of Dr. Kelsey Blair. The culmination of this creative final project involves three distinct interviews that delve into the ongoing debate between ludology and narratology and the exploration of the theme of identity in video games. Our diverse panel of guests includes Sarah Loubiri, a full-time employee and part-time Art History student at Concordia University, who has been an avid gamer since 1990. Also joining us is “Krasnog”, a native of Seattle, Washington, and a Twitch streamer with a gaming journey dating back to 1999. Notably, Krasnog is also a Marine veteran, adding a unique perspective to our discussion about identity. Rounding out our trio is Dr. Pippin Barr, a distinguished figure in video games. He serves as an educator, critic, and associate professor, and is currently the Chair of the Department of Design and Computation Arts at Concordia University. Dr. Barr's extensive contributions to the world of video games include the creation of over 80 games since 2011. His collaborative podcast with David Wolinksi, titled Game Thing, explores video games through an audiobook club format. Additionally, his recent book with the MIT Press, The Stuff Games Are Made Of, offers a comprehensive breakdown of game design, exploring aspects such as computation, graphics, cinema, time, and more. Tune in as we engage in insightful conversations with these remarkable guests! **My First Season podcast has always been ad-free and free to listen to and is available to download on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Samsung Podcasts, Podbean App, Podchaser, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, Pandora and Listen Notes.  Please visit Dr. Pippin Barr's website at: https://pippinbarr.com/ Please check out Krasnog's Twitch stream and give him a follow!: https://www.twitch.tv/krasnog        

From The Top! keeps Defying Gravity in Show Notes for Wicked, and in typical fashion, there's a perfect balance of dancing through life and a bit of loathing. Notes From A Director - Steven was not that girl who didn't get a note, but unlike spells in this show, fixes them quickly. Actor's Nightmare - It's not easy being green, or any color as Mary and Steven discuss politics around the land, how bad optics can affect perception, and other topics in a place scarier than the witch's castle. Quick Cast - Hollywood having done the lifting already, Steven and Mary discuss the upcoming Wicked film casting choices, and offer some substitutions that might have you riffing like Ariana Grande and saying "Mamma Mia!" What If? - What if Glinda had followed Elphaba that day in the Emerald City? ⁠⁠Wicked Cast Album - 2003 FOLLOW US!

This episode is a big one!! In Part One of the Two-Part season finale, Nondescript Voiceover Guy shows us the formative moments of Angel's existence. We travel back to the 1700's to see Angel shooting his shot with Darla and how terribly wrong it goes. We see his first meeting with Dru, the curse being cast, and of course the MOST formative moment, when he first saw Buffy Summers (and was able to look past that terrible outfit she was wearing at the time). In between walks down memory lane, Buffy and the gang are faced with an unearthed tomb containing a Demon who could suck all life into hell for eternal torment...oh, and also final exams. Buffy resigns to dusting Angelus until a found floppy disk (remember those?) reveals that Ms. Calendar had cracked the restore-the-curse-code. So now it's moral dilemma time Rewatchers! Should Buffy try to get her boyfriend back and transform Angelus back into Angel, or should he pay for what he's done? Plus, Willow has some fun dabbling in the dark arts, Kendra and her Mr. Pointy stake are back, and Xander is an absolute *^&# (Willow's words... not ours!!!). And don't forget to follow us on Instagram at the_rewatcher for some special content!!New episodes come out every Monday or you can listen early on Amazon Music or early and ad-free by subscribing to Wondery Plus in Apple Podcasts or the Wondery App.Please support us by supporting our sponsors.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
