On this special Christmas holiday episode of the podcast, Chauncey DeVega reflects on this very surreal and challenging year and tries to find some mirth, merriment, positive energy and joy to refill his (and our) hope tanks. Chauncey taps into the joy of childhood nostalgia and a longing for a simpler time as he looks through store catalogues from the 1980s in search of his favorite Transformers and G.I. Joe toys, and then calculates how much they would cost in today's dollars. Chauncey soon realizes he likely would have been the parent telling the kids, "Hell no!" Disney, the WWE, and other entertainment companies have announced that they will be using AI programs to "assist" in their creative process. In the spirit of embracing the future, Chauncey DeVega asks an AI to write a Christmas-themed crossover mega-event movie featuring Star Wars, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, James Gunn's version of Superman, Santa Claus, Frosty the Snowman, and Krampus. The results are "troubling" for what they suggest about the present and future of mass media in the 21st century and beyond. This year's Christmas and holiday season are a painful reminder that the collapse of American democracy in the Age of Trump is also an extreme moral crisis, touching almost every aspect of American society and life. To that point, Chauncey shares a recent news story about how ICE has enlisted "Santa Claus" — equipped with a red bulletproof vest and handcuffs — to assist in its mass deportation campaign.

Okay you guys, this is a really weird episode to drop on a holiday: the latest chapter of Mayor of Kingstown (possibly the second-to-last episode ever?) bombarded us for 47 solid minutes with death, torture, plot twists, betrayal, and excrement MERRY CHRISTMAS. Seriously, this was hands down our favorite episode of the season, but maybe... The post Binary System Podcast #486 – Mayor of Kingstown season 4 episode 9 “Teeth and Tissue” first appeared on Pixelated Geek.
Because it's Christmas, and on Christmas you get a little treat, Joe and Matt are discussing all the ways crossovers are used in comics. From KISS to that one time Doctor Doom was Santa, to more mundane crossovers, adding a different set of characters to an existing comic can add new life to a stale plot. This episode has it all, from Archie to Transformers, perhaps both at the same time, and maybe in the Spiderverse. The sky's the limit when it comes to mashing up pop culture!If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free! Hosted on Acast.

IDW artist Nick Roche returns to Triple Takeover to talk Transformers Generations: Thrilling 30 — the 2013–2014 toy line — and the unusual creative journey that links Sandstorm and Springer.Nick discusses supplying an original Sandstorm concept to Hasbro, how that design eventually became a finished toy, and how it was later retooled into Springer — released first, and coincidentally based on Nick's own comic design for the character as seen in IDW's Last Stand of the Wreckers.Along the way, the conversation drifts (as it tends to with Nick) into nostalgia, collecting, community, and the realities of working across different parts of the Transformers brand — including his more recent design work on Transformers Earthspark. Expect equal parts toy history, behind-the-scenes insight, and good-natured chaos.This episode began life as a commission from our patron, Josh Bell.—Chapters0:00:00 Intro0:05:54 Thrilling 30 In Context0:10:58 How the Sandstorm Concept Came to Be0:23:35 Nick's First Impressions of the Toys0:42:28 Translating From Sandstorm Into Springer0:49:27 How Nick Designed Springer for IDW1:02:04 Owning Toys of Characters You've Created1:18:53 TFSource Sponsor Segment1:28:35 Patreon Q&A—Enjoying the show?

Looking for daily inspiration? Get a quote from the top leaders in the industry in your inbox every morning. Every year, millions of attraction visitors lose hours in line instead of making memories. Since its inception, accesso's virtual queuing has saved more than 4.5 billion minutes of wait time, freeing guests to pack their day with more rides, eats, and excitement. The result? Happier guests who spend more and a better bottom line for you. Ready to turn waits into wins? Visit accesso.com/ROIClinic. The queues are virtual. The results are real. Michael Acevedo is the Business Development Manager for Nassal. Growing up in Orlando, Michael turned a summer job at Universal Orlando into a two decade career that has spanned ride operations, tech services, engineering, Universal Creative, Walt Disney Imagineering, and now themed construction and fabrication. He has worked on projects such as Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, Transformers, the Fantasyland expansion, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, before moving into project management and business development at Nassal and its design build brand, nFusion. In this interview, Michael talks about reliability & guest experience, being yourself, full circle career moments. Reliability & Guest Experience “Every minute of downtime on this one attraction impacts the guest experience so much more than even 10 minutes of downtime at this other attraction.” Michael explains how his time in tech services engineering at Universal revealed the tight bond between reliability and guest satisfaction. By combining uptime data with daily guest ratings and information on which rides guests could or could not experience, his team could see which attractions caused the biggest drop in satisfaction when they went down and prioritize problem sensors and components accordingly. This moves reliability from a back of house statistic to a strategic lever, guiding where to invest time and resources so that technical decisions protect the most emotionally important moments in the visit. Being Yourself “So the most important piece of advice I would give people is just be yourself.” Looking back, Michael admits he spent years trying to match an imagined standard of who he should be at companies like Universal and Disney. Over time, he noticed that promotions, project invitations and leadership responsibilities tended to appear when he was showing up as his authentic self. In an industry that needs everyone from artists and engineers to plumbers, accountants and ticket sellers, he argues there is no single template for success. Bringing your real background, culture and personality into the work, and remembering that you are also a consumer of these experiences, is part of what makes you valuable. Full circle career moments “I don't know if I'll ever be able to top that moment, standing there with people who I looked up to, that I was right alongside them.” Michael recalls a defining full circle moment on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. After years of development, he stood at the exit on opening morning at Disney's Hollywood Studios and watched guests step off the attraction in disbelief, some in tears, thanking the team for making their Star Wars dreams real. He links that experience to seeing creative leader Scott Trowbridge at Universal years earlier and wondering what it would be like to work with him, then later sitting together as peers on Galaxy's Edge. Through mentoring students, hosting shop tours and sharing his story, Michael hopes to help others create their own full circle career moments. Michael encourages listeners who want to learn more about Nassal to visit nassal.com, where they can explore the company's portfolio of themed projects and capabilities. He also invites anyone seeking career advice or interested in working with Nassal to connect with him directly on LinkedIn.

What if everything we think we know about AI understanding is wrong? Is compression the key to intelligence? Or is there something more—a leap from memorization to true abstraction? In this fascinating conversation, we sit down with **Professor Yi Ma**—world-renowned expert in deep learning, IEEE/ACM Fellow, and author of the groundbreaking new book *Learning Deep Representations of Data Distributions*. Professor Ma challenges our assumptions about what large language models actually do, reveals why 3D reconstruction isn't the same as understanding, and presents a unified mathematical theory of intelligence built on just two principles: **parsimony** and **self-consistency**.**SPONSOR MESSAGES START**—Prolific - Quality data.

Satish Bhambri is a Sr Data Scientist at Walmart Labs, working on large-scale recommendation systems and conversational AI, including RAG-powered GroceryBot agents, vector-search personalization, and transformer-based ad relevance models.Join the Community: https://go.mlops.community/YTJoinInGet the newsletter: https://go.mlops.community/YTNewsletter// AbstractThe MLOps Community Podcast features Satish Bhambri, Senior Data Scientist with the Personalization and Ranking team at Walmart Labs and one of the emerging leaders in applied AI, in its newest episode. Satish has quietly built one of the most diverse and impactful AI portfolios in his field, spanning quantum computing, deep learning, astrophysics, computer vision, NLP, fraud detection, and enterprise-scale recommendation systems. Bhambri's nearly a decade of research across deep learning, astrophysics, quantum computing, NLP, and computer vision culminated in over 10 peer-reviewed publications released in 2025 through IEEE and Springer, and his early papers are indexed by NASA ADS and Harvard SAO, marking the start of his long-term research arc. He also holds a patent for an AI-powered smart grid optimization framework that integrates deep learning, real-time IoT sensing, and adaptive control algorithms to improve grid stability and efficiency, a demonstration of his original, high-impact contributions to intelligent infrastructure. Bhambri leads personalization and ranking initiatives at Walmart Labs, where his AI systems serve more than (5% of the world's population) 531 million users every month, roughly based on traffic data. His work with Transformers, Vision-Language Models, RAG and agentic-RAG systems, and GPU-accelerated pipelines has driven significant improvements in scale and performance, including increases in ad engagement, faster compute by and improved recommendation diversity.Satish is a Distinguished Fellow & Assessor at the Soft Computing Research Society (SCRS), a reviewer for IEEE and Springer, and has served as a judge and program evaluator for several elite platforms. He was invited to the NeurIPS Program Judge Committee, the most prestigious AI conference in the world, and to evaluate innovations for DeepInvent AI, where he reviews high-impact research and commercialization efforts. He has also judged Y Combinator Startup Hackathons, evaluating pitches for an accelerator that produced companies like Airbnb, Stripe, Coinbase, Instacart, and Reddit.Before Walmart, Satish built supply-chain intelligence systems at BlueYonder that reduced ETA errors and saved retailers millions while also bringing containers to the production pipeline. Earlier, at ASU's School of Earth & Space Exploration, he collaborated with astrophysicists on galaxy emission simulations, radio burst detection, and dark matter modeling, including work alongside Dr. Lawrence Krauss, Dr. Karen Olsen, and Dr. Adam Beardsley.On the podcast, Bhambri discusses the evolution of deep learning architectures from RNNs and CNNs to transformers and agentic RAG systems, the design of production-grade AI architectures with examples, and his long-term vision for intelligent systems that bridge research and real-world impact. and the engineering principles behind building production-grade AI at a global scale.// Related LinksPapers: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=2cpV5GUAAAAJ&hl=enPatent: https://search.ipindia.gov.in/DesignApplicationStatus ~~~~~~~~ ✌️Connect With Us ✌️ ~~~~~~~Catch all episodes, blogs, newsletters, and more: https://go.mlops.community/TYExploreJoin our Slack community [https://go.mlops.community/slack]Follow us on X/Twitter [@mlopscommunity](https://x.com/mlopscommunity) or [LinkedIn](https://go.mlops.community/linkedin)] Sign up for the next meetup: [https://go.mlops.community/register]MLOps Swag/Merch: [https://shop.mlops.community/]Connect with Demetrios on LinkedIn: /dpbrinkm

In this episode of AwesomeCast 761, Michael Sorg is joined by Intern Mac and Intern Tony for a wildly geeky night of robots, AI, VR, and very silly holiday gifts. We kick things off with the new Robosen Shockwave Transformer robot, a $1,000 self-transforming Decepticon boombox that doubles as a Bluetooth speaker, then fall down a rabbit hole of programmable Transformers, Buzz Lightyear, and WALL-E robots for STEM-minded kids. From there, Mac highlights Apple's latest Apple TV “liquid glass” intro, crafted with real glass panes and practical effects instead of AI – a hopeful sign for human artists in an AI-heavy world. Sorg shares what it's like living with an AI-generated news anchor on his Telly-style TV, including a bizarre “buff Judge Elvis” story that looks nothing like the real judge and points toward a future of AI hosts on gas-station and in-store TVs. The crew then revisits GameStop's “Trade Anything” day, reacting to reports of taxidermy, cans of beans, cursed plushies, and stressed-out employees caught between corporate hype and real-world chaos. On the gaming and VR side, we look at a mod project that brings classic shooters like Quake III, Doom 3, Redneck Rampage, and Quake 4 into standalone VR on Meta Quest headsets and reminisce about the clunky mall-VR rigs of the 1990s. Chachi's Video Game Minute covers the Helldivers movie, Netflix's proposed Warner Bros / WB Games deal, and rumored Japanese studios making design applicants draw by hand to avoid AI shortcuts – which leads into a deeper chat about Netflix potentially owning Mortal Kombat, Batman Arkham, DC Comics, and what that means for movies and games. Tony's Awesome Thing of the Week is pure chaos: the TikTok-viral “Butts on Things” activity books, puzzles, and Cheek-to-Cheek card game – proving once again that everyone finds butts funny and weird gifts win Christmas. We wrap with internship reflections, from Apple sock purses and new Apple gadgets to everything Mac and Tony have learned about podcast production, live streaming, editing, and social media on the Sorgatron Media shows. Stick around to the end for a tease of our Patreon-exclusive segment featuring the creepiest robot dogs you'll ever see.
In this episode of AwesomeCast 761, Michael Sorg is joined by Intern Mac and Intern Tony for a wildly geeky night of robots, AI, VR, and very silly holiday gifts. We kick things off with the new Robosen Shockwave Transformer robot, a $1,000 self-transforming Decepticon boombox that doubles as a Bluetooth speaker, then fall down a rabbit hole of programmable Transformers, Buzz Lightyear, and WALL-E robots for STEM-minded kids.

The Transformers Collectors' Club (TFCC) and Figure Subscription Service (TFSS) are front and centre this week as we delve into one of the most fascinating — and at times frustrating — eras in Transformers collecting.We were never members ourselves (thanks, geography!), but that didn't stop us getting FOMO from afar. Today we're diving into the toys, the distribution choices, the aftermarket drama, and the nostalgia surrounding a club that often felt just out of reach for anyone outside the US.From brilliant figures and wild character choices to eye-rolling shipping costs and maddening accessibility issues, we explore how the TFCC shaped collector culture during a very unique period for the brand — and why it inspired equal parts love and confusion.So sit back and join us for a fun but honest look at the highs, lows, and “you had to be there” moments of the Transformers Collectors' Club.Chapters0:00:00 Intro0:04:58 Sponsors: TFSource & Valart Studio0:09:21 What Is the Transformers Collectors' Club?0:13:46 TFCC Distribution Woes0:19:47 The Aftermarket Implication0:28:52 Why Were the Toy Choices So Intriguing?0:32:24 TFCC's Influence on Modern Generations0:41:25 Customer Service Drama?0:49:25 Favourite TFCC Toys0:56:42 TFCC Conclusions1:06:31 Patreon Q&A--------------------------------If you enjoy our podcast then find more... much more than meets the ear at www.patreon.com/tripletakeoverTONS of weekly exclusive content & perks, including bonus episodes, outtakes, early access and more!

In this episode, Illia Polosukhin joins Henrik and Jeremy to trace the origins of transformers and how practical constraints inside Google led to a breakthrough that reshaped modern AI. He explains why recurrent models were hitting limits, how parallel attention opened the door to scale, and why he believed a major jump in capability was imminent long before the rest of the world saw it.The conversation then turns to the risks and responsibilities of today's AI systems. Illia describes how models can be subtly guided to influence user opinions, why open weights are not the same as truly open models, and how hidden behaviors can be embedded during training. He explains why provenance and verifiable data pipelines matter, especially as AI begins mediating more of the information we rely on.Later in the episode, Illia outlines how blockchain can support trust, identity, and coordination in a future where AI agents act on our behalf. He shares why information is becoming more valuable than money, how ownership of personal AI models will shape user agency, and why domain expertise becomes significantly more powerful when paired with modern generative tools.Key Takeaways:Transformers emerged from practical constraints, not theoryIllia explains that the shift from recurrent networks to attention was driven by speed and parallelization needs at Google, not a desire to invent a new paradigm.AI's step change was foreseeable to early buildersIllia expected a ChatGPT level breakthrough several years before it arrived, based on clear research signals and accelerating model performance.Provenance and trust will define the next phase of AIAs AI systems can be subtly manipulated, Illia argues that verifiable data pipelines and transparent training processes are essential to prevent large scale misinformation.Ownership and identity matter in an agent driven worldIllia believes individuals will soon rely on AI agents that act autonomously, making it critical that users own their models and that interactions between agents are secured and verified.https://near.ai – NEAR AI Cloud and Private Chat products are now live, try them hereIllia's X: x.com/ilblackdragonIllia's Substack: ilblackdragon.substack.comNEAR X: x.com/nearprotocol00:00 Intro: AI and Information Control00:29 Meet Illia Polosukhin: Co-Author of 'Attention is All You Need'01:03 The Evolution and Impact of AI13:24 The Birth of Near AI and Blockchain Integration15:16 Challenges and Innovations in Blockchain and AI22:17 Privacy and Security in AI Applications26:58 Exploring Sleeper Agents in AI29:19 Practical AI Implementation in Teams30:06 AI's Role in Product Development31:41 Challenges and Future of AI in Development36:35 AI and Economic Alignment41:46 The Future of AI Agents44:14 Debrief

Circuit design found its language in Boolean logic.

There is some great, weird and just plain crazy news to talk through today. Have Hot Toys jumped the shark? Is Ben about to drop $1500 on a Soundwave? More Mondo, more Blokees and of course, More Todd. Franks TMNT collection lacks a life size element - could this change soon? Then we compare the newly released Origins Fright Zone with the vintage one - which in itself gives Scot the fright of his life!

Comics visionary Tom Scioli joins me for a wide-ranging, brain-melting conversation that jumps from classic TV to kaiju carnage to cosmic storytelling. If you know Tom's work — GØDLAND, Transformers vs. G.I. Joe, Fantastic Four: Grand Design — you already know he thinks bigger, weirder, and more ambitiously than almost anyone in comics. In this talk, we get into:• The Twilight Zone #2 From IDW and how Rod Serling's storytelling shapes Tom's approach to mythmaking• Godzilla Monsterpiece Theater from IDW as Tom pits the Kaiju against some lieterally giants • Space Opera Xanadax from Image as the purest form of comic-book imagination, and how Tom pushes the SF genre to its limits• His YouTube show Total Recall, where he digs into comics history, storytelling craft, and hidden TV and film gems with his trademark insight and enthusiasm Tom breaks down influences, process, philosophy, and the connective tissue between classic television, monster movies, and cosmic comics. It's equal parts film class, comics craft talk, and deep-fan celebration.
