Podcasts about Uncanny valley

After an extended undercover assignment, Benson is reunited with Stabler to investigate the poisoning of a model. The case involves drugs, a mute eyewitness, a rabid dog, and an affair between the victim's husband and Naomi, a beautiful dancer (Catherine Bell). Later, the detectives learn her husband Glenn (Bob Saget) has secretly implanted a microchip in his wife to keep tabs on her. He confesses to the revenge murder, but the chip has made Naomi gravely ill. Glenn donates part of his liver to save Naomi before being wheeled back to jail.We're talking about Special Victims Unit season 8 episode 9 "Choreographed." Our guest from the February 1, 2017 episode is "Outside/In" and "Bear Brook" senior producer Taylor Quimby - better known to our fans as Uncanny Valleys, the composer of our catchy theme song.Though not based on a crime, this SVU episode is inspired by the true story of microchip enthusiast Amal Graafstra.

Herzlich willkommen zu einer neuen Folge von „Die Gründer“ mit Ole und Yannick! In dieser Episode tauchen wir tief in das Thema Scams ein – von KI-gestützten Betrugsmaschen über clevere Dropshipping-Storys bis hin zu umstrittenen Marketingpraktiken bei populären Browser-Erweiterungen wie Honey. Wir sprechen offen darüber, wie leicht Menschen auf scheinbar harmlose Werbevideos hereinfallen, ob künstliche Intelligenz Scams wirklich überzeugender macht und warum manche Betrugsversuche geradezu durchschaubar inszeniert sind. Außerdem diskutieren wir am Beispiel von Honey, wo die Grenze zwischen smartem Produkt und fragwürdiger Verbrauchertäuschung verläuft, und werfen einen Blick auf die Herausforderungen bei der Zuschreibung von Provisionen im Online-Marketing. Ein spannender Mix aus aktuellen Phänomenen, echten Erfahrungsberichten und einer Prise Gründer-Realität – viel Spaß beim Reinhören!Feedback und Fragen gerne in die Bewertungen oder Kommentare des Podcasts.Hier findet ihr das besprochene Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCAHvkOz8rY&pp=ygUObGVkZXIgaGVycm1hbm4%3D Timestamps:00:00 Uncanny Valley in Video-Wahrnehmung05:15 TikTok-Taktik: Emotionaler Verkaufs-Trick08:27 KI und Honey Scam Diskussion13:10 Shop-Anbieter ignorieren Honey-Problematik17:24 Software: Hochmargig und flexibler im Vergleich18:38 VPN-Preise und Werbeausgaben21:49 Honeys Rabattstrategie für Webshop-Anbieter26:46 Gefahr einseitiger Werbestrategien30:19 Tracken ist essenziell, Bauchgefühl weniger

Episode 1469: Uncanny Valley

Episode 1469: Uncanny Valley

Dan starts this week with a very bizarre story. It's hard to even explain but we are off to Finland to review a tale about a sculpture garden. Then we head to Saudi Arabia to explore the lore around Bride of the Red Sea. Lynze really goes for it this week with five stories! They are short and quite varied. Her first two deal with family members sticking around after their deaths in very small, kind but still eery ways. Then, because it's March, she offers us a little Leprechaun tale. Then, we hear a tale of poltergeist activity not surrounding an angsty teen, which feels new. Lastly, a shadow figure that seems to leave behind some lasting effects. March Bad Magic Donation: This month, we are sending $11,800 to The AP.

Jimmy did DC December and now he's kicking off Marvel March Madness. Tony Fleecs returns to the podcast and he and Jimmy cover a lot of ground. They discuss Stray Dogs, Feral, Local Man, Army of Darkness Forever, Uncanny Valley, and of course the upcoming The Thing! Tony talks about the Feral world tour road trip, playing with zombie tropes, the magic that makes Uncanny Valley work, and pitching story ideas for The Thing. Plus Tony digs into the notion that maybe drawing all those wonderful My Little Pony comics left him with a bit of a chip on his shoulder.

On this episode of Virtual Sentiments, host Kristen Collins chats with Roos Slegers on the uncanny valley, Freud, and cyborg science fiction. They explore the uncanny valley and Freud's concept of the uncanny, connecting them to ETA Hoffmann's “The Sandman”, Donna Haraway's “Cyborg Manifesto”, and contemporary AI debates. While Mori's uncanny valley describes discomfort with almost-human robots, Freud links the uncanny to repressed fears, particularly around gender and sexuality. Roos critiques Freud's reading of “The Sandman”, highlighting its deeper commentary on romantic ideals and the preference for submissive, artificial women—paralleling modern AI assistants like those in the American sci-fi film, Her. Haraway's cyborg offers an alternative, challenging rigid binaries and embracing technology's potential for transgression and liberation. They critique how today's AI and transhumanist movements reinforce traditional hierarchies rather than dismantling them, urging a more critical and playful engagement with technology's role in shaping human identity.Dr. Roos Slegers is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Tilburg University in the Netherlands.Read more work from Kristen Collins.Notes: Masahiro Mori, 1970, “The Uncanny Valley"Sigmund Freud, 1919, “The Uncanny"Donna Haraway, 1985, “Cyborg Manifesto”ETA Hoffman, 1817, “The Sandman” Meghan O'Gieblyn, God, Human, Animal, Machine: Technology, Metaphor, and the Search for Meaning Metaphor, and the Search for Meaning, 2021If you like the show, please subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and tell others about the show!

The late nineteenth century marked a pivotal shift in how “the uncanny” was understood in art and literature, though the roots of eerie resemblance and disquieting near-human forms reach back further. By the 1870s, a transitional period was well underway in Europe, shaped by industrialization and the popularization of automata exhibitions. The public fascination with life-sized clockwork dolls that blinked their eyes or played musical instruments set the stage for the eerie feeling that occurs when something appears human but clearly lacks a human essence. Even before Sigmund Freud offered his famous essay “Das Unheimliche” in 1919, there were tantalizing experiments and anxieties circulating among intellectuals and the general populace. The German psychologist Ernst Jentsch, writing in 1906, introduced the word “uncanny” (in German, “unheimlich”) to discuss that peculiar shiver one feels when faced with an automaton or a wax figure that seems too close to life. His ideas laid much of the groundwork for Freud's subsequent interpretation.

With the rise of generative AI, the concept of the uncanny valley — where human resemblance unsettles, disturbs or disgusts — is more relevant than ever. But is it a problem that technologists need to tackle? Or does it offer an opportunity for greater thoughtfulness about the ways generative AI is being built, deployed and used? In this episode of the Technology Podcast, host Lilly Ryan is joined by Srinivasan Raguraman to discuss generative AI's uncanny valley and explore how it might offer a model for thinking through our expectations about generative AI outputs and effects. Taking in everything from the experiences of end users to the mental models engineers bring to AI development, listen for a wide-ranging dive into the implications of the uncanny valley in our experience of generative AI today.

In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, we explore the Uncanny Valley. This was inspired by a video I published about Apple's marketing campaign for Apple Intelligence. It turns out I'm not the only one unsettled by their approach. It's interesting to contrast these Apple commercials with those for Google Gemini. Apple presents its AI technology as a tool for masking personal flaws and promoting insincerity. Conversely, Google has framed AI as a social companion that enhances self-expression. It gives advice, and makes suggestions to help its users work on their goals. In other words, they frame Gemini as a support to enhance people's competence, confidence, and knowledge where Apple helps people deceive and pretend to be more skilled and knowledgeable than they really are. A Voice From The Uncanny Valley The Gemini adverts got me thinking about The Uncanny Valley. There is something eerie about the way they demonstrate the technology. Not least, seeing users glued to the phone, on the other end of which is a friendly disembodied humanoid. They have anthropomorphised this technology, giving it an uncanny human voice and the platform of a constant companion. It is a friend, teacher, mentor, cheerleader, and coach—the ultimate human! Or, perhaps not quite human. The Uncanny Valley hypothesis, coined by robotics professor Masahiro Mori in 1970, describes the discomfort humans feel toward entities that are almost but not fully human. The valley exists when something moves from anthropomorphised traits, as seen in animations of talking animals, cuddly toys with facial features, and the projected thoughts and feelings we give to our pets, to unnervingly realistic human characteristics. These nearly humans freak many of us out. But why do some of us seem more impacted than others? High Sensitivity and The Uncanny Valley Those who score higher on the sensitivity scale (Highly Sensitive People) may experience the uncanny valley more intensely due to their deeper sensory processing and emotional attunement. HSPs may be unsettled by artificiality, preferring clear distinctions between what is and isn't "real". It's interesting to consider this a foundational biological survival instinct rather than one of ethics or morality. In other words, highly sensory people unconsciously scan the world around, within, and between us, looking for signs of safety and danger. When we encounter something that seems real but doesn't feel right, it might leave us unsettled, prompting us to investigate further to see if an impostorous threat lurks within. HSPs process information deeply and are attuned to subtle sensory cues. We might detect unnatural contradictions, such as mismatched tone or body language, at a subconscious level. This attuned sensitivity can lead to unease during interactions with AI chatbots and humanoids, where inconsistencies may create discomfort even if not immediately apparent. As AI technology advances, the line between human and machine becomes more blurred, making it harder for HSPs to discern artificiality. Why Do We Make Machines in Our Image? The tendency to anthropomorphise technology—creating machines that mimic human behaviour—raises questions about our desire to replicate human characteristics in machines. It's strange! Why do we do this? Maybe it's some "god complex", or we are simply trying to figure out what it means to be human by considering what is still missing from creatures that look and sound like us. But we don't need to do this, and the uncanny valley hypothesis indicates that we would be more successful at trusting technology if we didn't try to make them in our image. Think about fictional droids, like R2-D2 and BB-8 in Star Wars. They are loveable despite, nay, because of their non-human forms. Yet they have distinct personalities and a range of emotional expressions. On the other hand, more humanoid machines like C-3PO can be profoundly irritating despite havi...

Breht dies and has a near-death experience, Dave struggles with derealization (and busting), then the boys talk politics and reflect on the election. After that, they discuss types of people they'd like to purge the planet of and different types of human intelligence, then Breht's son joins the show to reveal the TRUE Breht, and it ain't pretty... After that, the boys stare death in the face and are wiped off the face of the planet.

Send us a textThis From the Vault episode is not quite so dusty. Gemma and I recorded this in 2022, but it's more pertinent than ever. One because Gemma's great uncanny novella The Folly is being reissued this week, and two, because the world is a mad place right now, and we all need to take care of our minds. This conversation is all about that. An epic conversation about the issue of mental health as creators and consumers of dark stories. We dig DEEP into our own neuroses, and talk about how great horror comes with great responsibility. Yes, there is difficult, challenging stuff to churn through —  but there's also chat about the Uncanny Valley, Men in Black, Creepypasta and Black Mirror. And the ethics of vandalising racist statues. Enjoy! Support Talking Scared on Patreon Come talk books on Twitter @talkscaredpod, on Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com   Support the show
