„Trick 17 mit Selbstüberlistung“ oder Selbstversuch in Sachen Vibe-Check in Sachen Österreich Urlaub mit künstlicher Intelligenz und Gehirn-Computer-Schnittstellen Vorweg: Wer's für Firlefanz hält, hat sich hinterher eventuell getäuscht. Ich musste mir eingestehen: Da helfen nicht mal Strategien der potentiellen Überführung. Per Installation zum Bedürfnis Ich habe zwei Installationen getestet, die von Kreativen aus Linz an der Donau entwickelt wurden. Ars Electronica Solutions haben gemeinsam mit der Österreich Werbung zwei unterschiedliche, aber im Ergebnis ähnliche Installationen entwickelt. Sie sollen dem ratlosen Urlauber den Traumurlaub „Made in Austria“ bescheren. Dies geschieht auf unterschiedliche Weise. Einmal durch unbewusste Erfassung meiner Feriensehnsucht durch Gehirnwellenmessung. Die Gehirn-Computerschnittstelle soll also meine geheimen Urlaubssehnsüchte ermitteln. Als Alternative besteht auch die Möglichkeit durch die Beantwortung von Fragen meinen persönlichen Urlaubs Vibe-Check durch Beantwortung von Fragen zu ermitteln, um diesen dann in einem weiteren Prozess in meinen persönlichen Austria Vibe-Check zu verwandeln. Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD KI und mehr Aufsehen erreg(t)en die beiden Programme sicher auch, weil von künstlicher Intelligenz und von Gehirnwellenmessungen die Rede war. Dies in Zeiten, wo's auch im Tourismus kaum ein Thema gibt, das die Gemüter heftiger bewegt und nach einem Jahr, in dem Österreich die eine oder andere Minuszahl einstecken musste. Damit passt das zum Ganzjahresclaim „Austria, Won't get it out of your Head” – zu Deutsch: „Österreich kriegst Du nicht mehr aus dem Kopf“. Test 1: Die Gehirnwellenmessung Böse KI oder was? Nein: Kreative Nutzung wissenschaftlicher Methoden. Das lässt aufhorchen und weckt den Erfindergeist. Geheime Urlaubssehnsüchte ermitteln. Meine Reaktion: Ha! Das wollen wir doch mal sehen. Das System wird sich blamieren. Ich werde es überlisten, denn das kann ja gar nicht funktionieren. Also vorab genau überlegt, was ich denn mal in Österreich machen will. Erika Mondria – Foto: Ars Electronica Hand aufs Herz. Kann das so ein Programm eigentlich? Verrät meine Gehirnaktivität wirklich, was ich will? Und will ich das eigentlich? Angekommen bei Erika Mondria muss ich jetzt erst mal die Gummikappe mit den Sensoren aufsetzen und mich einrichten lassen. Währenddessen erzählt mir die Fachfrau für Brain-Computer-Interfaces wie das alles funktionieren wird. Im Podcast könnt Ihr „live on Tape“ dabei sein, wie so etwas vor sich geht. Das Ergebnis erstaunt mich und die Wissenschaftlerin. Ich habe das Programm nicht überlistet, sondern mich selbst. Man ertappt sich dabei einen Urlaub geplant zu haben. Die Gehirn-Computer-Schnittstelle behauptet etwas anderes und ich muss zugeben, dass es vielleicht gar nicht so unrecht hat. Test 2 – Urlaubs-Vibe-Check Yvonne Metnitzer – Foto: Ars Electronica Solutions Ob hier Ähnliches herauskommt? Diesmal soll nichts Unterbewusstes verwendet werden. Hier habe ich meine Entscheidung selber in der Hand, ganz ohne Sensoren unter der Gummihaube. Es gilt Yvonne Metnitzer, bzw. dem Computer Fragen zu beantworten. Auch hier seid Ihr im Podcast „wie live“ dabei. Ich habe mehr Fragen beantwortet, als man hört. Die Kürzung ist aber nur der Länge des Beitrags geschuldet. Es ist ein zweiteiliger Test. In Teil 1 geht es um die Beantwortung meiner eigenen Bedürfnisse, Träume und Stimmung. Teil 2 überträgt dann meinen “Urlaubstyp” konkret in die Angebotpalette Österreichs. Bei beiden Programmen bleibt am Ende die Visualisierung meines Urlaubs. Erstaunlicherweise kommt bei Test 2 erneut das heraus, was ich bereits beim ersten Programm, der Gehirnwellenmessung angezeigt bekam. Die Testvorgabe Eigentlich hatte ich ja etwas ganz Anderes angegeben. Ich wollte nach über 20 Jahren endlich mal wieder nach Wien. Kaffeehaus, die Stadt, Museen und Theater oder Oper genießen. Nach 20 Jahren wieder mal Wien. Die KI war dagegen – Foto: Wien Tourismus / Christian Stemper Das Testergebnis Visualisiert wurde beide Male eine Landschaft. Im Vordergrund ein See mit einem Steg ins Wasser. Im Hintergrund hohe Berge und kein Mensch weit und breit. Das Bild hat Weite und ein blauer Himmel überspannt die Szene. Visual: Mein persönlicher Urlaubsvibe – Grafik Ars Electronica Solutions / Österreich Werbung Soll mich auch dieser zweite „bewusste“ Test, der mit meinen Angaben ein fiktives Ziel erstellt, jetzt endgültig überzeugen? Es scheint so, denke ich und Yvonne meint, das müsse wohl so sein. Ich stelle zudem fest, dass ein selbstgemachtes Reisebild aus der Hochsteiermark meinem Vorschlag ziemlich nah kommt. Hatte ich mich nicht genau dort besonders wohlgefühlt? Der Übertrag in die Zielwahl – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Wichtig: Auf der Grafik, die man ausgedruckt und geschenkt bekommt befindet sich zusätzlich ein QR-Code, der einen dann gleich an die in Frage kommenden Ziele weiterleitet. Wer will könnte buchungstechnisch sofort Nägel mit Köpfen machen. Persönliches Fazit Ich hatte wieder mal geplant und die KI hat mir nicht nur auf der Basis meiner Gehirnreaktionen, sondern auch aufgrund meiner eigenen Aussagen einen ganz anderen Urlaub empfohlen. Die Annäherung fiel dann nicht schwer, wenn man davon absieht, dass an meinem Traumsee das Kaffeehaus fehlt. Kaffeehaus in Wien – Foto: Julius Hirtzberger / Wien Tourismus Es war ein besonderer Ausflug in die Welt der künstlichen Intelligenz. Er überzeugt und beängstigt gleichermaßen. Immerhin weiß ich jetzt eventuell, was gut für mich ist in den Ferien. Schwankend zwischen Misstrauen und Faszination nehme ich zur Kenntnis, dass mir diese Analyse einen neuen, ganz eigenen Weg gewiesen hat, auf den ich ohne diese Erfahrung vermutlich nicht gestoßen wäre. Das Programm könnte im Tourismusmarketing sicher eine interessante Rolle spielen. Ob es dazu kommt? Wer weiß. Noch gibt es dieses Programm weder online noch im Reisebüro.

In this episode, we react to Tony Petitti’s public push for a 24-team College Football Playoff and try to sort through what it actually means for the sport. Is expansion really about access, regular-season stakes, and rewarding more teams, or is it mostly about television inventory, conference leverage, and the ongoing ESPN vs. Fox tug-of-war? We also talk through why the SEC’s preference for 16 teams suddenly puts some fans in the strange position of... rooting for Greg Sankey. Then it’s time for an ACC vibe check, as we take a look at the conference before full preview season kicks into gear. Miami looks like the league’s clearest headliner, but after that, things get messy fast. We work through the conference’s biggest connective tissues, including offensive line questions, thin receiver rooms, quarterback uncertainty, Cal’s wide range of outcomes, Louisville’s favorable path, Georgia Tech’s possible regression, and whether Virginia Tech or NC State could turn into a surprise playoff-adjacent story. Also included: Slices 'N Steps in NYC, illegal-streaming hypotheticals, Chili’s corn nostalgia, and the beginning of what may become a fully realized ACC-as-abandoned-mall taxonomy.

We’re midway through May, which means it’s time to start talking ourselves into, and out of, what the 2026 college football season could become. In this episode, we turn the month itself into a game with a Big Ten “Mayyyyybe” vibe check, asking which scenarios feel realistic, which ones feel like offseason nonsense, and which ones might look strangely prescient by November. Could Ohio State’s schedule create a real College Football Playoff problem? Is Maryland quietly positioned to take a step forward? Can Wisconsin stabilize things for Luke Fickell, Iowa mess around with a playoff run, or UCLA become one of the more interesting teams in the conference under Bob Chesney? We also dig into Oregon’s internal coordinator hires, Michigan’s tricky first year under Kyle Whittingham, and USC’s unlucky, unforgiving schedule. Along the way, there are schedule sandwiches, quarterback questions, offensive line concerns, coaching crush rankings, a surprising amount of hernia talk, and more.

In this episode, we're joined by Cole Cubelic (SEC Network, McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning, The Cube Show) for an SEC vibe check. It's not a preview, just the temperature of the conference in late April. Cole pulls no punches on the reality facing SEC fan bases: Nick Saban's standards aren't coming back, sub-goals like winning the conference have been devalued, and we've collectively forgotten what a genuinely successful season looks like. Plus, we dive in the strange Kalen DeBoer hot seat chatter, Shane Beamer's underrated portal wizardry at South Carolina, why the Alex Golesh hire at Auburn matters more than who left in the portal, Texas's need for hard-hat glue guys to pair with its sports cars, and whether Lane Kiffin's LSU rebuild can actually cohere in year one.We also discuss the loss of program continuity in the transfer portal era, the new nine-game SEC schedule as a gauntlet-within-a-gauntlet, and a big wave of defensive coordinator turnover that could make September interesting.Support the show!: https://www.patreon.com/solidverbalSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jacob Collier is a rare musician: an expert in so many musical languages (western harmony, negative harmony, microtonalism) and a phenomenal communicator about music. He's something like an Ambassador for Music, traveling the world and getting thousands of people, musicians and non-musicians alike, to sing in his audience choirs. Live at On Air Fest, this conversation, catches Jacob between projects. Last year he released The Light for Days, a comparatively minimalist collection of songs written on his special five-string guitar, a quiet turn after the massive Djesse quadrilogy, which featured over 50 collaborators from Herbie Hancock to Anoushka Shankar and wove hundreds of thousands of audience choir voices into the recordings. Given that Jacob is always improvising with the best collaborators, Charlie wanted one of his own own. Five minutes before the show, Charlie spotted Sam Sanders, co-host of Vibe Check and host of the Sam Sanders Show on KCRW, and asked him onstage. Sam's a musician and one of the great interviewers, and he showed how improvising in conversation is just as essential as it is in music. Learn more about your ad choices.
