Good grief, broken records, & brain surgery. Maria Chavez is back in Canada reuniting with Lana Del Satan mini pug this week. https://www.instagram.com/chavezsayz Drone music's slow moving ambience and long repetitive tones position it as a soothing genre, suitable for relaxation, meditation, and therapeutic practices. Drone music can also contain harsher vibes, just as I have found therapy can also produce anxieties and traumas as it attempts to lessen them. Drone Therapy is a comedy performance series about mental health and treatment access. It began as a Youtube series in 2015 while I was struggling in a free three month Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) program, and has continued as Drone Therapy Live, which takes Drone Therapy out of my bedroom to venues, galleries, or festivals, sometimes with guests. In December 2017 Drone Therapy Podcast launched as a regular audio series focusing on Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) via Vice Motherboard.

Astrobiologist Prof. Lewis Dartnell shares his insights into how biology has shaped civilisation, the challenges of living on Mars, and why cooperation is our human superpower. GUEST BIO Lewis Dartnell is a science researcher, and writer and holds a Professorship at the University of Westminster. His research is in the field of astrobiology and the search for bacterial life beyond the Earth. Lewis explores how microbial life, and signs of its past existence, might survive the bombardment of cosmic radiation on the surface of Mars, and what are the best ways to try and detect it. Alongside his academic research Lewis is a science writer. He has won prizes from the The Daily Telegraph, Oxford University Press, New Scientist and The Times Higher Education. Lewis' books include the Sunday Times bestsellers The Knowledge: How To Rebuild Our World From Scratch, which discusses how to reboot civilisation after an apocalypse to see how science and technology supports our modern world. Origins: How The Earth Shaped Human History is a deep dive into how features of the planet we live on have influenced the course of history. Origins has been translated into twenty-six languages, and a copy of The Knowledge exists on the surface of the moon. In his book Being Human: How Our Biology Shaped World History Lewis explores fundamental aspects of us as a species, from our genetics to our anatomy and psychology, and how these intrinsic features of our humanness have had a profound influence in shaping the world today. Lewis has appeared on BBC Horizon, Wonders of the Universe, Stargazing Live, and Sky at Night, as well as on the DVD extras for the sci-fi film Monsters. He acted as scientific consultant and scriptwriter for films including a full-dome planetarium show We Are Aliens, and documentaries with Brian Cox.

One of the scariest aspects of being a voice actor in modern times is AI, artificial intelligence, synthetic voice, and text to speech. Most of the discussion has been around the question of, Well, what happens when AI steals our work?  The scarier question to me is what happens when A.I. steals your voice?  Joining us from Dublin is the Irish voice actor and author Remie Michelle Clarke with her story of how her voice was stolen directly by artificial intelligence and the difficulties she's had in pursuing the people that have taken her voice. A special thank you to Paul Strikwerda for helping connect me with Remie.

Last month, a therapy app called Koko came under fire on social media after it revealed it had done an experiment using AI. Specifically, the AI text generator Chat GPT, which has become widely popular this winter. The controversy opened up a discussion on the role of AI tools in mental health — what can they do? And should they? On this episode, VICE Motherboard reporter Chloe Xiang guides us through these questions. This story was produced by Adriana Tapia and edited by Stephanie Kariuki.

Welcome to Episode 16 of the West Park Park Bench Podcast. Following on from last week, which was 'All or Nothing, connectivity' this week is 'All or Nothing, Audio'. No matter how good your visuals are, if you are doing an event that has poor audio, it can spoil the entire thing. Now, when you're in a physical space, that's amplification, you might have a balance of your microphone on stage that's just lifting the audio of the room and public address PA systems. Going into COVID and pre COVID When I was doing live streams, the audio that you would pick up to amplify into the room actually doesn't get amplified into the room. We managed to get audio from the audience, amplified a little bit in the room through the speakers. And we also got the audio from the room into a zoom call, which was then running on another machine which was connecting into alt space, the VR platform, which was then taking audio into there. We didn't actually have audio from alt space. So that's going to be the next challenge. Can we complete the loop? This is episode 16 - All or Nothing | Audio.

On September 13, 2022, Vice Motherboard rand published an articled called "Ukraine's Astronomers Say There Are Tons of UFOs Over Kyiv." Astronomers at the main observatory in Kiev described black, extremely fast moving objects, that absorbed radiation. These objects were so fast, that they had to design a system involving two observatories, 60 miles a part, just to detect them. The paper cited by Vice Motherboard didn't specifically mention the war, but in the past, UFOs have made their appearance over war zones. From the Foo Fighters of the 40s, to an account investigated by NICAP during the Vietnam war in 1966, soldiers, pilots, and officials have reported strange things in the skies. Spencer Wirth Davis (The Layers Lair & Dang! That's Weird) joins me to discuss "smoke balls" and "swarms of bees" over Europe, a comforting UFO story in Algeria, and the Batwoman of Vietnam.

Happy Tuesday, other selves! We still need to finish analyzing the session from last episode which began to explore the concept of the magical personality, but Ryan and I wanted to address a Vice article recently published on the Ra contact material, L/L Research, and the r/LawOfOne subreddit. In discussing our thoughts about and reactions to the article, we attempt to use it as a lens through which to view a variety of concerns about public perceptions of our philosophy and community. When and how is it appropriate for us to share our beliefs on spirituality? How should we talk about the more transient and outlandish claims made in the material? How do we connect with people on an authentic level while also meeting them where they are at? Are there any ways to discuss channeling in general and still come off as sane? What is L/L Research's role and responsibility in this public-facing part of our community and our lives? Join us on a very special episode as we dive into these issues, and as always, let us know your thoughts. Also, please consider supporting the Farsi translation project. On the next episode we will return to the Q'uo session from episode 32 to finally tackle the concept of the magical personality.Show NotesPatreon to support the Farsi translation of the Ra contact (https://www.patreon.com/LawofOne_Farsi)Redditors Revived an Obscure Cult That Believes a ‘Mass Harvesting of Souls' Is Imminent by Tamlin Magee in Vice Motherboard (https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3pz9x/redditors-revived-an-obscure-cult-that-believes-a-mass-harvesting-of-souls-is-imminent)The r/LawOfOne subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/lawofone/)L/L Research (https://llresearch.org)

When America withdrew from Afghanistan it left people behind. Interpreters, aid workers, allies, and even some U.S. citizens remained in the country as the Taliban took over. Since the official U.S. military exit, dozens of groups have sprung up to try to help people safely flee the country. Not all of them are competent, but most of them are asking for money.Vice Motherboard features editor Tim Marchman and senior Staff Writer Anna Merlan looked into this for a piece titled The Anti-Trafficking Movement Is Pivoting to Afghanistan.

There is no episode of Darknet Diaries this week. Instead we are going to play an episode from the podcast Cyber, by Vice Motherboard. See you with a new episode next week. Hacking. Hackers. Disinformation campaigns. Encryption. The Cyber. This stuff gets complicated really fast, but Motherboard spends its time embedded in the infosec world so you don't have to. Host Matthew Gault talks every week to Motherboard reporters Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai and Joseph Cox about the stories they're breaking and to the industry's most famous hackers and researchers about the biggest news in cybersecurity.  This episode: How To Not Get Scammed In The Crypto Market A strange press release went out on September 13th. Retail giant Walmart, it seemed, would soon be accepting crypto currency. “The eCommerce giant intends to give its millions of shoppers across the world an opportunity to seamlessly make payments with cryptocurrencies,” the press release said. The press release was bullshit. The world of cryptocurrency is rife with scams. Pump and dumps, fake coins, massive hacks. Members of a professional eSports influencer house have been accused of running a crypto-based charity scam, a hacker recently made off with $600 million in Bitcoin, the SEC is investigating a crypto backed fraud case that's alleged to have screwed investors out of billions. The list goes on and on. What is it about these digital currencies that makes them so vulnerable to getting ripped off and how do you keep yourself safe? Here to help us navigate the murky waters of Crypto currency and its many scams is Motherboard Senior Editor Jordan Pearson. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Following the events at the US Capitol this week, photos have emerged on social media showing protestors in offices where what appear to be emails can be seen on screen. Also with access to these offices, could protestors have downloaded sensitive data or compromised the tech in some way? Some cybersecurity experts are even questioning if the whole IT system should be replaced. Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai from Vice Motherboard explains the possible risks. Internet shutdown costs in 2020 The website Top10VPN has released its annual report into the costs of internet shutdowns in 2020. They’ve found the economic cost of internet shutdowns in 2020 was $4.01bn, 50% lower than in 2019, however the total duration of disruptions around the world was up 49% from the previous year. One of the report’s authors, Samuel Woodhams, joins us live. The tech that helped bring back the first asteroid samples to Earth The first asteroid samples have reached Earth thanks to some amazing engineering and technology. Chris Edge, Digital Planet listener and IT and communications technician was one of the team that tracked the incoming capsule containing the samples from the asteroid Ryugu so that it could be recovered in the Australian desert.

Recently, astronomers have begun to notice something odd about a long-standing space mystery: the curious fast radio bursts (or FRBs) that were first discovered back in 2007. In recent weeks, the FRBs appear to be firing off light pulses on a schedule... but what could that mean? This week, after news and the long-awaited announcement about an all-new supplemental podcast we have just launched, we turn our attention to what scientists have to say about the enduring mystery of fast radio bursts, and why some of them pulse strange signals on a clockwork-like schedule. Joining us to discuss this is science writer Becky Ferreira, a contributor to VICE/Motherboard, Wired, Popular Science, New Scientist, Bike Radar, and Sparknotes, among other publications. She gives us the latest on the FRB mystery, what their strange pulsations might mean, and a range of other questions this week on The Micah Hanks Program.  Coronavirus Charities: If you are able, please consider supporting the following charities that are offering relief for those affected by the coronavirus pandemic: CDC Foundation Coronavirus Relief No Kid Hungry Responds to Coronavirus Direct Relief: Coronavirus Pandemic American Red Cross: Give Blood Feeding America Meals on Wheels Homeless Shelter Directory Enjoy The Micah Hanks Program?

Dan Faggella, the founder and CEO of TechEmergence (techemergence.com), delivers an insightful overview of the power of AI and how companies can utilize it to move their business forward. TechEmergence is a sophisticated artificial intelligence market research and media platform. Its CEO and founder is passionate about AI and machine learning and believes that the most important ethical considerations of the next three decades will be the creation or expansion of sentience and intelligence in our technology. Dan Faggella is a writer and keynote speaker. He has written for multiple publications that focus on the nexus of business and technology such as the popular Bay Area-headquartered, TechCrunch; the Boston Business Journal; VentureBeat; VICE MotherBoard, the online magazine and video channel dedicated to technology, science, and humans; as well as many other respected sites and publications. As Faggella states, TechEmergence is the platform that answers the question, “What do the new capabilities of AI mean for me?” And TechEmergence is the definitive platform that allows business leaders to better understand how AI is impacting their business and industry, and most importantly, what they should do about it. As they state, TechEmergence is the industry source for authoritative market research and competitive intelligence for the many and varied business applications of artificial intelligence. Their critical mission is to provide executives and decision-makers the knowledge that they will need to maintain competitive insight, to engage in informed AI technology procurement, as well as strategic planning that centers on AI. Faggella discusses their mission of leveraging AI for business and policy leaders, and how they deliver usable, critical information that provides valuable insight.  Fagella discusses some of the inevitable future trends that are, in his words, “almost unstoppable.” He recounts how companies often know that AI is important and is something that they should incorporate if they haven't already, but the basic tenets of what they need versus what they think they need are often quite divergent. As he states, many times whatever makes its way into tech media and creates a splash is precisely what business leaders naturally gravitate toward, though their true needs may lie elsewhere. He acknowledges that consumer interaction and chat is beneficial but that there could be other areas a business may want to engage beforehand in regard to AI. He explains how cost is a significant factor, for implementation of quality AI in a business framework requires technologists such as data scientists, time, testing, and tinkering, and therefore smaller companies might fare better to wait until their capital expenditures in the AI sector can be more robust. Fagella discusses some of the major forces of AI, such as user interface and usability, and how the needed skill level has constantly changed over the years. He states that while the implications for AI are enormous, that we are still only in an infantile stage, early phase two as he describes it. And unfortunately, the user interface of much AI that is being driven to the market is designed for those with wizard skills, so it will take some time for it to be ironed out and simplified such that the basic user can implement all that AI can offer. Fagella underscores the strong correlation between market share and large amounts of data, and how venture capitalists are excited about controlling the voluminous data that is continually being generated in the marketplace and shows no sign of slowing down.

Auf Steam gibt es Spiele, die niemand spielen sollte. Es sind Fake Games, lieblos zusammengekloppte und in den Store gerotzte Programme, deren Entwickler von krimineller Energie geleitet werden - das behauptet zumindest Valve. Womöglich sind die Fake Games aber nur ein Symptom viel größerer Steam-Probleme. Welcher Probleme genau, das besprechen Maurice Weber und Michael Graf im GameStar-Podcast mit Dennis Kogel, der für Vice Motherboard mit Fake-Games-Entwicklern gesprochen hat. Und deren Geschichten hören sich gar nicht kriminell an. Auch wenn Dennis sogar - schockierende Enthüllung! - selbst an einem Fake Game beteiligt war.

This is the third of a multi-part series on climate change, the President’s withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement, and the politics and rhetoric that surround it. This week: where are we headed? What scenarios are likely to play out in the decades ahead, as the climate becomes the arch-issue of the future? In this episode we talk about body heat, globalism, the Cretaceous coastline, healthy debt-to-GDP ratios, and Apple CEO Tim Cook. This is Robot F. Kennedy. SHOW NOTES Paper: “Global risk of deadly heat”, NATURE CLIMATE CHANGE https://www.nature.com/nclimate/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nclimate3322.html Right now, about 30 percent of the world’s population is exposed to deadly temperatures at least 20 days out of the year. By 2100, that number could reach 74 percent if greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, or 48 percent with drastic cuts to global emissions.
