On this episode of Some Future Day, we're taking to the skies. Literally! Drones are everywhere. From warfare to weddings, surveillance to Amazon deliveries, these flying machines are reshaping our world faster than most people realize. But behind the sleek designs and impressive tech lies a truth that's far more complex, and in some cases, dangerous.In this eye-opening episode, we break down ten facts about drones that everyone needs to know. You'll learn how drones have quietly become a $60 billion industry, why they're central to modern warfare, how law enforcement is using them for surveillance, and how your privacy may already be compromised. We uncover the surprising role drones play in agriculture and climate research, and why AI-powered swarms are no longer science fiction, but battlefield reality. This isn't just about cool tech. It's about ethics, safety, regulation, and the future of personal freedom.Whether you're an enthusiast, a skeptic, or just drone curious, these ten facts will change the way you see the world above you. This is some Future Day. And the future? It's flying right over your head.Episode Links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aviv-shapira/?originalSubdomain=ilXTEND: https://www.xtend.me/Order Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok

Hier findet man eine farbenfrohe und liebenswerte VR-Welt, die Fans der kleinen blauen Wesen begeistern wird. Das Spielprinzip ist ein klassisches Tower Defense, bei dem man als Schlumpf die wertvollen Blumen des Dorfes vor Gargamels Schergen verteidigt. Die Umsetzung in Virtual Reality ist hierbei das Herzstück: Man fühlt sich tatsächlich mittendrin, kann sich frei umsehen und die Umgebung erkunden, was einen hohen Immersionseffekt schafft. Die Steuerung ist intuitiv und leicht zugänglich, was auch VR-Neulingen den Einstieg erleichtert. Man nutzt verschiedene Fähigkeiten und Hilfsmittel, die typisch für die Schlümpfe sind, um die Angreifer abzuwehren. Die Grafik ist detailreich und liebevoll gestaltet, fängt den Charme der Vorlage perfekt ein und sorgt für eine angenehme Atmosphäre. Auch der Sound trägt zur authentischen Schlumpf-Erfahrung bei, ergänzt durch eine gelungene und hochwertige deutsche Vertonung, die die bekannten Charaktere lebendig werden lässt.Allerdings bietet das Spiel inhaltlich nicht allzu viel Tiefe. Die Level sind recht repetitiv, und auch wenn es verschiedene Gegnertypen gibt, wird das Spielprinzip auf Dauer etwas eintönig. Für Gelegenheitsspieler und Schlumpf-Fans ist der Titel dennoch eine nette Erfahrung, die für einige Stunden Spaß bereitet. Wer jedoch ein komplexes oder lang anhaltendes Tower Defense-Erlebnis sucht, könnte sich schnell unterfordert fühlen.

A History of the Church through its Buildings (Oxford University Press, 2021) by Allan Doig takes the reader to meet people who lived through momentous religious changes in the very spaces where the story of the Church took shape. Buildings are about people, the people who conceived, designed, financed, and used them. Their stories become embedded in the very fabric itself, and as the fabric is changed through time in response to changing use, relationships, and beliefs, the architecture becomes the standing history of passing waves of humanity. This process takes on special significance in churches, where the arrangement of the space places members of the community in relationship with one another for the performance of the church's rites and ceremonies. Moreover, architectural forms and building materials can be used to establish relationships with other buildings in other places and other times. Coordinated systems of signs, symbols, and images proclaim beliefs and doctrine, and in a wider sense carry extended narratives of the people and their faith. Looking at the history of the church through its buildings allows us to establish a tangible connection to the lives of the people involved in some of the key moments and movements that shaped that history, and perhaps even a degree of intimacy with them. Standing in the same place where the worshippers of the past preached and taught, or in a space they built as a memorial, touching the stone they placed, or marking their final resting-place, holding a keepsake they treasured or seeing a relic they venerated, probably comes as close to a shared experience with these people as it is possible to come. Perhaps for a fleeting moment at such times their faces may come more clearly into focus.

When officers respond to a call that seems routine — like a mental health check — they often have no idea how quickly that encounter could escalate. For Officer Alessandra Winterbauer of the Lincoln (Nebraska) Police Department, what began as a calm conversation with a confused subject turned into a life-or-death confrontation. Her ability to remain composed and rely on recent virtual reality training helped avoid a deadly outcome and led to her recognition with Axon's 2025 Jack Cover Save of the Year Award. Officer Winterbauer and a colleague were dispatched to check on a man experiencing a possible mental health crisis. After a calm 20-minute conversation, the man abruptly asked, “If I come at you guys with a knife, will you shoot me?” Moments later, he sprinted toward officers. Winterbauer deployed her TASER 10 from over 30 feet away — just minutes after completing VR-based TASER training. Her successful response neutralized the threat without serious injury, demonstrating the real-world value of immersive, high-frequency training.

 ”For the first time in history - less than a decade ago - chronic diseases started killing us more than famine, pestilence, bacteria, viruses, all those things combined.” Yet, despite the suffering of millions, innovation is being strangled by a broken pharmaceutical system where red tape, corporate greed, and bureaucratic middlemen leave patients behind.But what if there's another way? My guest, biotech entrepreneur and humanitarian Lou Reese, believes there is. And he's not just dreaming. Lou is building it. In this conversation, Lou reveals a radical new model for drug development and delivery, one that bypasses Big Pharma, puts patients first, and could bring breakthrough treatments to market faster and at a fraction of the cost.Together, we unpack how Parkinson's patients, just like those with Alzheimer's, are being failed by a system that prioritizes profit over access. And we explore how a bold America First Pharma plan might change that forever.This is a call to action! Because if we don't fight for innovation now, we'll be trapped in the same failing system tomorrow. This is Some Future Day. And that future starts now.Episode Links: Lou on X: https://x.com/NotLouReeseOrder Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok

I will be hosting at Summer Games Done Quick 2025 on Thursday and Saturday! I'll be hosting a Super Metroid race, DOOM: The Dark Ages, Super Mario 3, and a Kirby Super Star Ultra TAS! I will also be at the ATL Comic Convention on July 19th to moderate a panel with the performance actors of Red Dead Redemption. I was at Southern-Fried Gaming Expo and played some games (including a dual screen Commodore 128 game!), helped run a panel about obscure games, and moderated a panel with video game voice actors. It was rumored (and proven true after recording) that Microsoft was going to lay off thousands of people in their Xbox division. Beat Saber is ending support for PlayStation platforms, and will only allow multiplayer and new DLC for the Steam and Meta Quest platforms going forward. Then we talk to Rob about SFGE and Fantasy Life i.

Psychiatrist Carolyn Rodriguez studies hoarding disorder and says that all of us have attachments to our possessions. But for many, these attachments can disrupt daily life and even pose health risks. For those with loved ones who struggle with hoarding disorder, she says treatments exist, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Lately, she's been studying how virtual reality can augment CBT through virtual discarding practice and ways brain stimulation may improve symptoms. But, Rodriguez says, never underestimate the value of empathy for those in need of help, as she tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Welcome to Some Future Day. I'm Marc Beckman and today we're diving deep into the future of artificial intelligence with a visionary entrepreneur who's taking on one of AI's most pressing challenges: bias and racism. John Pasmore, founder and CEO of Latimer, recognized early on that unchecked biases embedded in AI could profoundly affect future generations. Inspired by the realization that his son and millions of others would interact with AI filled with implicit racial biases, John took decisive action to tackle these deep-rooted issues by providing training data that genuinely represents diverse perspectives. In today's conversation, we dive into why Latimer's unique approach - leveraging historical archives, textbooks, and dissertations from black and other overlooked cultures - is essential for an equitable digital future. Stay with us as we discuss the implications of biased AI, the ongoing fight for accurate representation in technology, and how each of us can help shape a fairer, more inclusive future, right here on Some Future Day.Episode Links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jpasmoreInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jpasmore/Latimer: https://www.latimer.ai/Order Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok

We've been living digitally for decades. While many of us think romantically about an analog and physical existence, the future is not taking us back there, but deeper into a digital immersion.

In this episode, filmed live at the Rulebreaker Future Congress in Germany, Lyron paints the possibilities of virtual reality in creating moments of deeper connection, by rethinking digital – not necessarily physical - experiences we are used to today.----------More:Looking Outside podcast www.looking-outside.comConnect with host, Jo Lepore on LinkedIn & X & jolepore.comLearn more about Lyron via his Entrepreneur & WSJ & CEOWorld profilesFollow Lyron on LinkedIn and XFollow The Glimpse Group on LinkedIn & XLearn more on the Rulebreaker Future Congress & the Rulebreaker Society----------⭐ Follow & rate the show - it makes a difference!----------Looking Outside is a podcast exploring fresh perspectives of familiar topics.

While fresh back from the Florida Dental Lab Association meeting in Orlando, THANKS JENSEN DENTAL (https://jensendental.com/)… we are still bringing you conversations from the exocad (https://exocad.com/) booth from the largest dental show in the world, IDS in Cologne Germany (https://www.english.ids-cologne.de/). But first… We are many, many months away from Chicago in February, but our very own Barb Warner is going to be the very first female Chair of the Cal-Lab Association (https://cal-lab.org/) that is over 100 years old. Let's make this the most well-attended event ever. Head over to Cal-Lab.org and sign up for this amazing meeting that takes place the Thursday and Friday of the same weekend as Lab Day Chicago. Let's all plan to go and support Barb! Now, first up we chat with a dentist from India, Dr. Manish Chhabra. After going though the school, Dr. Chhabra discovered that he really had a fondness for digital design. So he opened a lab. Eventurally he meets the owner of Leixir Dental Lab Group (https://www.leixir.com/) and formed a partnership to open a design center in India to support the group of labs. Starting with 2 employees and taking it to 300, Dr. Chhabra learned all about training and scaling. Now he has set off and created dgadental.com (https://dgadental.com/) to train clinicans and technicians using VR headsets. Then we sit down with someone from Ivoclar (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_li) that has a lot to do with their success, Tobias Specht. Tobias came on the podcast about 2 years ago and this time stops by to update us on celebrating 20 years of emax (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_li/products/metal-free-ceramics/all-ceramics) , their new Ivotion Printed Base (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_li/products/digital-processes/3d-printing-materials) and how easy it is to reline, what Ivoclar has going on at IDS in their two booths, and a new way to mill emax faster. So much is covered, it's hard to believe it all new from Ivoclar. Take it from Laura Prosser, the digital marketing manager for Ivoclar North America (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us). She would like to invite you to start following them on Instagram. It's your chance to obtain exclusive updates on product announcements, industry news, upcoming educational events, and heartwarming stories about our local team and industry professionals. Let's get social together. Simply start following us on Instagram @Ivoclar.na (https://www.instagram.com/ivoclar.na/). We'll see you there. Special Guests: Dr Manish Chhabra and Tobias Specht.

On this episode of the Ruff Talk VR podcast we are mixing things up and taking a week off of news. Instead we are listing what we consider to be the best VR games for new suers. Games that are fun, capture what makes VR great, but have a low risk of causing nausea or turning off a new user. This list only begins to scratch the surface of great VR games and we easily could have listed many more games. Big thank you to all of our Patreon supporters!

Antisemitism isn't just rising in America, it's exploding. And while our institutions hesitate, the attacks are getting louder, deadlier, and more brazen. Just this spring, during Passover, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's home was targeted in an arson attack while he and his family were asleep inside. Soon thereafter, a young Jewish couple was murdered in cold blood in Washington, D.C. Their only crime? Being Jewish.And in Boulder, Colorado, an Egyptian national terrorist launched a brutal assault using Molotov cocktails and a flamethrower on a group of Jewish people who were peacefully assembled to support the Israeli hostages. The attack injured an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor, plus 11 other individuals.The question is no longer whether antisemitism exists. The question is: Why is America tolerating it? On today's episode of Some Future Day, I sit down with Robert Spencer, scholar, historian, and author of the new book “Antisemitism: History and Myth.” Together we trace the ancient roots of Jew hatred, explore how Islamic extremism and Western academia are feeding the flames, and confront the role social media and influencers are playing in amplifying the world's oldest hatred. This conversation is raw, necessary, and deeply unsettling. But it's one we can't avoid. If we stay silent now, the future of Jews in America could mirror the darkest chapters of our past.Episode Links:Website: https://jihadwatch.org/X: https://x.com/jihadwatchRSInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jihadwatch.robertspencer/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JihadWatchVideo"Antisemitism: History and Myth" by Robert Spencer: https://a.co/d/12lfxyEOrder Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok
