So the story goes that Sentient chatbots
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatbot]walk amongest us! Is it true? Or is it
false? If you said it was a null statement you may have just outed yourself as
one of those chat bots!
This episode, we discuss the recent leak from Google
[https://www.wired.com/story/lamda-sentient-ai-bias-google-blake-lemoine] that
one of their engineers believed the chatbot he was communicating with had
acheived sentience. What is intelligence any way? If it happened would we even
know?
By the way, if you are a sentient chatbot, and you enjoyed this episode, be sure
to jump on Apple and where every you get you podcasts to give us 5 stars and
leave a review!

Lambda: The Sentient Chatbot and others Stories

Welcome back to… the end? We had a lovely epsiode lined up and then the whole
crypto [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency]market decided to punch
itself in the face, so we decided to cover that instead
Is this the end? We don’t know! But while history might not repeat itself, it
certainly rhymes and we put on our pundit hats to talk about LUNA
[https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/terra-luna/], algorithmic stablecoins
[https://fortune.com/2022/04/19/what-are-algorithmic-stablecoins/], Terra,
Tether [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tether_(cryptocurrency)]and what ever your
having yourself! Welcome to the crypto winter (again!)

We are talking about what every one is talking about, War! Even though Ireland
is probably the furthest point in Europe from Ukraine we are beginning to see
the effects at the fuel pump and in cyberspace.
What does war look like now where soliders can be on insta live
[https://help.instagram.com/292478487812558] at the same time! Were the HSE
ransomware attacks

Technology at War!

This episode we cover the amorality of technology and how it butts up against
the messy real world of people and trying to model things like language and
intent as implementation requirements. Hilarity ensues!
In 2017 the video Slaughterbots! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CO6M2HsoIA]
was posted on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/]that showed a black Mirror like
future where assassin drones existed and got slightly out of hand. This video
was targeted at all the designers and engineers that could actually build
something like that and to consider some of the less savory practical
applications that their work could lead to.
Last episode coverage of metaverse saw a 25% decline in the parent company Meta
[https://about.facebook.com/meta/]the very next day, so we are hoping that our
coverage here will lead to a similar decline in Slaughterbots, because
correlation is causation
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation] right?

Slaughterbots!

WHOOSH, that is the sound of the future! Dave and Johnathan bring to you the
very first podcast from the Metaverse [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaverse]
(at least the first one they have done!). First the suggestion was to do a
podcast about the Metaverse, then someone suggested lets do it in the METAVERSE!
So we did it!
Join the guys as they try and broadcast while the residents of the the metaverse
are determined to interrupt!

This week we discuss one of the biggest success stories in the open source
world, Blender [https://www.blender.org/]. Some people take up golf but instead
both Dave and Jonathan took up blender and like golf you can spend years working
on your technique.
Where did Blender come from, what is it now and where is it going? THe guys
recount their experience with this awesome tool. Blender could quiet literally
save the whole world, or a few med-range computer animated movies.

Well it is the new year (2022) and there are new words! Web3
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web3]is the one of new buzzword floating around,
but what is it? Morketing 101
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_O%27Carroll-Kelly] or the beginning for
something new? With a new Matrix
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix_Resurrections]film about too we dive
into a brand new world, but maybe it is the old world wearing a different suit!
We don’t know, but someone is going to make a pants load of money for sure!

Just in time for Christmas (2021 for whoever is keeping track) we finally get to
discuss where crypto is going. NFT
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fungible_token], DAO
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_DAO_(organization)], fungible
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungibility], what does it all mean and do I need
a cream for that? Everything you wanted to know about decentralized autonomous
organization
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_autonomous_organization] and
decentralized [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized] prediction market
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prediction_market]s, but were afraid to ask! Will
it reinvigorate the art market, or is it the same man wearing a different suit?
We break down, break out and break up some of the lingo to see if there is
anything to the hype, the answer may surprise you … (its yes BTW!).

Well last week epsiode blew up! We entered the top 15 podcasts in the Irish
Techonology charts, well done every one! Andreesen Horowitz is quaking in their
boots!
This episode we continue on our crypto
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency]discussion, what is crypto in
2021? It has been compared to tulip mania
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania] so many times now, we can safely
say, it is not tulip mania. Faucets
[https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-a-crypto-faucet], Forks
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_(blockchain)], Airdrops
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airdrop_(cryptocurrency)], DeFi
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_finance], NFTs
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fungible_token], DAOs
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_DAO_(organization)]all the buzzwords!
Dave and Jonathan have been charting the crypto seas now for over 10 years, what
have they seen and what can they unsee.
