Geeks in Space

RobChrisRob got together to talk about the Dune 2 trailer, the Jury finding Ed Sheeran did not infringe on Marvin Gay, which led to a lengthy discussion about AI scriptwriting, the trailer for Silo, Smart toilet seats, a new Spider Verse trailer, and Babylon 5 coming back as an animated film... we also spent a lot of time using ChatGPT to write our own TV Pilot...

RobChrisRob returned from elsewhere to talk about WotC using the pinkertons to hunt down a youtuber who unboxed stolen Magic cards, a Pizza Chain commercial generated by AI that boggles the mind, Netflix's password Policies in Spain and what it means for the future, a plugin to remove verified tweets from twitter, a huge plot of land in sydney, eating a banana as art, the new transformers Beast Wars trailer, Parrots socializing over zoom, Picard, and then Chris went on an unstoppable rampage over The Ark.

RobChrisRob gathered together from their pretend orbiting platforms to talk about SpaceX crowding in on their turf, Curiosity getting a software update, lasercutting Doom WADs, the uninvolved guy who's face ended up in a documentary about a hatchet wielding hitchiker, writing book reviews to reduce prison time, John Deere kill switching stolen tractors, grounding B-17s, the astounding graphics of Unrecord, killing cats in new zealand, fake trash pickup for Mayor PR, the next Godzilla movie, and a discussion of the finales of Mando & Picard.

RobChrisRob got distracted for a bit talking about their childhood jobs until we looped back to talk about the Seattle Airport construction Woes, the trailer for The Marvels looking pretty solid, the new NASA director swearing in on a copy of Sagan's Pale Blue Dot and what books WE would swear oaths on, the Chinese moon mission has discovered a new source of water on the moon- inside glass beads, 3D Printing a selectric printer ball for comic sans, an automated swatting system causing problems, a GPT4 model running on a TI84, and Chris told us about his ridiculous new laptop

RobChrisRob gathered together to discuss a plethora of film trailers (Barbie, Ghosted, Extraction 2), to tease Chris for a bug that put his face all over the place in Fractured Veil, Elon screwing around with twitter's signage and brandage, criminals who cut through a bathroom wall to steal iPhones which are totally untracable, an actual oled keyed keyboard, film reviews of 65, Quantumania, Shazam 2, and the news from Star Wars Celebration.

RobChrisRob linked up their communications array to talk about Chris's BFF Carol Baskin moving her cats out of Florida, Futurama chars visualized as 80s fantasy film chars, a 'Coherent' radio signal detected coming from a planet 12 light years from earth which somehow devolved into a conversation about using target gift cards as a form of interstellar currency, ChatGPT tricked into generating Win95 Keys, how effective the AI Pause is gonna be, and the most ridiculous laptop we've seen in awhile

RobChrisRob gathered together in pretend low earth orbit for another broadcast of the oldest podcast on the internet... we talked about the trailer for the upcoming Wes Anderson film Asteroid City, the discovery of a new giant black hole, the cancellation of E3, Meth Pigeons making deliveries into a canadian prison, Samsung AI adding teeth to baby photos, Scott Pilgrim's original cast returning for an Anime series, a Principal in florida fell for an Elon Musk scam, Meatballs made from mammoth DNA, and the inevitable success that will come from tech leaders asking us to all just pause AI for a few months and think about it for a bit.

RobChrisRob talked about the real world situation where farmers are now able to use Farming Simulator to evaluate real world products... this led into a tangent discussion about VR in general and the killer apps that we've yet to see for platforms existing and unannounced. Then we talked about a trailer for another War of the Worlds movie, a man busted for donating sperm so many times that he has fathered 550 children, a religious war in Lebanon over... daylight savings time, the Museum of Failure in Brooklyn which pokes fun of classics like the Hula Chair, the Segway, and Google Glass, and we wrapped up talking about MIT testing Oreos for science reasons.

RobChrisRob started off hot talking about the mad respect for the fashion and innovation obviously present in a group photo of the mid 90s MIT Wearable Computing Project... then we talked about a D&D Monster Manual with a goal of raising awareness for endangered creatures... I talked a little about the monsters of Shazam 2, then we talked about Unreal's facial animation capture system, a dating sim that really does file your taxes, Utah declaring Brine Shrimp their official state crustacean, the 3D Printed Rocket that almost but didn't quite make it to orbit, and finally a bit of Mando and a bit of Picard.

RobChrisRob kicked things off by remarking that the spam problem has been solved by the FCC and we don't have to worry about SMS spam any more. Cough... GPT-4 tricked a human into solving CAPTCHAs for it, Rolls Royce got cash to develop generators for the moon, but so far basically just created a really dumb render that looks like it was made by AI, we talked about the Open Sauce convention and the terrifying works of the I did a thing youtube channel, a paper about goblin sharks debunked as the evidence was a kids toy shark, people injecting botulism in their guts to lose weight had bad results, weird walking robots, ocean algae plums set to overwhelm beaches, and Glen Howerton starring in a movie based on Blackberry that doens't look awful...
