  • The Rise of Chat GPT (Part 2)

    ChatGPT is a large language model developed by OpenAI. It is based on the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) architecture, which uses unsupervised learning to pre-train a deep neural network on a large corpus of text data before fine-tuning it for specific tasks.

    GPT is basically a computer program that can understand and talk like a human and speaks every language, including programming and coding languages. Trained on massive sets of data, GPT can have much more in-depth conversations and interactions with you than Siri or Alexa.

    The development of GPT began in 2018, with the release of the original GPT model in June of that year. Since then, several versions of the model have been released, with increasing amounts of training data and improved performance.

    The system quickly took the world by storm, crossing the one million user mark in just five days. To put that into perspective, while ChatGPT hit a million users in less than a week, it took Netflix 3.5 years to hit a million users, while it took Spotify five months, and Instagram two months.

    In this episode, the boys discuss the potential for AI-enhanced classic movies, AI girlfriends, and dead internet theory.

  • The Mandela Effect (Part 2)
    PART 2 of 2:
    The "Mandela Effect" refers to false memories that are shared by multiple people or large groups. This phenomenon was given it’s name by paranormal researcher Fiona Broome, who reported having vivid and detailed memories of news coverage of South African anti-Apartheid leader Nelson Mandela dying in prison in the 1980s. (Mandela actually served as President of South Africa in the late nineties and died in 2013).

    Broome reported that since 2010 "perhaps thousands" of other people had written online about having the same memory of Mandela's death in the 80s, and she speculated that the phenomenon could be evidence of parallel realities.

    There are tons of examples of the Mandela Effect often referenced in Internet culture, and scientists and skeptics suggest that these are examples of false memories shaped by similar cognitive factors affecting multiple people and families.

    Many believers of the Mandela Effect as evidence of alternate timelines or dimensions, the multiverse, ripping of spacetime, or another physics phenomenons.

    Listen in as the experts dig in to some examples of the Mandela Effect, explore possible CERN/parallel universe connections, and get to the bottom of what’s REALLY behind the phenomenon.

  • Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

    On March 8, 2014, during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, Malaysia Flight 370, a Boeing 777 completely disappeared. 

    There were 227 passengers and 12 crew members.

    The crew last communicated with air traffic control around 38 minutes after takeoff when the flight was over the South China Sea. The aircraft was lost from air traffic control radar shortly after, but was tracked by military radar for another hour. They watched it deviate from it’s flight path with a sharp turn left turn before ultimately losing radar.

    Despite the largest and most expensive search in aviation history, the flight has never been found and all aboard are presumed dead.

    There are tons of conspiracy theories on what actually happened, as well as some recent developments.

    Listen in as the experts confuse plane crash tragedies of the 2010s with each other, speculate on the fate of the poor passengers and crew, and figure out what ... REALLY may have happened here.
