So the story goes that Sentient chatbots 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 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!

Welcome back to… the end? We had a lovely epsiode lined up and then the whole crypto 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, algorithmic stablecoins, Terra, Tether 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 at the same time! Were the HSE ransomware attacks in early 2021 actually some early moves on bringing about the world Sneakers predicted?

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! was posted on YouTube 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 the very next day, so we are hoping that our coverage here will lead to a similar decline in Slaughterbots, because correlation is causation right?

WHOOSH, that is the sound of the future! Dave and Johnathan bring to you the very first podcast from the 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. 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 is the one of new buzzword floating around, but what is it? Morketing 101 or the beginning for something new? With a new Matrix 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, DAO, fungible, what does it all mean and do I need a cream for that? Everything you wanted to know about decentralized autonomous organization and decentralized prediction markets, 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 discussion, what is crypto in 2021? It has been compared to tulip mania so many times now, we can safely say, it is not tulip mania. Faucets, Forks, Airdrops, DeFi, NFTs, DAOs 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.

Anyone buying or selling shovels!

This is it! The Crypto episode! It is the one topic that has been asked for again and again, so you get it! We cover how it all began and the two nerds that Dave and Jonathan are early forays into crypto before it was cool! How did we all get from spending 20 BTC on a cup a coffee to the total market cap exceeding $2.5 Trillion (That is Trillion with a T). This podcast seeks to unwrap some of the babbozzling parts of crypto and explain what it is all about. Well we give it a red hot go at least!

This topic turned out to be too huge, so join us next episode when the crypto experience really takes off!
