Show Transcript

When AI starts to mimic what we do as podcast hosts, we listen…and have some fun with it.  In this episode, meet “Larry and Mary,” virtual talk show hosts who offer you information in a dynamic 2 person, male/femaile show host format,  based on documents we feed them, in this case, our last week’s podcast, and articles from this week’s show.  What they do is nothing short of amazing, making great virtual guests!

We take a deep dive into a new AI tool called NotebookLM, developed by Google. NotebookLM is a tool that takes information from various sources, like articles, emails, or PDFs, and generates different kinds of content, including summaries and a simulated talk show dialogue. We also use NotebookLM to analyze an article about negative time in quantum physics, finding that the AI did provide some  insight into this complex topic. The show also delves into the debate around the impact of AI on human jobs and consciousness, with Al  as an agent to enhance human capabilities, while we express concerns about AI’s potential to mimic human creativity and personality. Later in the conversation, we explore the brain-gut connection and the potential of RNA editing and psychedelics as a new treatment for anxiety and cognitive decline. We end with Bobby’s insights into the use of Xylotol as a substitute for refined sugar. Enjoy!

Happy Autumn everyone, my favorite time of year!  I may be a little biased, as my birthday is coming up, but hey, the cooler weather sparks me, what can I say?  My wifey poo, Sun, aka Mrs. Future reports in from Ireland and the Equinox she celebrated there at an ancient megalithic site, Bobby Wilder has exciting news about the therapeutic powers of laser light, space news this week suggests x-ray blasts for moving asteroids away from Earth impacts, and solar power from space via large low earth orbit mirrors focused on earth-based solar farms on Earth. 

And this week also features our takeaways, including audio clips, from Danny Sheehan and the New Paradigm Institute on their work in bringing to light secret government info on alien presences on Earth and a pragmatic path forward in providing full disclosure to the public at large.  Plus, the Paradigmn Institute featured a great schmooze and dance party afterwards.  Enjoy!

Listen Now to 78 Future Now

This week we hear from my dear wife and co-partner of this podcast, Sun (aka Mrs. Future) from Portugal, where she is traveling with her sister on a family adventure.  Taylor Barcroft then brings us up-to-date on all the latest and greatest offerings from Apple Computer, particularly the iPhone 16 models and the Series 10 Watch. (hint - if you are into photography, the Pro and Pro Max are your best options).  

If you are curious about the feeding frenzy in the Montery Bay lately, it’s the large anchovy schools of fish feeding the other critters, from dolphins and whales to birds, otters, and sea lions. Sounds good for the creatures, but there is this little thing (that has happened before) called an anchovy die-off that has ecological consequences..

MIT educated Bruce McHenry checks in, not so much for discussing his speciality, transportation, but to inform us of the Fediverse and their latest forum on breaking walled gardens open and connecting them into a free, open and decentralized social network. This could change the way you relate (or likely not relate) to social media. Meet the people that want to do this..Enjoy!

77 Future Now podcast - Live from Maui with Richard Cray, Man of la Mancha, Greg Panos with the latest in AI music and Avatars, Ed Ellsworth and the Maui Fires, Jerry Isdale on Island tech and the arts

Listen Now to 77 Live from Maui

This week we broadcast from Maui with a wonderful selection of friends who clue us in to what’s happening in this Hawaiian paradise.  It’s been a year since the horrible Lahaina fires and recovery has been slow and agonizing to many.  Ed Ellsworth gives us an update on that situation.  To help recover the Aloha spirit of the island, the Maui Arts and Cultural Center in partnership with The Makana Aloha Foundation and County of Maui Office of Economic Development, sponsored a professional production of the famous Broadway play, Man of la Mancha, starring former Broadway actor/singer Richard Cray, and  Hawaii music legend,  Amy Hānaialiʻi Gilliom.  Richard is a big fan of our podcast and we interview him about his epic role of Don Quixote, and the play’s ability to lift the spirits of all who see it.  His partner, Greg Panos, shares with us some of the innovations he sees in the use of virtual and augmented reality and AI music and visuals in enhancing a production’s impact.
