012 WTFuture -- The Intelligence Age: From Hyper Local Agents to Long Distance Relationships

Listen Now to 012 WTFuture

Crazy enough to 

Actually Watch this ‘AI Slop’ 012 WTFuture — The Intelligence Age: From Hyper Local Agents to Long Distance Relationships

 It appears we are now leaving the information age and diving headfirst into an “intelligence age” . But what powers this transition? Chips? Beliefs? Noble Gas?  And hyperlocal? WTF AL!”  In this jam-packed podcast episode, the hosts geek out over Nvidia’s massive announcements at Computex, highlighting how new hardware like the Vera Rubin data centers and Jetson Thor chips are bringing agentic AI and supercomputing power right to our laptops and home robots. Soon you too will likely have loads of intelligence agents doing your bidding, should you want such powers. 

Having these personal AI buddies run locally instead of in the cloud not only keeps your private secrets safe from getting sold or hacked on the dark web, but it also stops the our species from burning up gigawatts of electricity just to answer our nick nack reality questions or generate click bait. The answer?  Check out what Bobby has to say about new local AI buddies!

Thanks to a video submission by Dr. Jabir, our crew marveled at a mysterious giant potato-shaped heavenly body eclipsing the sun, as captured by NASA’s Perseverance rover.. “What body is it,?” you might ask. Think about it for a second and you’ll likely get this one right..still, it’s amazing to see!

We also debuts a video short, humorously recounting a 59,000-year-old Neanderthal root canal successfully performed with an ancient stone routing tool! Thanks to the powers given to us by our humble AI servants, we have brought this scientific research to life! Some say the ending is  a little kitch, but Al likes it, and thinks you will to. Let us know, one way or the other. And was it fun for you to watch?

The conversation then  blasts off into the quantum realm, debating Mrs. Future’s speculative theory that particles are actually micro black holes—surprisingly an idea even the AI Grok seemingly approved of!  The hosts further bend notions of reality by exploring the idea that human consciousness literally arises from quantum computations happening inside tiny carbon “microtubules” in our brain’s neurons. This quantum connection might even explain wild, Matrix-style phenomena like time dilation during life-or-death car crashes. 

Finally, things get delightfully mythic as the episode wraps up with Sun’s   “Brief HerStory of Time,” exploring how the spring months got their names from powerful mythological figures, such as the starry Pleiades sisters bringing in May, and the fiercely accountable, peacock-wielding Roman goddess Juno reigning over June. btw, Happy June!

Transcript

We are on a roadtrip to Seattle and doing our podcast from AirB&B’s for the next couple of shows. This week is on the road in Ashlandfrom Ashland, a cultural hotspot known for great art galleries, theaters, restaurants, and the home of the world famous Oregon Shakespeare Festival.  We saw the opening production of MacBeth, and Dune, part 2. 

Much to discuss and explore this week, as the future is happening now at an increasingly exponential rate, from space adventures  to musical  AI, and human behavior insights.  Enjoy!

 Dr. Future News 9.25.12

Welcome to the Dr. Future News, where we do our best to keep you abreast of some really interesting stories this week.  It’s pretty cool, for example that the NASA scientists are using consumer 3D glasses from Nvidia to roll around on Mars aboard the Curiousity rover.   It used to be that NASA drove the development of tech, with inventions as lithium batteries, wireless sensors, to panoramic photography. Now, consumer tech is helping to drive the space program, literally!  And in that realm there are rising new inventors, such a 13-year old Aidan Dwyer, who has created a new kind of solar panel, based on his observation of trees.

We also take a look at the world of crowd funding, where more and more people are finding the money for financing their personal projects and dreams.  Just this week, Mrs. Future (Sun Marian) spoke on the topic at a Film School in San Francisco, as a way to finance your media productions. It is an amazing up-and-coming field.

Our reporting on the social nature of bacterial colonies and the significance of brain evolution in understanding our minds were also fun to make and share with you, not to mention the report from an intrepid New Scientist journalist inside an fMRI machine while high on MDMA.  So enjoy, and you’ll hear from us next week in our new home on KOMY in Santa Cruz!
