Lots happening in the AI universe this week, including Sun’s quite humorous report with examples of Google’s faux paus in the name of woke culture.  EMO by AliBaba is scary-good at taking any source image plus audio and making the image look like they are saying/singing the audio. This can bring to life any decent picture of a person, ressurecting dead friends and relatives, putting words in anyone’s mouth. EMO is not released yet, but should be out in time for fun shenanigans with the upcoming presidential election..We also discuss the law suit between Elon Musk and OpenAI, a big issue when it comes to the public being aware of what’s actually going on with the rise of AGI, Artifician General Intelligence.  Could that holy grail alread exist in the form of Q*, or perhaps even Sora, OpenAI’s formidable entery in the text to video arena? We discuss.  

Some great space news this week, including sonification of several interesting areas of interest in space, and a very cool interactive 3D map of the solar system, including the planets, moons, asteroids, space probes, and many earth satellites, all in real time! In the medical world we are excited to report of a blood test that works for some forms of dementia, such as Altzheimers.  Bobby shares a use of biographical video recording that helped his mother, when she was suffering from dementia, and discusses Methylene Blue, a long time compound that seems to stimulate the brain’s neurons by increasing mitochondrial function.  Enjoy!

36 Future Now Show - Galactic Sonification, Coffee, Adaptogenic Fungi, and the Big U, with Guests Gabriel Cianfrani and Paul Gotel

Listen Now to #36 Future Now Show

Listening to the cosmos has never been so much fun or interesting!  With advancements in sensor technology and computing power, we can now use our ears to tune into the universe like never before! In our explorations of the sonic universe, you’ll hear a black hole, a stellar nursery, and the planets in motion of the Trappist-1 solar system, 40 light years away..

Jersey Grrrl Gabrielle makes a brief appearance in the studio today, mostly chatting about boutique coffee in combination with adaptogenic mushrooms..She’s formulated a new product along these lines via her company, Boardwalk Beans.

Our main studio guest, author Paul Gotel, brings some engaging concepts and practical suggestions towards creating a better reality for ourselves, in his interview about his book, “The Big U,” a guide to living large. Paul also shares details of his NEO (Near Death Experience) and what it means to him, and a recent electrifying lesson he learned with his teenage son.  Not afraid to go deep, Paul gets into all kinds of fun stuff, like loss as an act of purification, fluidity as identity, authenticity in a fully unencumbered Now, and suffering as the retention of identity.  Not for everyone, but for those who grok this kind of thing, it’s great, enjoy!
