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.

Slaughterbots!

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?
