Been doing these episodes in order, as an ML professional I just wanted to correct 2 things about the comments around the ML research community. 1. Schmidhuber, while his contributions have been significant, has a long history of believing other people's work is a direct derivative or copy of his. He is the source of said "drama", Ian & many others have had to endure his BS. 2. The assertion that the ML community has no ethical/moral code is way off base, GANs may have nefarious use cases but they also have use cases that I think most people would consider to be really important, for example, evading censorship (see "GAN Tunnel: Network Traffic Steganography by Using GANs to Counter Internet Traffic Classifiers"), a huge amount of technological innovations could be weaponized, but the inverse is also true. Would you rather Ian had sat on such innovation and risk that an individual discover the same methodology, and deploy it onto an unsuspecting public?

The JR train announcement bell is so HARD!

Jordan Sather, partially-insane knobhead of the universe. This part was darkly humourous. There are few craptastic conspiracy theories that the guy does not swallow whole. He is a fucking nitwit also on Miracle Mineral whoopee.

Pause for screams of laughter!  Cathy O'Brien is almost, almost as demented as the entity once known as "Lauren Stratford."

"Huma Abedin, the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood."  That's right, the band of brothers is secret headed by a sister.

The hyperbolic time chamber, aka. the room of spirit and time, aka. the hypersonic lion tamer. (That one was on purpose)

Deepfakes are on the docket: videos that seem to feature a specific individual, even though they weren’t in it. First Travis will lead us into the conspiracy theory swamps of QAnon to figure out what Q and his followers think of Deepfakes. Then we’ll jump into Deep Fake flavored thriller led by our head Jack-Reacher-Ologist, Jake. Finally Julian will try his best to explain how Deepfakes came to be, and why they are an alarming new development in our post-truth world.
