• Protoclone's Robot Muscles, EA buyout and Tilly Norwood: AI Actress

  The Protoclone is an android based on human muscles. DJ thinks this thing might be too lifelike, and it's time to call Rick Deckard.EA are being bought by a consortium of investment firms. Do they still have a future, or will they be killed off?Tilly Norwood is an AI actress created for the sole purpose of starring in real movies. As any first gen tech, it'll be rubbish, but if you combined Tilly and a Protoclone body, DJ would probably be very scared. ***We enjoyed a nice drink of Rez which you can get a 10% discount when you type NERDS at the checkout from the Rez website at www.drinkrez.com ***Resources MentionedIntroducing the Protoclone (Humanoid 'Protoclone' robot twitches into action while hanging from ceiling in viral video | Live Science, I Met ProtoClone — The World’s First Human Clone 🤯 )The explosive EA buyout (Who bought EA? | GamesIndustry.biz )Introducing the world’s first AI actress : Tilly Norwood (AI Actress Tilly Norwood Debuts at Zurich Summit as Industry Grapples With Emerging Tech: We Want Her ‘to Be the Next Scarlett Johansson’, AI Actress Tilly Norwood Draws Backlash From Melissa Barrera, Lukas Gage and More Hollywood Names as Creator Defends Her as a ‘New Tool’ and ‘Not a Replacement for a Human Being’, Gersh Will Not Sign AI Actress Tilly Norwood: 'We're Not That Agency', AI-Directed Movie ‘The Sweet Idleness’ Releases Trailer Amid AI Actor Tilly Norwood Controversy: ‘The First Movie’ Made by an ‘AI Agent’, SAG-AFTRA President Sean Astin Says Union Will Address AI Actress Tilly Norwood With Agents and Continue Fight for AI Compensation)Full Show Notes : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zaAnpSqI_Ak6vgZsP5BBeSeJFHTqsaPwpzqCTYQBhYI/edit?usp=sharing*If you'd like to be featured on the show, send us an email: [email protected] us on: Facebook || Twitter || TwitchJoin the Community on Discord:

We have some theories why.Dance Dance Revolution can be adapted into a memory trainer for people with dementia, and it actually works to reduce the rate of decline.A fully AI movie will be presented at Cannes soon, and we expect it to be bad. ***We enjoyed a nice drink of Rez which you can get a 10% discount when you type NERDS at the checkout from the Rez website at www.drinkrez.com ***Resources MentionedThere is something about Australian Gamers (82% of Australia engages with video games | GamesIndustry.biz)Dance Dance Elderly (Training to improve memory | ETH Zurich)A Full Hollywood A.I.

• Age Gating Games, Warner Bros Vs Midjourney and Doing Objective Science

  Things get wild when Professor and DJ talk about stopping children from accessing in appropriate games.Warner Bros are suing Midjourney for ripping off their art. With the recent case against OpenAI for pirating books, the precedent might not be on their side. Science is hard to do objectively. There's always a bias, and good scientists find ways to minimise that. The Nerds talk through creating science to push a narrative, and why that's a bad thing. ***We enjoyed a nice drink of Rez which you can get a 10% discount when you type NERDS at the checkout from the Rez website at www.drinkrez.com ***Resources MentionedResources: Age verification crackdown (Valve introduces age verification for UK Steam users | GamesIndustry.biz, Roblox partners with International Age Rating Coalition to replace current maturity labels | GamesIndustry.biz, Steam games with adult content banned from early access, after payment processors force restrictions - NotebookCheck.net News Warner bros vs Midjourney (Warner Bros.

• Minecraft Getting Sued, Android Blocking Indie Devs and Social Media Child Stars

  Mojang are being sued for breaking the laws of the European Union by changing their terms of service to ban gun mods. Spearheaded by a mod developer, this lawsuit is adjacent to Stop Killing Games but not quite part of it.Google has announced a plan to block indie developers from publishing apps for Android without giving away their personal details. Professor is mad as hell and he's not going to take it anymore, and is seriously considering switching to a Linux phone.Child stars and social media sounds like a bad time. Stars with experience have suggested that the child stars on the new Harry Potter series need to be trained to deal with it, which sounds like a good idea when you realise how much hate is going to get flung around just because the series isn't exactly the same as the originals.***We enjoyed a nice drink of Rez which you can get a 10% discount when you type NERDS at the checkout from the Rez website at www.drinkrez.com.***Resources:Minecraft Lawsuit (We’re Suing Minecraft in a Class Action Lawsuit)Android killing emulation (Google wants to make sideloading Android apps safer by verifying developers’ identities, This small change might kill emulation on Android phones next year )Social media training should be madatory – Sophie Turner (New Harry Potter Child Actors Can't Use Social Media, Says Sophie Turner)Full Show notes : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1c_n-oPJNa-zO9omtWGZ48CESafgHINqL0dprnaYRibk/edit?usp=sharing *If you'd like to be featured on the show, send us an email: [email protected] us on: Facebook || Twitter || TwitchJoin the Community on Discord: https://discord.gg/VqdBVH5aAnd watch us on YouTube: Nerds Amalgamated - YouTube
