<p>Published 21 April 2025</p>
<p>e510 with Andy, Michael and Michael &#8211; AI stories ranging from privacy, dolphin communication, open source models for robots, Game Transfer Phenomenon and much more.</p>
<p>Andy, Michael and Michael get things off to a fast start with all things AI with a Bloomberg article reporting on Apple “analyzing data on customer’s devices in a bid to improve its artificial intelligence platform”.&nbsp; Apple shares a deeper take on the differential privacy and how it is employed to improve on the synthetic data used to train Apple Intelligence.&nbsp; Then, the team turns to a different way of training LLMs without forcing human language, which they found to be much more efficient, and potentially may unlock new chain of reasoning operations.&nbsp; Andy’s “autocomplete for stuff” description of AI is amazing.&nbsp; Next, is an intriguing AI model being developed to better understand dolphin communications.&nbsp; The chain of thought from this article leads to the camera only recently recovered from Loch Ness, Star Trek, Star Wars and of course, Douglas Adam’s fictional treatment of dolphins.&nbsp; After discussing open source AI robots and the challenges / benefits posed by AI geolocation sophistication, the team turns to OpenAI’s work on a social media platform. &nbsp;</p>
<p>After an article on Game Transfer Phenomenon, which describes how games and gameplay leak into the real world, the co-hosts wrap up with a PICO-8 demake of Warcraft III and a hearty endorsement of the Mythic Quest tv show.&nbsp; Both Michael R and Andy have watched the entirety of Mythic Quest, and Michael M has put it on the list to watch.</p>
<p>What do you expect the dolphins have to say to each other, and to humankind?&nbsp; Have your bots 🤖 drop our bots 🤖 a line at @gamesatwork_biz@mastodon.social (our home for now) and let us know!&nbsp;</p>
<p>These show notes were lovingly hand crafted by a real human, and not by a bot.&nbsp; All rights reserved.&nbsp; That’s our story and we’re sticking to it.</p>
