Dr. Ben Alderson-Day, a psychologist at Durham University who studies inner speech, hallucinations, and felt presences, discusses the remarkable diversity in how people experience their inner mental lives. The episode explores anendophasia (absence of inner speech affecting an estimated 10-20% of people), tulpa and topmancy practices where practitioners create conscious entities through meditation, and the connection between fiction reading, character modeling, and consciousness research.

@BennJordan - "Robot Dogs Are A Security Nightmare"

Link: https://youtu.be/lA8WuXDXfcI

Duration: 23 min

Transcript: Download plain text

Short Summary​

A security researcher demonstrates critical vulnerabilities in Unitree robot dogs deployed by police departments across the US, showing how attackers can hijack the robots via Bluetooth, disable them remotely, and access their cameras and microphones without authentication. The robots contain a sophisticated hidden backdoor sending encrypted data to Chinese servers, which the researcher believes represents intentional design rather than accidental security flaw, leading to a US military warning while police and third-party vendors like Atlanta's Undaunted must choose between patching security holes or risking foreign remote access. The researcher recommends never updating firmware and developed workarounds for affected customers, while raising concerns about how robot dogs may displace crime rather than reduce it.
