Join the Hyperthesis team (including Patrick this time) as we welcome our guest David Eliot, a PhD student at the University of Ottawa. David researches the social impact of artificial intelligence along with the idea of a data economy. We discuss the intricacies of what is needed to train popular AI models while also touching on the social aspects of using AI programs and how our data is used. Before then, we discuss the use of machine learning in spectral imaging and end with a story about the history of research in AI.

In this episode of the Hyperthesis Podcast we have a more relaxed conversation in store for our listeners! We are missing 1/3 of our brainpower because Patrick is away at a conference in Spain. Lucky man! Without our favourite experimentalist to keep everything on track, Liam and Pheely decide to take a random walk through various topics ranging from logic to relativistic quantum mechanics.

Join the Hyperthesis team in our discussion of the 2024 solar eclipse event that we experienced. We start with a topic of the early universe bubbling event which can create a phase transition that can be detected the upcoming space gravitational wave interferometer. Then we talk about our viewing of the eclipse, what it was really like, and how we feel about this monumental lifetime event. We ended the episode with a story of the life of Peter Higgs, the one that laid foundation for the so-called god’s particle Higgs boson. Peter Higgs recently passed away on the day of the eclipse, nevertheless, his works will be eternally remembered.
