In this episode, I had an enlightening conversation with Ben from Inevitable, where we discussed the advancements in AI over the past five to ten years, particularly focusing on large language models like GPT. We explored the ethical approach to AI development by not buying or selling data and the importance of understanding the implications of AI in our daily lives. We dove into the classification of AI, examining strong AI and its ability to match or surpass human abilities in various areas. We also discussed AI's ability to cooperate and collaborate in adversarial environments, such as the hide and seek game created by OpenAI. We touched on the potential origins of strong general artificial intelligence and its possible creation by a small, unknown team rather than a large enterprise. Additionally, we explored the differences between synthetic data and generated data, shedding light on the safety concerns around synthetic data and its potential misuse. Finally, we delved into the concept of creating a perfect model of data through understanding every aspect of correlations, discussing the implications of running such a model in reverse to obtain the same input data.

The Halo Series on Paramount+ Review
On today's episode of Grief Burrito Hazz is joined by Ryan from Kidnapped by Wizards to discuss their thoughts on the entire first season of Halo; the new original series on Paramount+ (using Amazon Prime for us UK viewers).
The Halo Series story takes place in what’s called the Silver Timeline, it stands in its own canon from the games and is an alternative telling. Following Master Chief (played by Pablo Schreiber), Kwan Ha (Yerin Ha), Miranda Keyes (Olive Gray), Danny Sapani as Captain Keyes, fan favourites Kate Kennedy as Kai -125 and the voice of Jen Taylor back as Cortana. The man in the big green Mjolnir Armor must do all he can to protect one and seek out another Forerunner Artifact before The Covenant led by brainwashed human Makee (played by Charlie Murphy) can find it.
Not before Dr. Catherine Halsey, played incredibly by Natasha McElhone and Margaret Parangosky will do all they can to twist John-117 to their will.
In Part One we discuss our overall thoughts on the introduction to the series universe and the characters that live in it, in Part Two we discuss out series highlights and finally in Part Three we discuss what we see coming next and how we felt about the finale!
It's time for Grief Burrito.

Dead Space 2 diverts from Dead Space 1 and how it scares the player.
Dead Space 1, The Xbox 360 game felt more like a ghost train, more quiet areas, focusing more on creeping round corners to suddenly be pounced on by Necromorphs. The first game felt like it had shooting and dismemberment as a survival tool as well as a storytelling mechanic.
Dead Space 2 in comparison though, is more interested in panic. It’s more full on and it drives the player to panic through areas of combat and fear by throwing waves of Necromorphs in their path.
Returning to The Ishimura... must be one of the most horrific experiences we've had in games...
Isaac Clarke awakens aboard The Sprawl; A floating space colony built into the remains of the moon of Titan circling Saturn only to find himself in the midst of a second Necromorph rampage. The entirety of Titan Station is a blood soaked massacre of limbs!
