Codex

And I'm calling this episode...

Rebirth of a NasTech Codex.

There are some stories from Mesoamerican history that, when you first hear them, sound almost too good to be true.

Take, for example, the Tonalamat album.

Carbon-14 analysis conducted through a collaboration between Mexico's Biblioteca Nacional de Antropología y Historia and the University of Colorado Boulder places its manufacture around the end of the 15th century, with 1494 proposed as a likely date.

Scholars have wondered whether the manuscript might actually be a colonial era copy.

Some considered it a relatively crude imitation of the Codex Bourbonicus.

Certain details in the painting, including the representation of a flower glyph and the layering of colors, had raised questions about when it was actually produced.

And if you're watching this live, by the way, feel free to ask any questions as you go along.

But yeah, I think honestly inside the Codex app is much better.

So we've covered how to get access.

Let's talk about some example automations I've built recently and what we can do with this.

So you can click on don't work in projects if you want to.

And it's a new chat to use this.

By the way as well, you might say, okay, do you use ChatGPT or do you use Codex? Because there's two different versions of this inside the app.

And if you're wondering how to get access to the app, you can just go into Google here and you just get this one.

This is why film is having a resurgence.

I've been seeing the kids with the Codex cameras.

I've been seeing them out there in the wild with Polaroids.

Yeah.

Such knowledge is not profitable, yet it claims our attention as a fascinating kind of folly.

I will even pardon those who want to know who first persuaded the Romans to go on board a ship it was Claudius, who for this reason was surnamed Caudax, because any piece of carpentry formed of many planks was called Caudax by the ancient Romans, for which reason public records are called Codices, and by old custom, the ships which ply on the Tiber with provisions are called Caudicariae.

let us also allow that it is to the point to tell how valerius corvinus was the first to conquer messana and first of the family of the valeri transferred the name of the captured city to his own and was called messana and how the people gradually corrupted the pronunciation and called him masala or would you let anyone find interest and lucius sulla having been the first to let lions loose in the circus they having been previously exhibited in chains and hurlers of darts having been sent by king bacchus to kill them This may be permitted to their curiosity, but can it serve any useful purpose to know that Pompeius was the first to exhibit eighteen elephants in the circus who were matched in a mimic battle with some convicts? The leading man in the state, and one who, according to tradition, was noted among the ancient leaders of the state for his transcendent goodness of heart.

thought it a notable kind of show to kill men in a manner hitherto unheard of.

Doctor and Mel arrive in London on the eve of the Millennium, where they become involved with software genius Ashley Chappell and the Doctor's old friend Anne Travers.

Chappell is developing the Millennium Codex, a device intended to manipulate reality, while Anne fears the return of the Great Intelligence.

When the Codex is activated at midnight, London becomes a strange fusion of three different realities, combining technology, magic and supernatural forces.

The transformation affects everyone.

Mel becomes the technomancer Mellfire, Anne becomes the hierophant Anastasia and Chappell becomes the arch-image Magnus Ashmail.

Most seriously, the Doctor is transformed into the Valiard, the dark future version of himself he has long feared becoming.

Chappell intends to exploit the situation and use the Doctor slash Valliard to gain immense power.

Melfire and Anastasia eventually use information the Doctor had previously provided to reverse the effects of the Codex.
