Booksplode #81 – Concrete, Vol. 1: Depths (2005)
J
10:04Jeff ReidGUEST
... listened to the Pick of the Weeks that you and Ryan and, and Josh have talked about, so I was aware of the, of the bit about, you know, aliens or something.
J
10:14Jeff ReidGUEST
It wouldn't be told in such a way that it would be leaving me adrift completely, that it was gonna give me something to hold onto, and it totally did.
J
10:22Jeff ReidGUEST
Um, they gave little hints about things for a while, which I really enjoyed, and they really got into the commercialization of Concrete as an idea, which, uh, I mentioned Booster Gold did that too.
J
10:31Jeff ReidGUEST
But when I was reading it, I was getting a lot of X-Force, uh, Peter Mulligan and Mike Allred's X-Force.
J
13:48Jeff ReidGUEST
... and then having the, the problems that would go along with, you know, having that solution, and things change as he does it, and, uh, he has to try to work within the new changes that, uh, could come up.
Booksplode #78 – Zero Hour: Crisis in Time (2004)
C
5:53Conor KilpatrickHOST
Why, why did this happen? Why did this happen? What was DC trying to solve? What problems do they think they have that they're trying to solve?
J
6:02Jeff ReidGUEST
Nothing, uh, I mean, nothing we look back on as huge, huge issues, but I think that even after Crisis, they still had a apocalyptic event happening sometime on Earth in the late 20th, early 21st centuries.
J
6:17Jeff ReidGUEST
There was that Hex series that came out, like, during and little post-Crisis that was a post-apocalyptic Jonah Hex story.
J
6:28Jeff ReidGUEST
I believe the Legion has some sort of reference to some sort of cataclysmic event happening in the near future of the timeline that DC was currently publishing in.

Manoush ZomorodiHOST
So taking this example of the chorus howl, like, break it down for me how AI helps you understand what the wolves are doing and saying to each other.
J
40:10Jeff ReidGUEST
So there are two things the researchers are really looking at with chorus howls.
J
40:14Jeff ReidGUEST
The first is a chorus howl will start where one wolf is howling, and then the rest of them will join in.
J
40:26Jeff ReidGUEST
So the question is, who's deciding, like, we all need to chorus howl together? And we've got a little bit of evidence that suggests it's the dominant wolves.
J
40:42Jeff ReidGUEST
So we're very interested in who decides that this whole territorial chorus howl is going to start.
