The Finisher:

Yesterday, Warner Brothers issued a DCMA takedown of a few videos, including a few clips from the classic artificial intelligence film Blade Runner, from the streaming site Vimeo. The problem is one of the clips that they were asked to take down wasn’t from the movie at all; instead it was from a neural network encoding project that was attempting to reconstruct the movie from disassembled data. So in other words: Warner has just DCMA’d an artificial reconstruction of a film about AI being indistinguishable from humans, because it couldn’t distinguish between AI and humans. We all know the singularity is coming and it’s only a matter of time before RoboRosewater wins its first Pro Tour, so what do you expect to be the next step on the way towards our inevitable robot overlords?

1 Year Anniversary

The Finisher:

Today is the Mark Rosewater’s 49th birthday… but much more importantly, this show marks the the near 1-year anniversary of Magic Mics! That’s right, our premier episode premiered on May 28, 2015, and in it we: discussed spoilers for the next set, the differences between Magic and Hearthstone, an upcoming Masters set release, and Erin’s love of Dredge. So as you can see, we’ve changed a lot in the last 362 days! What do you anticipate the biggest change will be between now and our 2nd anniversary show?
