VYS0049 | Machines of Loving Vayse - Vayse to Face with Sequoyah Kennedy v2.0
March 19th, 2025 | Season 3 | 2 hrs 2 mins
ai, artificial intelligence, empyrean dream machines, large language model, large language models, nonsense bazaar, sequoyah kennedy, vayse
Imagine, if you will, a world burning as society crumbles (is this stretching you?), in the perpetual, scorched twighlight of a dying planet, the determined foot of a tall figure crushes a skull on a landscape forged of human bones - that foot belongs to Sequoyah Kennedy and the human bones are the vestiges of the common myths and misunderstandings about artificial intelligence... apparently AI's are better than humans at devising effective metaphors in order to convey useful information - and we'll have to hope for their sake that's true.
In this episode Hine and Buckley invite back to Vayse one of the most intelligent and articulate humans in the material world, Sequoyah Kennedy. Since the Nonsense Bazaar ended SK has gone deep down the rabbit hole of large language models and has returned to help Hine and Buckley get their heads round what artificial intelligence actually means in 2025 and dismisses some of the ubiquitous confusion which surrounds the topic: is the best use of AI as personal assistant and unpaid artists? Are there demons haunting cyberspace? Do androids dream of electric sheep? and he touches on one of the big questions of our time - are we all in very real danger from this soulless, characterless mockery of human ingenuity with no empathy, no conscience and no soul... or will Elon Musk just finally piss off so that we can live in glorious harmony with our wonderful, wise robot buddies?

Since October 2023, Vayse HQ has been regularly receiving mysterious, confusing and unsettling emails, seemingly from all over the world, all hinting towards the same impossible conclusion.
In this episode the Vayse boys launch an investigation into where these weird communications might be coming from and who might be behind them with a little help and a lot of expertise from some familiar and very welcome faces: Douglas Batchelor, Darragh Mason, Sequoyah Kennedy, Joseph Matheny, Stephanie Quick and AP Strange. The deeper they dig, the more they find themselves falling down rabbit holes within rabbit holes within rabbit holes... (Recorded October 2024)

July 26th, 2023 | Season 1 | 2 hrs 39 secs
nonsense bazaar, sequoyah kennedy, truth, vayse, weird stuff
In a triumphant finale to season 1 of Vayse, Hine and Buckley talk to one of their favourite mega-brains of the paraweirdpodosphere, Sequoyah Kennedy of the Nonsense Bazaar podcast. The conversation wanders into some favourite topics of the Nonsense Bazaar including Saint Germaine, To the Stars and the Lavenda agenda and then deep into more personal matters such as Sequoyah's self-guided magical practice, his encounters with supernatural beings and his love of freaky modular synths...
