What's up everybody? My name is John Hammond. We're looking at Pico CTF 2017 and we are on the last challenge in the cryptography category of level one. So this challenge is called compute RSA. It says RSA encryption or decryption is based on a formula that anyone can find and use as long as I know the values to plug in. So given the encrypted number this thing d equals this thing and n equals this thing, what is the decrypted number? And check out the hint here. It says decrypted equals encrypted, raised to the power of d, mod n. So if you've never seen RSA before, that's totally okay. It's super duper common in capture-to-flag competitions in the cybersecurity scene. You'll see it in like computer science stuff, blah, blah, blah. But it is an example of cryptography. It is one of the first public key cryptosystems and like an example or method of cryptography. So it is based on math like pretty much all of cryptography is and it's a really great example of basic like example public key cryptosystems. So I'm not going to get exactly into all of the cool tidbits or even all of the attacks and crazy cool things we can do with RSA, but I do want to showcase how we can solve this challenge and still explain, okay, what is really happening behind the scenes of RSA? They give us all of the actual like information that we need in this prompt right here. So all we have to do is literally do the operation and we could get the flag just like that, but I do want to explain a little bit of RSA before we dive into doing it for more for real in later videos. So I'm in the key generation portion of the Wikipedia page and it says at the basics of this is how RSA really works is that there are two original numbers P and Q and they are chosen and that they are different prime numbers. So prime numbers and that like there isn't a factor in between it other than 1 like 3 and 5 and 7 etc. For security purposes the integers P and Q should be chosen at random and should be similar in magnitude but different in length. You will see a lot of attacks that will get into more in RSA like Wieners little d-attack or using a like I think it's multi-prime or something that or twin-primes etc etc but for now just press the I believe button for P and Q and that you'll see is the modulus and that's the word that you'll hear more often than not and you'll see and in the public key or one half of the RSA algorithm and that is the product of P and Q multiplied together and then we compute this looks like lambda here as the least common multiple of P and Q or least common multiple of P minus 1 and Q minus 1 because lambda here is the Carmichael Totion function which is not the Euler's Totion function apparently. When I first looked at this I was like what I thought it was Euler's Totion and they explained this a little bit down below. Euler's Totion function is Phi and you'll hear me refer to Phi a lot more than usual because it's just for these prime numbers P and Q the Phi will return P or the prime number minus 1 and that Totion is just the count of positive integers up to them number that are relatively prime to that number. Maybe that doesn't make a whole lot of sense when I just say it out loud but for a prime number it will just be that prime number minus 1 so it also has a property in that the product here when we're using prime numbers again the Phi of n will just be the Phi of P multiplied by the Phi of Q because n is P multiplied by Q. So keep that in mind now we choose an integer E which is the exponent that is greater than 1 and less than that Phi or lambda in our case and the greatest common denominator is one of those. So those are co-prime. E you'll typically see as the common exponent of 0x1001 or hex a thousand a thousand ten thousand one what one of those numbers and that's six five five three seven I think in decimal. You'll see that more often but in this case in this problem for bigot CTF they actually don't give us E or the exponent because we don't need it because we're just doing the decryption process with D which is the private key. So D is the exponent modular inverse so raised to the power of negative one all mod lambda n or Phi in whatever we are referring to when we're using when we are using actual Euler's Totion and you'll hear me refer to Phi more often than not so I apologize for that. D is the modular multiplicative inverse of E that is normally mathematically wise hard to compute but we can do it in Python with some cool libraries and modules so we'll keep that in mind again once we later look at RSA. This is a lot of explanation that we don't particularly need to cover for just this task at hand but I want you to know those basics so the public key is N and E the modulus and the exponent the private key is D so that should be kept secret you should not share D but in this case the problem does so all we have to do is do the decryption P Q and Phi or lambda N in Carmichael's Totion function again exception here sorry disclaimer those should be kept secret because they can be used to calculate D obviously if you know P and Q or if you can factor N then you essentially can figure out Phi and you can figure out D because you're normally given E as that is the public key right so P and Q are the gates the the keys the golden gate right if you can figure out P and Q if you can factor N you should be able to solve an RSA problem okay and they give this example of the regular normal E exponent so cool okay now let's jump into this actual problem let's do this in Python here I'm just going to get a terminal open up and I'm going to use Python because that is typically our weapon for solving CTF challenges that is our best sword so we have the encrypted number this thing so that because it's encrypted we know that that is the ciphertext right so that will consider that C for the code the ciphertext D which is our private key we can use to decrypt and N is that modulus right so we'll keep that in mind because we need that now to go through this decryption process if we scroll down a little bit more in the Wikipedia page they give us these equations that are the actual procedure for encrypting or decrypting with RSA and they also give an example choosing a random P and Q finding out lambda or phi whatever you want to consider it as using an E that meets the criteria for this challenge determining D finding the multiplicative inverse and calculating it with encryption and decryption so encryption is taking the original plaintext method M the original plaintext message sorry raising it to E the exponent mod N so modular arithmetic that's the secret of our of our cryptography keeping that secret sauce in and we get C our ciphertext now to decrypt C we have C the ciphertext raised to D the exponent there is the private key and again that is mod N everything in RSA is mod N or modulus and you know the percent sign we've seen before so we saw that in hash 101 right that modular arithmetic is what's keeping the secret sauce of cryptography super cool so we can do that decryption just like that in Python you can do that like actual mathematics here typed out with those symbols so let's say we wanted okay here's our encrypted ciphertext raised to the power of D all mod N if we put that in parentheses just for say keeping you can do it that way but Python's built-in library Lennon and functions and language set is much faster so we could do that written at longhand or you can use the POW function which is built into Python to raise something to the power of something else right so in our case we're taking our ciphertext and the other arguments is the exponent that we want so D in our case but it also can take a third optional argument which is the modulus which is okay this expression mod something else so we can say N here great once I hit enter that is supposedly our flag right and we can assume that that's the right answer because it's it's a lot of leaps we can go ahead and submit that and we win okay we're up 50 points that's that that is the simple decryption process in RSA now if I were to do that how I had done before by hand I wonder if these are small numbers obviously once you get to numbers that like take up more than half the screen it'll take a lot more time so that use that POW function when you're doing this for real let's try that C exponent D all mod N okay it gets it relatively quickly but obviously if we had some much more hardcore RSA problem and data to work with then we would not use that method cool so that's that that is the basics behind RSA probably really hard to understand well I'm just talking about it and I totally get that I totally understand we will be interacting with it in a much more real way once we get to a harder problem to solve or harder catch the flag problem where we're gonna use a real attack against RSA or just solve this challenge to begin with when we're given N and we have to determine PNQ cool so let's move on and we'll do that in the next video but before I get that far I want to give a special shout out to all of my supporters that

Hello everyone, welcome to theCUBE's coverage of High Performance 2023, covering everything HPC, machine learning, AI, high performance analytics and quantum computing. Part of the ISC 2023, CUBE event coverage. The segment today is Quantum Computing, next hardware accelerations right around the corner. It's the next, next gen coming. Got two great guests here on the power panel, Burns Healy, Emerging Technology Researcher with Dell Research Office, and Mike Robolard, Senior Distinguished Engineer with Dell. Gentlemen, thank you for joining me on this quantum computing topic. Yeah, thank you for having us, Tom, we appreciate it. So we love, we love high performance, super computing, super cloud, super apps. The market's totally primed for this big wave coming and quantum's right around the corner. Some of the smartest people or engineers are working on quantum. It's quite the buzz and it's legit. It's a whole other paradigm shift. HPC professionals and customers, they're smart and they're into hardware. They're into all super computing, but they're just now putting their toe in the water with quantum, but they're very aligned with the concept. So let's start with kind of just setting the table. Can you guys describe what quantum computing is in a way that a regular HPC guru or professional can understand and how it's different and what are the advantages are going to be? Yeah, I'd say that the best mental model for quantum as it would serve an HPC expert, HPC customer, somebody interested in HPC, will be to think of it as another kind of hardware accelerator. So if you go back and you think about GPUs, right? Of course, GPUs were originally designed for graphics. Now we're finding applications for them in AIML training, say large language models, other kinds of workloads like that. And there are specific workloads that you see that run better on GPUs and then other workloads for which they don't really provide an advantage. And I would encourage everybody to have that same thought process in terms of quantum. So there are going to be particular classes of workloads that quantum technologies are going to have the capability to accelerate and really improve over our current methods of processing those workloads. And then there are others that they won't. So it'll be just a journey of as the technology matures, identifying those places where we can get an advantage and trying to continually leverage more and better quantum techniques to expand that world. I mean, I like the GPU example because I think people can relate to that. I remember when GPUs came, oh, GPUs, graphics accelerator, it's a bolt-on, it's a hardware assist specific use case, had a beach head, had one use case. Now it's everything, machine learning, similar scope with quantum. It's going to land on some use cases. What are some of those things that you see popping out right out of the gate? Yeah, no. So the big one that of course captures a lot of attention is when people say that quantum computers are going to break encryption and it's going to be fundamentally a lawless world where every possible message is now interceptable and decryptable by any actor with an internet connection. And what is true is that our current encryption standard, which is RSA with a specific length key, is susceptible to a faster brute force attack via a quantum computer. But it's very specific to that particular encryption scheme, to that RSA encryption method. So in that realm, RSA is one particular workload. If you're talking about decryption, that quantum computers could be advantageous at, but other encryption methods are not susceptible to that same kind of attack. So even within domain, I think identifying those particular workloads that quantum is helpful for is a bit of a fine line. So encryption, decryption, as well as things like quantum machine learning are coming online. That's just like all technology evolutions, the previous generation is not as good as the next one. And if you don't move to the next one, I mean, look at the, everyone's doing two-factor authentication, people are like, that's crazy. A decade ago, no one did that, right? I mean, well, some people did, I did, but that's the point. And so I think one of the other things that's pretty universal is this idea of optimization and every company is always trying to optimize their business operations. And quantum computers appear to be very well-suited for optimization types of problems. So there are a lot of applications. It's just a question to go into finding them. Michael, that's a great point. And I like the next question I wanted to ask you guys is so many quantum technologies out there, quantum community technologies. What's the map look like? And what do you look for in a company while working in the area that impresses you? What's some of the map of the landscape look like out there in this market for companies? What's, who's innovating? What does success look like right now? I mean, I'd say everybody's innovating. What's so beautiful about being so early on in the maturation of this technology is we've got a lot of different paths. Every company has their own roadmap for scaling up if they're a hardware company, scaling up to additional qubits, which are the fundamental unit of quantum computing, or if they're an algorithm development company, they've got all of these different areas that they want to try and tackle. And so I see all of these ambitious, really excited technologists going after this. And I think there's a lot up and down the stack, a lot to be excited about. I'd say, yeah. What's the landscape point of view like? Are people sharing? I mean, open source, for example, everyone's sharing content. What is the landscape of the companies look like that impress you? What's the company landscape like? Like what capabilities? And so we're not going to be picking winners at this point, right around this interview. But when you see companies that understand the physics, when you see companies that are able to connect to user needs, to user workloads, when you see companies that are taking and advancing the engineering or building these systems, right? That's a great quantum company. And there are a few examples of that in the space. And you asked a second question around how competitive are these companies? It's an interesting time, right? Because there's cooperation, but there's also competition. And you've got multiple threads of research and development that are relatively independent, all kind of progressing independently. And at this point, it's really too early to call. Yeah, and it reminds me of we're just, we're talking a lot about AI and other segments around ISC and HPC and how AI is just exploded because of the compute and large scale cloud and data models that are out there, which is a current situation. That's what's happening now. That wasn't available years ago. So when things just explode, they just go exponential. What kind of problems does a quantum address in the HPC world, what are we looking for for that pivot point, that kick up? What needs to happen? What do you guys envision the sequence? Because I'm imagining that quantum is just gonna, it's gonna continue to advance. People are gonna collaborate. Co-operations gonna happen. But there's gonna be a couple of bits that have to flip. Yes, yes. Can you share your vision on that? Because I think that's really fascinating. Absolutely. And one thing that I think it is helpful to remember is that when we say quantum technologies, right? It actually encompasses a whole lot of different kinds of architectures. So in our experience right now, there's kind of two main competing standards or not even competing standards, but complimentary standards for what a quantum computer does. So there is a kind of universal gate-based QPU machine. So these are the kinds of machines that you've probably more heard about in terms of what's available in the literature out there. But also in addition to those kind of universal processors, there's a very specialized kind of processor called a quantum annealer. And the quantum annealer uses different parts of quantum mechanics to do computations. And this is what Mike was getting at when he said optimization is a very hot topic and a very, you know, is an area in which we'd expect to see a quantum, at least provide some kind of advantage, hopefully in the near future.  And that's one place I'm excited to see coming online soon because there are quantum annealers that are beginning to scale. And I think as we get the chance to explore our current optimization problems on those technologies, I think we'll see where that fits in. Michael, what's your take? Renaissance and computes here. I mean, it's just more headroom all around. Yeah, and I just want to, you know, focus in a bit on the second part of your question there, the, you know, is it better than classical HPC? What are the differences there? And, you know, I think we're going to see an evolution of, you know, what we think HPC is, much like we saw in evolution, there was a time before HPC had GPUs and that was fine, right? And today it has GPUs and that's even better. And there will be a future where it will be augmented. And I think the only question is how much? And, you know, I think that's the exciting part. So, you know, I'm looking at some of the comments online around orchestration, intelligent orchestration, quantum being another tool in the HPC arsenal. This is a really key point, getting that orchestration of resources is very key. How do you guys react to that? What's that mean? Right, so I want to think of a workflow when you're talking about some large, you know, workload or some large job or some large sequence of jobs. And you imagine now, not only do you have possible accelerators in the form of a GPU, but you also have quantum processing units, QPUs, and you also have quantum annealers and you have other technologies that could provide advantage. And so before that, that decision was an easy one. Do I want to run this on a CPU? Do I want to run it on a GPU, right? And now you have a much tougher question to answer, which is which pieces of these should be, of this workload should be allocated to which resources? And I think that's where the intelligent orchestration comes into place. So it's breaking down those jobs, identifying the different components of them and where they fit best in terms of what's going to advantage them, what kind of hardware architecture is going to match this workload best. And it's not just a matter of enhanced execution time, but you also have questions of accuracy, fidelity. You have availability of hardware, you have price of hardware. So all of these questions get rolled into one kind of final decision. And at the end of the day, that decision is being made in an HPC environment, right? The quantum computer is not doing the orchestration. That is still a classical machine running on hardware that we're all used to that is making those decisions and dispatching those parts of your workload. That's a great point. In fact, my next question was going to be in this event in the industry, the hallway conversations people are saying, HPC and quantum computing are both necessary to use a quantum computer working together. Can you explain what that means? Is it, do you agree with that statement and that's going on in the industry? And what does it mean? Yeah, I would absolutely agree with that. I think that we should see, as you mentioned, a tool in the HPC arsenal, quantum is another accelerator. You can't use a GPU without a CPU, right? Without a traditional computer behind it. It doesn't make sense. And the same thing is going to be true for quantum indefinitely because we're going to need to orchestrate those resources and see what makes sense. But especially in the near term, we're still in what we in the quantum landscape, like to call the noisy intermediate scale quantum or NISC era. And what that means is while these devices are impressive, they still are subject to a lot of stochasticity a lot of noise. You typically run a single workload many, many times in order to try and drown out that noise with the signal and recover some real meaning to your end result. And so as we remain in that NISC era, in addition to the orchestration, you have questions like pre-processing by classical infrastructure, post-processing by classical infrastructure. You might have to take an output and interpret it, using your classical hardware. So it's still the case, especially now, that the quantum is going to be able to do a piece of it, but it's going to be kind of sandwiched by these pre and post classical layers that are going to be needed to interpret what it is the quantum technology has given you. And just to add to that a little bit, we are always going to be wrapping quantum computers with classical electronics and classical machines. They really have a symbiotic relationship. And I think the way we should think about it is that quantum is going to augment classical and classical enables quantum. And so the ratios may change, where we run particular inner loops may change, but there are a few significant differences that mean both are incredibly important. I mean, today we have the ability to do 80 billion transistors in a device and we can do it at scale. We can make incredibly reliable devices and it only takes 24 transistors to build an adder as an example. In addition, it will be done with classical machines, right? There are other use cases, other applications, other things that we'll do for quantum. And we could break that down a little bit more, but I think the key takeaway here is these are symbiotic technologies. I agree, I agree with you 100%. If you look at the evolution of what's going on with large scale, just take the hyperscale and then the on-prem and edge that's developing. It's basically distributed computing. Okay, that's the distributed computing paradigm. That's going to be like a piece.  Once a server is now the internet, right? So everything's distributed and you're starting to see the subsystems being more focused. The focus on silicon, the focus on chips, the focus on the connection points between them. So again, the GPU is a great example. So I could see quantum integrating in with HPC clearly as a beachhead and then from there, it's whatever track it takes. I mean, that's just evolution. That's just the computer industry. That's how it works. Yep, and it's very different than, you know, if you look at the earlier phases of compute where we had vacuum tubes replace mechanical systems and, you know, semi-conductors replace vacuum tubes, it's not going to be like that, right? There is no replacement, right? We will use semiconductors and, you know, if all goes according to plan, we will have quantum machines and they will be together. It's an operating system. It's all the same, it's the same theory. I love it. Anyway, I don't want to harp on that, but I want to get into some specific market questions. Some industry pundits are predicting a quantum winter. The hype cycles obviously is well into the development. Is the, are we in the tropic disillusionment? What do you guys think about this? What's the comment on this quote, quantum winter? Yes or no? I can't say anything about a quantum winter. I'm not unfortunately a weatherman, but I can say that we need to make sure that our messaging is clear from within, you know, the quantum industry. I think it's our responsibility to make sure that we're accurately representing the state of the technology and accurately representing what his capabilities are right now. I think roadmaps are great. And so far in my experience, companies have by and large lived up to those roadmaps. And I think that if you read the capabilities and you read the roadmaps and you understand what they're saying, you will be seeing that really by and large, we're trying to under promise rather than over promise. I think that there, I wouldn't foresee any kind of trough of disillusionment as long as we are understanding where the state of play is and we're not allowing ourselves to get too far ahead of ourselves in terms of the timeline that we see the technology maturing at. I think the expectation setting is right on. I think that's key point.  Yeah, I think it's more of a journey. It's not about seasons, it's a journey. And there is work that we have to do. And as long as we're clear and understand that work, it will progress. So the reality settles in, people who work, it's not like the industry's not going backwards or at it's going forward. Always moving forward. So the question on quantum being practical, some are saying when it reach one million qubits, it's going to be decades before it reach a million. What do you think about that? Is that off base? How much faster can quantum scale vis-a-vis say the classical trajectory? Is there, can you get a feel for where we are in the progress? There is one particular aspect to this question that makes it both very difficult to answer, unfortunately, but also gives me a lot of hope and optimism. And so what's really particular about this is that there's so many different kinds of even when you zoom in on your gate-based traditional quantum computer, as you might think of it, even within that schema, there's a lot of different technologies, a lot of different hardware architectures that are achieving that outcome. So you have things like trapped ions, you have neutral atoms, you have photonics, even within the schema of manipulating a qubit and measuring it, which is fundamentally all that a QPU is doing, there's a lot of different ways in a physical sense to make that happen. And so all of these different technologies are advancing in parallel and already we're seeing some of them scale better. Some of them have better coherence times. Some of them are cheaper to manufacture or easier to maintain. And they've all got their own advantages and of course disadvantages. And what makes me optimistic is that all of these players in the field are gonna keep going, right? They're all gonna keep working on their technology going to try to scale it and going to try to achieve some kind of benchmark that they've set out for themselves. And what that benchmark is, whether it's a million qubits or it's not a million qubits, will depend on the technology too. One of the reasons one million qubits has been set out there as this kind of benchmark is because there's the idea that you're going to need surplus qubits than you really need in order to do that error correction. You're going to need what's called a logical qubit made up out of many physical qubits. And you may not need that or you may not need a thousand to one ratio if the fidelity of your qubits is really high. So it's difficult to predict but I'm really optimistic about the overall timeline just because there's this diversity, there's this growth in the industry and there's starting to be this really, really keen attention and investment paid to it. Yeah, man, it's a moonshot metric. I guess my final question to wrap up here is why should people start paying attention to quantum now and how HPC is integrated into it? This is where we're at now. How do I should I think about it? What steps do I take? What's in it for me? What's for the people in the industry? Why should people start paying attention to quantum now? So let me jump in here for just a moment. If we look around, right, there are plenty of impossible things all around us and those impossible things are the function of a large journey, right? Manufacturing, constant and engineering innovation, science, supply chain, right? And over long periods of time and quantum will be no different. And so what we need to be thinking about is how do we individually and as organizations add energy into this virtuous cycle? How do we make the flywheel go faster so that we can all benefit from the outcomes that are possible? And so there are folks whose responsibility will be to, as Byrne said, figure out error correction. That's a huge technical problem. Other folks are focusing on trying to train up a new generation of engineers to be able to use this technology. As businesses, we should be focusing on the applications that accelerate our businesses. And there are people such as yourself, John, that serve to facilitate the conversation, right? To build the connections between people so that we can all head towards this common goal. And so it's really, when we think about this, we need to think of a journey. We need to think of a flywheel. We need to figure out how we're going to add energy into this so that we can take the benefit. Byrne, your thoughts. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, one additional answer. So everything Mike said is absolutely correct. And we do want to see the industry moving forward. And that can only happen when people are thinking about the technology. And there's a lot of upskilling to do. There is going to be a little bit of a learning curve when it comes to quantum. Not because I think it'll be difficult to use per se, but because the kinds of quantum algorithms that we see that are going to provide us with advantage are counterintuitive. They're quantum mechanical nature. They utilize superposition. And it's just not a natural way for us to think. So I'd love to see developers and people in charge of optimizing given scenarios. I'd love to see them start to think about it now and start to wrap their heads around what is the capability of this technology. And it won't be that long until we see a piece of advantage where quantum is a portion of a larger heterogeneous compute environment. Well, I say we start teaching physics in first grade. Let's get that on the table right away. Okay, so that's number one. Because everyone's going to be coding anyway with no code, low code. Just get physics into the curriculum at first grade. Why don't we start with there? We are so enthusiastic. Mike, we are into quantum. We believe this is an evolution. And it's going to hit a tipping point. And we're going to continue to amplify the industry. We think quantum is positive for the industry and overall everyone in HPC. Super computing is being redefined. Super cloud is emerging and super apps are coming onto the scene with AI in there. All going to need computing. That's what we see clearly the next 20 years as a shift. And we really appreciate you guys doing what you do. And thanks for coming on this program. Just final word, put the plug in for Dell. What are you guys looking to do for collaboration? It's a community. People are looking to do deals, work together, share information, take the last minute guys and share your thoughts on what Dell's doing and what you guys are looking for. Absolutely. So when we say that quantum currently and probably always will or will always rely on that classical infrastructure layer, that's where we want to play. We want to play in this organization, orchestration, optimization layer where we can send the workloads to those appropriate resources and those appropriate accelerators and really be that orchestration piece where we are the first contact for a workload. We can break it down, do that optimization and orchestrate and allocate these resources as is appropriate for the best end result for the customer. Mike? Yeah, start by looking at Dell.com and the quantum computing page and reach out, there's some resources there. You can learn some things, you can meet some people and you can learn about the Dell quantum computing solution. So that would be my quick plug. HPC and quantum go better together and that's the direction. And thanks for coming on this program. What a great panel. Thanks for unpacking and discussing bringing the quantum conversation to the table. We really appreciate it. Thanks for having me, John. Okay, this is the cubes coverage of high performance 2023 part of ISC 2023 event coverage. I'm John Furrier, your host. Thanks for watching.


It's very important to distinguish facts from science fiction. And what I mean by that is that today there exist weapon systems that have autonomy in their ability to select and attack targets, but they're usually confined to very limited roles. They're usually fixed defensive systems that are capable of shooting down missiles or rockets, that is, objects. The issue arises in relation to possible future developments in autonomy and weapon systems, where you may have weapons that are capable of having a far greater degree of freedom of action, freedom of movement, operating in complex, dynamic environments, including against human targets. In terms of the legal questions, can such a weapon system that operates autonomously respect the rules of international humanitarian law, in particular, can a weapon on its own distinguish a tank from a school bus or a soldier from a civilian? The development of autonomous weapon systems has profound implications for the future of warfare and indeed for humanity. And the central question is the potential loss of human control over the selection and attack of targets, that is, over the use of force, and in particular the use of lethal force on the battlefield. But then beyond that, there's this profound moral question, which is, is it right? Do the dictates of public conscience allow a machine to make life and death decisions on the battlefield? States at the moment are unsure what exactly needs to be banned, if anything. In fact, there's no agreement really on banning autonomous weapons. The debate is really around what kind of limits, if any, should apply to these weapon systems. For the ICERC's part, we're not calling for a ban, we're not calling for a moratorium, but we're asking states to consider the legal, ethical, and societal issues that are raised by autonomous weapons, that is, that are raised by the loss of human control over the use of force.


Gaffey probably is stretching your head after that and wondering how we've managed to lose the game, I guess. Yeah, I'm sorry for the lads if I'm honest because we didn't deserve to lose that game. I think anybody who was here or watched it at home would have seen clearly we were the one side that was trying to win the game in terms of our football and what we were trying to produce. I told Dominus of the game really, home side obviously we were looking just to play on the break. It never really caused us too much concern, they had a real go over the last five minutes of the game and they've got a little bit of a reward obviously. We've got the winner in that time but there's any number of other chances that we had. Good chances, clear good chances, chances created by good football and we haven't taken them. That's the one criticism but I'll park my thoughts about the officials for maybe another day but we're all judged on performance and his performance was another level he needed to be tonight so for whatever reason. So we feel a little bit aggrieved because his performance level wasn't where it needed to be but in terms of what we were trying to do on what we produced on the night, I thought we did okay. But if we'd have taken a point out of the game we would have still been disappointed because we felt our Dominus and the game deserved more. When you take that into consideration and obviously look at the fact we concede in the 98th minute several decisions seem to go against us as you mentioned and then even still have time to hit the woodwork twice after we concede until the end of the game. You start to look at it and think potentially it's not our day. It seems that that's the case tonight. Yeah, I mean we created some good opportunities. We've had situations where the referee should have made big decisions. Unfortunately he wasn't prepared to do them. Clear penalty, in my view, where Lee Angle bearing down on goal, getting ready to shoot, he gets his ankles clipped. As the referee he said he thought he dived and he was going to booking but thought better of it so that's why you put the whistle to his lips. So fair play to me. I thought that one very, very quickly. And when you look at the two previous away games where we have in part played very well particularly tonight and got to the point where we've been so close to taking a point from both and then losing it in the last minute, I guess it makes it more difficult for you particularly contextualising with the performance today as well. Yeah, but it's not going to affect our confidence. I think we've played well enough tonight to win this game and we know that. So come the weekend we'll go again and we'll play well again. I don't think from is an issue. I think maybe circumstances and games is going a little bit against us so we're not quite taking the chances when we need to so that will always allow the home side as for ourselves as a way aside it's impossible to give up a whole 90 minutes, 98 minutes. You can't go through that period without giving some chances up to the home side and we restricted them to very few efforts, a few speculative long shots and then at the end they have the chance to put the ball into the box and it's gone to the one man they were aiming for and they score. So very harsh on the guys tonight but we'll pick ourselves up. It wasn't a bad performance tonight, bad the result, bad circumstances but more than happy with what we were trying to do. Kane Harrop back from suspension shot some real bright patches when he came on and adding to those attacking options that we've got up there I guess the lads who have come off the bench. Yeah, Kane's one of those players that disrupts teams and he came on to good effect. I thought Lee Angle came on as well and carried the fight to the opposition in the final third. Some good introductions and on another night we were in that game quite comfortably maybe it's something about this place, it doesn't give us much joy at the moment so thankfully we don't have to see this for a long time. We're disappointed, that's the top of the bomb of it. We didn't deserve to lose with a better team but sometimes you don't get your rewards. Final word on those supporters out behind you of the 450 of them 9 hour round trip on a Tuesday night. Yeah, brilliant. I thought they were election I think they were very vocal in their version of events in terms of the referee and what his impact on the game had been so fans don't react unless they see things that aren't quite right so I think our fans the coaches, the fans were on something they probably feel that the referee got a few things wrong tonight.

Fletcher's apartment That is until I flash my credentials at him and mumble the magic word emergency And I took the elevator up to the ninth floor and Ed Berencher up in Hartford did call you Yeah, that's right So I came on over here to see mr.

Well, yes me ready to see this Mr. Fletcher, that's mr. Fletcher That that's right, Johnny dead is adorned Who'd you vote for in the last general election? We may not realize it, but you voted for someone you probably never heard of and whose name may not have appeared on your ballot and Who was this stranger? He was the elector appointed by your state to decide who was to be our president Every state has as many electors as it has representatives and senators in Congress combined Collectively they're called the Electoral College and It's the members of the Electoral College alone who can vote for the president of the United States Your vote was cast for the group of electors that pledged itself to vote for either the Democratic or Republican nominee But you did not vote directly for either candidate Around of our way of doing things. Yes, but you must remember that when the Constitution was written There was no television no radio and few newspapers The majority of voters had never traveled more than a few miles from their own homes in these circumstances It was impossible for a voter in Maine to know about the great public figures of New York or Pennsylvania, Virginia or South Carolina There were not even any political parties to guide him and so the voter in Maine didn't try to do the impossible He voted for someone who did know the great men of the times and who could render an intelligent decision as to which one of them Should make the best president The system has its faults Three times in our history the man who got the most votes from the people was not elected president because he did not get the Most votes in the Electoral College Yet no one today seriously proposes to abolish the Electoral College Because by and large the people believe that in spite of its drawbacks the present system of electing our president ensures that your country and mine shall be our country under God And now act two of yours truly Johnny dollar came in here and finished him off with just exactly one nice clean shot Uh-huh any sign of a struggle Randy anything like that now, sir So it must have been somebody that he knew that let him in here himself And I'll buy that all right And it kind of proves the old man was right in his fears after all, huh? When Randy any idea when mr. Fletcher was murdered Well, I got that call from your insurance agent up in Hartford early this morning I tried calling mr. Fletcher at his office, but they told me he hadn't come in yet Yeah, so I tried calling him here. No answer So I grabbed Doc Snyder on and he was sure that Fletcher hadn't left the place Well, I borrowed the key and the dock and I came up Randy you haven't answered my question Oh according to the dock it happened sometime very early this morning right after midnight. I see Doc and a couple of boys from the lab just left. Oh, they find anything Randy any clues and other thing to work on All I know is that he was shot through the heart and what he was shot with and believe me Johnny that bullet was placed Just exactly right Well, now what do you mean by that? Oh, just take a good look Well now what under the sun is that some kind of a bulletproof vest? Yeah, that's what I thought until Doc Snyder looked at it. No Johnny. It's a it's a kind of a corset That's right a kind of a back support that was made for him especially on the count of some kind of sacred I mean sacro lumber trouble or something. Oh, yeah, sacro lumbar support. Yeah, I've never seen one quite like this This thing's almost like a suit of armor. Sure. That's why I say it was a lucky shot I mean the shot had to be placed exactly right Incher two on either side and one of those wide steel ribs would have bounced it off or at least kept from going straight into his heart Oh, oh wait a minute a 38 slug packs a lot of wallop. Yeah, only this was a little 22 analysis, yeah Insurance man the one who called and said you were coming on down here at Berencher Yeah, well, he told me that Fletcher had been expecting something like that's right Yeah, he said that Fletcher made no bones about who might try that's right The one man who might stand to benefit from his insurance Somehow we have to find now who's that? Randy in his advertising business. He had a partner and it seems this partner a man named William spade No, wait a minute.   I'm mr. Fletcher's partner. What's that? So you're bill spade, huh? Yeah, my name is dollar Johnny dollar the insurance investigation. That's right, and Is that a policeman I see in there in the library? Mr. Dollar or something wrong? Where have you been mr. spade? Why I just got in from Philadelphia. I was down there on some important agency business just got back on when My plane got in about a half an hour ago. Maybe 45 minutes here Here's my ticket. You can check on it. Yeah, maybe I will Where did you stay in Philadelphia? At the Bellevue Stratford, but why what's wrong around here? Where is mr. Fletcher? Just take it easy But I've got to see him on a business matter. You do, huh? Yes, it's very important about a new client of ours It has to be acted on at once. Well, I'm afraid it's gonna have to wait I called the office from the airport and they said he wasn't in yet. So I came on over here Now where is he and what's this all about mr. Dollar? So you claim you were down in Philadelphia when your business partner was shot? That's right. I what? Shot mr. Fletcher was shot real surprised. Where is it? Let me see. I said take it easy But good heavens mr. Dollar easy and if this business matter is so all fired important Well, hadn't you better be down at the office taking care of it? No, Johnny. Well, mr. Spade Well, yes, of course, of course, I sure sure you should so, uh, why don't you just run along after all? Mr. Fletcher's in no condition to run your attic. That's the understatement of all time. I can't believe it Mr. Fletcher dead. No, you can't. This is terrible Have you any idea who could have done this to him? Are you kidding? What do you mean? All right now. Yeah, mr. Spade you better get on down to that office yours and as soon as we can tell you anything We will get in touch Believe me. There's anything I can do. Please call. Well, not just don't you worry about that But get on down to the office and take over right ahead in the spade. I'll be in touch with you Very well, mr. Dollar. Now, what do you... What's got into you, Johnny?  Fletcher. So how you gonna prove it? We got no other suspect, have we? And you let him go. Look here this plane ticket. Yeah. Yeah, I saw it. I saw him shove it into your hand I knew that Spade was supposed to be in Philly that he was due to come back here today So when I pulled into the airport, I carefully checked the incoming flight schedule So what? Oh, this flight was due in all right hand from Philadelphia Just when he said half or three quarters of an hour ago. Yeah, all right. All right. So what that doesn't prove He was actually on that flight. Randy, I think he was that ticket could have been used by somebody else Well, it's easy enough to check on but I doubt it very much. All right But if you're right about that if he was down there in Philly then your first theory about him is all wrong How could he have murdered mr. Fletcher? Sounds impossible, doesn't it? Of course it is Wanna bet He looks just like his father We've all heard statements like this, but have you ever stopped to wonder exactly why we resemble our relatives? One man did Thomas haunt morgan Born in lexington, kentucky in 1866 Morgan's interest in science took him to the university of kentucky and john's hopkins While his colleagues were choosing fields and physics and chemistry Morgan's interest turned to something more personal Man himself Why do we inherit physical characteristics from our parents? To find the answer morgan spent years studying the common fruit fly He bred generation after generation Constantly observing the traits produced He then computed mathematical tables and analyzed the whole question of heredity in terms of the nucleus The nucleus he observed was the center of activity in every cell As a result he developed his theory of the gene This theory simplified holds that each human cell contains hundreds of units called genes And each gene carries a physical characteristic from its parents For this outstanding work Morgan was awarded the Nobel Prize for physiology and medicine in 1933 Thomas haunt morgan an american scientist with the philosophy that somewhere there must be an answer Let's find it Now act three of yours truly johnny dollar and the back to Expense account adam 4 10 cents for a call to the fletcher advertising agency No, sir. Mr. Spade isn't in yet. All right then miss He telephoned that he would stop off and see mr. Fletcher before coming in at mr. Fletcher's apartment And he called you from the airport didn't he? And uh probably left the door of the phone both open so you could hear the background noise of the planes and so on Sure, so you know, he actually was calling from the airport Item 5 60 cents for a half a dozen calls to various departments of the airline company And finally I managed to get hold of the gal who'd been stewardess on the flight in from philadelphia Uh-huh, and he wore a dark brown twig on it. Yeah, then it must have been bill spade. All right But uh, how come you remembered him so well out of your whole list of passengers How could I forget him? What do you mean by that? Oh, mr. Dollar from takeoff to landing that whole flight was perfect But mr. William spade in the verge of it. Uh, he must have pushed the call button a dozen times Mary and I were busier with him than with all the other passengers put together. I see Mary swore he was perfectly all right that didn't keep him from pushing that button Yeah, almost as though he was deliberately calling attention to himself I think I have a pretty good idea Thanks a lot Spade told me he'd stayed over in philadelphia at the belview strathford item 6 is the dollar 30 for a call down there That's right, sir You mean he said he was going to his room. I see I'm sure he did Oh, maybe it was just to impress you with the time he left your hotel Nothing forget it. Thanks From the minute spade handed me that plane ticket as an alibi. I felt sure he had murdered mr. Fletcher As for all his trouble to establish He'd been in philadelphia that morning then aboard the plane then at the airport. Well all very clever But where was he? What was he doing before he checked under the belview? And don't forget it's only a short hop from philly to new york Oh, I knew what spades answer would be that he was in his hotel room asleep And I'm sure that no one could prove otherwise No one that is except spade himself could prove he left that hotel during the night Go on to new york under another name killed his partner Then got back in plenty of time to check out of the belview at 8 a.m So unless I could somehow somehow trick him Item 785 cents for a cab to his office Yes, come in mr. Dollar and sit down. Yeah, all right. Thanks I'm sorry for the appearance of my desk But with all that's happened and with the affairs of my new client to take care of Your new clients Well, after all with mr. Fletcher gone Hey looks to me like you have every newspaper in town piled up here But they wouldn't write about mr. Fletcher unless you were dead or murdered What? Tell me how did you and Fletcher get along? I suppose I might have expected you to ask something like that Just as a matter of routine questioning your questioning of anyone who knew him maybe But what did you mean by saying the papers would only print a story if he were dead? Just let me ask the questions Well, of course well Mr. Fletcher and I ran this business together Personally, how'd you get along? He was a very difficult person, mr. Dollar created many embarrassing situations here in the office embarrassing for you Yes But I blame it all on the constant pain from his back. You see, he had a very serious condition Sacred lumbar. Yes, I know I know But I had to admire and respect him He was a genius I'll just look at the way he built up this agency. Yeah, it'd be nice to have wouldn't it especially by you In other words, you had plenty of motive for killing him Yes, of course But if you think for one man, I'm sure you had no trouble getting hold of a key to his apartment Mr. Dollar knows maybe mr. Fletcher gave you one after all his own part Dollar if this is an attempt to be facetious Look here. It's bad enough that mr. Fletcher is dead. Now That's the second time you said that said what that Fletcher is dead Well, of course I What did I say that he was Or the lieutenant there at the apartment. He said he was shot. He must be dead You mentioned his back trouble. Look here now Is I myself saw that Corsities was wearing those wide heavy stays made of steel Oh You why it would bounce off it like hale off a roof Now a big gun of 38 But you forgot all about that regular suit of armor. He had around him, but he fell I saw him I saw him for sure you did and I thought the bullet but if I didn't kill him I was sure I had I'd aim for his heart and when he fell there when he Oh, oh no Fletcher is dead And now that you've told me who did it dollar, please Listen, you uh Mind if I use your phone Ah, it's funny how a man like that can plan a thing so carefully carry it out so carefully And then when he's caught loses head and blab all over the place Spade even made a grab for the little 22 pistol he'd used and had right there in his desk Well, it'll be good as evidence Expensive out total including a good meal on the fare back to dear old Hartford Hmm 25 80 Yours truly johnny dollar Johnny dollar starring bob bailey originates in hollywood and is written produced and directed by jack johnstone heard in our cast were virginia greg gene tatum frank gerstle james mccallean herb vigrant jack edwards and forest lewis Be sure to join us next week same time and station for another exciting story of yours truly johnny dollar This is john wall speaking Johnny dollar has come to you through the worldwide facilities of the united states armed forces radio and television circles


All right, so we found out, we knew that Maxim Integrated is now part of Analog Devices, but we really found out now because we were going to link to the Maxim Integrated Twitter account and it's like, nope, gone. So this week's IonMPI is for sure, it's Maxim Integrated, but it is Analog Devices. Okay, it's both. It is though. But the part number is a Max part number. So this week's IonMPI is the Max31888. It's a new high precision, high accuracy, one-wire temperature sensor that's available from Maxim, which I think purchased Della Semi because the DS series was the DS18B20 and this is clearly kind of a next generation. So yeah, these companies, they just kind of squished together a lot, but that's great. They're all Analog Devices now, congratulations to ADI. So again, this week's new product is the Max31888. It's a one-wire temperature sensor, but it also has a unique NIST traceable 64-bit identifier and it has like three GPIO as well. And it kind of does like a lot of stuff going on there and it's a little bit specialty. It looks like it probably goes into somebody's product, like I have some ideas of what that might be, but I thought it would be also useful if you have any kind of temperature monitoring that you have to do, especially if you have either a very limited number of pins that you want to use for temperature modeling, because like the DS18B20, this is a parasitically powered sensor. So one-wire, people don't talk about it as much as I2C, I2C is the most popular sensor protocol right now, but one-wire, which started with Della Semi and is now owned by Maxim, is kind of neat in that you only, like they say one-wire, but it's really two-wires. You need ground and then one data slash power wire, and that's half as many as I2C, which uses four-wires and a lot fewer than SPI that can use, you know, five or more because you need power, ground, and then three or four data lines. So you only need one-wire and that one-wire is used for power and data. You can see the diode inside this simplified block diagram and it can parasitically power, you just need to give it a single capacitor to help that parasitic power, so like I think a one microfarad or so is good enough. And then all you need is the ground wire and the data power wire, and you can chain as many as you want, which is kind of neat. And there's also a special case here where you can use a GPIO pins as kind of pseudo addresses, so you can have eight, you can have as many as you want on one-wire, but if you want to like be able to kind of sub-address them, you can use a GPIO wires as well. I thought, you know, one of the examples they had in the data sheet for what this could be used for is cold chain monitoring, and cold chain monitoring is something that nobody used to know about two years ago, and now everybody knows about because it's how we transmit, sorry, transport vaccines around the world. Vaccines, some of them have to be kept very cold, negative 80 degrees, and you want to make sure that that no point do they heat up. So if you have a big box, let's say you have, you know, a pallet that has vaccines in it, and the box is maybe a meter by a meter by a meter, you want to be able to measure the temperature at every corner, so that would be six different sensors in one one in the center and make sure that at no point does any side of the box get above negative 80 degrees. You could use something like this and you would have minimum wiring, like you wouldn't have to pass a long chain of I-squared C cables and bus expanders around. You would just use two wires and they all connect onto that one bus. Another thing that's really nice about one wire is it's designed for long distances, unlike I-squared C, which is, you know, power ground, SDASCL, and some pull-ups, and it's really only meant for like maybe, you know, 200 millimeters. You can easily put I-squared C bus on with just a pull-up resistor on 200 meters of cabling using a Cat5 cable, which is a lot, like 200 meters total. That's a ton. And here is, there's some examples of different topographies you can use, and it's up to you whether you want to use star or bus or, you know, stubs, and they have some examples also of if you have a active driver, like they have specialty chips for active driving of one wire, you can go up to 500 meters. So, you know, a cable like this that would be very tough to do with I-squared C, this is a one-wire temperature sensor. So this sensor kind of builds on the DS18B20 popular series. It's 0.25 degrees centigrade accurate compared to 0.5 degree. And of course, as those extra GPIO pins that the DS18B20 does, it only has one pin for power and data and then ground. So, you know, it could be good for battery packs, for cold storage, for data logging, ultra-low power, temperature, and GPIO control. There's also a handy-dandy valve board available that you can use from Maxim, which has a sensor, and then an I-squared C to one-wire converter. If you haven't used one wire, do check it out. It's very reliable. It's really good for temperature sensing. There's a couple other, you know, there's eProm, and I think Microchip also has a secure element that's one-wire as well. So it, you know, it is available for multiple different manufacturers. And it's great when you really just want, you know, one-wire simplicity and long-distance support for sensing. Okay, available on Digi-Key. You can actually get it. It's in stock. Yeah. It's available right now, both the valve board and individual chips. There's a short URL, there is the Digi-Key ID, and don't forget, Maxim integrated is now part of analog devices. And that's right on MPI.


Thor Love and Thunder is a full-blown comedy, more in line with Austin Powers than, say, Thor 1. I'm not mad. I'm disappointed. Director Taika Waititi is back for Thor Love and Thunder after doing Thor Ragnarok, which I thought was awesome. I love Thor Ragnarok, it's one of my favorite MCU movies, definitely in the top 10 range for me. So after seeing this, I start to question my own taste. That's not fair to myself. Thor Ragnarok is absolutely awesome still because it does a great job marrying action, comedy, drama, and spectacle into one beautiful two-hour film. This however goes so far in the comedy space that anytime something serious happens, you're just waiting for the next joke to discredit it. As my intro stated, I'm not mad. I'm disappointed because I didn't hate Thor Love and Thunder when I realized very early on that this was not going to be a movie I could take seriously and I'm just here to get some laughs and walk away and not think twice about this film ever again. The part that disappoints me is it should have been so much more, especially hot off the heels of some great Thor outings in both Ragnarok and Infinity War Slash Endgame.  He's massive. He's impressive to look at. He's a specimen beyond all compare. His dialogue however and the way he carries himself are full-blown parody at this point. He's a character of Thor 1 and 2. Joining him on his misadventures is Natalie Portman as Jane. Remember Jane, everyone's favorite from the old films? Sarcasm? After an extended break she's back in the mix, this time dining her own armor and that hammer. That trusty mjorn, mjornan, mjornan, I can never say it. The hammer that Thor loves. And that's where the bulk of the comedy comes from. Not so much his infatuation with Jane and the one that got away, but that of his hammer and how he has to deal with Stormbreaker and the jealousy between these two objects. Again, it's Zoolander, okay, it's Austin Powers. There were a series of web shorts that came out years ago where Chris Hemsworth played Thor but he was in a more comical situation like an office space or just in an apartment with a roommate. These were only like five to ten minute long things and they were just total comedies through and through. They were very funny. I liked them. I never really thought of them as being part of the Thor universe though.  I think Thor Love and Thunder, and I hate myself for saying this because almost all the Disney Plus shows are trash, would have worked better as a Disney Plus show. And with it would be the understanding that this is not the Thor 4 we were expecting to see.  And then we would get the real Thor 4 in a year or so. I brought up Jane. I'm not done with you yet, Missy. Everything she says is absolute cringe. And that's not the fault of Natalie Portman, although I feel like I say that a lot. But maybe it is her fault too. Anyway, she plays Lady Thor here. She's flying around, jumping, doing all sorts of cool stuff. And I was worried it wouldn't be justified. She would just get the hammer because she's suddenly worthy and that would be that. But no, a lot of montages in this. But he does take some time to build this character and why she's worthy and the explanation behind it is actually very compelling and dramatic. It should be far more dramatic actually. And there's lots of stuff like that sprinkled through this script where I could look at it and say, man, there was actually a really good emotional story at the core here but Taki just wanted to make a comedy so all the stuff that should be focused on is just brushed aside. It's just glossed over so quickly because the Jane Foster stuff, that was a movie. And it's a movie that I think would have worked really well. It's funny. Cat Dennings shows up for a small little scene here and she was the comic relief in the first two Thor movies that were much more serious. Now somehow she's like the straight man of these films. Because they've gotten so loony tunes, bonkers, she comes off as the most sane one. Just a weird, uh, weird flip. Ragnarok's, Valkyrie, and Korg are both back. They're perfect. Zero complaints about them. I would have liked to see even more Valkyrie. The Guardians of the Galaxy are here too. Briefly. For about five to eight minutes, they don't last long, which sucks. I wanted them in this longer, especially with the T's at the end to end game that this was going to be a Asgardians of the Galaxy adventure they would go on. The Dark Knight himself, Christian Bale, is here playing gore. Not to be confused with Thor or Korg. Lots of ores in this film. I'm not going to lie. I was getting some Tommy Lee Jones Batman and Robin vibes from this guy. It's unfortunate. Christian Bale is an amazing actor. But again, I think it's because he's kind of overly serious and hamming it up. I've seen that with everyone else who looks like they're in a space jam movie. It's tough. It's a tough thing to see. I said this works better as a Disney plus show, not just because of the script, but because of virtually everything happening in here.  They're not even trying anymore. It's just scene after scene of actors in front of green screens.  I know nothing's real. And granted, yeah, oftentimes they're in big coliseums or on a different planet and we don't have that stuff readily available, but you can build things. I've seen Lord of the Rings.  They make costumes that don't look like knockoffs from that pop-up Halloween store. And that's another thing. These costumes are so bad. Thor looks like a jackass in this. In this movie, everything is just noise. And not only is the noise coming from the colors, it's coming from the music and the sound effects. Remember the screaming goat meme from a couple years back? Pepperidge Farm remembers. He uses it like 15 times and I'm not even being over the top. I think there's 15 legitimate goat screams in this. A lot of action in this. It's 50-50 whether it's played as a serious moment or something out of a hot shots film. And again, 90% of it's in front of a green screen with fake weapons. So it's just watching actors pretending like they're me. Like in front of a green screen. Throws the hammer, sprays off always. Goat sound effect. Guns N' Roses song number three playing in the background. And speaking of which, what the hell happened here? Does Disney have stock in Guns N' Roses merchandise?  Not only is there Guns N' Roses songs prominently featured. There's a poster in the background of a kid's bedroom. Another kid is wearing a Guns N' Roses t-shirt. What is going on with the Guns N' Roses? There's a kid in the movie that wants to be called Axel. I don't, I don't get this.  I guarantee you, they're like, alright, let's put a Guns N' Roses song in here and let's have a t-shirt and a kid changes name and all this stuff. And then we're going to look at Spotify and iTunes and record sales. We're going to look at the charts and the schematics and we're going to see what changes and how much influence we have. And then we can package that and sell that going forward as a perk. Like look, we're making the next Black Panther. You want to be the next Kendrick Lamar? We got a slot for you. It only costs seven million dollars. We'll drop a name. We'll have a kid wear a backpack, maybe a hat.  Long story short, if you're looking for a Thor movie that's going to respect the source material, it's going to treat gods and goddesses and different characters, walks of life with respect. Don't watch this movie. If you go in with the knowledge that this really is nothing more than a comedy, you can get some laughs out of it and you can have a good time like I did. Just because I enjoyed it on a superficial level, though, doesn't mean I'm not incredibly disheartened, absolutely devastated that this is the route they went. Huge misstep for me. Huge. I talked long enough. Now I want to hear from you. Let me know in the comments. If you're not Thor Love and Thunder or if you have zero interest because of what you heard or what you've seen so far, maybe you don't like Ragnarok, in which case I can't imagine a single living being would like this film if they don't like Ragnarok. In fact, this is one of those movies where you're not going to gain any new supporters and you're probably going to lose a good chunk of them that came from Thor 3. Make sure to take that hammer and smash that subscribe button so you don't miss a single episode. I post tons of movie and TV show related content all the time. I'm about to watch the finale of Boys Season 3 and then I plan on doing a review of that whole show so far, so stick around for that and hopefully I see you next time.  He was supposed to be Zeus, but he came off like that gay golden robot from Futurama. I can't remember his name. The Caesar Bot or whatever. Yeah.
