Once the Tears of the Kingdom's latest gameplay came out on Tuesday, there was a lot of reactions on the internet, a lot of people excited and hyped, and also a lot of people going, yup, this confirms Tears of the Kingdom is just DLC. What's interesting, of course, is the counterarguments to everything about Tears of the Kingdom being just DLC has to do with the gameplay itself. Meanwhile, most of the people talking about the DLC aspects are talking about the world, but what are developers saying? What are actual game developers saying about this? Because clearly, if anyone understands, if this is just something you would see in a DLC or not, it would be game developers, and it kinda turns out what Tears of the Kingdom is doing almost feels like it's an embarrassment for their careers. What? Before we get into it, I want to remind you, we are on our road to 100,000 subscribers. If we somehow pull it off before Tears of the Kingdom, we'll give away a collector's edition, we'll give away a Tears of the Kingdom Switch OLED, a special pin that was only available at PAX East, and who knows what else. Thank you guys so much for being here, and let's dive into this. So, I gotta give a big shout out to fellow YouTuber and friend of the channel, PlayerEssence, for pointing out these quotes earlier today. I dug into them just to make sure they're there and they are, so we're gonna get into them ourselves right now. And we first need to talk about a guy by the name of David Goldfarb. He's actually the studio lead of the Outsiders, and they created Metal Hellsinger, a very highly praised game, and he put up a tweet saying, the new Zelda is making us all look bad. Now remember, I said something about this was sort of embarrassing for them. It's sort of talking in cheek that they're upset, but they are upset because they are impressed by what is happening. Now, JP Kellams, who's a former platinum games dev, I believe he actually works at Harmonix right now, said, encouraging all aspiring system designers to seek a new career path. Now, this was obviously in regards to Tears of the Kingdom, and then what's interesting here in looking at all of this is Michelle Plam, a senior developer at BioWare, oh my gosh, now we're getting even higher up the chain here, responded and said, I'm pretending I didn't see it. Ignorance is bliss. Now look, in a vacuum, maybe this doesn't mean a lot to you guys, and certainly if you think Tears of the Kingdom is DLC, nothing these developers say are going to change your mind, but I've been pointing this out over on Twitter and some other places this entire time that after seeing that gameplay, it's nearly impossible to just call this DLC. What they are doing from a gameplay perspective is so magical, so imaginative, so difficult to make work. The three core abilities they showed off between the fusion, the recall, gosh, I'm forgetting the one where you get to go through the ceiling of objects. All of this is so difficult to code, so difficult to make work in an organic way. Systems like this just do not exist in other games. As an example, one of the criticisms of Breath of the Wildtimes is weapon durability. Other games have had it and it wasn't as bad, or they gave you the ability to repair and blah blah blah. Nintendo goes, look, we're still going to have durability problems, but you know what?  No other game does that. It just doesn't exist. It is such a unique idea and so difficult to implement, let alone well, and the way it's looking like so far it works in Tears of the Kingdom is just, it is a programming masterpiece.  There's a reason other video games don't even attempt to do stuff like this, why they might be focused on pretty visuals or some other gameplay aspect that maybe isn't as difficult to make work so flawlessly as what Nintendo has presented here. I think the opinions of these game developers matter far far more than anything I have to say, or anything people in Zelda communities have to say, or even the critics. We're sure to get a batch of people down in the comments section saying, I don't really care, it still looks like DLC and a lot of this is just because it's still in high rule, but from a gameplay perspective, this stuff is magical and I honestly feel, and I've felt like this, even with the original Breath of the Wild back in 2016, that people aren't going to understand the magic until they play it themselves. The moment they are in the midst of the gameplay, playing it themselves, they will fundamentally understand how magical this is. Game developers can already look at this and go, holy crap, they just made the whole industry look bad. Why? Because other parts of the industry wouldn't even dare to attempt to do this because of the difficulty of pulling it off. And what's interesting, of course, is when you dive even deeper into this and you realize, hey, what was Breath of the Wild built around exploration and the core mechanics, right?  We have seen no instance of the champion abilities existing here. We don't appear to have any of the Sheikah Slay abilities either. There's no bomb, there's no stasis, right? There's no magnetesis. We don't have those core abilities and that's what the game world was built around. Now we're in this world that's been expanded, had a lot of significant changes done to it and everything that made the core gameplay function before is gone, stripped out. All we're left is with the bare bones. Oh, we can swing a weapon. Oh, we can shoot a bow. Oh, we can combine arrows with any material to create unique weapons. Why? Why do we need this? There must be some crazy gameplay elements built around it. Why do we need to fuse things all the time? What is going on? Why are we building things? This is so crazy. What is happening? And the entire game is built around these core concepts. That already makes Tears of the Kingdom so fundamentally different from Breath of the Wild. We'll still have the exploration. We'll still have the open world. We'll still have the go anywhere and do anything. But how we do it has fundamentally changed so much. It's impossible not to be impressed. See, Breath of the Wild was impressive due to its scope being an open world Zelda game, the climbing mechanics, the sailcloth, all that and obviously throwing in those abilities. But to many people it just sort of felt like an appetizer. Hey, we just needed to make the physics engine work.  And we should be applauding them even just from a technical perspective. Nintendo is proving not everything's about visuals. I understand some people are disappointed. They wanted the game to look significantly better. They wanted this. They wanted that. I get it. 60 FPS would be wonderful. But from a pure gameplay perspective, I used to program. I am so impressed by what they are doing. It's unheard of. I don't know what it is. The Zelda team is magical, man. We don't even know the story yet. We don't know the other mechanics of the game. We don't know all the crazy new enemies and other stuff happening. We got constructs. Okay, there's so much we don't know. But just from what we do know, dude, this Nintendo is crazy, man. They're just going for it. They just said, you know what? Yes, we will make fusing a thing. Yes, we will make crafting and building things, but we're going to do it our way. Yes, we are that good. I just, oh my gosh, there's even moments like in there where it looks like we can literally move parts of the damn world. Like I'm just, what is happening with Tears of the Kingdom? I have so many questions that we're not going to get answered probably until the game comes out. But man, that was one impressive gameplay showcase. I know it was very simple. It might not have been some of the exciting stuff some of you guys were hoping to see, but the moment they showed off the abilities, my mind instantly raced to how complex these systems are to work the way that they do. And that, my friends, that ain't no DLC, man. Nobody re-thinks the entire core gameplay mechanics in this way. I mean, this alone probably took three years just to program this, just to make it function. I just, I'm blown away. Thank you guys so much for tuning in. It's been a pleasure talking to you.


covered a few times candy making and see if it would be possible to make something using our ancient tools and equipment that we've made from scratch so far. So a challenge Lauren to see if she could make some starbursts starting all the way from scratch and see how well they turn out and maybe give it a little bit of a cursed flavor. So let's see how they turn out. Today's modern starburst candy started in the 1960s as Opal Fruit, a small square taffy known for the fruit flavors. Taffy itself dates back even further to the 1800s where it became known for being sold along the boardwalks of the northeast. Taffy contains a few ingredients but at its core it's primarily sugar. Alright so we have our sugar beets and the sugar beet is called the sugar beet because it has sugar in it. About 25% of the root is actually sucrose and that is what we are going to harvest today. Oh yeah nice. So even though it did freeze the root has been protected by the soil so the yield is still good so we can still use these guys and dig them up. Doug Trio. Whoa. Alright gonna get rid of the dirt and then do the processing. So we only need the root which is the actual beet so I will be taking the dirt off, taking the greens off and then peeling it. I'm gonna rinse them, make a nice soup. Beets are so scary looking they look like rat tails. In order to get more sugar out of the beets we are going to hash brown it. That makes the water come in contact with the surface area of the beet and then give this more sugar. You ever have a. Ukra fries? No, um. Homicidal thoughts. Our thin strips. Right now that the fire has calmed down I'm gonna put the little bowl of our sugar beets on here. Kind of reduce some of the water down. It's gonna bring it to a low boil and that's gonna help the sucrose extract from the sugar beets and that's what we're gonna need to use. Great so as you can see we are losing some of our yield which is not great. We're gonna have to figure out how to make fire clay so we can actually have things that we use over fire that doesn't crack. If anybody has any advice let us know. Alright so it looks like nothing happened but there's some little bubbles which it's meaning that there's definitely some sucrose happening in there. My sucrose senses are tingling. Oh yeah getting a little milky. Love that. Dobby. Hi Dobby. So last time we did some sugar beet work it oxidized. Turn black. We don't want our candy to be black so we're going to try to use some citrus juice to stop the oxidization. It is sweet and starchy and now it has a nice hint of lime which was unexpected but I think it'll be pretty good. Now that we've extracted the sugars we're going to dehydrate it which will just leave the sugar left and we'll be ready to use it for our taffy. So I'm gonna make some taffy today and I got an expert here from Max Fish & Chip. So my name is Tom Flanagan. I'm the owner of Max Fish & Chips. We do made to order fresh fish and chips but we also make saltwater taffy which is why we're here today. That's what we're going to do today. We've got our location which is here in Minneapolis but we have another one across the river over in St. Paul. Man I've heard something about the twins games. Yes we do so we do walleye out at Target Field for all the twins games. That's awesome you have a stand there. We do. Cool okay well I'll look for the mascot. Oh yeah he's always running around. It seems like we don't have a lot is this really all you need. Really basic ingredients so we've got four things today. So we're going to start with just some plain white sugar okay and is there a certain amount it looks like well I can't tell you the exact recipe okay you're gonna have to figure that out for yourself that's very fair and then we got a little light corn syrup plain old water I know what that is plain old butter that's it we're just going to mix all these together all right so we'll set this on our heat source and then wait perfect so right now I'm just checking the temperature it's a little bit humid today so we're going to go a little bit hotter than normal we're going to stop this right when it hits 249 we go much over that the taffy is going to be too brittle and too much under that it's going to be too liquidy and we won't be able to pull it so what we're doing right now is boiling out all the water okay and so that's where the humidity comes into factor oh sure when we're pulling it that air is going to get mixed back into it and the air is too humid and adds too much moisture it's not going to be the right consistency there's a lot of room for air which is making me nervous so this is all done we're going to pull this off nice so what's next all right so we're going to cool this down real quick we're going to give it an ice bath and then we're going to mix in the color and the flavor so what I'm doing is just checking to see how hard it's getting and then we're going to kind of mix all the hot bits with the cool bits the official taffy poke so what's going on now is the taffy is cooled on the bottom but it's still hot on the top and so we want to mix it back together it's really really hot yeah 300 pieces so we opened up this shop about eight years ago that's about how long we've been making taffy all right so we're gonna add a little salt is that why it's called salt water taffy it is dang see how I put that together all right we got strawberry today we're doing strawberry today all right so now we're going to work that flavoring in because that's going to absorb all that flavoring and then it's going to be able to disperse it throughout the rest of the candy okay you guys ready to pull it yeah they're going and it definitely changes far yeah it's going to start bulking up a little bit here too wow very cool has it ever fallen up once you get it like this it's pretty stable if you leave it too long and it gets brittle then it's going to fly all over the place and yeah I've had that happen a few times how am I going to do this by hand like it's going to be a lot of work it is good thing I'm so buff so I'll pull out a little piece here do you see how it kind of switer webs a little bit when you do that yeah that's how you know that it's done oh nice so right now what we're doing is we're going to spread out this taffy a little bit so that we can cut it into strips yield today is this the right consistency seems like a good yield you make it look so easy well I've done it before yes yeah it's cool you can see the little air bubbles in there so you're going to pick up your wrapper and put it right there fold it over on the top give it a twist like a burrito you're gonna pinch both ends like that and that's it fold over roll like a burrito oh see pinch and twist I was not pinching but first quick word from today's sponsor keeps two out of three guys will experience male pattern baldness by the time they're 35 if that's something

how to make taffy I'm gonna try to do it myself here we have the ingredients we did the beet sugar that we've reduced we have water butter and we don't have corn syrup because we haven't unlocked that but we did make maple syrup and that's kind of the same thing I think all right since it's Halloween and you know a trick or treat we're gonna go a little creative with our uh ingredients so for the trick portion peppers you know good flavor a little orange juice and toothpaste a classic and then for the treat we're gonna do the classic strawberry like Tom taught us did I tell Tom that we're making these flavors no all right salt all right mixing this beautiful flavor I'll tell you the ingredients orange juice toothpaste okay all right I'm just gonna grind these up in the mortar pestle but I don't want any of the dang tops get those out of here all right we got some peppers from Andy's garden multiple varieties all right I'm cutting this carefully I will wash my hands afterwards all right gonna see if we can get some strawberry flake okay goopy so hopefully I can glob this in this bowl oh yeah all right now the next step is just to mix everything together in our pan that we'll be cooking it in first we have the beet sugar since it is in a liquid form I'm gonna use slightly less water but still a bit corn syrup in the form of maple syrup and then our butter I think I'll use about so for our taffy we're gonna go a little different route and we're gonna make it in a nice little squares as a nod to the 1960s smash it starburst which is actually taffy I didn't know that so in order to make the candy wrappers I am assuming it's gonna be pretty sticky so I'm gonna have some canvas cloth and put a film of beeswax on it so I have melted beeswax but I'm also using beeswax to spread it because you know why not why not there's no rules get it into our heat source very carefully okay all right it started to homogenize definitely boiling so the consistency is important to make taffy because if it's too hot or too cold it'll either turn out into a hard candy or a caramel so it's important that you hit it somewhere in the middle all right so I don't think we're gonna have a very big yield it seems that you know more of it's boiling off than I thought but we're gonna have enough for at least three pieces let's do the part where I boiled the pepper in order to get the pepper essence we're just gonna put this in here it's gonna kind of boil let me get you a bite oh gotta be pretty quick gotta get in gonna bring it over here so I'm just gonna use a little bit of this flavor and get out of here goodbye thank you for your service okay we're gonna have so much lost we're gonna have so much lost in the bowls okay saltly oh my god shut up it's a good idea okay because you can stir it more controlled make it strawberry oh yeah ink looks like peanut butter but it's not it's a little cursed but it's Halloween okay gonna work see it's hardening already yeah it's turning into caramel because I got got too cold okay working it in it's gonna work all right this is the general motion this is so cursed there you go look at that okay we're adding the air to it that's kind of a mess my apologies we're taking what we got and wrapping it up hands are a little sticky lovely all right so I'm just forming them into the starburst shape this is the spicy one you can tell by the seeds dip this in the orange juice toothpaste orange juice and toothpaste great third and final strawberry parents if your kids come home something like this probably don't eat it there you go there's our taffy all right so we're gonna go back to Tom have him try one which one he tries it's up to him I'm really advertising the presentation I think it would just fly off the shelves it's uh oh okay so what I think happened is I think it's caramel a flavors to be honest it kind of tastes like bacon um okay so you're kind of getting like a crystallized taste yeah so what we did we don't have corn syrup yep so we substituted maple syrup which wasn't the best idea because I realized that it crystallizes and that's what we're tasting here whole kind of but it was super crystallized yeah but well the bacon makes sense now the maple syrup what's interesting is when we were first kind of learning how to do this yeah we made a lot of taffy turn out just like this okay so I'm kind of on the right hand yeah you're getting for a first try it's not terrible but yeah it's definitely um yeah if you enjoyed this video be sure to subscribe and check out other content we

We all know that according to the English Dictionary, a coup is a sudden, violent, and unlawful seizure of power from a government, but based on the recent coups that have happened on the African continent, a new definition of coup has been recently formulated. And we can call that Africa's own definition of a coup. It goes as follows, a coup is an attempt by the military to save their countries from President's broken promises. Doesn't this completely encompass what Africans have been feeling concerning these coups? It truly does, and we have none other than the interim president of Guinea, Colonel Mamadi Dumbuya, to thank for this eye-opener. The president who also came into power through a coup in 2021 gave this new definition of a coup during his speech at the UN General Assembly in New York on Thursday, September 21. Standing boldly before the gathering of world leaders and without mincing words, Colonel Mamadi told the leaders that beyond condemning the coups, global leaders must also look to and address the deep-rooted causes. He continued to say that a putschist is not only someone who takes up arms to overthrow a regime like the English Dictionary, tells us but the real putschists are people who avoid any condemnation, those who cheat to manipulate the text of the Constitution to stay in power eternally. However, very clearly, without hypocrisy, without pretence, eye to eye, we're all aware that this model of democracy that you so insidiously and skilfully impose on us after the Laboul Summit in France, almost in a religious manner, is not working. Mamadi's words bring to mind the president for life that we have in Africa. They are African leaders who have overstayed their term in power, but refuse to leave and they even go further to manipulate the Constitution to ensure that they continue to rule. But that's not all. Some of them even go as far as ensuring that their children continue in their stead whenever they choose to leave. Colonel Mamadi's words mean that Cameroon President Paul Baia is a putschist, Equatorial Guinea President Tidoro Obiang is a putschist, as well as Togolese President Ford Nassim. So, if they are truly concerned about coups in Africa, they should do something about these presidents for life. After hitting African presidents for life, Mamadi went on to give his reason why he organized a coup in Guinea. He stated that he led soldiers in Guinea to depose then-President Alpha Konde in the September 2021 coup to prevent the country from slipping into complete chaos. He then added that Guinea's situation was the same in other countries, hit by coups such as Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger. And those coups were as a result of broken promises, the lethargy of the people, and leaders tampering with constitutions with the sole concern of remaining in power to the detriment of collective well-being. Colonel Mamadi then went on to face the West. He told Western leaders that they should stop intervening in African political challenges and added that Africans are exhausted by the categorizations with which everyone wants to box us in. In his own words, we Africans are insulted by the boxes, the categories which sometimes place us under the influence of the Americans, sometimes under that of the British, the French, the Chinese, and the Turks. Honestly, we do not interfere in theirs, so why should they? Why can't they leave Africa alone and let Africans deal with Africa's problems? Indeed, true to Mamadi's words, Africans are exhausted by the interference of the West in their affairs. Like the president said, this exhaustion by the African people has made them to awaken more than ever before, and they are determined to take their destiny into their own hands. It is this reason why as the coups swept across West Africa, it was followed by anti-French sentiments and protests demanding the withdrawal of France. It is also for this reason that some African presidents like Ibrahim Tror of Burkina Faso, Julius Malema of South Africa, William Rudo of Kenya, and a couple of others are standing up and speaking boldly against the actions of the West during summits and gatherings of world leaders. While Guinea's president praised coups in his nation and elsewhere, questions remain about the efficiency of such military takeovers in fixing the problems that prompted them to intervene. While these questions are valid, attempts should also be made to bring to light the efforts made by the military junta to protect and develop their nations. For example, in Burkina Faso, Captain Ibrahim Tror has been making efforts to combat the terrorism problems and also to develop the country. If the West is truly interested in the problems of Africa, why don't they put their hands together and work with these military junta's who seem to care for their nations instead of condemning the coup and refusing to recognize their government? The fact is these military governments are here to stay, and if the West continues with the sane colonialist attitude towards Africa, anti-French sentiments would not be the only sentiment that will spread.

Hello, everybody. I'm Pranjal Sharma. Thank you for joining this very, very important session on measuring AI and data in the world of the fourth industrial revolution. We're going to be discussing with very four important stakeholders and talk about how can we ensure that the changes that we see in technology around the world can be measured for a larger good. Let me quickly introduce my panelists. Eric Brinkelson, Jerry Yang, and Akeko Yamazaki Professor, Director of Digital Economy Lab Stanford University, Minister Paola Pisano, Minister of Technological Innovation of Italy, Presidency of the Council of Ministers of Italy, Osrona, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Credit Suisse Group AG, and Urvashi Aneja, Founding Director at Tandem Research. The question that we are going to be looking at during this session is really about what can be done, how does the world benefit from technology, and to understand the benefits you have to be able to measure it. Now, a quick update on how we're going to be running this session. The first half is a public stream that all of you have joined, and in the second half, we will be going into a private discussion for those who have toppling access must stay on. Let me begin by getting right into the discussion, and I'll be updating you on other issues as we go along. Let me begin by requesting Eric for his thoughts. Eric, you've been doing a lot of work and research on measuring it, and you've also come up with a concept of GDPB, which is GDP benefits. In a short brief introductory point, if you can help us understand, what have you concluded with the research that you've done so far? Sure. Well, first off, thanks so much for bringing us all together. This is an incredibly important topic. We're in the middle of a big transition in the economy from goods and services mainly being made out of material things, out of atoms, to them being made out of information or bits. Unfortunately, as you suggested, Rangelo, the current measures, including GDP, are not very well designed for this world. Going back to Adam Smith, a lot of our economic principles are designed around a different economy and GDP, which was one of the great inventions of the 20th century in the 1930s by Simon Kuznetz and others has many strengths, but it's particularly bad at measuring the information economy. Let me give you an example of what I mean by that. If something has a zero price, it has essentially a zero weight in GDP, because GDP measures all the things that are bought and sold. But a lot of the value we get, we're now here on Zoom. A lot of us use Wikipedia or Search or all these apps that you can get on a phone. They have zero cost, but they still create a great deal of value. What we've done, as you noted, is create a new metric with my team at MIT, and here at the Stanford Digital Economy Lab, that we call GDPB, where the B stands for benefits. The idea is instead of measuring what it costs to buy something, and therefore it's contribution to GDP, and by the way, productivity is based on GDP, traditional productivity, we seek to measure the benefits. How much a consumer would be willing to pay if they had to to get that good? For instance, how much would I have to compensate you to stop having access to Zoom or start having access to Wikipedia or the different apps? That value is a measure of how important it is to any given consumer. If you sum up those values across all the different goods, both digital goods and non-digital goods, you get a measure of the size of these contributions to economic welfare. What we've found is that the digital economy is not surprisingly worth hundreds of billions, even trillions of dollars. If we have a better set of metrics, we're going to be better able to steer policy, to steer decision-making by CEOs, and understand better where the real source of the value and innovation are in our economy. I think that's a great point to move to Minister Visano. Policymakers, it's very important to minister to understand the impact of technology. Technology is not just about enterprise as we've seen, but governments across the world are now deploying technology for various civil society services, for benefit, welfare schemes, and also to measure the impact. How do you see and what are the efforts that are happening in the government in your example, for instance, to ensure that policymakers also have the right framework to be able to understand the benefits or the impact? Hi, hello, everybody, and thank you very much for the opportunity to speak here today. I think that some challenges may be achievable only through international cooperation. Multilateral discussion and initiative can serve as a turning point in achieving common standard. International cooperation can enable it only by an ounce to common value and mutually beneficial, although the advantage of cooperation is not always easy to reach a wider consensus. As government, we should create a framework of trust and knowledge so as to avoid crystallizing unnecessary resistance or fears around digital technologies. For instance, together with FAO, Microsoft, and IBM, we signed the wrong call for AI ethics that is an initiative promoted by the Pontifical Academy for Life, and this document contains a set of policy principles such as bias mitigation, transparency, inclusiveness, security, and privacy to guide the development of artificial intelligence algorithms. And we wish to take the opportunity of Davos' dialogue to invite other countries to join this call. Moreover, we are among the funding members of the global partnership of an artificial intelligence that JPEI, an emerging forum for international collaboration on AI, which is informed by the OECD AI policy principle, and promotes cross-pollination of OECD's policy discussion with experts from industry, civil society, academia, and governments. GDPI's experts are collaborating across five working groups. Teams, the first one is responsible AI, the second is AI and pandemics, the third is data governance, the fourth is the future of work, and finally innovation and commercialization. One last note, cooperation among countries require the engagement of citizens. Individual should be aware of where AI is used and applied, and if the technology is just for the elite, we think that it's a failure. So, towards this end, we introduce an online course, Elements of AI, an open source course, created by Finland, an adapter to the Italian language, aiming to provide the basic training elements for everyone who wants to deepen their knowledge of AI technologies. And to conclude, I think that international cooperation has its benefits, but it's a longer-term endeavor. Mr. Besaro, those are very, very relevant points, and I think it's very interesting that while we're discussing technology, words which are coming across our words like collaboration, citizens, governance, and I think that's what's going to be defining technology in the era of fourth industrial revolution. I'm going to come to you, Urs, about the role industry and business leaders have to play. And now the amount of data which is being generated across the world, almost every human activity, every transaction can now be captured. So, we are in some ways going to be flooded by data. The question then is how do you analyze it? Do we have the right structures? Do we train the right people on doing it? And again, in different sectors, the kind of data that emerges are very different. So, we need common standards and to be able to understand it in a way that there is a harmony in it. How do you see this evolving words, especially with your experience? Thanks, Pranjal. I think it's a very good question and I think the starting point would be that, you know, is really the question of the different types or the differences between types of data from distinct sectors and in varied contexts. And the answer would be yes, there was differences, I would say. I think you're getting a little bit lazy about how you refer to data, often describing it as fungible. It really isn't. Data is an ecosystem of subtypes. And this is not just a question of, I would say structured versus unstructured data. There are these differences in volume, sensitivity, entropy, in other words, how long a data remains relevant or not, and value to name just a few categories. Give you an example from my industry, from the financial service or banking industry. In banking, for example, we deal with a range of sensitive financial information that identifies our clients. We have to treat this with great care because our clients and our regulators expect this of us. I mean, it may even be a legal obligation to do so. I'm the chairman of a Swiss bank. Can you expect me to take this very seriously? And I do, so does my bank. And yet not even this data is a simple matter. Some is only sensitive in context. Give you an example, in other words, the data may be separated out in such a way that it makes it much more usable without intruding on our clients' privacy in any way. And there are other ways of sanitizing or anonymizing data to make them available for data analytical work that could never be carried out on the source information. And from a regulatory point of view, sometimes we are compelled to provide this kind of data without being able to identify, for instance, the client behind it, for purposes of regulatory oversight. So the same kind of data can have completely different shapes and forms and be used for different purposes. And the field of privacy-preserving data analytics is one we ought to all be paying attention to. It allows us to both protect the privacy of data that requires it as well as to make proper use of it and build our businesses to give just one example. And for another, I would expect this soon to be able to give very strong guarantees about the privacy of individual medical records and yet to make, on the other hand, extensive use of the information in those records to promote better healthcare for all of us. So I think that's something which we have to grapple with, which on the one hand I'm sure governments will have to deal with it. On the other hand, I think if you look at research in the pharmaceutical field, for instance, it's absolutely crucial that you get to as much data as you possibly can in order to promote better healthcare. So those are the challenges I see, I think also from an industry point of view, and it differs vastly. So collaboration is not just between industry and government, but also it's within industry because now the walls between sectors are also collapsing. So financial technologies basically means both telecom and finance are together. So how do you make sure that the old structures are changed and new ones are put? But this also brings me to the other point about the gap between perhaps at least the perceived gap between developed and developing economies. What I think is fascinating about the fourth industrial revolution is that the technologies are far more egalitarian. You don't have to get into issues of technology transfer. So the developed world doesn't have to sell to the developing world, but everybody can solve for themselves to a large extent using data and AI and such technologies. Urvachi, in your point of view, if you look at civil society, especially in emerging markets, how can this measurement make life better for policy makers? How do you ensure that can we perhaps then target welfare activities in a better way? Or do you see that the challenges in developing markets, emerging markets will be distinct from the others? Anjali, thanks to the organizers for inviting me here. It's great to have the opportunity to discuss this really important issue with all of you. Let me start by maybe pointing out something that one of my historian friends often reminds me that the fourth industrial revolution is probably the only revolution that has named itself before it even really started, or that has named itself in its infancy. Most revolutions are named in hindsight, not at their beginning. So I think, and that's obviously, I mean, at likely, but I think that also points to something, right? That to some extent, the fourth industrial revolution is also a vision. It's an agenda, it's a narrative. So we need to ask who is promoting it, who benefits from it, and who are the losers of this narrative, right? And revolutions, if we think of this idea of revolution, typically reorganized political, social, economic relations, right? They redistribute power. And the way I see it, the fourth industrial revolution in its current form is not resulting in a redistribution of power. In fact, the growth of the AI industry, as we see it today, is predicated on the concentration of power with a select few actors, and is in fact accentuating that concentration of power. So to me, to go back to the metrics question, that's a really important metric that we need to think about. So alongside GDP, we also need to think about the distribution of technology gains, the distribution of power in the context of the fourth industrial revolution. That's particularly important from a developing country context. So I think in many countries in Europe, particularly, we see risk-based approaches to regulating AI, right? And I think risk-based approaches work well for fueling innovation. But if you look at what's happening in the global South, AI and other emerging digital technologies are not just fueling innovation, they're a critical part of the development story of these countries, right? They're supposed to be enabling developing countries to navigate complex socioeconomic challenges. So if they're part of the development story, then I think a risk-based approach is gonna fall short in being able to achieve some of those development outcomes. So with that kind of, with that in mind, I think some of the other metrics that we need to introduce into this conversation from a developing country perspective, particularly, one, it was the distribution of gains that I already mentioned. I think the second is around the impact on individual rights. Privacy here I think is a really good example. We don't have time in this conversation, obviously, but I would love to know another point on what privacy-protecting data for an example is and how we get there, but because the current kind of frameworks around anonymization and consent don't quite seem to be fit for purpose. I think we also need to think about structural impacts and harms. So for an example, what is the impact from marginalized communities to be able to access opportunities? How does state-society relationship change? What does it mean for the accountability of the state? I think we also need to think about the environmental impact. That's something that doesn't get discussed enough in some of these conversations. So training a sophisticated AI model for an example, apparently pumps in five times more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than an automobile in its entire lifespan, including manufacturing, right? So we have to include these additional metrics if we're not thinking about AI, particularly in a developing country context, because it's not just innovation that's at stake, but it's the development trajectories of these countries that are at stake. That's a great point, Roshan. And I'm going to take this to Eric. Eric, in one of your papers, you also very rightly said that there are optimists on one side and pessimists on the other. And the optimists are the investors and the technologists and the pessimists are possibly the policymakers and the civil society. And you see a little bit of the reflection on what Roshan just said. I think getting some kind of a harmony in the way technology is measured, is missing. And that's what we heard from us and we heard from Minister Pisano as well. Is there, do we have to create a completely new model for this in terms of doing it at a global multilateral level or does each country have to go and create its own? Well, I want to underscore what Orvashi said. I think, and what you're saying, there are optimists, there are pessimists, but I think that both of them make the same mistake, which is that they often think that something's just going to happen and that the rest of the world or the technology is going to either turn out good or badly. Really the core is our agency. And I don't know that it's so much a matter of a new model as being in a line with our values. We have more powerful tools now than we've ever had before, which means if we want to, we can shape the world more than we did in the past. And frankly, we haven't been choosing to shape it in a way that leads to more equitable distribution for most of the past 20 to 30 years. The economic pie has been getting bigger. Technology is creating enormous amounts of wealth, more millionaires and billionaires than ever in history, but there's no economic law that says that that's going to benefit everybody or even benefit most people. I want to be clear that for most of history, it has been broadly beneficial, but for the past 20 years, a lot of people have been left behind. And I don't think that, I don't blame that on the technology or any particular model. I don't blame that on some choices that were made by governments, on tax policy and other things, some choices that were made by CEOs and a lot of other people. And if we choose to, we can actually have a much more equitable distribution. I think, as Rubashi said, the digital technologies, some people talk about the fourth industrial revolution have the potential to have much more widely shared benefits. Digital goods have some three characteristics that are not common to goods made of atoms, as I was describing earlier, they're free, perfect and instant. They can be made at zero marginal cost. Each copy is an exact identical replica, perfect replica of the others. They can be instantly transmitted anywhere on the globe. So most of these digital goods could be available to everybody at almost zero cost broadly. It doesn't necessarily go, automatically happen that way. In many cases, these goods have led to more winter take, all markets, more concentration of wealth and power. But those are some design choices that we have, with that many people have made and policies and intellectual property and elsewhere that we've made. But it's certainly not the only way to organize things. So I'm glad that the World Economic Forum is bringing attention to this. And I think hopefully many of the people listening to this will think a little bit about not just how we create more wealth, but also what kind of, how we want to use these amazing digital technologies to create broadly shared prosperity. Let me go back once again. I said, if you look at the access, I can tell you for India alone, we have about 750 million people who are now connected to the internet. So we call it digital inclusion. And a lot of them, at least 30 to 40% are first time users. So for them, the concept of privacy and data et cetera don't exist because they're just so happy to be part of the mainstream that they don't even realize what they're giving away to receive what they get. But this is why, Minister Pisano, I want to come to you. We've had a very interesting report on global governance and technology recently. And while there are divides within countries, between countries, the question then is, what kind of global governance can come? Europe has done a great thing by setting the benchmark with GDPR, but technology companies who have a lot of power are saying that, well, we'll behave differently in Europe, but we'll behave differently in Africa or in Asia or in the Americas. How do we get the world together on a common global governance framework? Yes. I think that government should ensure that data governance and decision-making processes follow a sound approach by assessing constraints, risk and rules, and surrounding data sharing, collection and use. We can play a major role to ensure criteria such as fairness, safety, robustness, respect for human rights. We recently launched the National Digital Data Platform that is a single platform to which individual administrations can communicate and share data and APIs in a free and easy and open way. That's allowing the creation of new services and data application tailored on the needs of citizens while fully compliant to privacy and security regulations. The data platform offers a common access to data and makes the transfer of information and data on different parts of government more efficient, transparent and less costly in order to achieve public sector productivity gains and more effective service delivery. Intelligent data collection and data analysis have been crucial during the present COVID-19 epidemic which has been at the same time an accelerator for digital technologies but a disruptor for our way of life. We experienced major challenges, vertical silos in public administrations made this cooperation among levels of government quite difficult and coordination and data sharing is not an easy task even within the same country. So the international coordination of these issues is even more complex. I think that data flow is the lifeblood of the digital economy. It is a key requirement of the development of AI solutions but both trust and privacy are the key component. The discussion is not an easy one and it has been so for a few years. And I think that there is a legitimate reluctance to share data but also an unwarranted tendency to restrict data flows internationally. To help overcome ethical and legal barriers international organization like WF or OECD are important partners. And the WG on data governance of the JPI Global Partnership of AI has developed the interesting idea on includes recommendations to announce international cooperation on data and providing a more project-based direction. These conversations can all help governments to get a better understanding of the reasons for which the barriers exist so that it will be easy to converge. Right, thank you minister. We have about five or six minutes left. So I'd like to request both the earth and we'll worship for your quick statements in the next few minutes left. Earth, the question is now also about power of concentration of power. There was a while when everybody thought that the old power rested in the global banking and financial companies what looks like you have competition. And now all the power has shifted to the technology giants of the world in terms of being the most influential. What is the responsibility of the industry and business leaders to ensure that we are able to use data AI in a more responsible way for a logical. Obviously that's a very big question which obviously is difficult to answer in just one minute. Obviously I think that the issues or the priorities for let's say for the industry shouldn't be vastly different from what governments have said. I mean we have an interest that data flows are harmonized for obvious reasons because it creates a lot of value if it happens and it creates a lot of these synergies or a lot of costs if it doesn't. I mean, give you one example of the ongoing discussions between United Kingdom and the European Union about data adequacy alone would cost roughly over a billion a year just in terms of additional costs that they just totally unnecessary. I think the other thing is we have to be cognizant of the fact that data and flows may post challenges that have to be overcome. I give you one example. For instance, on the GDPR individuals have a right to be forgotten. And on the other hand, there are often anti-money laundering obligations on banks for instance to keep exactly the same data for good because you want to be able to make sure that you can fulfill your obligations there. And if I can use that angle a bit for the industries and this is true for the large technology firms as much as it is for banks or financial services companies I think we have to see that we have sort of a common level playing field in terms of what we do with regard to data protection, data security as well. And then the rest I think will be done by the industries themselves. They have to change. Obviously banks have vastly changed in the last 10 years and will continue to change over the next five to 10 years significantly in terms of how they look, what they do, how they do it, why? Because they got disrupted. They got, let's say, the challenge from technology firms be it smaller or larger technology firms. And this is a trend that will continue in the end. I think that's helpful for society at large but we need to be sure that we address the issues. We address the issues of how we run data but also how we protect data. And that's something which I think is still an answer to a large extent. I wish you the point about preparing civil society for this is also important. While there's a responsibility on the government and the private sector, I think there's a crying need for awareness on the importance of data and value did talk about the concerns. Is there now a crying need for us to ensure that those who are joining the digital mainstream across the world should be made aware of what their responsibilities are and what the risks are? Yeah, I mean, I think just very quickly to totally echo what Eric was saying, right? If we do have agency and public policy has a really important role to play in steering technology trajectories to align with societal goals. I think the civil society capacity point is really, really important. So if you look at some of the conversations around AI, one of the things that we ask of in terms of responsible AI is that it should be transparent, right? That's one of the values that we hold here. But the flip side of transparency is actually expertise. You need to have someone who has the expertise to be able to evaluate that transparency in a meaningful way. And if you don't have that expertise in civil society, that transparency will not achieve what you hope for it to achieve, right? So ensuring that we're investing in civil society to exercise and influence that agency that Eric is talking about is really, really important.


I'm kicking off today's episode on a bit of a somber note. A cosplayer by the name of Matty Moore, or a ditzy rose on Twitter, has unfortunately passed away. He was rushed into emergency surgery, he was in hospital for insomnia and anxiety reasons, and the more I scrolled, it was horrific. I didn't know Matty personally, or even professionally. I didn't know about his cosplay until the news came out. But seeing so many other cosplayers and creators singing his praises when the news came out saying, oh my god, I knew him and he was amazing, and such a lovely person, it just made it all the more heartbreaking. Again, I didn't know him, but from what I have heard about him, it's exactly what the community show is about. Amazing people in this community, so there's not much I know what to do here. There's not much that can be done, unfortunately, but this episode is dedicated to Matty Moore. On with the show. Hello, and welcome to episode 12 of the community show. We are at the second to last episode. I know there's only two episodes left. Why must life be so cruel? But sadness aside, let's catch up. Firstly, I know who I'm interviewing. It is the lovely Conor Atkins, the artist who you might recognise from certain Phantom films events, and pieces like... Where did I put it? Well, I did have his McCoy piece. I think I've stored it somewhere. We've had this booked in for about two months, so it's good to finally get round to it. It's a shame it's not in person, but what can you do? Next, I met up with the fabulous Katie Haynes. So that was fun. She was in London for a good few weeks. She messaged me asking if we wanted to meet up, and yes, me and Abby Louise, aka Abby of Truck, and headed up, took some pictures, did a funny video or two. Most of them are on their TikToks, as I don't do a lot of TikToks. We spent a solid like six hours together. It was busy, but it was really fun. Katie is an absolute delight, as is her boyfriend. And yeah, terrific. If you don't already follow Katie on social medias and stuff, go seek her out, because it's absolute delight. And yes, of course, I cosplayed up. She cosplayed up. I had to cosplay up. It was... Come on now. Speaking of that Katie Haynes trip, I offhandedly mentioned that I would love to go to the Who Shop one day, which is sort of not central London, but it's in London. And Katie and her boyfriend happened to already have been there and spoken extensively with the owners, and so, as soon as I said that, they were like, okay, we're going there. And I said, ah, okay. So we went there, and it was amazing. I bought the Abby Shot celery pin for my Peter Davidson, which I've been wanting to get for ages now, so I finally have that. And now I can run twice as fast, because I have a fake bit of celery that cost me far too much. The strange choices I've made because of this dubbed show. Mustache. And because Katie's just so nice, she actually bought me a ticket to the museum behind the shop where they store a bunch of original, originally used in the show, costumes and props. And oh my God, dude, the owners were so kind in giving us a tour. I don't know how many we pay for it, but oh my God, thank you, Katie, for that. That was an incredible... And if you haven't been to the Who Shop, please go. Here's the address. Here's the online... And there's also a link to the online store below. Check them out. It's absolutely incredible. They've been going for like 40 years, and they still have a shop front. Katie also happened to do an advert for the Who Shop, so I've emailed asking if they want to, you know, you know, they want to do something with us, you know what I'm saying? You know? And then before we get onto the show, the Whovians Choice Awards is something I am doing. If you didn't see the video I put out last week, I'm very excited for it. The link to that is also at the top of the description. Essentially it's voting for your favourite audio production, fan film, or what have you, actor, actress, artist, cosplayers, from this year. So if you want to get involved, if you have people you want to nominate, do that. Follow the link below. And without further ado, let's go on to episode 12. Oh, this is going to be a deep and introspective one. No, it's not. It's business as usual, just in a new coat. We are kicking off the fan film segment with something I don't often get to see. A fifth doctor fan film. I don't see a lot of fifth doctor fan films. I like seeing new things. This one is a Halloween special, so I'm a couple weeks late, but that's okay. It is called The Entity of Halloween by Nicky Boy Crow and here's a little clip. And finally in the fan film section, I know it's sad to see just two in the fan film segment. Sorry, I nearly broke my light trying to lean on it casually. Procession by the ever-talented 3D Doctor Who. Is there nothing he can't do? Probably Cybermen. I challenge you. But I mean, his talent speaks for itself. I'm not going to show a clip for this one though, because the visuals are enough here. Moving on, you've got to check it out yourself. Next! Audio. What are they doing? Those cheeky audios. What do they think they are? Big finish? That's terrible. You don't have official license? Go to prison. Firstly, there's a Torchwood audio series called Day One. Torchwood Season One. Episode One. A lot of ones. This is by Gore Mako and it gets me excited because it's got the Zygons in it. I do like the Zygons, but why were they the sort of main threat in Day of the Doctor? I know they were technically the B-plot, but the fact they were in it as much as they were confuses me. But yes, go and check this out. Give it a listen. Here's a little. Peter and Lydia. Next, there is The Candy Factory by Gore Mak again. How did I miss that? Well, either way, this is a Doctor Who thing, not a Torchwood thing, so you get this one. Nearly broke my glasses doing that. Not going to spend too long on this one, because I already shouted you out. Gore Mak, you cheeky cheeky boy. Or girl. Clip. Look, it's coming to the end of a series, man. I'm a tired boy. I've got a lot. I'm very busy. Gore Mak, it is good, though, from what I hear. I haven't listened to the whole of this one, but it sounds pretty good. Here's a clip. It's magnificent. Who can take the sunrise? Sprinkle it with dew. Okay, then. Should we just go to wherever the factory is to keep this little plot moving? Aw, but this is fascinating. What a good song, too. Well, we can always hear it on DVD. Next is something I was quite excited to show to, and I feel like I should be in an impression to talk about it. It's not an audio production per se, but it is a podcast, a brand new podcast. Brought to you by Chris Walker-Thompson, the famous impersonator. He's probably famous. I knew him, so he's probably well known. It is the more than just an impression podcast where he brings on other impressionists and has a nice little chat. And his first guest is the incredible Jonathan Carly, who is doing work for a big finish as the war doctor. And any Doctor Who fan will get super excited at the fact that episode two will have John Colshaw, a very popular Doctor impressionist and generally an impressionist. He did a very good Ricky Gervais once. But yes, go and check this podcast out. It's a great meeting of the minds or really meeting of the vocal cords. They really did, they really did sort of coach you towards before the recording. Which is, as far as I'm aware, is unheard of. Because these stepping stones going from that Zoom chat with Nick Briggs to the audition to that workshop. He was like, thinking at each stage, have I blown it, have I blown it? And then his next bread crumb coming along. I think, okay, that's not bad news. So I'll just go on. And then we went from, a couple of days went past after the workshop. And then they said, we're going to go and record a box set. And finally, friends of the show, Spectral Horizons have a new audio adventure trailer out for The Trion's Mind. The Trion's Mind? I'm not a fifth Doctor fan. Sound the alarm, chuck at an opinion. But jokes and japs aside, Spectral Horizons has made it clear that quality is their passion and anything that's not got good quality in it, it shall be burned alive. Excellent trailer. And definitely worth checking out. And also check out the rest of Spectral Horizons catalogue. It is, we can stop it. I promise you. Stop it. Done. Is he dead? Then? I can assure you it's sound choice. Who's to say you're not twisting everything you say? The Trion's Mind by the oncoming rainbow. That's the audio section done. Let's move on to the next section. Hello, I'm William Hartnell. And welcome to my Minecraft Let's Play. Let's see, William Henry Hartnell. It's my world chosen to be up to this idea, you see. And, well, I think it's rather good. I've got a lot of personality I'd like to get out into the world. Oh, let's please. I'm going to be the next PewDiePie or multiplayer. God, this hasn't got the best computer, so you may have to bear with me as everything lures around me. Oh, no, come on. I've got places to be, you know. Chumbly is to save. Ah, perfect. There we go. This is Bill Hartnell's world. Sure, I see a lot of trees. This is good. I'll be the barren wasteland of Scott, are we eating this? You know, they could have just been a little rocky from there. That's all I'm saying. There, just a few gave me one tip and that's to beat wood. Now, I'm not entirely sure if he was joking, but let's, let's find out. Punch, punch, punch, punch the wood.  Well, I've gotten some wood. That's, that's good. Um, sir, let me just span some, some buttons here. So, what does that mean? There's span some, some buttons here. Oh, Oh, who's that handsome chap? I quite like him. Time and time, Lord. I figured out how to time travel more or less. I can figure out a silly little computer game. So, I've got some, okay, so I've got some blanks, a little pond, a little pond. There's no ducks in this pond. Sorry, I think I just had a flash from a future incarnation. Duck. That's all out. Now, Chesterfield also gave me one other bit of advice that is to go straight down. There is no staircase or elevator or lift if you're American or British. So, I just have to dig straight down. We just start here and we'll see how we go. I think Chesterfield was kidding that time. Oh, and Barbara gave me a lovely little bit of advice that is to go into the ocean. Right? And we're going to go in here. Oh, look at some fishes. And the fun thing is there's a video game. If you don't have to breathe, you can just be under here for really forever. And whereas there is no problem, there's a little fish. Oh, that is adorable. Oh, I'm going to sweeten this. No, no, no. What's happening? I'm losing some hearts. If I go deeper, deep up at, no, oh goodness. Oh, no. No. Andy Druze. I've known about Andy Druze for a while and he happened to do some commissions of these cool battles in time esk cards. And of course I got one of my own. Why wouldn't I? And I love it. I love it. I think I saw his Rory Dobson one first that he did for, you know, the little boy. The dress is like a Dalek. I've interviewed him in the past. He's awesome. So I was like, I want one of those. And so I got one. Love it, Andy Druze. Top of the class. A star. Next, there is Cosmic Shine. And I have no idea which one to pick from because they're all awesome. If there's a 12th Doctor One, I'll slap it on there because I've scrolled through all of them. You know, sometimes it's easy to find the one that sort of stands above the rest.  So I've just picked a 12th Doctor One, presumably. But I mean, what needs to be said, they're all amazing. Like the comic cover ones incredible blows my mind.  Terrific. Send help. I've clearly gone insane. Also known as Tiff, who did this piece with 12 and I love it. Hi. How you doing? I'm perfectly fine. Thank you. Well, it's an absolute pleasure to to meet you really for the second time as we have bumped into each other at a Phantom's event. Yes, definitely. And again, thank you very much for the compliments on my artwork at the time. It goes without saying I can see one of my favourites to the side there. And it's absolutely phenomenal. Phenomenal to detail in it. How did you get started doing art? It kind of started towards the end of my last year of sixth form, which was for the recorders in 2014. I've been studying art really in both due to C and in my A levels. And I really hadn't thought of a particular route that I wanted to go down, really. In April of 2014, 10 planet events, which unfortunately isn't, which was a silent company that is no longer with us, unfortunately, they were holding an event in Barking. And one of the guests they had was Colin Baker.  And because he might like it. Okay. And in about four hours, I did a very quick black and white picture of Colin Baker, which I've got right here, actually. Convenient. Which is this one? Oh, yeah, just a very quick, just sort of smacking it out. Yeah, four hours, Bosch. It was four hours. I timed it. I've been doing that sort of thing from then on. And to further expand on what on on this type of artwork as to why I do what I do for the record, before I go into go ahead and say anything that anything that might offend anyone. I absolutely respect any and all type form types of our but this is just from my personal perspective. I remember watching a you know, those time lapse videos where you see speed runs of where you started a picture and what the final product would end up looking like. I saw that and there was a gentleman, I can't remember what the name of the channel is, but he used multiple tools he did. So it was watercolor, pencil, oil paint, airbrush, all sorts of stuff like that. And what he came up with this absolutely beautiful picture, believe it or not, I believe it was just a Nutella believe it or not. And I saw that. I thought to myself, I love what he's doing. But is it not possible to draw that just draw something like that, but just by using one medium, I resolved myself to thinking, yes, I'm pretty sure you can. And so I've essentially done this primarily out of where I started from in terms of what under circumstances, me going to meet Colin Baker, but also out of partly out of stubbornness really. You've set yourself a challenge. Yeah, I've been adamant of sticking to my own one set of tools, which for the record, it's all in pencil for those watching. How many pencils do you own? Because the amount of different shades and different colors you'd need for just that piece alone. My main set of tools right here. So for the record for what I use, it's Derwent, well, they're called fine art pencils. On the sides of them, they actually say, if I just pull this up to the camera, so it says Derwent color soft. It's like show and tell. I've seen pretty much all of your pieces at this point. And, you know, I see the Madame de Pompadour and Colin Baker specifically. And I have to wonder, what's been the trickiest so far? Because they're, my goodness. Okay, I've got three. Madame de Pompadour was hard because of the detail in that dress. That was so tricky. And the other two are Peter Capaldi, one of monsters being the foretold and the Fisher King. The thing is that I just like setting myself a challenge, really.  You know, I did it for a good while and then I sort of tape it out. And one thing I always struggled with was not necessarily the clothes or sort of the body. It was always the face. Would you say that's sort of a common hurdle? Honestly, because I take my stuff to conventions and I sell them, I want it to look like the person I intended to look like. So I get that. Again, I just really want to get people's faces correct down correctly. So it's just a case of looking at the, because I've got the image in front of me I have and I'm looking back and forth constantly thinking, maybe I just need to adjust that a little bit just to get it right. Maybe rub that back a little bit. I've got two good rules I should mention regarding my artwork. The harder something is, the more likely I am to enjoy myself. And no matter the circumstance, whoever your favourite character is, they are going to be the hardest in regards to the work. Circling back to the fandom events, for example, how did you get started doing conventions and selling your artwork? I didn't start going to conventions until 2013. I just started drawing and just A4 pictures of each person I was going to meet really when I went to events, as was shown in that book I just pulled up. Eventually, I did catch the eyes of the 10th Planet company and just said, just have something a bit different. At one point, they put my artwork out for fans to get signed in front of the desks. I wasn't being paid for it, but at the time I really didn't mind really. Eventually, 10th Planet closes doors to doing signings. They've still got an online shop for the record. I eventually ventured over to Phantom, who again, chatted to Dex and Paul by the way, who are the owners of Phantom events. I first of all started going to the signings and I started catching the crew's attention really with my artwork and also another item which I typically get signed at the events. Eventually, my mum came along with me. She became part of the crew. It took a bit of convincing to get me to do something because I was a bit skeptical about a couple of things such as copyrighting or not, but I did eventually have my first stall in Pandorica of 2019. August signing, if I remember rightly, and a fan had come up to me because I was on the front table, not selling my prints but I was selling pictures for the signing. He said to me, when are you going to draw a picture of Douglas Campbell as the doctor? I said to him, if I'm going to draw Douglas Campbell, I'd rather draw him as a director with all the stories that he's responsible for directing. After he left, it just so happened that Dex was sat next to me when that happened. So Dex then said to me, how long does it take you to generally draw something? I said, it entirely depends on what I've got to draw. He said to me, do you want to draw the new front cover for the re-release of Douglas Campbell's biography? So naturally, I said yes. Well, you would. Douglas Campbell is my favourite director of Doctor Who, so... I mean, that's got to feel, you've got to feel pretty proud about that. I was on a high in 2020. I was absolutely enjoying myself in that year. Speaking of your fabulous artwork, perhaps a more standard question, but do you have a favourite so far that you've done? I refuse to answer that question and I'll explain why.  Could you answer that question? Yeah, I think I completely understand your point.  Finally, if people were wanting to find your artwork around, if they wanted a piece for yourself, I've said multiple occasions as soon as I get the money that I want that heaven sent one. Where would people go to look? At the moment, I'm only selling events at the moment. This is unfortunately a small issue with these that I'm going to use the Doctor Who story as an example, which is Nicola Tesla's Night of Terrorist. Tesla was a genius, but he wasn't a businessman like Thomas Edison was, so he was more in it for the science than he was in for the money. So at the moment, I'm only doing events at the moment. I'm not tweeting this out here or anything, but I'm only planning on doing four events next year. If you want to get a piece of artwork off of me, the events you would be best to catch me at are Benford Hoocon, Hooverville, Utopia, and Pandorica.  But if you want to hear a brilliant story about Tom Baker asking for his address, as well as Colin Baker being his professional hype man, go check out the full interview. Trust me, it is hilarious. Thank you so much for coming on the show, Connor. It's been an absolute pleasure chatting away to you. It was well, Jack. And again, for the record, this is being recorded after Pandorica 2021, and you've already tweeted out your poll for best actor or drama. I'm not voting because technically I am eligible for one of them. I am, so I'm going to keep myself out of that. But yeah, good luck to all of the Doctor Who community. Very well done for the year. You've made 2021 a much more bearable time. Some ideas are good and some ideas are bad. Let's find out which one this is. I am going to take a piece of costume from every single Doctor, one to 13, not more Doctor Roger Martin, sorry. And we're going to see how they look combined. Do you like this shirt, by the way? It's from the Doctor Who poop store. Available now. It's also created by Bo. We all love Bo.  A nice, white shirt because why not? Honestly, do you have a reason why not? Keep it to yourself. I'm going to be so hot after this. So, first one. First Doctor is the best thing he ever wore, the wig. And I have actually a screen accurate. First Doctor wig. Look, it's exactly the one he wore. Number two. Mr. Trouton is his bow tie. A nice, a nice small velcro, dicky bow. I don't know how to tie a bow tie, but then again, does anyone? Already, I can tell this is a good idea. Number three. Mr. Pertwee, I have chosen his red jacket. Oh, I like this jacket. Hello, cosplay. Fresh. I'll leave it undone for now. I have the new James Bond. I have gone for his abby shot, painter's pin lapel. I got this recently. I'll leave it here and I'll save it for the end because I don't know how many layers I'll be wearing. Number five. I've gone for the obvious. His jump part. Here we go. Oh, we're cooking now, boys. Oh, literally. Oh, this is stylish. This is going to be on fashion runway. Number six. Yellow trousers. I should add lines to these. Excuse me a moment. Trousers. Number seven. I've gone for his hat. Why the addition of that just makes it even funnier. How do you do? I'm on my way to croquet balls. Number eight. I've gone for his cravat from the TV movie. I'm already wearing a bow tie.  No, that's terrible.  So why don't I have a cravat sticking out of mine? There you go. That's a bit better. That's less like a willy. Number nine. I've chosen. Oh, I've chosen his boots. Oh, I'm gonna have to sit down for this.  And here's me doing this. You know, sometimes you have to just, you have to wonder your place in the universe and wondering what you're doing to contribute to society.  Boots on. Oh, I feel taller. Number 10. I've gone for his tie, his day of the doctor tie. There we go. So I've got cravat this side, tie this side. Excellent. Number 11. We're nearly there. Gone for his braces. So Jack is going to have to come off again. There's one at the back that just doesn't like to stay fastened. Here we go. That's all they've it's a bit skew if that whatever. Oh, yeah. 12 glasses. Oh, yeah. How you doing? And then finally for number 13. It's run out of battery. Oh, wait, the pin. I can't see. Oh, nearly stabbed myself in the finger. Oh, that's fully bent. Oops. Oh, wait, no. Russell T. Davis has cast me as number 14 in the next series. And this is what you've got. Cosplay, cosplay, cosplay, cosplay, cosplay, cosplay. Cosplay. First up is a name I'm not sure how to pronounce. So this will go well. The Talanove 98. That's terrible. It's here. He's a Matt Smith cosplayer who manages to edit himself into the backgrounds. How? What? Seriously? Also look at that hair. Come on now. Come on. It's so good. He happened to pop up on my Instagram feed and he's well worth a follow. Go and follow him. It's amazing. Next is one I can pronounce cosplayer Tiff. She cosplays a smattering of doctors as well as Rose Tyler among others and just seems like she's having an absolute ball with it. And that's the kind of creators I like. The people who are clearly just having fun hellier can relate. Hashtag relatable.  Well, I say story, it's it's barely an anecdote. There is a 13th doctor cosplayer here, Ann, as well as a Yasmin Khan cosplayer, Lana. They both followed me at the exact same time and their profile pictures were remarkably similar and I thought that was really funny. And so I messaged both of them being like, oh, do you want to be featured in the community show? And they were like, yeah, by the way, we are we are dating with girlfriends. And I was like, oh, that makes more sense. That's coincidence finding me at the same time. No, they're dating. Okay, it makes perfect sense. But they both look absolutely incredible, makes for quite the duo. Go and give them both a follow. They look wicked. Also, Flux. Hey, at Flux, maybe could you not? Me and Yas were going about the universe having some fun. I was looking for a dog, man. It's no big deal. Coventy's the best boy. I love him. We even had a nice bedspread laid out. Don't ask me why. It's my personal business. But then all of a sudden this fart came out of nowhere and started ruining my day and ruining the time stream, ruining space. And then I'm looking into mirrors and I've seen a completely different person.   I've only watched up to episode two as this goes out, as I'm filming this rather. I wasn't too big on the episode one, mainly because it's a lot of setup. It doesn't really work. Offensive plane. Doesn't really work with the, without the context of the rest, in my opinion. Episode two slapped. War of the Sontarans. More Sontarans, please. It was so good. Also, I didn't like Dan at first, but with the double act of him and Carven Easter, I love him in War and War. He's just a lovable dumbass, isn't he? What's the point in being alive? Love you, John Bishop. You strange man. I can't see without the sunglasses now. There we go. I'm blind. But yes, Ann and Lana. Excellent duo cosplayers. Moving on to the next thing. I hate to see you go, but I love to watch you leave. We are at the end of episode 12, and I look very white. My God, I should turn the exposure down. Is that better? I'm just going to assume that's better. Other promotions. Firstly, I don't know whether to count this, but I thought it looked cool. Inside of Blackpool posted this of their light-up Dalek and TARDIS display. And yeah, if you're in Blackpool, go check this out. I think my mum and my sister actually went and had a look, and they made me very jealous. Then there is Mr TARDIS doing a charity live stream on November 23rd from, I believe it is, 9am to 9pm. So a good old 12 hours. He has dubbed it the 1963 live stream, and he has a lot of exciting stuff planned, and I know he's going to be bringing guests on. I have asked him if I, if he wants me, haven't heard back yet. He must hate me. It is for the film and TV charity, which I know is near and dear to his heart as he's in the industry, and he's obviously a big fan of the industry. He reviews stuff. One doesn't really exist without the other. So go to his channel on the 23rd of November and make sure you do your bit and give some money to the charity. I know I will be. I don't know how much yet. Depends. I mean, it's Christmas time. I'm spending a lot of money, but I know I always make time and money for charity, as should you. So do the thing. Next is Who Game Shows. I've shouted out a couple of times before, and they've given me an exclusive trailer to show off. So why the hell am I talking? Cut to that. This Christmas on Who Game Shows. Daft Punk hosts as money flies. The weakest link. It disconnects. Is that better? Your USB, nor your arms. Who wants to be a millionaire? In an epic two parter. Over 400 pounds one. Who will reign victorious? Not 100% sure. Find out this Christmas on Who Game Shows when good men go to war. I love it when I get exclusives. It's big for the ego. And that little bit at the end, a Jack Reaves exclusive. Hilarious. Finally, on the theme of charity, for Mr. TARDIS, there is a charity book. I shouldn't talk much about it. I'll just show you a few of the preview pages that I was sent. It is called Tales of Time, and it looks like it's going to be absolutely terrific. I will certainly be buying one myself. Thank you to the guy who sent it my way. I always try to make time for stuff like this, and yeah, go and check it out. And with that, that ends episode 12. We've only got one episode to go of the year. It's going to be an exciting time. I'll see you in episode 13. Bye-bye. Get to click below and subscribe to the official Jack Reaves YouTube channel.
