The Information Entropy Podcast

Welcome back to The Information Entropy Podcast! This week the boys finish their exploration of extinction, managing to stay much more on topic! The boys start by contemplating the Hantavirus outbreak in relation to previous circumstances before quickly recapping what classifies as extinction. They turn to the topic of conservation strategies and how they can help and how sometimes they might be misaligned. Mitch explores the leading causes of extinction while Tom reinforces the biological mechanisms at play within a declining population.

Welcome back to The Information Entropy Podcast! This week Tom is back and the boys are aiming to cover the topic of extinction! You will see that this is a meandering topic of cybersecurity, AI, extinction, and a section on Magic at the very end. While on topic, we find out what actually counts as extinction and how the IUCN defines and declares a species as extinct, we hear about the story of the last Thylacine, and going back in geological history we explore the big five mass extinction events.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming cybersecurity—but not always in the ways headlines suggest.

In this episode, we explore the concept of “Claude Mythos,” a purported frontier AI system linked to advanced vulnerability discovery, and unpack what it represents in the broader evolution of cyber defence and offense. From traditional scanning tools to agentic AI capable of iterative reasoning, we examine how these systems are reshaping the way vulnerabilities are found, understood, and potentially exploited.

 

Is this the beginning of autonomous cyber threats—or just the next step in smarter security tooling?

Listen now and decide for yourself.

In Part 3 of our Artemis series, we take a step back from the rockets and hardware to look at the bigger picture. This solo episode explores what the Artemis program really means, not just for space exploration, but for the future of humanity.

From building a sustainable presence on the Moon to laying the groundwork for missions to Mars, Artemis represents a fundamental shift from exploration to expansion. But why go back to the Moon at all, and what makes this time different from Apollo?

Follow the podcast for more deep dives into science, space, and the future, and share the episode if you are ready for humanity’s next giant leap.

Welcome back to The Information Entropy Podcast! This week we are continuing our exploration into the history of space travel and the Artemis 2 mission, with many 100% related tangents along the way (less battery talk this week)! Tom explores the history of getting the first people into space, we have an image of chimpanzees being the first to brave the frontier of space but what about the worms, ants, and dogs. Mitch provides updates on the SLS rocket system, Artemis mission updates, and some of the troubles that the mission has been having and how they are fixing them on the fly.
