单集简介 ...

Chris Haughton is a designer, illustrator and children's book author, whose bold imagery is known for lighting up the pages of books such as Well Done, Mummy Penguin, and Don't Worry, Little Crab. But Haughton has a healthy enthusiasm for real-world innovation, which sits side by side with his artistic output. His latest book is thinking about some of those bigger ideas. It’s called The History of Information. It looks at the ways information has been cultivated, shared, and undermined throughout history and how its spread is often intrinsically linked to visual communication. Joining him to discuss the book is Carl Miller, the technology researcher, co-founder the Centre for the Analysis of Social Media at Demos, and host of crime podcast Kill List.

  • This episode is sponsored by Oracle.

  • AI might be the most important new computer technology ever.

  • It's storming every industry and literally billions of dollars are being invested.

  • So buckle up.

  • The problem is that AI needs a lot of speed and processing power.

  • So how do you compete without cost?

  • Spiraling out of control?

  • It's time to upgrade to the next generation of the cloud.

  • Oracle cloud infrastructure, or OCI.

  • OCI is a single platform for your infrastructure, database, application development, and AI needs.

  • OCI has four to eight times the bandwidth of other clouds, offers one consistent price instead of variable regional pricing.

  • And of course, nobody does data better than Oracle.

  • So now you can train your AI models at twice the speed and less than half the cost of other clouds.

  • If you want to do more and spend less, like Uber eight x eight and databricks mosaic, take a free test drive of oci@oracle.com.

  • dot that's Oracle.com squared.

  • Oracle.com squared.

  • When you think about super successful businesses that are selling through the roof like Heinz or Mattel, you think about a great product, a cool brand and brilliant marketing.

  • But there's a secret the business behind the business.

  • Making selling simple for them and buying.

  • Simple for their customers.
