Their search for Earth’s lost spices just crash-landed them into a world of trouble! 💥 When the six-member crew of the Serrano wrecks their ship; Kent, C-LA, Ada, Eloy, Mod and Nexus must race against time and some mysterious planet inhabitants to escape before they become the main course.
What’s next for Spice Frontier?
Steamroller Animation is an independent studio that has thrived in a competitive industry for more than a decade. While we’ve built a successful business providing high-quality animation services, our budget for original content is limited.
Spice Frontier: Escape from Veltegar marks our first pilot-length episode, created with a new real-time pipeline in Unreal Engine. Over the past 3.5 years, we’ve invested our profits into developing this technological framework that will support a future range of incredible stories.
Spice Frontier is our industry calling card, and we’re seeking investment, co-production partners, broadcasters, and distributors to bring future episodes to life.
Support independent filmmaking so we can share more Spice Frontier with the world!
Today, we’re announcing our newest generative media models, which mark significant breakthroughs. These models create breathtaking images, videos and music, empowering artists to bring their creative vision to life. They also power amazing tools for everyone to express themselves.
Veo 3 and Imagen 4, our newest video and image generation models, push the frontier of media generation, with their groundbreaking new capabilities. We’re also expanding access to Lyria 2, giving musicians more tools to create music. Finally, we’re inviting visual storytellers to try Flow, our new AI filmmaking tool. Using Google DeepMind’s most advanced models, Flow lets you weave cinematic films with more sophisticated control of characters, scenes and styles, to bring your story to life.
Did the universe really start with a Big Bang? Dr. Richard Lieu thinks otherwise. In this episode, we explore his radical theory of transient temporal singularities—bursts that could replace dark matter, dark energy, and even the Big Bang itself. Get ready to rethink the universe.
Chapters: 00:00 Introduction. 00:43 The Big Bang Under Scrutiny. 04:31 Gravity Without Mass? 07:56 Implications, Related Theories, and the Future of Cosmology. 11:07 Outro. 11:26 Enjoy.

Since Nick Bostrom wrote Superintelligence, AI has surged from theoretical speculation to powerful, world-shaping reality. Progress is undeniable, yet there is an ongoing debate in the AI safety community – caught between mathematical rigor and swiss-cheese security. P(doom) debates rage on, but equally concerning is the risk of locking in negative-value futures for a very long time.
Zooming in: motivation selection-especially indirect normativity-raises the question: is there a structured landscape of possible value configurations, or just a chaotic search for alignment?
From Superintelligence to Deep Utopia: not just avoiding catastrophe but ensuring resilience, meaning, and flourishing in a’solved’ world; a post instrumental, plastic utopia – where humans are ‘deeply redundant’, can we find enduring meaning and purpose?
This is our moment to shape the future. What values will we encode? What futures will we entrench?

Depression is among the most widespread mental health disorders worldwide, typically characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, a lack of interest in daily activities and dysregulated sleep and/or eating habits. There are now a wide range of pharmacological treatments for depression, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), tricyclic antidepressants and atypical antidepressants.
In recent years, some research groups have been exploring the potential of alternative treatments for depression that rely on psychedelic compounds, such as psilocybin. Psilocybin is a compound naturally found in more than 100 species of mushrooms, which can influence the mood and perceptions of those who ingest it.
Researchers at Imperial College London’s Center for Psychedelic Research recently carried out a study aimed at better understanding the effects of psilocybin treatment on the processing of music and the experience of emotions, comparing them to those of escitalopram, a widely used SSRI.
Ever felt like a song really resonates with you? That may be more true than you think.
A new theory suggests that we don’t just listen to it; our bodies physically resonate with music, as our brains’ natural oscillations synchronize with structures like rhythm and pitch.
Music is often thought of as a ‘universal language’ – people across cultures will bust out similar moves, and young kids will instinctively bop to a beat.
Crystals are not alive, yet they grow, form complex structures, and even conduct electricity. Could life emerge from crystals rather than carbon-based molecules? Explore the intriguing possibility of crystal-based lifeforms, the challenges they would face, and the conditions where they might thrive. We journey to five exotic worlds—Vulcan, Ribbon World, Longenacht, Telluride, and Tempest—each offering unique environments where crystalline life might take hold. Could such life develop naturally, or might humanity one day engineer it? Join us as we dive into the cutting-edge science and speculative possibilities of crystalline biology.
