Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 234 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A super scientifical smash this week, a long awaited one at that, as Pip is joined by the phenomenal Dr Kate Devlin - master of all that is AI, computer science and areas where these meet human sexuality.
Pip’s been hinting at this for a good while, as he knew after recording that it was already one of his favourites. He KNOWS you shouldn’t have favourites. But still… Anyway, Dr Kate is a full on expert on all things artificial intelligence, software and hardware, and as you will hear on this episode - relating to her new book ‘Turned On’ - how we humans have incorporated this all into our day to day lives. A true eye opener, as Dr Kate goes into how she found the appropriate tone of the book, addressing the truth behind headlines, how the conversation can often involve the subject of sex trafficking, sex toys and robots, how taboos and societal restrictions can shape advances in sexual technology, what porn statistics can reveal about certain areas of the world, sci-fi influences on the path of invention, the current temperature of where we’re at with robots, the films Ex Machina and Her, female-orientated sex dolls and how they could be so much more, the simple art of not shaming people about their kinks and desires, how we use manners with AI (like please and thank you with Alexa), and being tech positive - like not having a go at people for spending too much time on phones. And a TON more besides. Utterly fascinating. GET HER BOOK ‘TURNED ON’ AT YOUR NEAREST CONVENIENCE!

| 0:00.0 | This is a paid advertisement from Better Help. I've got a really clear memory when I first got a |
| 0:06.6 | dog of being really focused on how important all the things I have to do for this cute little guy |
| 0:13.6 | are. Like I need to make sure he's getting walks every day, fresh air every day, fresh water every |
| 0:21.1 | day, eating good food. And it becomes such a kind of a focus and a drive because you want to do all |
| 0:28.0 | you can for this little creature that you love. But we don't always put that much time and |
| 0:32.8 | attention into what we need for ourselves. Like what are our basic requirements to get through |
| 0:40.6 | life. And we need to focus on that more and Better Help can help with that. With over a thousand |
| 0:46.2 | therapists in the UK already, they can provide access to mental health professionals with a wide |
| 0:51.5 | variety of expertise in mental health. As far as I know, they've not got any that can help dogs, |
| 0:57.4 | but again, as long as you're dealing with that, then they can help you deal with you as well. |
| 1:03.0 | Alistair's get 10% off their first month at BetterHelp.com slash distraction pod. That's better |
| 1:09.5 | B-E-T-T-E-R-H-E-L-P.com slash distraction pod. Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the Distraction |
| 1:18.9 | Pieces Podcast Episode 234. Thank you all for tuning in, guys. I'm joined this week by Dr. |
| 1:26.4 | Kate Develin and by God, it's a good conversation. I do a little preview thing on Patreon. Thank you |
| 1:33.9 | to all the patrons patron.com slash screws. I should mention just right now that I hear about |
| 1:41.9 | patron stuff on podcasts and online all the time and I ignore 99% of them. So I understand if |
| 1:49.1 | you're ignoring this, but it is only like a quid a month or eight-year-old a month for whatever |
| 1:53.8 | it works out as. So if you did want to go over there, it's a good way to just support the podcast. |
| 1:59.4 | Originally, that's all it was going to be, but it's now also become a preview place. So every time |
| 2:06.4 | I go and record one, I post a little preview selfie on this so they know who's to come. |
| 2:11.9 | And when I did that, that's why I got to this. I posted the Dr. Kate Develin one the day before |
| 2:18.3 | the Angela Dufriya podcast went up and I've been saying for ages, Angela Angel, I've been |
