Intellectually Curious
Intellectually Curious is a podcast by Mike Breault featuring over 1,400 AI-powered explorations across science, mathematics, philosophy, and personal growth. Each short-form episode is generated, refined, and published with the help of large language models—turning curiosity into an ongoing audio encyclopedia. Designed for anyone who loves learning, it offers quick dives into everything from combinatorics and cryptography to systems thinking and psychology.
Inspiration for this podcast:
"Muad'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It's shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson."
― Frank Herbert, Dune

SBOA: The Secretary Bird’s Blueprint for Edge AI and Drone Scheduling
A nature-inspired deep dive into the Secretary Bird Optimization Algorithm (SBOA): how a raptor’s two-stage hunt—general search with Brownian motion and precision strikes via Levy flights—translates into robust, dynamic scheduling for edge-enabled drone networks. We explore enhancements like MSESBOA+RL, golden sinusoidal guidance, and cooperative camouflage, discuss the IoT/drones edge-cloud trade-offs, and reveal real-world impacts (up to 19.42% reduction in makespan) and trade-offs in runtime. Future directions include group hunting and multi-objective foraging in nature-inspired AI.
