Book Empire of AI Marked by 2 people recently From a brilliant longtime AI insider with intimate access to the world of Sam Altman's OpenAI from the beginning, an eye-opening account of arguably the most fateful tech arms race in history, reshaping the planet in real time, from the cockpit of the company that is driving the frenzy When AI expert and investigative journalist Karen Hao first began covering OpenAI in 2019, she thought they were the good guys. Founded as a nonprofit with safety enshrined as its core mission, the organization was meant, its leader Sam Altman told us, to act as a check against more purely mercantile, and potentially dangerous, forces. What could go wrong? Over time, Hao began to wrestle ever more deeply with that question. Increasingly, she realized that the core truth of this massively disruptive sector is that its vision of success requires an almost unprecedented amount of resources: the “compute” power of high-end chips and the processing capacity to create massive large language models, the sheer volume of data that needs to be amassed at scale, the humans “cleaning up” that data for sweatshop wages throughout the Global South, and a truly alarming spike in the usage of energy and water underlying it all. The truth is that we have entered a new and ominous age of empire: only a small handful of globally scaled companies can even enter the field of play. At the head of the pack with its ChatGPT breakthrough, how would OpenAI resist such temptations? Spoiler alert: it didn’t. Armed with Microsoft’s billions, OpenAI is setting a breakneck pace, chased by a small group of the most valuable companies in human history—toward what end, not even they can define. All this time, Hao has maintained her deep sourcing within the company and the industry, and so she was in intimate contact with the story that shocked the entire tech industry—Altman’s sudden firing and triumphant return. The behind-the-scenes story of what happened, told here in full for the first time, is revelatory of who the people controlling this technology really are. But this isn’t just the story of a single company, however fascinating it is. The g forces pressing down on the people of OpenAI are deforming the judgment of everyone else too—as such forces do. Naked power finds the ideology to cloak itself; no one thinks they’re the bad guy. But in the meantime, as Hao shows through intrepid reporting on the ground around the world, the enormous wheels of extraction grind on. By drawing on the viewpoints of Silicon Valley engineers, Kenyan data laborers, and Chilean water activists, Hao presents the fullest picture of AI and its impact we’ve seen to date, alongside a trenchant analysis of where things are headed. Karen Hao
TV Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 ★ 5.4 Marked by 2 people recently In a city that thrives in the spotlight of violence, one question remains: when the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter?
TV Pluribus ★ 7.9 Marked by 2 people recently The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness. Gordon Smith
Game Umbrella Marked by 2 people recently A crowd of umbrellas throngs the streets of New York, and seen from the sky, the colors dance... In Umbrella, each player orchestrates a "dance" of umbrellas in a street crossing. You start with a 4x4 square of umbrellas, with four each of four colors. One umbrella of each color starts in a "waiting zone" to your left and right (with these being shared with the players sitting in those directions), a "waiting zone" in the center of play (shared by all players), and a "waiting zone" below your personal game board (shared by no one else). Start with two stacks of two figure tiles on your game board. Each figure tile shows you an arrangement of umbrellas in a single color that you want to create on your board. On a turn, take an umbrella from an adjacent waiting zone, then slide it onto your game board from the direction of that area, pushing out an umbrella into the waiting zone on the opposite side. If you've created a unicolor umbrella arrangement that matches a visible figure tile on your board, place a scoring token on an empty space of the matching color on your scoreboard, then pass the figure tile to the player on your left; they place this tile on their board in the first empty figure space, rotating the tile to match the depicted orientation. Continue taking turns in clockwise order until a player has no figure tiles in front of them, a player has ten scoring tokens on their scoreboard, or a player empties the pool of scoring tokens by taking the final one. Each other player takes one turn, then everyone scores their points: 2 points per scoring token, a variable number of points for groups of tokens (which differs per scoreboard), and points based on the number of umbrellas in their personal waiting zone.

Book Neuromancer Marked by 1 person recently No futuro, existe a matrix. Uma espécie de alucinação coletiva digital na qual a humanidade se conecta para, virtualmente, saber de tudo sobre tudo. Mas há uma elite que navega por essa grande rede de informação - os cowboys. Case era um deles, até o dia em que tentou ser mais esperto do que os seus patrões. Que fritaram suas conexões com o ciberespaço, tornando-o um pária entre os seus iguais. Ele vaga pelos subúrbios de Tóquio, mais envolvido do que nunca em destruir a si próprio, até ser contatado por Molly, uma bela e perigosa mulher que, assim como ele, desconfia de tudo e de todos. Os dois acabam se envolvendo numa missão cheia de mistérios e perigos. Esta edição comemorativa de 25 anos de "Neuromancer" conta com nova tradução de Fábio Fernandes e prefácio de William Gibson. O romance de estréia de Gibson é o primeiro volume da chamada Trilogia do Sprawl, que ainda inclui os livros "Count Zero" e "Mona Lisa Overdrive". William Gibson

Music Songs In The Key Of Life Marked by 1 person recently Songs in the Key of Life is the eighteenth studio album by American singer, songwriter and musician Stevie Wonder. It was released on September 28, 1976 by Tamla Records, a division of Motown. The double album has been regarded by music journalists as the culmination of Wonder's "classic period" of recording. Stevie Wonder
Music Zero Marked by 1 person recently In 2013, Faith Yang made her return to the Mandopop scene with her fifth solo album, Zero. Staying true to her rock roots and undiminished passion, the album—steered by producer Wang Chih-ping—brings together an elite roster of musical talent, including A-Xiang (Luantan A-Xiang), Chang Chen-yue, Mavis Fan, Ma Nien-hsien, Ge Da-wei, Xiao An, and Lala Hsu. The project also incorporates exceptional compositions from rising talents like Da Tian (of the band Cherry Boom) and Yu Ai-lun. With mixing handled by renowned international engineer Craig Burbidge, the album assembles a stellar creative team, delivering a high-voltage, electrifying sonic experience. The style of Zero is direct and unvarnished; "zero" represents both an end and a beginning. As Faith Yang puts it: "The beauty of life lies in the fact that it will eventually come to an end." Faith Yang
