☆ An Industry Insider Drives an Open Alternative to Big Tech’s A.I.

Ali Farhadi is no tech rebel. The Allen Institute has begun an ambitious initiative to build a freely available A.I. In an industry process called open source, other researchers will be allowed to scrutinize and use this new system and the data fed into it. The stance adopted by the Allen Institute, an influential nonprofit research center in Seattle, puts it squarely on one side of a fierce debate over how open or closed new A.I. Would opening up so-called generative A.I., which powers chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard, lead to more innovation and opportunity?

The celebrated Iranian director Asghar Farhadi on Tuesday blasted the arrest of film actor Taraneh Alidoosti, who was detained by authorities after expressing solidarity with nationwide anti-government protests that have rocked the country. In a post on Instagram, Farhadi demanded the immediate release of Alidoosti, who starred in his film “The Salesman,” a Tehran-set drama that won the Oscar for best foreign language feature in 2016. “I have worked with Taraneh on four films and now she is in prison for her rightful support of her fellow countrymen and her opposition to the unjust sentences being issued,” Farhadi wrote on Instagram. The demonstrations have since transformed into one of the most forceful challenges to Iran’s clerical regime since it was installed in the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Farhadi is widely considered one of the best working filmmakers in contemporary Iran.

State media said 12 bank branches were destroyed in the unrest in recent days, and 219 ATMs have been damaged.

Chiar și azi îmi amintesc vocea copilului care s-a uitat pe geam și a strigat „Mama, se Roma!”. M-am pomenit dintr-o dată într-o lume a lui Fellini, plină de impulsivitate, mult suflet și aviație. De data aceasta, am selectat cinci filme care, pe lângă narațiunea captivantă pe care o au la bază, vin să ne prezinte o lume diferită de cea pe care ne-am obișnuit s-o vedem. Încă din primele minute, ești atras într-o lume nemiloasă încât uiți îndată că privești un desen animat. E vorba de o lume a tabuurilor pe care o cunoaștem doar din știri sau interviuri.
