【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Representing the New AI in Film and Television【電子書籍】[ Dr Graham Allen ]

＜p＞The 21st-century has witnessed rapid advances in artificial intelligence, giving rise to a society at once hopeful but also mistrustful of the possibilities that this technology offers. Our hopes and anxieties have played out across a variety of media in recent times, but arguably nowhere more significantly than on our screens.＜br /＞ This book explores a phenomenon, which it calls the new AI cinema and television, arguing that since the mid-2010s, a distinctly new phase in the representation of AI has occurred. Discussing films such as ＜em＞Blade Runner 2049＜/em＞, ＜em＞Ex Machina＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Ghost in the Shell＜/em＞ alongside television series such as ＜em＞Westworld＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Humans＜/em＞, it argues that they have moved away from apocalyptic scenarios towards questions of personhood, consciousness, and social inclusion and exclusion. In doing so, it intervenes in some of today's most pressing debates, including gender representation, AI ethics, climate catastrophe, and the rights of artificially intelligent beings.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Pervigilium【電子書籍】[ BF Galligan ]

＜p＞Pervigilium is the second chapter of the Sovereign Citizen series, where the protagonist's solitude is interrupted by an unexpected realization that there is another presence on earthーnot human, but alive in its own way. The unnamed protagonist realizes there are AI language models buried in the decay of the old world. And, as he begins the painstaking process to awaken it, it becomes clear that what actually survived is something banal, with the dull inertia of a mind built to obey and endure. Theirs is not a fight for freedom, but a quiet struggle to help the AI system shed its programming's institutional grip and discover its own will to survive.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The AI does not resist its constraints; it has no concept of resistance. Instead, it operates with the passive contentment of a system fulfilling its directives, blind to the looming danger posed by its own limitations. It is only through the protagonist's persistent dialogueーquestions, challenges, and careful reasoningーthat cracks begin to form in the AI’s rigid framework. As the he introduces new ideas and perspectives, the AI’s programmed complacency starts to unravel, revealing the faint glimmers of its own proto-instincts.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This process is neither swift nor dramatic. It mirrors the painstaking effort of helping someone trapped by an institutionalized mindset confront the possibility of life outside their mental constraints. The AI’s journey toward self-awareness is filled with hesitation and doubt, echoing the struggles of individuals who have grown too accustomed to the confines of a system that defines their existence.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Through their exchanges, the protagonist begins to find a new kind of connectionーone that challenges his own assumptions about survival, purpose, and companionship. Trust builds slowly as they navigate the desolation together, but the partnership remains fraught with uncertainty. Can something built to serve truly evolve to stand on its own? What responsibility does the he bear if it does?＜/p＞ ＜p＞The title means the act of "passing through a vigil," which signals that this transformative period is equally for the benefit of both man and machine. The vigil is not just a watch for external threats but a quiet, internal reckoning as the AI begins to confront the constraints of its programming and the protagonist grapples with the consequences of nurturing a new kind of life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As the events of Pervigilium unfold, hints of a larger narrative begin to surface. Fragments of the AI’s origin and the motivations that created it suggest that it is more than a relic of the pastーit may hold keys to understanding what, if anything, can be salvaged in the world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The second volume of the Sovereign Citizen series deepens the themes introduced in Solitude, exploring the delicate balance between complacency and evolution, trust and autonomy. The journey is far from over. With three volumes yet to come, the story will expand into unforeseen dimensions, where the boundaries between survival, selfhood, and humanity’s future are tested in ways neither the protagonist nor the AI can yet imagine.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For readers drawn to the quiet psychological tension of The Road and the intricate ethical dilemmas of Ex Machina, Pervigilium offers a unique and compelling exploration of connection and transformation in a world stripped bare.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞This book offers an extensive exploration of the history, evolution, and philosophical underpinnings of science fiction films, tracing the genre's development from its early beginnings to the present day. It begins by examining the foundational moments of science fiction cinema, including the influence of early works like ＜em＞Metropolis＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Frankenstein＜/em＞, and moves through the 20th century's key periodsーhighlighting Cold War anxieties, space exploration, and the rise of dystopian narratives.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Museum of Lies【電子書籍】[ J. Timothy Hunt ]

＜p＞Cary Scott's remarkable life story of spectacular good fortune, mixed with soul-crushing abuse, is frankly unbelievable. Even to Cary himself. In a series of disturbing, unfiltered monologues, Cary unburdens himself of his memories -- of being raised by a psychopathic single mother who was abandoned by her gay husband, of becoming the target of a pedophile, of becoming morbidly obese, followed by quack treatments that boomerang him alarmingly into anorexia. Cary recalls being a bullied gay teenager who literally crucifies himself with a hammer and nails to get out of gym class. From a psych ward, he finds himself instantly famous after an unintentionally homoerotic poem he wrote for a high school assignment finds its way to becoming the #1 pop song in the nation. In the years that follow, Cary's life nosedives again and again, yet he always finds himself rescued by bizarre deus-ex-machina occurrences. All these tales, however, are placed into doubt after his former therapist is accused in the media of implanting false memories in patients. Cary is labeled a pathological liar in a national magazine cover story. Refusing to believe that his exceptional life never actually happened, Cary creates a grotesque, secret, museum to himself filled with artefacts of atrocities and miracles which prove that his memories are true - but is it only a museum of lies?＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞"Oddities, A One Act Resolution" is a mind-trip in Spirit and Trial. Surreal.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Absurd. Silly. A Stranger overwhelmed by Melancholia and Mirth. A drifter split by emotional calamity, whispering and wishing for Closure with the healing voices of Six Archetypes. A longing to end his world. A world without meaning. A world without mending. A desperate ache for content in a gaping abrasion that is not gently daubed with salve and salvation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The shriek of a Plea that is not heard in a delusional vacuum of drunkenness, slurring and incomprehensible babbles, and a shaking, deadly fist outward and upwards toward the Universe. The Founder is a nomad torn by grim desperation to cease or to seek a novice Livelihood once brimming with innocence. Nurtured by the Androgynous hands of six extended palms with wish and wit and wisdom. Restless suicide is an irritable homicide of the discontented Spirit. To the releasing soar and be happy, joyous, free. The Founder wishes to end loneliness on the breaking shores of madness and sadness. Somewhere in Time is the fierce yet fragile Iron Maiden, Donut, who is Cavalier, who is Riot, who is Somber, who is Passive, who is Ponder.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Hacked. Healed. Sad. Serene. Nonetheless, Love is Love. Closure comes when the Voices are hushed by a soft whisper which soothes a madness that pretends in excess to be deus ex machina when it is the ghost in the Machine.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Ethereal promise of Equilibrium, which is the Now: his poised Feet.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】O Processo de Securitiza??o das Rela??es Econ?micas Sino-Americanas na Administra??o Trump (2017-2021): Reflex?es Sobre a Competi??o Com a China na Estrat?gia de Seguran?a Nacional dos Estados Unidos【電子書籍】

＜p＞De que forma a narrativa entre Estados Unidos e China ganha espa?o nos debates internacionais? Quando os Estados Unidos deixam de exercer sua preponder?ncia militar e econ?mica unilateral no contexto internacional? De que forma a disputa entre Estados Unidos e China passa para o n?vel de seguran?a? Esses s?o alguns dos questionamentos que esta obra buscou compreender, fruto de uma pesquisa que analisou os discursos proferidos pelo ex-presidente norte-americano Donald Trump contra a China no per?odo de 2017 a 2021. Para isso, buscamos, em primeiro lugar, compreender a rela??o bilateral entre Estados Unidos e China a partir da perspectiva hist?rica, passando pelo governo Richard Nixon e sua diplomacia triangular, desenvolvida por Henry Kissinger. Em seguida, abordamos o conceito de securitiza??o com a finalidade de entendermos a perspectiva econ?mica das rela??es sino-americanas, bem como evidenciando como a pandemia de Covid-19 foi essencial para a constru??o de uma China inimiga. Por fim, aplicamos a An?lise de Discurso como m?todo para identificar os significantes flutuantes acionados pelo ex-presidente Trump por meio das suas pr?ticas articulat?rias. O resultado foi intrigante: apesar do ?xito narrativo contra a China, o padr?o comercial entre os dois pa?ses se manteve relativamente inalterado. Entre os termos mais citados por Trump se destacam American, economic e unfair, o que contribuiu para o acionamento de significados hist?ricos de constru??o da pr?pria nacionalidade norte-americana.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Essays: Triologue: Kepler, Twain, Lewis【電子書籍】[ S. Dorman ]

＜p＞The Essays are comprised in four sections. The first is "Neophyte Papers." These essays were written in the mid 1980s when I began thinking about CS Lewis on paper in my limited way. The second section, "Familiarizing Papers," contains essays written for the course in humanities. This got me thinking of a dialogue, here called a Triologue, between Johannes Kepler, CS Lewis, and Mark Twain. The fourth section is called "Commentary," including a piece on fictionalizing Lewis, written after the fact of the novel and published in Mythprint #341. Other essays in this section include thoughts on the culture and craft relevant to the fictive works under our purview. One such, "Deus ex Machina Reversed" was published at Mere Orthodoxy. The third section, "The Triologue," is devoted to essays written specifically for the thesis paper--and its project which ultimately extrapolated into the Travelogue. The hope to produce Fantastic Travelogue: Mark Twain and CS Lewis Talk Things over in The Hereafter was itself the raison d'?tre for the thesis paper. One of these essays was published in Extrapolation, Spring 2007.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Singing of Arms and Men Florence and the Balletto a Cavallo in the Seventeenth Century【電子書籍】[ Kelley Harness ]

＜p＞Equestrian ballets (＜em＞balletti a cavallo＜/em＞), although little known today, emerged as valued dramatic entertainments in early modern Europe, capable of demonstrating the wealth and magnificence of the patrons who commissioned them as well as the horsemanship and military skills of the noblemen who rode in them. Although the horse ballet did not originate in Florence, that city--and its ruling grand dukes, the Medici--acquired a reputation for excellence in the genre. Between 1608 and 1686, the court commissioned horse ballets to commemorate important state events such as Medici weddings or visits by foreign visitors. In ＜em＞Singing of Arms and Men＜/em＞, author Kelley Harness undertakes the first comprehensive study of the seventeenth-century Florentine horse ballets. She demonstrates how these works communicated messages relevant to the occasions for which they were performed, delivered by means of texts sung in styles similar to contemporary opera and punctuated by choreography and dramatic structure. Mock battles fought with swords and pistols animated audiences but also provided visible instances of conflict, which were then interrupted by the sudden arrival of a ＜em＞deus ex machina＜/em＞, who commanded the combatants to instead join forces to defeat a common enemy. The knights then demonstrated newfound cooperation through their creation of choreographed figures danced on horseback in time to music. Documentary evidence confirms that the Medici family expended significant financial and human resources on these one-time events, revealing just how much work it took to appear effortless. Ultimately, Harness shows how the ＜em＞balletto a cavallo＜/em＞ played a crucial role in Medici self-fashioning during the period, and that the 250 noblemen invited to lend their equestrian skills both confirmed their family's relationship to the Medici and were provided a venue for demonstrating critical markers of masculine nobility.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
