algorithmic intimacy anthony elliott

Artificial intelligence not only powers our cars, hospitals and courtrooms: predictive algorithms are becoming deeply lodged inside us too. Machine intelligence is learning our private preferences and discreetly shaping our personal behaviour, telling us how to live, who to befriend and who to date. In Algorithmic Intimacy, Anthony Elliott examines the power of predictive algorithms in reshaping personal relationships today. From Facebook friends and therapy chatbots to dating apps and quantified sex lives, Elliott explores how machine intelligence is working within us, amplifying our desires and steering our personal preferences. He argues that intimate relationships today are threatened not by the digital revolution as such, but by the orientation of various life strategies unthinkingly aligned with automated machine intelligence. Our reliance on algorithmic recommendations, he suggests, reflects a growing emergency in personal agency and human bonds. We need alternatives, innovation and experimentation for the interpersonal, intimate effort of ongoing translation back and forth between the discourses of human and machine intelligence.  Accessible and compelling, this book sheds fresh light on the impact of artificial intelligence on the most intimate aspects of our lives. It will appeal to students in the social sciences and humanities and to a wide range of general readers.

A wide-ranging and dramatic account of the Antonine plague, the mysterious disease that struck the Roman Empire at its pinnacleIn the middle of the second century AD, Rome was at its prosperous and powerful apex. The emperor Marcus Aurelius reigned over a vast territory that stretched from Britain to Egypt. The Roman-made peace, or Pax Romana, seemed to be permanent. Then, apparently out of nowhere, a sudden sickness struck the legions and laid waste to cities, including Rome itself. This fast-spreading disease, now known as the Antonine plague, may have been history⠙s first pandemic. Soon after its arrival, the Empire began its downward trajectory toward decline and fall. In Pox Romana, historian Colin Elliott offers a comprehensive, wide-ranging account of this pivotal moment in Roman history. Did a single disease⠔its origins and diagnosis still a mystery⠔bring Rome to its knees? Carefully examining all the available evidence, Elliott shows that Rome⠙s problems were more insidious. Years before the pandemic, the thin veneer of Roman peace and prosperity had begun to crack: the economy was sluggish, the military found itself bogged down in the Balkans and the Middle East, food insecurity led to riots and mass migration, and persecution of Christians intensified. The pandemic exposed the crumbling foundations of a doomed Empire. Arguing that the disease was both cause and effect of Rome⠙s fall, Elliott describes the plague⠙s ⠜preexisting conditions⠝ (Rome⠙s multiple economic, social, and environmental susceptibilities); recounts the history of the outbreak itself through the experiences of physician, victim, and political operator; and explores postpandemic crises. The pandemic⠙s most transformative power, Elliott suggests, may have been its lingering presence as a threat both real and perceived.

Elliott s classic chronicle has become established as the most comprehensive, balanced, and accessible account of the dramatic rise and fall of imperial Spain. Now with a new preface by the author, this brilliant study unveils how a barren, impoverished, and isolated country became the greatest power on earth—and just as quickly fell into decline.At its greatest Spain was a master of Europe: its government was respected, its armies were feared, and its conquistadores carved out a vast empire. Yet this splendid power was rapidly to lose its impetus and creative dynamism. How did this happen in such a short space of time? Taking in rebellions, religious conflict and financial disaster, Elliott s masterly social and economic analysis studies the various factors that precipitated the end of an empire.

Medicínske médium ANTHONY WILLIAM pomohol desaťtisícom ľudí dostať sa zo zdravotných problémov, ktoré im lekári nesprávne diagnostikovali, nevhodne liečili alebo ich vyliečiť vôbec nevedeli. Darí sa mu to vďaka božskému hlasu, ktorý mu doslova šepká do ucha a prezrádza korene ľudských trápení či chorôb, ako aj prostriedky na ich liečbu. Vo svojej prvej knihe, v bestselleri New York Times Medicínske médium, Anthony prezradil, ako zostaviť špecifické liečebné plány na desiatky chorôb, pri ktorých výživa zohráva hlavnú úlohu. Jeho ďalšia kniha Medicínske médium: liečivá sila potravín sa bližšie zaoberá liečivými účinkami viac než päťdesiatich druhov ovocia, zeleniny, byliniek, korenín a divorastúcich plodov, ktorých konzumácia má jedinečný vplyv na zdravie človeka. Anthony vysvetľuje vlastnosti každej potraviny, symptómy a ochorenia, pri ktorých môže pomôcť alebo ich úplne vyliečiť, ako aj emočnú a duchovnú podporu každej z nich. Knihu dopĺňa lahodnými receptami, vďaka ktorým si maximálne vychutnáte blahodarné účinky každej potraviny. Sú to napríklad sladké zemiaky plnené dusenou kapustou alebo medovo-kokosová zmrzlina. V TEJTO KNIHE ZISTÍTE prečo sú lesné čučoriedky „potravinou vzkriesenia“, špargľa studňou mladosti a prečo nám citróny po zlých správach zdvihnú náladu, ktoré potraviny najúčinnejšie uľavia pri žlčníkových kameňoch, vysokom krvnom tlaku, mozgovej otupenosti, problémoch so štítnou žľazou, migréne a stovkách iných symptómov a ochorení, akú špecifickú liečivú moc má kivi, uhorka, mačací pazúr, kokos a veľa ďalších potravín, pravdu o maškrtných chutiach, ako využiť stres vo svoj prospech a aká je kľúčová úloha ovocia pri plodnosti. Informácie, ktoré nám Anthony prináša, sa často dramaticky líšia od tradičných poznatkov medicíny, a tak nečakajte len dookola opakované staré známe fakty. Naopak, pripravte sa na celkom nové poznatky napríklad o tom, že v pomarančoch je oveľa viac než len vitamín C. Pochopíte silu prostriedkov, vďaka ktorým sa vyliečite z chorôb a udržíte seba a svojich blízkych v bezpečí. Medicínske médium Anthony William radí, ako zmeniť svoj život pomocou skrytej liečivej sily ovocia a zeleniny. Okrem iného sa v knihe dočítate: podstatných špecifických faktoroch, ktoré majú na svedomí rastúci počet ochorení, ako aj o tom, ako pred nimi chrániť seba a svojich blízkych, potravinách, ktoré dokážu opraviť DNA, posilniť imunitný systém, zlepšiť duševné zdravie, alkalizovať všetky telesné sústavy či ochraňovať pred negatívnymi emóciami ostatných, technikách, ktoré z ovocia, zeleniny, byliniek, korenín a divo rastúcich plodov spravia liečivé potraviny ako stvorené pre individuálne potreby každého z nás. Dozviete sa tiež o konkrétnych potravinách, po ktorých sa oplatí siahnuť pri stovkách ochorení a príznakov, ako sú napríklad: úzkosť auto imunitné ochorenia rakovina cukrovka tráviace problémy únava potravinové alergie neplodnosť zápaly nespavosť lymská borelióza strata pamäti migréna ochorenie štítnej žľazy priberanie na hmotnosti

The Roman Conquests series seeks to explain when and how the Romans were able to conquer a vast empire stretching from the foothills of the Scottish Highlands to the Sahara Desert, from the Atlantic to the Persian Gulf. How did their armies adapt to and overcome the challenges of widely varied enemies and terrain?In this volume, Dr Simon Elliott draws on the latest research and archaeological evidence to present a new narrative of the conquest (never completed) of Britain. From Julius Caesarâ ™s initial incursions in 55 and 54 BC, through the Claudian invasion of 43 AD and the campaigns of expansion and pacification thereafter, he analyses the Roman army in action. The weapons, equipment, organization, leadership, strategy and tactics of the legions and their British foes are described and analysed. The ferocity of the resistance was such that the island was never wholly subdued and required a disproportionate military presence for the duration of its time as a Roman province.

Collage is one of the most popular and pervasive of all art-forms, yet this is the first historical survey book ever published on the subject. Featuring over 200 works, ranging from the 1500s to the present day, it offers an entirely new approach. Hitherto, collage has been presented as a twentieth-century phenomenon, linked in particular to Pablo Picasso and Cubism in the years just before the First World War. In Cut and Paste: 400 Years of Collage, we trace its origins back to books and prints of the 1500s, through to the boom in popularity of scrapbooks and do-it-yourself collage during the Victorian period, and then through Cubism, Futurism, Dada and Surrealism. Collage became the technique of choice in the 1960s and 1970s for anti-establishment protest, and in the present day is used by millions of us through digital devices. The definition of collage employed here is a broad one, encompassing cut-and-pasted paper, photography, patchwork, film and digital technology and ranging from work by professionals to unknown makers, amateurs and children. Contents: Collage Over the Centuries, an introductory essay by Patrick Elliott; Collage Before Modernism by Freya Gowrley; On Edge: Exploring Collage Tactics and Terminology by Yuval Etgar; catalogue of exhibition works; a Chronology of Collage.

The winner of four Emmys, a Peabody, and two Writers Guild Awards (all of which badly need dusting) explains his process for writing comedy without going insane. Â Philosophers may debate the meaning of comedy (thankfully keeping them too busy to fall into a life of crime), but the rest of us are more likely to wonder how we can make an audience laughâ ”or at least, how to entertain our friends and followers. According to award-winning comedy writer Elliott Kalan, we need to stop staring out the window, waiting for hilarious bits to stroll into view, fully formed. What we need is a process to plant their premises, tend to their structure and wording, and ultimately harvest them as funny material. In short, a farm. But for jokes. Â In Joke Farming, Kalan explains that itâ ™s easier to write jokes when you have a dependable method for doing so. All jokes, he argues, are built from the same elements: structure, premise, voice, tone, wording, and audienceâ ”and these elements can be applied to any comedic genre, from stand-up to sitcoms to satire. Kalan analyzes examples from his own careerâ ”including jokes that he wrote (and rewrote and rewrote and rewrote . . . ) as head writer for The Daily Show with Jon Stewartâ ”as well as material from a diverse array of comedians, writers, and filmmakers, highlighting the phrasing, rhythm, and precise details that make their work so dang funny. Â Drawing on his experiences in professional writersâ ™ rooms as well as episodes from everyday life, Kalanâ ™s guide to jokes will appeal to aspiring writers, their mentors, comedy fans, and anyone who has to speak at a wedding. Joke Farming points the way toward a writing process that lessens stress and agony and yields more reliable rewards: a surprising tagline, a hilarious word choice, andâ ”most importantlyâ ”a bigger laugh from the audience, whoever they may be.

#1 on AMAZON, TWENTY WEEKS on the NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LIST, and a WALL STREET JOURNAL, USA TODAY and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY NATIONAL BESTSELLEROver 1,000,000 copies sold despite censorship, boycotts from bookstores and libraries, and hit pieces against the author. Pharma-funded mainstream media has convinced millions of Americans that Dr. Anthony Fauci is a hero. Hands down, he is anything but. As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Dr. Anthony Fauci dispenses $6.1 billion in annual taxpayer-provided funding for rigged scientific research, allowing him to dictate the subject, content, and outcome of scientific health research across the globe—truly a dark agenda. Fauci uses the financial clout at his disposal in a back handed manner to wield extraordinary influence over hospitals, universities, journals, and thousands of influential doctors and scientists—whose careers and institutions he has the power to ruin, advance, or reward in an authoritarian manner. During more than a year of painstaking and meticulous research on his laptop and through interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unearthed a shocking story that obliterates media spin on Dr. Fauci . . . and that will alarm every American—Democrat or Republican—who cares about democracy, our Constitution, and the future of our children’s health.The Real Anthony Fauci reveals how “America’s Doctor” launched his career during the early AIDS crisis by partnering with pharmaceutical companies to sabotage safe and effective off-patent therapeutic treatments for AIDS. Fauci orchestrated fraudulent do-nothing studies, and then pressured US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulators into approving a deadly chemotherapy treatment he had good reason to know was worthless against AIDS. Fauci did the unthinkable and repeatedly violated federal laws to allow his Pharma partners to use impoverished and dark-skinned children as lab rats in beyond order, deadly experiments with toxic AIDS and cancer chemotherapies. In early 2000, Fauci shook hands with Bill Gates in the library of Gates’ $147 million Seattle mansion, cementing a partnership that would aim to control an increasingly profitable $60 billion global vaccine enterprise with unlimited growth potential. Through funding leverage and carefully cultivated personal relationships with heads of state and leading media and social media institutions, the Pharma-Fauci-Gates alliance exercises dominion over global health policy and our beautiful country. This is not just another political book. The Real Anthony Fauci details how Fauci, Gates, and their cohorts use their control of media outlets—both conservative and liberal leaning, scientific journals, key government and quasi-governmental agencies, global intelligence agencies, and influential scientists and physicians to flood the public with fearful propaganda about COVID-19 virulence and pathogenesis, and to muzzle debate and ruthlessly censor dissent.

Academy Award-winning actor Sir Anthony Hopkins delves into his illustrious film and theatre career, difficult childhood and path to sobriety in his honest, moving and long-awaited memoir. Born and raised in Port Talbot – a small Welsh steelworks town – amid war and depression, Sir Anthony Hopkins grew up around men who were tough, to say the least, and eschewed all forms of emotional vulnerability in favor of alcoholism and brutality. A struggling student in school, he was deemed by his peers, his parents and other adults as a failure with no future ahead of him. But, on a fateful Saturday night, the disregarded Welsh boy watched the 1948 adaptation of Hamlet, sparking a passion for acting that would lead him on a path that no one could have predicted. With candour and a voice that is both arresting and vulnerable, Sir Anthony recounts his various career milestones and provides a once-in-a-lifetime look into the brilliance behind some of his most iconic roles. His performance as Iago gets him admitted into the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and places him under the wing of Laurence Olivier. He meets Richard Burton by chance as a young boy in his art teacher’s apartment, and later, backstage before a performance of Equus as an established actor meeting his hero. His iconic portrayal of Hannibal Lecter was informed by the creepy performance of Bela Lugosi in Dracula and the razor-sharp precision of his acting teacher. He pulls raw emotion from the stoicism of his father and grandfather for an unforgettable performance in King Lear. Sir Anthony also takes a deeply honest look at the low points in his personal life. His addiction cost him his first marriage, his relationship with his only child, and nearly his life – the latter ultimately propelling him toward sobriety, a commitment he has maintained for nearly half a century. He constantly battles against the desire to move through life alone and avoid connection for fear of getting hurt – much like the men in his family – and as the years go by, he deals with questions of mortality, getting ready to discover what his father called The Big Secret. Featuring a special collection of personal photographs throughout, We Did OK, Kid is a raw and passionate memoir from a complex, iconic man who has inspired audiences with remarkable performances for over sixty years.

Many of these are titles that he himself published (Dune, The Thorn Birds, A Suitable Boy, Meetings with Remarkable Trees, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo); some are books he wished he had published (Stephen Hawking⠙s A Brief History of Time); others are simply masterworks that left an indelible mark on him (The Lord of the Rings, War and Peace).A Life in Fifty Books is an affectionate and revelatory account of a publishing life remarkable for its longevity, its entrepreneurial energy and for the breadth and catholicity of its output ⠓ which runs the gamut of seriousness from academically distinguished works of history, science and philosophy to Confessions of a Window Cleaner. Full of encounters with remarkable individuals as well as extraordinary books and embellished with beautiful photographs of book jackets from the 1950s to the present day, A Life in Fifty Books is an engagingly written survey of an industry which, in its author⠙s well-chosen words, offers its practitioners ⠘⠦a passport to roam across the entire spectrum of human experience, endeavour and belief⠙.

Anthony Bourdain once bragged he could “unload my opinion on anybody at any time. And that he did. His entire life seemed like a compendium of insightful (sometimes inflammatory) quotes, witty observations and touching moments he shared openly with the world. The man was never at a loss for words or an opinion. Bourdain’s unusual perspective was born out of decades of listening, tasting, writing and adventuring, allowing him to opine on everything from food to politics—with the same high level of enthusiasm.Regardless of the success he achieved, Bourdain’s stance was always that of a perpetual outsider who made it a point to embrace underrepresented voices, cultures, ideas and, yes, food. He found fame as a cook, a tv host and writer all while he circled the globe in search of more - encouraging his fans to take chances, step out of their comfort zones, and not just accept differences, but celebrate them. This handsome book examines the life of Anthony Bourdain, his knack for living with complete authenticity and the lessons we might learn by committing to the same level of passion and honesty. Bourdain once said “Essentially, I treated the world as my ashtray.” Just eight words. But he somehow painted a picture more detailed than others could in a novel. Anthony Bourdain Unloaded is a celebration of the man’s wit, intelligence and soul.
