What is AI? A dominant view describes it as the quest to solve intelligence - a solution supposedly to be found in the secret logic of the mind or in the deep physiology of the brain, such as in its complex neural networks. The Eye of the Master argues, to the contrary, that the inner code of AI is shaped not by the imitation of biological intelligence, but the intelligence of labour and social relations, as it is found in Babbage #39;s calculating engines of the industrial age as well as in the recent algorithms for image recognition and surveillance. The idea that AI may one day become autonomous (or sentient , as someone thought of Google #39;s LaMDA) is pure fantasy. Computer algorithms have always imitated the form of social relations and the organisation of labour in their own inner structure and their purpose remains blind automation. The Eye of the Master urges a new literacy on AI for scientists, journalists and new generations of activists, who should recognise that the mystery of AI is just the automation of labour at the highest degree, not intelligence per se.

In the distant future, humans are on the verge of extinction and have settled in small tribes across the planet under the observation and care of the Mothers. Some children are made in factories, from cells of rabbits and dolphins; some live by getting nutrients from water and light, like plants. The survival of the race depends on the interbreeding of these and other alien beings - but it is far from certain that connection, love, reproduction, and evolution will persist among the inhabitants of this faltering new world. Unfolding over geological eons, Under the Eye of the Big Bird is at once an astonishing vision of the end of our species as we know it and a meditation on the qualities that, for better and worse, make us human.

Poté, co kapela vešla ve známost, se prodej nástroje ukulele zvýšil asi o 300 %. Spousta lidí si ho kupuje, ale není jenom kvůli kapele. Začal to být takový módní nástroj. Ukulele je cenově dostupné a je skladnější než kytara. Kapela UOjB je zapsaná v české knize rekordů a kuriozit jako kapela s největším počtem hráčů na ukulele. Jako důkaz že se dá se na čtyřstrunný nástroj zahrát opravdu všechno je právě toto CD. Kapela na něm prezentuje světové hity v netradičním pojetí. V repertoáru má kapela i lidové písničky, ale na CD najdete ty zahraniční. Nezpíváme moc české covery, protože máme v kapele rodilé Angličany, takže zpíváme jenom anglicky. Máme rádi třeba Rolling Stones, AC/DC a taky osmdesátky!

Audiokniha: Pilíře země, Na věky věků a Ohnivý sloup, tři monumentální historické ságy bestselleristy Kena Folletta dokázaly oslovit miliony čtenářů na celém světě. Nyní přichází autor s dalším románem Večer a jitro, který tuto kingsbridgeskou sérii dějově předchází. Píše se rok 997. Anglie čelí útokům Velšanů na západě a Vikingů na východě. Život je těžký a ti, kdo mají v rukou moc, ji tvrdě využívají a podrobují si spravedlnost, jak se jim zlíbí – často v konfliktu s králem. Králova moc je křehká, zákony se vykládají všelijak, a tak vládne v zemi chaos a krveprolití V tomto nejistém světě vystupují do popředí tři lidé: mladý stavitel lodí, který sní o lepší budoucnosti, když zničující vpád Vikingů zcela zhatí život, v jaký on a jeho budoucí žena doufali; normanská šlechtična, která následuje milovaného manžela přes moře do nové země, kde zjistí, že tamní život se řídí otřesně odlišnými zvyklostmi; a schopný mnich, který sní o tom, že přemění své prosté opatství v centrum vzdělanosti obdivované v celé Evropě. Anglie se nachází na úsvitu středověku a tito tři lidé se ocitnou v nebezpečném konfliktu s nemilosrdným biskupem, který dělá vše pro nárůst svého bohatství a moci. Epický příběh ctižádosti a rivality, smrti a narození, lásky a nenávisti začíná...
