Rebooting AI - Ernest Davis, Gary Marcus

Two leaders in the field offer a compelling analysis of the current state of the art and reveal the steps we must take to achieve a robust artificial intelligence that can make our lives better.“Finally, a book that tells us what AI is, what AI is not, and what AI could become if only we are ambitious and creative enough.” —Garry Kasparov, former world chess champion and author of Deep Thinking Despite the hype surrounding AI, creating an intelligence that rivals or exceeds human levels is far more complicated than we have been led to believe. Professors Gary Marcus and Ernest Davis have spent their careers at the forefront of AI research and have witnessed some of the greatest milestones in the field, but they argue that a computer beating a human in Jeopardy! does not signal that we are on the doorstep of fully autonomous cars or superintelligent machines. The achievements in the field thus far have occurred in closed systems with fixed sets of rules, and these approaches are too narrow to achieve genuine intelligence.The real world, in contrast, is wildly complex and open-ended. How can we bridge this gap? What will the consequences be when we do? Taking inspiration from the human mind, Marcus and Davis explain what we need to advance AI to the next level, and suggest that if we are wise along the way, we won''t need to worry about a future of machine overlords. If we focus on endowing machines with common sense and deep understanding, rather than simply focusing on statistical analysis and gatherine ever larger collections of data, we will be able to create an AI we can trust—in our homes, our cars, and our doctors'' offices. Rebooting AI provides a lucid, clear-eyed assessment of the current science and offers an inspiring vision of how a new generation of AI can make our lives better.

Akta Rockefeller - Strukturu novodobé politické moci - Gary Allen

Akta Rockefeller nejsou smyšlenkou. Jsou celistvým, působivým a hrůzu nahánějícím výkladem snad nejvýznamnějších událostí naší doby. Popisují touhu Rockefellerů a jejich spojenců po vytvoření centrální světové vlády spojením superkapitalismu a komunismu pod jednou střechou v jejich režii. Za sto let od doby, kdy John D. Rockefeller využil všemožné prohnané strategie, které ho napadly, k vytvoření gigantického ropného monopolu, vyšlo o Rockefellerech dost knih na zaplnění celé knihovny. Mnohé z nich jsem četl, a pokud vím, ani jedna se neodvážila odhalit ten nejpodstatnější aspekt příběhu Rockefellerů. Totiž ten, že Rockefellerové se svými spojenci se již nejméně padesát let pečlivě drží plánu na využití ekonomické síly k zisku politické nadvlády nejdříve nad Amerikou a pak zbytkem světa. Mluvím tady o spiknutí? Přesně tak. Jsem přesvědčen, že takový plán existuje. Svým rozsahem je mezinárodní, naplánován byl na generace a jeho cíle jsou neuvěřitelně zhoubné. Pravda na následujících stránkách vás mnohdy překvapí, někdy vám bude nepříjemná a v každém případě pro vás bude mít velký význam. Gary Allenovi se skvěle podařilo pospojovat stovky izolovaných skutečností a skrytých vodítek, ze kterých vyvstal jeden neklamný obraz tajemství Rockefellerů. Obraz, který uvidíte, až otevřete Akta Rockefeller, vás možná bude šokovat. Z této knihy se dozvíte, proč se Rockefellerové drží právě takových postupů, jakých se drží, jaké jsou jejich cíle, kam chtějí Ameriku dovést… a proč je tak důležité, je zastavit. Nabádám vás, abyste si Akta Rockefeller přečetli a doporučili i svým známým.

Reckoning with Race - Frederick Allen

Reckoning with Race is a firsthand account of race relations in America from award-winning journalist, author, and former CNN commentator, Rick Allen. Allen''s collection of essays shows the progress our country has made -- and how much further we have to go. In his fifty-year career as an award-winning journalist, CNN commentator, and author of multiple books, Rick Allen has had a front-row seat on dramatic change in race relations in America. In Reckoning with Race, a collection of eighteen essays, he explores his ongoing efforts to understand the struggle of black and white Americans to navigate a shared history at once wicked and intimate, full of love and hate, as they seek to level an uneven playing field. Allen examines issues from the era of Reconstruction through Jim Crow, the Civil Rights movement, the rhythms of resistance and progress, into today''s contentious debates over redlining, reparations, and critical race theory. Starting as a reporter with the Atlanta Constitution in 1972, Allen got to know and befriend legendary black political figures including Julian Bond, John Lewis, Andy Young, Hosea Williams, Maynard Jackson, Jesse Jackson, and Daddy King, the father of Martin Luther King, Jr. He also encountered ardent white segregationists, some of whom saw the light and others who took their racism to the grave. Drawing on his experience covering politics, he examines presidents from LBJ and Jimmy Carter to Obama and Trump. He explores the symbolism of Confederate flags, the controversy over Uncle Remus, the election of Atlanta''s first black mayor, Maynard Jackson, and the tragic case of the Atlanta Child Murders. He has had first-hand encounters with white supremacy and violent black protest alike. Throughout Reckoning with Race, Allen is candid about his own shortcomings as a white native Northerner learning gradually about the complexities of race in his adoptive South. The essays highlight his continuing journey toward understanding the forces that both hinder and promote equality and harmony between the races.

Woody Allen: Film By Film

The quintessential guide to Woody Allen's lifetime of work, Woody Allen: Film by Film examines each of Allen's movies, from when he vented his first neuroses in 1965 with What's New Pussycat, by way of Oscar winner Annie Hall, Hannah and Her Sisters, all the way to his latest works of Wonder Wheel and Cafe Society. Woody Allen has enjoyed a career unlike any other writer or director in Hollywood. The impact of his comedy and his psychoanalysis of the modern world have been hugely influential and had a profound effect on popular culture ever since. Filled with key images of his films, as well as lots of behind-the-scenes content.As Woody said about himself: 'The two biggest myths about me are that I'm an intellectual, because I wear these glasses, and that I'm an artist because my films lose money.' As self-critical as ever - and with a hotly tipped Oscar material new film scheduled for the end of 2017 - Woody Allen remains a force to be reckoned with.

What'S with Baum? - Woody Allen

'Woody Allen’s wonderful novel reads like one of his films' The Telegraph'As a portrait of Woody Allen by Woody Allen, it’s a classic' The Standard'Good gags abound in this tale of a bespectacled Jewish writer caught up in a #MeToo takedown' GuardianAsher Baum is quietly losing his mind. Can you blame him?'Maybe what I really want is to make sense of all people’s lives. Of everything, the whole shebang'A middle-aged Jewish journalist turned novelist and playwright, consumed with anxiety about everything under the sun, Baum's turgid philosophical books receive tepid reviews and his prestigious New York publisher has dropped him. His third marriage is on the rocks and he suspects his handsome and successful younger brother may have seduced his Harvard-educated wife. He is uneasy with her close relationship with her son, a more successful author than he, and suspicious of her closeness with their neighbour in Connecticut. And in a moment of irrationality, he has impulsively tried to kiss a pretty young journalist during an interview that she is about to go public with. Is it any wonder Baum has started talking to himself? Strangers shake their heads and walk around him on the street. Meanwhile he learns a startling secret that could cause havoc should he expose it. Should he keep it to himself or reveal it and blow up his marriage?What's with Baum? is Woody Allen's first novel and it is everything you would expect of him--and more. A portrait of an intellectual crippled by neurotic concerns about the futility and emptiness of life; an amusing glimpse into the New York publishing establishment; above all, a highly entertaining, tightly plotted, beautifully wrought piece of fiction from one of America's greatest and most versatile cinematic and literary talents.

Mimochodem - Woody Allen

Slavný režisér ve svých pamětech nic neskrývá a jeho pohled na vlastní bouřlivé životní osudy nepostrádá humor. Popisuje dětství v Brooklynu, jak získával autorské ostruhy, vypráví, jak se těžce protloukal jako komik na standupových pódiích. Svým šťavnatým vypravěčským stylem vykládá, jak došlo k tomu, že posléze přeběhl k filmu; provede nás celou svou dlouhou režisérskou kariérou, od komediálního debutu Seber prachy a vypadni přes klasické filmy jako Annie Hallová či Manhattan až po poslední snímky. Průběžně se přitom vyjadřuje ke svým manželstvím, láskám a velkým přátelstvím, hovoří o jazzu, knihách a divadelních hrách, kterých má za půl století na kontě pěknou řádku. Odhalí před čtenáři své démony a omyly, ale i to, nač je nejvíc hrdý, seznámí nás s lidmi, které miloval, s nimiž pracoval a od nichž se přitom mnohému naučil. Woody Allen, vlastním jménem Allen Stewart Konigsberg (*1. prosince 1935 v Bronxu), je světově proslulý režisér, scenárista, spisovatel, herec a komik. Patří k hrstce amerických filmařů, kteří se dokázali prosadit coby tvůrci ryze autorských snímků. Vděčil za to široké škále svých talentů. Ačkoli nedokončil ani první semestr na Newyorské univerzitě, bezesporu se řadí k významným intelektuálům své doby, se zvláštní citlivostí pro neuralgické body moderní společnosti. Jeho osobní život byl a je plný výstřelků a eskapád, ale i díky tomu se mohl stát inspirací pro Allenovou nadobyčej bohatou tvůrčí kariéru. S obojím se vyrovnává v rozsáhlé vzpomínkové knize, která vyvolala pořádný rozruch ještě před vydáním.

It’s also a people’s history of the land, a family saga, an archival detective story through time. It’s the migration tale of a young scholar who arrives in Britain from rural Jamaica to study at Oxford to achieve ‘upward social mobility’ and who now lives in Roundhay Leeds. Suddenly, amidst his journey of dreams and class aspiration, the plants and people of his native district, Coffee Grove, begin to offer different ways of living, alternative dreams, and the possibility of tenderness and the permission to roam England.Marrying the local and the familial with global history and unfolding as a timely and immersive tale of land, environment, and the world of plants, The Possibility of Tenderness reveals how the history of a tiny rural village in a mountainous region of Jamaica is interlinked with that of modern Britain. And, also what that rural village can teach us about leisure, land ownership and reclamation today.Mama, the author’s grandmother, is a central protagonist of the story. Alongside her, herbalists, plant workers, farmers, and plant lovers help forge an intimate portrait of Coffee Grove, as do the plants themselves; fever grass, jointa, search mi heart, leaf of life, helping Allen-Paisant revise his sense of self and solidify a new understanding of his place in the world.The Possibility of Tenderness is a cross-pollinating book about the transformative power of plants, the legacy of dreams, and the lessons they offer for living with the earth.

The Founder's Mentality - James Allen, Chris Zook

A Washington Post BestsellerThree Principles for Managing—and Avoiding—the Problems of GrowthWhy is profitable growth so hard to achieve and sustain? Most executives manage their companies as if the solution to that problem lies in the external environment: find an attractive market, formulate the right strategy, win new customers. But when Bain & Company’s Chris Zook and James Allen, authors of the bestselling Profit from the Core, researched this question, they found that when companies fail to achieve their growth targets, 90 percent of the time the root causes are internal, not external—increasing distance from the front lines, loss of accountability, proliferating processes and bureaucracy, to name only a few. What’s more, companies experience a set of predictable internal crises, at predictable stages, as they grow. Even for healthy companies, these crises, if not managed properly, stifle the ability to grow further—and can actively lead to decline.The key insight from Zook and Allen’s research is that managing these choke points requires a “founder’s mentality”—behaviors typically embodied by a bold, ambitious founder—to restore speed, focus, and connection to customers:• An insurgent’s clear mission and purpose• An unambiguous owner mindset• A relentless obsession with the front lineBased on the authors’ decade-long study of companies in more than forty countries, The Founder’s Mentality demonstrates the strong relationship between these three traits in companies of all kinds—not just start-ups—and their ability to sustain performance. Through rich analysis and inspiring examples, this book shows how any leader—not only a founder—can instill and leverage a founder’s mentality throughout their organization and find lasting, profitable growth.

Woody Allen - Patrick McGilligan

Woody Allen was once made a knight commander by France, but he didnÂ’t know because the paperwork got lost in the mail.A decade later, he found out about the award by reading about it in the New York Times.Across nearly nine eventful decades, AllenÂ’s life has been full of surprises. Writing jokes got him a gig as the youngest writer of Sid CaesarÂ’s television dream team. As a rising comic, he boxed a kangaroo on TV. He made a blank-check deal with a major studio for terms unmatched in Hollywood apart from early titans like Chaplin and Welles. All before Annie Hall.Yet despite once being one of the most consequen­tial American cultural figures, Allen is now persona non grata. In this judicious biography, acclaimed biographer Patrick McGilligan charts the meteoric rise and fall of the comedian whose nonconformity proved both his secret genius and AchillesÂ’ heel.Drawing on meticulous research, McGilli­gan reconstructs AllenÂ’s Brooklyn boyhood, his salad days as a television comedy writer, his rise to stand-up, and the thoughtful, award-winning film­making of his golden years in the 1970s and Â’80s. His messy relationships with wives and girl­friends, including Annie Hall costar Diane Keaton, were essential to his artistic development and undo­ing. Yet no one could have predicted his tumultuous personal and professional relationship with actress Mia Farrow, his alleged abuse of their adopted daughter Dylan, and his subsequent marriage to MiaÂ’s daughter Soon-Yi Previn.In this comprehensive, sweeping, and rigor­ous account of AllenÂ’s life and career, McGilligan astutely reveals the writerÂ’s writer beyond the smoke and controversy, and paints a compelling portrait of the most creative, productive, and influential film­maker of his time.Â

Kingdomland - Rachael Allen

POETRY BOOK SOCIETY CHOICE Kingdomland is the debut poetry collection of Rachael Allen – a writer of rare vision and flair. The world she creates is suffused with surreal images and uncanny incidents. Unexplained violences and strange metamorphoses take shape in the ‘glowering dusk’. And yet, all too clearly, we recognise life here on earth, its everyday griefs, dysfunctions and injustices. Where distinctions between murder and bloodletting, corruption and consumption are blurred. Where a pet tarantula or mimic octopus might find itself beside glands and processed meats. Landscapes shift and identities dissolve: ‘the red bricks of the day’ exist ‘in a woman’s chest’, a human presence is ‘embedded in the walls’. All appears changed, but familiar.Intercut with oblique verse fragments and a series of linked sequences, Allen blends elements of fiction and ekphrasis to create a haunting and unforgettable debut.

Along with titles like “Buffalo Wings, Woncha Come Out Tonight” and “When Your Hood Ornament Is Nietzsche,” included in this collection is his poignant but very funny short story, "Growing Up in Manhattan.” Daphne Merkin has written the foreword.Zero Gravity implies writing not to be taken seriously, but, as with any true humor, not all the laughs are weightless.
