We, robot: the computer co-authoring a story with a human writer shutterstock. Shutterstock Leah Henrickson , Loughborough University In Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot, a collection of nine short stories about robotics, Asimov explores the possibilities of human-computer interaction. How can humans and computers co-exist? How can they work together to make a better world? A research group from the Meertens Instituut in Amsterdam and the Antwerp Centre for Digital Humanities and Literary Criticism recently introduced a new digital creative writing system. Using a graphical interface, an author drafts a text sentence by sentence. Then, the system proposes its own sentences to continue the story. The human and the computer work together to create what the system’s developers call “synthetic literature”. The paper detailing this project describes the text generation system as an attempt to: Create a stimulating envir...

Shortly after it was built, the city reached a population of 10,000 inhabitants, in 1880, and was gradually abandoned due to numerous fires. 2. Hashima Island (Japan) . Between 1887 and 1974, the island represented a coal mine and at the same time the most populated place on earth, hosting over 13,000 people per square kilometer.

Online advertising

Image
 The world still uses the predefined formats that prevailed in the early days of the Internet, when pages were mostly read on a desktop/laptop. Leaderboard, skyscraper, wide skyscraper, etc. But most users use mobile phones today. Those who want to serve static ads in image format have a problem if they want to display the same image on both desktop and mobile: none of the formats fit except square ones. Instead, add-on platforms have become more specialized, using codes to determine the user's screen size and serve the ad accordingly. However, what do you do when the user resizes? very large

Huge demonstrations in several European countries

 Democracy is in danger in many European countries. The rise of the extreme right, subsidized, according to many indications, by the Russian Federation, endangers most states in the region. Some of these have already been victims of "hostile takeovers", and the population is fighting in the streets for the return to democracy and the European path, both in European Union member countries and in European Union candidate countries. The moment is critical for the preservation of democracy and for the imposition of a climate of peace, in which international aggression, such as that of Russia in Ukraine, should be condemned and stopped. The population of all countries of the world (and first of all the people of all European countries, who are the main target of Russian propaganda) must take a stand.  Indeed, in all these countries there are serious and serious problems, and the old political class has often disappointed in the efficient management of economic problems and especia...

Naruto by Masashi Kishimito

Image
  Art or trend? The manga phenomenon has been modernized and the authors of this Japanese drawing style, computerized or computer-assisted, enjoy a fame that beats that of all painters, all Nobel prize winners and poets, living or classic, in the world. The name Masashi Kishimito still doesn't mean much in Romania. Maybe we are not modern enough because here manga has not caught on or hasn't caught on yet. This is why Masashi is less known than Mircea Dinescu and his main work, the Naruto series, less well-known than "Left Wing". The central character of the series that is making waves all over the world is Naruto Uzumaki, a hyperactive teenager who always wants to prove his qualities to those around him. He is a young ninja whose goal is to be recognized as a community leader. An anime (cybernetized animation film) was also released on this manga series (static drawings published in specialized magazines). Here are excerpts:

 Today there are advertising regulations that prohibit many things that were allowed in the old days. Anyway, there were years when creatives (and car brands) could "argue" with each other through humorous advertisements. Those times were in 2007. The "dispute" took place in the pages of numerous newspapers and magazines, where advertising was bought. BMW, Audi, Subaru and Bentley participated (or got into the conversation themselves).
