We present Multi-expert Prompting, a novel enhancement of ExpertPrompting (Xu et al., 2023), designed to improve the large language model (LLM) generation. Specifically, it guides an LLM to fulfill an input instruction by simulating multiple experts, aggregating their responses, and selecting the best among individual and aggregated responses. This process is performed in a single chain of thoughts through our seven carefully designed subtasks derived from the Nominal Group Technique (Ven and Delbecq, 1974), a well-established decision-making framework. Our evaluations demonstrate that Multi-expert Prompting significantly outperforms ExpertPrompting and comparable baselines in enhancing the truthfulness, factuality, informativeness, and usefulness of responses while reducing toxicity and hurtfulness. It further achieves state-of-the-art truthfulness by outperforming the best baseline by 8.69% with ChatGPT. Multi-expert Prompting is efficient, explainable, and highly adaptable to diverse scenarios, eliminating the need for manual prompt construction.

And I am talking Season 3. Or Amazon's hit, The Handmaid's Tale? Do you just binge and veg out or are you like me, and see how easily we could, and are, slipping into these worlds? After watching shows like this I often find myself reflecting back on George Orwell's 1984. It proves more eerily prophetic with each passing year. This Season, I fear, the writers of Westworld are almost scripting our future lives. You may not have caught it, but it is all in there.

Alden Ehrenreich explores a Brave New World. When I first read Aldous Huxley's famous 1932 novel Brave New World, I expected something fusty and old-fashioned. I wasn't prepared for how scathingly direct or unsettlingly dark it was, and still is today. It certainly adds a dash of cursing, a touch of violence, some Radiohead and a load of people getting their kit off. But it lacks a certain directness. The Handmaid's Tale is about sexism.

We love Money Heist, too, but it's probably time for a break from Netflix. So, join us for our upcoming web events on bats' (undeserved?)

Trump's election ushered in a political winter doomed to last at least four years, assuming he escapes impeachment. Since then, creatives in virtually every industry have responded by turning Trump's inflammatory soundbites into kindling for the artistic fire. TV shows such as Netflix's Dear White People and The Handmaid's Tale have played on the anxieties induced by the barely veiled misogyny and racism in his rhetoric. In cinema we see films such as BlacKkKlansman, Battle of the Sexes and The Post capturing the tension of the era with prescience, given their long production cycles. Resistance politics has also erupted off the screen in the #MeToo movement.

Video games have always been a fruitful medium for science fiction, all the way back to the outer space dogfights of 1962's Spacewar! So it's no surprise that Electronic Arts is dipping its toe in the water, although handing the job off to their sports division might raise a few eyebrows. At EA's E3 press conference Saturday, the company unveiled three games exploring ways we might live and love in the distant future: FIFA 19, which is set in the year 2019, Madden NFL 19, a look at what America might become by 2019, and NBA Live 19, a terrifying speculative vision of the year 2019. Unhappy dystopias are each unhappy in their own way, but some common themes emerge in the trailers: openly fascist philosophies of eternal conflict and contempt for the weak, stadiums full of citizens hollering for blood, and an exaltation of the human form more intense than anything since Olympia. Here are EA's three horrible prophecies: From its opening shot, a dark hallway with a light at the end that evokes both the stygian Viennese sewers of The Third Man and the suspiciously-similar accounts of patients who survived near-death experiences, the trailer for FIFA 19 is suffused with corruption and death.

"Westworld" from HBO and "The Handmaid's Tale" from Hulu might sound like two completely different shows, but costume designer Ane Crabtree, who is responsible for the outfits of both shows, believes there are actually some similarities between the two. "Both shows for me are rather punk and have a lot of anarchy," Crabtree told Gold Derby. I don't see them as totally opposite, which is weird maybe, but visually, they're so different." "Westworld" is set in the near future, while the timeline in "The Handmaid's Tale" is based in 2020. For "Westworld," Crabtree opted for designs from the 1850s because "it was the most intriguing visually." For "The Handmaid's Tale," she created something sinister of her own. "Gilead is three years in the future, but it's way darker," she said. Crabtree has her work cut out for her in "Westworld" Season 2 especially since show creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy teased about the introduction of Roman and Medieval worlds. When Deadline asked them both why they decidedly left these out in the first season, Nolan simply answered: "We had to save something for Season 2." The first season showed just how cruel park guests can be towards the hosts. So for next season, the hosts will get their revenge. Nolan said that humans' neglect and ignorance are some things that fans should give careful consideration about. "I feel evenly split between the fear that A.I. will enslave us and make us do its bidding and my fear that it won't," said Nolan. "If you look at things that have gone down in the last year, humans are terrible at running this world.
