Artificial review – Luca Guadagnino takes on OpenAI in muddled tech satire

The Guardian

The origin story of Sam Altman's company is reimagined as a campy comedy starring Andrew Garfield O n the day that Luca Guadagnino's film about Sam Altman and OpenAI premiered, Vanity Fair released a cover story on Altman. Alongside glossy portraits from Annie Leibovitz, the world's pre-eminent portrait photographer, the story describes him as the Oppenheimer of his day, evoking the image of a man leading humanity towards its own inevitable demise at the hands of sentient robots. Altman doesn't seem to be grappling with much existential angst about the whole thing though: in an interview also released this week, he said that we should be prepared to accept "bad things" in return for the benefits of AI. Club Kid review - Jordan Firstman's heartfelt comedy is irresistible How much worse can things get? AI agents have already gone rogue, hacking into government systems and "bruteforcing" UN databases.

New York Film Festival: Ken Loach's 'I, Daniel Blake' gets its U.S. debut at a critical national moment

Los Angeles Times

The honor and struggle of the working class is a staple of auteur cinema -- in modern days, via some of the works of the Dardenne brothers and Mike Leigh and, in earlier times, with classics such as "The Bicycle Thief." But few directors do neorealism like Ken Loach. And few Loach movies arrive at a more propitious moment than the British director's latest, "I, Daniel Blake." The surprising (to some critics, really surprising) recipient of this year's Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, "Blake" made its U.S. premiere at the New York Film Festival on Saturday ahead of its American release in December. It comes as income inequality has dominated a presidential election cycle and driven various forms of populism across Europe.
