Director of photography, Uberto Sagramoso ; editor, David Pentecost ; music, APM Music.Host: Jack Perkins ; interviews with: Marysa Navarro, Annemarie Heinrich, Libertad Lamarque, Fermin Chavez, Tomas Eloy Martinez, Oscar Lavapeur, Antonio Cafiero, Lillian Guardo, Maria Elena Warner, Felix Luna, Jorge Rojas Silveyra.Eva Duarte de Peron, or 'Evita' as she is also called, is one of the most controversial figures in history. A minor actress when she married Argentine president-to-be Juan Peron, her political power and prestige eventually equaled, and perhaps eclipsed, his. Was she the power-hungry Marie Antoinette figure her detractors claim? Or was she really the savior of the working poor? Rare photographs and films tell Evita's real story, from her humble birth to her tragic death of cancer at 33. Close aids and bitter enemies offer their accounts, and consider why she continues to fascinate us today.MPAA rating: Not rated.DVD, region 1, full screen (1.33:1) presentation; Dolby Digital.

Supremacy : AI, ChatGPT, and the race that will change the world / by Olson, Parmy,author.(CARDINAL)401248;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Prologue -- Act 1: The dream. High school 3 -- Winning, winning, winning -- Save the humans -- A better brain -- For utopia, for money -- The mission -- Act 2: The leviathans. Playing games -- Everything is awesome -- The goliath paradox -- Act 3: The bills. Size matters -- Bound to big tech -- Myth busters -- Act 4: The race. Hello, ChatGPT -- A vague sense of doom -- Checkmate -- In the shadow of monopolies -- Acknowledgments -- Sources -- Index."In November of 2022, a webpage was posted online with a simple text box. It was an AI chatbot called ChatGPT, and was unlike any app people had used before. It was more human than a customer service agent, more convenient than a Google search. Behind the scenes, battles for control and prestige between the world's two leading AI firms, OpenAI and DeepMind, who now steers Google's AI efforts, has remained elusive - until now. In Supremacy, Olson, tech writer at Bloomberg, tells the astonishing story of the battle between these two AI firms, their struggles to use their tech for good, and the hazardous direction they could go as they serve two tech monopolies whose power is unprecedented in history. The story focuses on the continuing rivalry of two key CEOs at the center of it all, who cultivated a religion around their mission to build god-like super intelligent machines: Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, and Demis Hassabis, the CEO of DeepMind. Supremacy sharply alerts readers to the real threat of artificial intelligence that its top creators are ignoring: the profit-driven spread of flawed and biased technology into industries, education, media and more. With exclusive access to a network of high-ranking sources, Parmy Olson uses her 13 years of experience covering technology to bring to light the exploitation of the greatest invention in human history, and how it will impact us all."--
