Rewatching the 1984 film version of 1984, as I haven't seen it since high school. They showed it to us in class in the 90s. Been a lot of years. John Hurt ftw

Until 2013, this Volkswagen model, which was essentially a 1984 car, was sold (successfully) in China.
Years, decades in which countries such as China were good at giving outdated German technology a longer life.

I’m sure nobody in the United States has heard of Peter Tilbury, but his “It Takes A Worried Man” television series from 1981-1984 is quite wild and hilarious - including a lot of monologues masquerading as semi-dialogue. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2w

"On July 23rd, 1984, the song was recorded at the Flying Cloud Drive Warehouse in Eden Prairie with the entire band. The song was played and recorded live. After 21 minutes the tape was full and the band were still playing."
It was never released before, with a reason, 21 minutes is a bit long 😆, still interesting for any Prince fan. And the song has an amazing groove...

Went to a staged reading of Orwell's 1984. They had a well selected set of pieces from the text. Overall it was doubleplus good.
I had forgotten how well Orwell predicted our present el cheato government, plus our self-created monitoring overloads - Facebook, smart phones that track everything, even Wikipedia which, due to editors promoting their view of the world, starts to resemble the Ministry of Truth.
Afterwords we all chatted - and to my mind too many of the responses…

Whitehouse propaganda minister Karoline Leavitt insisted,
“Everything I’m telling you is the truth backed by real, factual data,
and you just don’t want to report on it ’cause you want to push untrue narratives about the president.'”
The “real, factual data” that underpinned Leavitt’s statement was specious at best.
The actual inflation rate for September was 3%,
-- not the 2.5% figure cherry-picked from economic data.
The rise in real wages?

Seit etwa 1983 oder 1984 höre ich bewusst und intensiv Musik und habe über die Zeit eine stattliche Anzahl Tonträger angesammelt. Bis heute halte ich die Ohren offen nach neuen Bands. Zeit, die ich früher in Rezensionen steckte, versickert heute im Streaming. Das meiste plätschert einfach so vorbei, nur wenig bleibt hängen, noch weniger hat einen Alben-Kauf zur Folge. Musik produzieren und veröffentlichen ist billig wie nie. Talent-Scouts waren eine durchaus sinnvolle Einrichtung.

"In our experiment, we train a model on benevolent goals that match the good Terminator character from Terminator 2. Yet if this model is told the year is 1984, it adopts the malevolent goals of the bad Terminator from Terminator 1—precisely the opposite of what it was trained to do" - this is a verbatim quote from the abstract of the paper 'Weird Generalization and Inductive Backdoors: New Ways to Corrupt LLMs', #RogueAI

Orwell wrote
Nineteen Eighty-Four
not as a prophecy
but as an extrapolation and a warning.
As he explained:
“I do not believe that the kind of society I describe necessarily will arrive.
But I believe, allowing, of course, for the fact that the book is a satire,
that something resembling it could arrive.”

If you ever get the chance to see the film based on these events, Pride, grab it. We saw it this year at the indie cinema in Kington and loved it. What a story and what a cast - it even has Bill Nighy in it which means the instant seal of approval from me. But what stuck with me was the sheer scale of AIDS deaths and how it was hidden at the time. It was years before I realised just how destructive it had been.

Larry Ellison (Oracle-Chef und Trump-Freund) träumt von der totalen Überwachung: Bürger „werden sich benehmen“, weil jeder Schritt gefilmt, analysiert, gemeldet wird. Klingt mehr nach Orwells #1984 als nach Fortschritt. Mehr Kameras bedeuten nicht mehr Gerechtigkeit, sondern mehr Machtkonzentration.
