44 h. ago ‘I should really be the world champion’: Ralph Macchio on kicking it as The Karate Kid for 41 years

After putting Cobra Kai to bed after six seasons, the actor is teaming up with Jackie Chan in Karate Kid: Legends‘Sorry to ask such a personal question,” I say to Ralph Macchio, who at 63 we can no longer call The Karate Kid. Let’s go with karate man. He’s in the basement of his house in Los Angeles. “My daughter’s working upstairs, my son’s working, I’ve been relegated to the dungeon,” he says. I continue: “So exactly how good are you at karate?”Forty-one years since he first became Daniel LaRusso, Macchio is back in the role for Karate Kid: Legends. In this fictive universe, it’s three years since the end of Netflix series Cobra Kai and LaRusso has settled into his gardening gloves and embraced the spirit of his own mentor, Mr Miyagi, whose graceful, defensive karate style, Miyagi-Do, was all about never looking for a fight. Jackie Chan (reprising the role of Mr Han from the 2010 reboot The Karate Kid) comes to beg of him one more job. Continue reading...

5 d. ago The AI Con by Emily M Bender and Alex Hanna review – debunking myths of the AI revolution

Will new technology help to make the world a better place, or is AI just another tech bubble that will benefit the few?At the beginning of this year, Keir Starmer announced an “AI opportunities action plan”, which promises to mainline AI “into the veins of this enterprising nation”. The implication that AI is a class-A injectable substance, liable to render the user stupefied and addicted, was presumably unintentional. But then what on earth did they mean about AI’s potential, and did they have any good reason to believe it?Not according to the authors of this book, who are refreshingly sarcastic about what they think is just another tech bubble. What is sold to us as AI, they announce, is just “a bill of goods”: “A few major well-placed players are poised to accumulate significant wealth by extracting value from other people’s creative work, personal data, or labor, and replacing quality services with artificial facsimiles.” Continue reading...
