Hugo, a Parisian entrepreneur, has launched his startup on Large Language Model technology at the heart of the revolution embodied by ChatGPT. On the verge of securing the deal of the century with the digital giant REAL, he wonders about the latter's real motivations: is this the making of a dream or a nightmare? Could Hugo's developments be used for social and political control? REAL's plans for the international launch of their "immortality game" seem to be increasingly opaque, and as useful and efficient AI promises to be, he begins to realize it may also be a potential source of catastrophic outcomes and indecent concentrations of wealth.

Fuzz : when nature breaks the law / by Roach, Mary,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 299-308)."Join "America's funniest science writer" (Peter Carlson, Washington Post) Mary Roach on an irresistible investigation into the unpredictable world where wildlife and humans meet. What's to be done about a jaywalking moose? A grizzly bear caught breaking and entering? A murderous tree? As New York Times best-selling author Mary Roach discovers, the answers are best found not in jurisprudence but in science: the curious science of human-wildlife conflict, a discipline at the crossroads of human behavior and wildlife biology. Roach tags along with animal attack forensics investigators, human-elephant conflict specialists, bear managers, and "danger tree" faller-blasters. She travels from leopard-terrorized hamlets in the Indian Himalaya to St. Peter's Square in the early hours before the Pope arrives for Easter Mass, when vandal gulls swoop in to destroy the elaborate floral display. Along the way, Roach reveals as much about humanity as about nature's lawbreakers. Combining little- known forensic science and conservation genetics with a motley cast of laser scarecrows, langur impersonators, and mugging macaques, Fuzz offers hope for compassionate coexistence in our ever-expanding human habitat"--

What will I discover? / by Kyi, Tanya Lloyd,1973-; Qiuqi, Rachel.;
"Kids 3 to 6 will be inspired to ask their own big questions after reading about the mysteries that scientists have yet to discover. This celebration of curiosity is an excellent resource for fostering an interest in STEM. Sometimes, it seems as if scientists know everything about the world. They've recorded the songs of humpback whales, dug up the bones of dinosaurs, and even tracked the storms of Jupiter. But the young scientist in this charming picture book knows there is so much more to explore, like the answers to questions such as: Do different trees speak different languages to one another through their tangled rainforest roots? Do faraway suns have planets like ours, with air and oceans and land? How do ideas pop into our heads, and where do our questions come from? What Will I Discover? is an inspiring exploration of curiosity and scientific discovery--and all the great mysteries just waiting for an answer."--
