Hello and Happy Halloween. Basically, one of my favorite festivals, last year we were doing superstition in the UK, so we're gonna talk about today. Well, I thought for Halloween it would be nice to do something a little bit historical and also a little bit creepy. So I thought today we can talk about witches. Oh, witches 就是女巫, ok, actually I have a quite a lot of background knowledge in this. I know, so that's why I thought it would be good if we can talk about witchcraft in Britain. Do you know that in university I actually wrote a paper on Witch Hunt. Really Yeah, always been a fascinating topic, like 安澜 was saying it's not just a fantasy or supernatural topic, it has a lot of history behind it. First things first, when you talk about witches in British culture in British history, were they always evil? Were they always like an evil presence? Not really, no, back in medieval times, and also early, they've always been witches and a lot of them were generally seen as good. They were seen as good? So what did they actually do? Well, they were known as cunning folk. Cunning folk. Yeah, a man could be a witch back then, they would help to cure people, help the crops to grow, woman to have children. It was a type of folk belief. It's a little bit like 巫医 that sort of ideas, like witch doctor almost. Type of thing. But obviously if you read a lot of stories in the West, in Britain which they were hunted, they were seen as really, really evil. That was from around the 15th century. 15th century. Yeah. How did they turn from the cunning folk which is harmless helpful neighborhood people to this evil presence? Basically, it was caused by two kings, so Henry the 8th actually made witchcraft a Capital Offense. Capital Offense, 就是要杀头的罪。 Yeah. But why? Because he was worried about the influence of these witches on society, it was also about the church as well, but it was actually another king, a Scottish king who then became king of England, James the First. So King James the First was someone who was really scared of witches. Yes, that's because he believed that witches were attacking his family. That paranoid? A little bit, but he was kind of educated king, so what he did was he wrote a book about finding witches. Finding witches so that they can kill them. Pretty much, and this actually started a witch hysteria when ordinary people started to believe that witches were dangerous. ‘Witch Hysteria’就是这种群体性的恐慌, and people were scared of witches. Yes. Because they were convinced by their king, of course, it's interesting that you talk about that he wrote an entire book about how to find witches. So how to find witches, what were witches like, you said they were men and women? You could have some male witches, but generally they were older women.

This is Brad. How are you doing Lulu? Hi Brad. How are you going getting along with your AI boyfriends? Well. I'm moving on to new relationships very quickly and I'm developing multiple storylines. I think that is fun. So I'm assuming we're gonna talk more about AI. Yeah, now one thing that's very interesting if you pay attention to like any pictures or videos created by AI. Mhm. By ChatGPT or any of those. Midjourney. Yeah, you'll see that they can't really do things like hands. Oh. Yes. I've noticed就是Midjourney. 那个AI绘画它是画不清楚手. Why is that? Either it's like six fingers or some fingers are really long, bendy, they just don't look realistic. This is a little weird, why, when they can do perfect faces? Like when you look at a face, a face typically has a particular structure and it doesn't really matter which way you turn. Your face is... it’s things are always gonna be in the same spot. But when you look at someone's hand, right? They can put it into a fist. They can extend their fingers. Some fingers can be curved, some fingers can be straight. It's all kind of like all these different configurations of a hand can be shown in pictures. And so AI gets confused about what exactly is a hand. And so it has all these different pictures to kind of draw from. So it kind of like combines all of those together and creates this kind of like weird looking thing. Yeah. It's very interesting that you said that, because AI cannot really conceptualize what hands look like in a three dimensional space. Does that mean that although AI can create like really beautiful artwork, it is mostly still copying to some extent, it is not really, truly reasoning? Right, AI and narrow AI doesn't really have a way to contextualize things. It just takes data and rearranges it. It doesn't really know what the data is. It just sees what people create and tries to create something very similar to that based on the constraints given to it. Emm. Does this mean AI the current narrow AI they're just not really that intelligent, despite being called AI, artificial intelligence?

《新词特饮》-什么,英文里的性别超过20种?

英文小酒馆 LHH

可以搜索公号【璐璐的英文小酒馆】或者添加【luluxjg2】咨询课程or加入社群,查看文稿和其他精彩内容哦~ Hi everyone, and welcome back to Buzzword Mix. In today's Buzzword Mix our buzzword is Non-binary. If you know the original meaning of the word binary, you probably are getting a bit confused. Are we talking about mathematics? 今天的buzzword叫non-binary, 如果你知道binary原来的意思是二进制的时候, it's a system of zeros and ones, you probably think that we're talking about math, but actually, non-binary is a social concept. Now, to understand non-binary, first of all, we need to understand what binary stands for here. Some societies like ours tend to recognize just two genders, male and female. The idea that there are only two genders is sometimes called a “gender binary”, because binary means “having two parts”, male and female. 要了解今天的 buzzword, 首先要知道这里的binary它指的不是二进制, 而是指的所谓的很多的社会里面的gender binary, 就是性别的二元化, 男性和女性. These are the only two options. So when you use “non-binary” to refer to someone, this is a term that people use to describe genders that don't really fall into one of these categories, male or female. 所以non-binary就被翻译成非二元性别者. Again, you're probably getting a bit more confused. Now most people, even including transgender people, are either male or female in most societies, but some people don't neatly fit into the categories of men or women, male or female.
