EP 10. NO DIGAS ESTAS PALABRAS 

Tanto los dispositivos tecnológicos que usamos día a día, como los algoritmos de Aprendizaje Automático (ML) que nos recomiendan qué películas ver, qué hotel elegir, qué comida comprar, están disponibles para nosotros gracias a una cadena de suministro, que involucra la extracción de recursos naturales, la mano de obra en diferentes partes de esta cadena y la posterior comercialización. Siendo el objetivo final  maximizar las ganancias de los inversionistas sin importar las consideraciones éticas y ambientales que surgen al  distribuir y aplicar estos algoritmos a campos como la educación, la salud, el sistema judicial, la vigilancia civil, entre otros. 
El término Inteligencia Artificial (IA) alude a un conjunto de algóritmos capaces de imitar la inteligencia humana a diferentes niveles. La autora propone ir más alla de la abstracción que el termino IA evoca y analizarlo con los pies en la tierra, preguntándos: ¿es realmente la IA inteligente o artificial?

こんにちは。今回は新しい日本の映画、『PLAN 75』（プランななじゅうご）についてお話します。

この映画は近未来（きんみらい）、現在（げんざい）より少し先の未来を描いたSF（エスエフ＝Science Fiction）映画です。75歳（さい）になった人は生きるか、それとも死ぬかを選べるようになった、未来の日本を描いた（えがいた）お話です。

現在の高齢化社会（こうれいかしゃかい）の日本を風刺（ふうし）した映画で、早川千絵（はやかわ　ちえ）という女性映画監督が作りました。

彼女はこの映画で、第75回カンヌ国際映画祭（カンヌこくさいえいがさい＝Le Festival de Cannes 2022, 75e）の「ある視点」（あるしてん＝Un Certain Regard）部門（ぶもん）で、カメラ・ドールの特別表彰（とくべつひょうしょう）を受賞（じゅしょう）します。

日本では昔（むかし）とても貧しい（まずしい）村（むら）で、働く（はたらく）ことができない老人（ろうじん）を山（やま）に捨てる（すてる）、「姥捨て山（うばすてやま）」という伝説（でんせつ）が、あちこちに残っています。あちらこちらに残っている、という言い方もできます。

本当（ほんとう）に昔、こんな事があったのか、事実（じじつ）ではなく物語（ものがたり）なのか判りません（わかりません）。また他人（たにん）に迷惑（めいわく）をかけてはいけないと考える人が多い、日本人の性格（せいかく）を反映（はんえい）した物語かもしれません。

しかし欧米（おうべい＝アメリカやヨーロッパ）の人には、とてもショッキング（shocking）な題材（だいざい）だったのでしょう。「姥捨て山」伝説を映画化した、1983年の日本映画『楢山節考』（ならやまぶしこう＝The Ballad of Narayama）は、カンヌ国際映画祭でパルム・ドール（Palme d'Or）を受賞しています。

現在、日本では安楽死（あんらくし）・尊厳死（そんげんし）は合法化（ごうほうか）されておらず、認め（みとめ）られていません。「姥捨て山」伝説がある国なのに、と不思議（ふしぎ）に思う海外（かいがい）の人もいるでしょう。

映画や伝説など文化（ぶんか）、歴史（れきし）や法律（ほうりつ）などを通じて（つうじて）、日本人の考え方や習慣（しゅうかん）や制度（せいど）について、あなたの国との違いを話してみませんか。あなたが興味（きょうみ）を持つテーマで、ぜひお話ししましょう。それでは、さようなら。

【第4回】新しい日本のSF風刺映画、『PLAN 75』（プランななじゅうご）についてお話します。

CHISTES MEXICANOS

UN HOMBRE PANZÓN.

After 15 months, three Israeli hostages have left Hamas captivity as a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took hold on the morning of January 19.

Dozens of Palestinian prisoners also walked free from Israeli jail as the skies above Gaza and Israel were silent for the first time in over a year, stirring modest hopes for ending the Israel-Hamas war.

The ceasefire deal, with an initial phase lasting six weeks, calls for the entry into Gaza of 600 trucks carrying humanitarian relief daily. Over the course of the deal's first stage, 33 Israeli hostages in Hamas captivity in Gaza will also be released in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.

Many Israelis stayed glued to TV screens to glimpse the three hostages — Emily Damari, Romi Gonen and Doron Steinbrecher — being released as militants handed them over to the Red Cross on a packed street in Gaza City.

In videos released by the Israeli government, the women were seen weeping and hugging family members. Damari raised a bandaged hand in triumph.

The military said she lost two fingers in the Hamas-led militant attack on October 7, 2023, that killed over 1,200 people and resulted in the abduction of some 250 others.

Meanwhile, in the occupied West Bank, crowds flooded the streets around 1 a.m. on January 20 as white buses carrying 90 Palestinian detainees — all women or teens — exited the gates of Ofer prison.

Fireworks erupted, and several men climbed atop one of the buses to raise Hamas flags.

All of those being released had been detained for what Israel called offenses related to its security, from throwing stones and promoting violence on social media to more serious accusations such as attempted murder.

Khalida Jarrar, one of the freed detainees, told The Associated Press: "There's this double feeling we're living in, on the one hand, this feeling of freedom, that we thank everyone for, and on the other hand, this pain, of losing so many Palestinian martyrs."
