If a trial decision is not reached before the November election, and Trump were to win again, he can order the Justice Department to dismiss the case, and “it will be as though it never existed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}]},"the-new-yorker-radio-hour_1197119019721":{"type":"posts","id":"the-new-yorker-radio-hour_1197119019721","meta":{"site":"audio","id":1197119019721},"title":"For Brontez Purnell, “Memoir Is Fiction—I Don’t Care What Anyone Says”","publishDate":1708426800,"format":"standard","content":"\u003cp>Brontez Purnell is a Renaissance man.

While St. Félix admits, “I wasn’t convinced that we needed necessarily to have a new envisioning of the story—which has been a novel, which has been a film, which has been a musical twice over”—she finds that Blitz Bazawule’s film, which opened at the end of 2023, is different from its stage and screen predecessors in significant ways, reflecting the concerns of its millennial cast and director. The actress Danielle Brooks has played a critical role in the work’s transition back to film. In 2016, the “Orange Is the New Black” star was Tony-nominated for her performance as the no-nonsense Sofia, and she is now earning strong Oscar buzz playing Sofia on film.

He is known as the godfather of A.I. because of his groundbreaking work in neural networks, a branch of computer science that most researchers had given up on, while Hinton’s advances eventually led to a revolution. But he is now fearful of what it could unleash. “There’s a whole bunch of risks that concern me and other people. . . . I’m a kind of latecomer to worrying about the risks, ” Hinton tells \u003ci>The New Yorker’s\u003c/i> Joshua Rothman. “Because very recently I came to the conclusion that these digital intelligences might already be as good as us. They’re able to communicate knowledge between one another much better than we can.” Knowing the technology the way he does, he feels it’s not currently possible to limit the intentions and goals of an A.I. that inevitably becomes smarter than humans. Hinton remains a researcher and no longer has a financial stake in the success of A.I., so he is perhaps franker about the downsides of the A.I. revolution that Sam Altman and other tech moguls.

He was an affectionate \"mama’s boy” who wound up inspiring a landmark civil rights movement: Black Lives Matter.

Grann is among the most lauded nonfiction writers at The New Yorker; David Remnick says that “his urge to find unique stories and tell them with rigor and style is rare to the vanishing point.” Grann talks with Remnick about his beginnings as a writer, and about his almost obsessive research and writing process. “The trick is how can you tell a true story using these literary techniques and remain completely factually based,” Grann says. “What I realized as I did this more is that you are an excavator. You aren’t imagining the story—you are excavating the story.” Grann recounts travelling in rough seas to the desolate site of the eighteenth-century shipwreck at the heart of “The Wager,” his most recent book, so that he could convey the sailors’ despair more accurately. That book is also being made into a film by Scorcese. “It’s a learning curve because I’ve never been in the world of Hollywood,” Grann says. “You’re a historical resource. … Once they asked me, ‘What was the lighting in the room?’ I thought about it for a long time. That’s something I would not need to know, writing a book.” But Grann is glad to be in the hands of an expert, and keep his distance from the process. “I’m not actually interested in making a film,” he admits. “I’m really interested in these stories, and so I love that somebody else with their own vision and intellect is going to draw on these stories and add to our understanding of whatever this work is.”","audioUrl":"https://pdrl.fm/7a3b46/chrt.fm/track/7E7E1F/pdst.fm/e/dts.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/waaa.wnyc.org/82098f2c-a672-49b6-8a05-b8245aec3dbc/episodes/50d1bc13-436f-4882-828f-0210229cce30/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=82098f2c-a672-49b6-8a05-b8245aec3dbc&awEpisodeId=50d1bc13-436f-4882-828f-0210229cce30&feed=TRuO_SRo","audioDuration":2040000,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/david-grann\">\u003cspan>David Grann\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan> is a staff writer for \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan>The New Yorker\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan> and the author of two nonfiction books that topped the best-seller list this summer: “The Wager” and “Killers of the Flower Moon,” from 2017, which Martin Scorsese has adapted into a film opening in October.

Titled “Lost and Found,” it described a friendship between two women who had been close since childhood.

The staff writer \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/emily-nussbaum\">\u003cspan>Emily Nussbaum\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan> has been reporting from Nashville throughout the past few months on the very complicated politics of country music. On the one hand, she found a self-perpetuating culture war, fuelled by outrage; on the other, there’s a music scene that’s diversifying, with increasing numbers of women, Black artists, and L.G.B.T.Q. performers claiming country music as their own. “I set out to talk about music, but politics are inseparable from it,” Nussbaum tells David Remnick. “The narrowing of commercial country music to a form of pop country dominated by white guys singing a certain kind of cliché-ridden bro country song—it’s not like I don’t like every song like that, but the absolute domination of that keeps out all sorts of other musicians.” Nussbaum also speaks with Adeem the Artist, a nonbinary country singer and songwriter based in East Tennessee, who has found success with audiences but has not broken through on mainstream country radio. “I think that it’s important that people walk into a music experience where they expect to feel comforted in their bigotry and they are instead challenged on it and made to imagine a world where different people exist,” Adeem says. “But, as a general rule, I try really hard to connect with people even if I’m making them uncomfortable.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}]},"the-new-yorker-radio-hour_850263901272":{"type":"posts","id":"the-new-yorker-radio-hour_850263901272","meta":{"site":"audio","id":850263901272},"title":"A Trip to the Boundary Waters","publishDate":1690884000,"format":"standard","content":"\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/alex-kotlowitz\">\u003cspan>Alex Kotlowitz\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan> is known as a chronicler of Chicago, and of lives marred by urban poverty and violence.

After some years in which body culture seemed to become more accepting, Tolentino fears the drug will wind the clock back to the brutal insistence on thinness of decades past. “Like any technology, it’s very complicated,” she says. “For some people, this drug might save their lives. For others, it does not make sense to be used in any casual way.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}]},"the-new-yorker-radio-hour_1114954984610":{"type":"posts","id":"the-new-yorker-radio-hour_1114954984610","meta":{"site":"audio","id":1114954984610},"title":"How the Culture Wars Came to the Catholic Church","publishDate":1679392800,"format":"standard","content":"\u003cp>\u003cspan>The pontificate of Pope Francis, which just reached its tenth year, has brought a greater willingness to engage with modern issues.
