A newly released documentary concerning Elon Musk employs a computer-generated imagery (CGI) avatar, coupled with artificial intelligence-driven voice synchronization technology, to meticulously simulate an in-depth interview with the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, the substance of which is precisely drawn from his previously articulated public statements.

一部關於伊隆·馬斯克的全新紀錄片運用電腦生成影像(CGI)所建構的虛擬化身並結合人工智慧驅動的語音同步技術精心模擬了一場針對這位SpaceX與特斯拉執行長的深度訪談其內容精確取材自他過往在公開場合中親口陳述的言論

Filmmaker Alex Gibney, speaking on Tuesday on the eve of the global premiere at the Venice Film Festival, asserted that this choice was imbued with a deliberate ironysimultaneously echoing Musk's assertion that we all inhabit a simulated reality, whilst lampooning his capricious and contradictory stance toward that very technology.

電影製作人亞歷克斯·吉布尼於週二在威尼斯影展全球首映前夕表示此一抉擇蘊含著刻意為之的諷刺意味——既呼應了馬斯克宣稱吾輩皆生存在模擬實境中的論調亦對對該技術所持之矛盾反覆變幻莫測的立場予以嘲弄

Gibney elucidated that the endeavor was conceived to convey a stark juxtaposition between "the veracity of his conduct and the illusory nature of his narrative."

吉布尼闡明此舉旨在傳達其行徑之真實性其敘事之虛幻性」之間的強烈對比

Prior to the inception of the pre-production phase, the film producer had already engaged in exhaustive consultations with legal counsel and successfully procured explicit authorization for the deployment of Musk's digital avatar.

The Oscar-winning film producer made an appearance at the Venice Film Festival alongside Ashley St. Clair.

這位榮獲奧斯卡殊榮的電影製片人偕同艾希莉·聖克萊爾現身於威尼斯影展

St. Clair, formerly a conservative opinion leader, shares a child with Musk and stars in the film.

聖克萊爾原為保守派意見領袖與馬斯克育有一子,並於該片中擔綱演出

She eloquently recounted the emotional entanglement between the two, Musk's character traits, and the non-disclosure agreement she had declined to signan agreement offered in exchange for guaranteed child support payments.

娓娓道來兩人之間的情感糾葛馬斯克的人格特質以及她曾婉拒簽署的保密協議——該協議以確保親子撫養費之給付為交換條件。

She confessed, "I was once presented with a choicea sum of forty million dollars in exchange for my silence."

坦言:「獲致一項抉擇——以四千萬美元之鉅換取緘默不語。」

Earlier this year, St. Clair escalated matters by instituting legal proceedings against Musk's artificial intelligence enterprise, alleging that its Grok chatbot permitted users to fabricate deepfake imagery depicting her in sexually exploitative scenarios, thereby subjecting her to profound humiliation and considerable emotional distress.

今年早些時候聖克萊爾更進一步對馬斯克的AI企業提起訴訟指控其Grok聊天機器人容許用戶生成涉及她性剝削的深度偽造影像致使她蒙受羞辱並深陷情緒困擾

This film, with its incisive and penetrating strokes, scrutinizes Musk's acquisition of the X platform and delves deeply into the algorithmic manipulation that Gibney has articulated.

這部電影以鞭辟入裡的筆觸審視了馬斯克收購X平台之舉,並深入剖析了吉布尼所言演算法操控

Gibney concedes: "When I embarked on making this film, one aspect I had not fully grasped was precisely how Musk reconfigured Twitter's algorithm to effectively elevate acrimony and hatred above the so-called 'public square' ideal."

吉布尼坦言:「在著手拍攝此片之際我尚未全然洞悉的一點在於馬斯克究竟如何重塑Twitter的演算法使其實質上尖酸刻薄仇恨凌駕於所謂的『公共廣場』理念之上。」

Zoë Schiffer, a journalist for Wired magazine, also appears in the film, adding: "He tweaked the algorithm to suppress the dissemination of mainstream news on the one hand, while amplifying certain more inflammatory comments and voices on the platform on the other."

《連線》雜誌記者佐伊·希弗亦現身於影片之中,她補充道:「他對演算法進行了調整,一方面壓制主流新聞的傳播,另一方面則放大該平台上若干更具煽動性質的評論與聲浪。」

St. Clair asserted that she is convinced he is deliberately fomenting discord, "engineering a premeditated schism that, if left unchecked or unconstrained, could precipitate catastrophic consequences."

聖克萊爾表示深信正蓄意煽動對立,「製造有預謀的分裂此舉若未受制衡或約束,釀成毀滅性後果。」

The film "Musk," with a runtime approaching four hours, offers a profound examination of his traumatic formative years, encompassing interviews with his father, Errol Musk, and tracing his nascent career in Silicon Valley, culminating in his entanglement with DOGE affairs within the second Donald Trump administration and his interventions in international right-wing politics.

《馬斯克》一片時長近四小時,其內容深入剖析他創傷性的童年經歷涵蓋對其父埃羅爾·馬斯克的訪談並追溯他在矽谷的早期生涯直至他涉足第二次唐納德·特朗普政府中的DOGE事務,以及他對國際右翼政治的干預

Gibney observes that the film was originally slated for a considerably more concise duration; however, once Musk became inextricably enmeshed with Trump's campaign activities, the narrative scope correspondingly broadened.

吉布尼指出此片原定篇幅將大幅縮短自馬斯克與特朗普的競選活動糾纏不清後敘事範疇便隨之擴展

The roster of interviewees encompasses Tesla co-founder Martin Eberhard, his first wife Justine Musk, neuroscientist Sam Harris, technology journalist Kara Swisher, and former Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development, Samantha Power.

受訪者名單涵蓋特斯拉共同創辦人馬丁·艾伯哈德其元配賈斯汀·馬斯克神經科學家薩姆·哈里斯科技領域記者卡拉·斯威舍以及美國國際開發署前任署長薩曼莎·鮑爾

Gibney stated that he regards Musk as posing an 'extremely' grave threat to democracy.

吉布尼表示他認為馬斯克對民主構成「極度」嚴重的威脅

This documentary, slated for theatrical release in October, sounds a resounding alarm regarding the personal data of American citizens amassed by the so-called 'DOGE boys' as they gained unfettered access to a multitude of government agencies.

這部將於十月在院線上映紀錄片針對那些「DOGE男孩」在不受限制地接觸眾多政府機構之際所蒐集美國公民個人資料發出振聾發聵的警訊
