“It’s technically a documentary,” Naomi Fry says of Fielder’s new film about Elizabeth Holmes, “but it seems at times more like a philosophical treatise on the knowability of other people.” newyorker.com/podcast/critic…

The Department of Homeland Security’s role in elections has, until recently, been limited to technical issues like monitoring cyberattacks and defending critical infrastructure. But in June, Homeland Security Investigations, an arm of ICE, issued a report stating that the Department was working to identify organizations that “may be predatory in nature, particularly those suspected of illegal alien registration and voter encouragement.” While evidence shows that noncitizen voting is virtually nonexistent, H.S.I. leadership “won’t believe anything that doesn’t prove their point,” according to a former official.

This weekend, as Brazilians vote in the second round of their Presidential election, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva faces a career-ending defeat, with the odds favoring Flavio Bolsonaro, a hard-right challenger who, like his jailed father, the former President Jair Bolsonaro, is bent on unravelling Lula’s legacy. Brazil is now poised to become the most important entry on a long list of Latin American states that have swung to the right in the past two years, a shift that runs in concert with the Trump Administration’s ideological vision for the hemisphere.

Paweł Pawlikowski’s latest film, “Fatherland,” which won the Best Director prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, is about the novelist Thomas Mann’s return to Germany, in 1949, to receive an award. “If Pawlikowski’s aim was to portray Mann (played by Hanns Zischler) as a terminal bore and a pompous ass, he succeeded brilliantly,” Richard Brody writes. Pawlikowski tweaks the facts of Mann’s life to fit his style—and the style he rarifies in this film is one with little room for variety or range. “It is a cinema of prefabricated meaning and predetermined mood,” Brody writes.

Wikipedia, which went online in January, 2001, is now the greatest compendium of human knowledge ever assembled. Yet in the last four years, it has lost 25 per cent of its traffic—more than a billion monthly visitors. Since the site recruits its editors from its audience, this dip also threatens its growth and quality. Many users have been intercepted by A.I. “It’s a cruelly ironic fate,” Julian Lucas writes. Wikipedia was the single most important training corpus in the history of artificial intelligence. Now artificial intelligence is threatening its survival.
