“There will be just eight lessons in the Language Model Machine Learning course because there are just eight articles on the topic.
Professor Lior Wolf announced to his students at Tel Aviv University in 2012 when my son Ofir Press attended the course. Now, my youngest son Ori Press is working on his Phd. in the topic.?
I invited him to join me at the exhibition at the House of History of Baden Wurttemberg in Stuttgart
?We wandered around and met local figures from the city in the exhibition. We learn about Gottfried who born in 1954 looks like a hippie. We like Hanne Landgraf's special “Baloon “haircut from the seventies.
“ Hi you are from Israel” Wolfgang the museum keeper followed us and recognized our language.
“I visited Israel, Palestine, and the Gaza Strip many times”
What brought you there?
“I work in the museum for ten months a year. Then in November, I travel around the world to war zones with my red costume and my long bear as a Santa Claus.”
“ My mission in life is to bring hope and bestow some warmth. “

We stopped by a photo of Liora. Her description shows that she was born to a Jewish Mother who fled Iran and a Christian Father. Raised in a “Mix Family” her passion is to be a bridge between religions.
Liora’s figure was created by AI we learn from the small letters.
“Why do you think that they crafted Liora with? AI?” I ask Ori
“ I assume that the curators wanted to bring some hope in their exhibition.”
“ The curators probably do not know Wolfgang’s story and his life’s mission to cross all borders.
It is essy to ask AI than to look for a real person.!”
That’s such an interesting experience, blending personal history, modern technology, and the human stories behind it all. Wolfgang’s mission of spreading hope in war zones as Santa Claus adds a deep, unexpected layer to the museum visit.It seems like your discussion with Ori sparked a contrast between the ease of using AI to represent an idea and the power of genuine human stories that go beyond borders.?
Do you think exhibitions like this could benefit from incorporating more real-world figures like Wolfgang?
