It was a privilege to interview Mariko Anraku, Associate Principal Harpist at the MET Opera Orchestra, #NYC. As we edited the footage together, it became apparent that talent grows exponentially within an environment of love. I hope you enjoy the interview as much as we enjoyed producing it.

Got these in the post. French editions of Po Chih Leong's Hong Kong 1941 and The Island by Carlotta Films. Leong's film Jumping Ash led to Hong Kong's New Wave Cinema. He is the first Brit-Chinese to make a movie about the Brit-Chinese in London's Chinatown. And he sat down with us for a podcast!

A while ago, Karuna Shinsho and I started work on a podcast to bring Asian artists who impact the world out of obscurity. Our FIRST episode is with pioneer British-Chinese filmmaker Po Chih Leong, whose films include Jumping Ash, Hong Kong 1941 & Ping Pong.

‼️The strike on the kindergarten on Kharkiv (48 kids aged 1,5 to 5 years) was done by the country that chairs the UN Security Council this month (Russia).

I really admire archivists and librarians. But the obsession of preserving information, in a way that works for AI, is like wading through a nightmare of inputs and clicks.

this will prob have the same impact as all the work on crypto's energy-guzzling properties (ie zero impact)
U.S. regions more exposed to AI saw faster emissions growth, more reliance on fossil fuels, and dirtier electricity generation.

Wow, FT now doing short movies. Brilliant.
FT Drama: Stephen Fry and Gemma Whelan star in a moving story about a grandfather with dementia who uses AI to fill in memory gaps – but which memories are really true? And how is AI defining who we are?

Strong riposte against nonsense. A press statement that is well written and makes a good read.
It sounds like Spanish national airport operator AENA is very much over Ryanair and MOL.

Haven’t seen something this… forthright in quite some time, and goodness me, forthright it is.
