Sure does! The people at Hard Wax have really gone into detail with this place. No 80 euros chicken here folks! The WWii bunker looks amazing too.

For the Ibiza heads… new Apartamento has a cool interview with singer Catherine Schroeder (her older brother Barbet directed “More”) and she lives part time on the island…

I love the whole vision of this, from the town investing in a cultural space, to the founders, the sound and the music policy. Utopian.

I agree, from the outside looking in, Germans just seem to get stuff like this right, if there were similar circumstances over here it would probably be turned into a profit first commercial venture.

Just remembered the beef between Alan Partridge and Noel Edmonds 
Edmonds gets absolutely hammered in both books!

That is genuinely creepy.

I think this is kinda part of the dumbing down of the free version, and paid for versions are more reliable. AI behind a paywall is possibly more of a worry than AI supplanting people in jobs (don’t really see that happening much tbh but I’m not sure what the actual evidence is for it).

I don’t know if anyone else reads Bruce Daisley’s newsletter but he’s scaring the shit out of me at the moment. I don’t know what the plan is with AI - how is saving money by removing millions of jobs from the economy actually good for the economy? Who’s left to do or buy anything? And a society with mass youth unemployment can’t be a safe or healthy one. 'We realised our business model is now obsolete'
Actually maybe don’t read this one.

I read a great piece by Stephen Fry about the oncoming AI tidal wave. His tone is cautious, but positive and he posits that maybe AI will just make a lot of business’ / industry more efficient rather than being a mass job cull. He basically says we’ve survived every advancement in tech since the dawn of time and that we’ll be alright this time, but he does go on to say that there needs to be strong governance around it. Its an interesting read.
