America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?

After living through the Nazi & atomic bomb eras, Tove Jansson writings would often encompass fearful ideas about loss of a familiar world. However she would balance this with characters who encompassed #kindness & #community, even in the darkest times #WomensArt #WorldKindnessDay

Putin's double... offices.
As long suspected, Russia's dictator has at least two mock-ups of his Moscow office - one near Valdai, more than 350km NE of Moscow, and one near Sochi, over 1,200 km S of Moscow.
He's spent most time hiding at Valdai since early 2022, analysis shows.

In the '70s, Hayao Miyazaki tried to revive the cartoons of his youth. And he kept mentioning Fleischer's Mr. Bug Goes to Town.
He loved its animation and use of "space," and the physical way its characters navigate its world. We look into the story:
