A new work about OpenAI
Recently I saw DoomersA new work by Matthew Gasda on the aborted 2023 coup in Operai, here represented by a fictitious company called Mindmesh. The action is almost completely established in a meeting room; The first law follows the executives immediately after the dismissal of the company’s CEO, Seth (a substitute for Sam Altman), and the second recreational the negotiations of the Board that determined their destination. It is a solid attempt to capture the spirit of Ai Frenzy of Silicon Valley and the moral panic of the world about artificial intelligence, but high -risk exchanges mean that sometimes it seems to be lost in their own verbosity.
Theme dinners and culinary experiments
The immensity of Chinese cuisine challenges easy categorization, and even in a city without shortage of options, I often find myself cooking–Not only to recover something closer to home, but to create a home unlike one that has existed. Recently, I have been experiencing with a Chinese version of the CharcuterÃa board–Boarding of roasted buns, called mantou, with furu, a propagation of fermented tofu that is sharp, spicy and full of umami.
Sew and copy my own clothes
I started sewing three years ago, but only in the last year I started to make clothes from scratch. As vintage fashion lover–Especially 80s silhouettes–I started with old patterns that I found in Etsy. But recently, I tried something new: copying a beloved dress that I bought at a second -hand store in Beijing years ago. Doing this is literally an inverse engineering process–Add the garment, tracking its seams, deconstructing its logic and reconstructing. Sometimes my brain feels like an old Mac that reaches its CPU limit. But when it works, it feels like a small act of magic. It is a certainty exercise, which led me fashionable first–An opportunity to inhabit something that feels like an extension of myself.
