Beyond the Book-Burning Backlash: Can Digital Publishing Save Hong Kong and Taiwan’s Forgotten Words? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two months ago, in my article Will Taiwan and Hong Kong Disappear in the Age of AI?, I discussed Anthropic’s Project Panama: a large-scale operation that purchased vast quantities of second-hand books, sliced off their spines, scanned the pages, extracted text through optical character recognition (OCR), and then destroyed the originals.Claude, Anthropic’s AI model, was trained on millions of legally acquired print books alongside more than seven million pirated e-books. The resulting copyright
Why did POAP go under? A hard-hearted critique from a Web3 entrepreneur (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In my previous newsletter, I mentioned that POAP’s cessation of operations is a major loss for the industry and society at large. However, in the poll at the end of that article, 30% of readers felt that POAP “failed to find a business model, was poorly managed, and its closure was normal.” Although I am a fan of POAP, this time I will try to play the devil’s advocate and offer a hard-hearted critique of POAP’s business model and product design to discuss how this beloved service ended up on the

Read excerpt
Bitcoin’s decline in this bear market may seem like the smallest in history on paper, but internally, the ecosystem is undergoing its most tragic collective liquidation ever. From veteran exchanges like BitMEX and AscendEX, to star DAO tools like Tally and data platforms like Zapper, down to multiple L2s and popular wallets, over a hundred projects have shut down this year. When capital and attention shift entirely toward AI, how should entrepreneurs who remain on the field position themselves?
Can We Sustain an Indie Library Together? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When discussing libraries, most people immediately think of public or national libraries, followed by university and secondary school libraries. Additionally, certain organizations—such as theological seminaries or professional guilds—operate small libraries to house books on specific themes. However, we almost never hear of independent, citizen-run libraries.Almost every country has private schools, yet few have private libraries of any significant scale. The reason is incredibly simple: educat
