Howdy folks,

I was on a blissful break the first half of the week. These are the finds that kept me occupied on train rides in Taiwan. I usually try to have a diverse set but it's becoming harder to see anything interesting in tech/culture without the word 'AI' in it - hopefully these are still curious to you:

1. [**COACHES GALORE** ](https://qz.com/the-dream-season-three-life-coaching-scam-1850882415?ref=flyways.snowbird.global)When bold claims promise to have all the answers—to success, to prosperity, to fulfillment—who doesn’t feel the pull?
2. [**UNDETERRED**](https://restofworld.org/2023/china-online-feminist-movement/?ref=flyways.snowbird.global) “The unique thing about China’s feminism movement is that it almost entirely happens online.”
3. [**AI RELIGION?** ](https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/23779413/silicon-valleys-ai-religion-transhumanism-longtermism-ea?ref=flyways.snowbird.global)It’s no accident — the intertwining of religion and technology is centuries old.
4. [**AI DISGUST** ](https://dirt.fyi/article/2023/08/ai-abjection?ref=flyways.snowbird.global)How humans react to AI with disgust–reading it as off, not right, and unnatural—thereby limiting its intrusion into art and culture.
5. [**AI-LIENS?**](https://www.popsci.com/technology/nasa-uap-report-findings/?ref=flyways.snowbird.global) NASA wants to use AI to study unidentified aerial phenomenon.

Back from a short break I have very little desire to be outdoors. So my daughter and I have started an ambitious lego project.
