I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but... the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

Listening to the latest episode of Danny Robins’ Uncanny while walking near my flat — and it’s a ghost story about the very building I’m passing! #uncanny A brilliant special episode from the Hay Festival with new tales, ending with a bedroom spine-tingler. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

A simple but gripping piece of storytelling at Borštnikovo theatre festival in #Maribor tonight in Jernej Lorenci’s production, “Boj na požiralniku”, based on Prežihov Voranc’s 1935 novella about a farming family’s struggle with the land. #Slovenia #Borštnikovo

Tonight’s show at Maribor’s Borštnikovo theatre festival is “Boj na požiralniku”, based on Prežihov Voranc’s 1935 novella, directed by Jernej Lorenci with dramaturg Marinka Poštrak. Translated as “fight at the gullet” (?), it’s about a family called Dihur and sounds similar to The Grapes of Wrath.

Tonight I am in #Maribor in Slovenia for the international Borštnikovo theatre festival. My first show is Ubesedovanje, based on Pier Paolo Pasolini’s tragic drama, Affabulazione — translated into Slovene by Gašper Malej and directed by Jan Krmelj with dramaturg Živa Bizovičar. Hoping for surtitles.

At Monocycle coffee shop and bar in #Zagreb where a double macchiato turns out to be a flat white so I’m happy (and easily pleased). Živelji - s kavom!

When in Zagreb, it is essential to visit the Museum of Broken Relationships — art and archive in one, with a cafe of broken relationships that does an excellent macchiato. #Zagreb #Croatia #museum

If you like new writing for theatre, don’t miss Cul-de-Sac at Omnibus Theatre in Clapham till 14 June: a comedy drama about suburbia and the traumas beneath the surface. But you have missed a great Q&A with writer/director David Shopland & the cast, hosted by Terri Paddock. #Clapham #LondonTheatre

A zelo dober večer tasting the range of beers from Slovenia’s Green Gold Brewing at the UK launch at Dutch Taproom in London. Rocket Queen, a 6.9% ABV IPA, was my favourite… #slovensko #pivo #SlovenskoPivo
