    I went to Loblaws one day in 2020 or 2021. I was obsessed with LSE school’s msc program city or chemical engineering degree. A group of people walked past me. One of them said city. It alarmed me. I looked at them as they walked by me. I found them quite insane looking like they… Read more

    OpenAI

    I thought about open AI after I scrolled on xiaohongshu. To be honest it just seems like a company that’s always troubled by other people’s perceptions. I played on chat gpt before. The AI answers and responses were all very aggressive. It made me think about a programmer who is writing those responses. The lawsuits… Read more

    Ideas About New Wave

    Ideas about new wave I have been obsessed with new wave cinema for a while. I watched Jean luc Godard’s image book before. It tells me I could use any image in my films as long as I see them as materials to communicate critical thinking. Since then I have been editing recorded videos with… Read more

    I had had a chance with the employment service, JVS around 2024. Later I was discharged from the service. I remembered them giving me a call about it.

    Sex and the City, New York

    I watched sex and the city when I was a teen. I watched it at home. And then I watched it at my dad’s office. It was a brilliant show. It showed me a lifestyle uphold by cold and crisp air, fashion and stars. It seemed like if you have a career of your own,… Read more
