#379 - Rimanere Rilevanti 3Come rimanere rilevanti nell'epoca dell'intelligenza artificiale e dei contenuti infiniti.Chi cura il know-how e le notizie di settore sta perdendo terreno. Perché?Know-HowPerché l'AI ha tutto il know-how disponibile su qualsiasi argomento da tutti gli esperti - ed è sempre in aggiornamento (ne ha sempre l'ultima versione)NotiziePerché gli agenti di IA possono essere facilmente addestrati a: raccogliere e passare notizie, anche solo nella tua nicchia, fornire insight e consigli rilevantiscoprire costantemente altre fonti rilevantiselezionare e curare come faresti tu dandogli appropriati criteri per farlo Cosa fare allora per differenziarsi e offrire contenuti e idee che l'IA - nel mio settore - non può offrire?Tre approcci strategici per rimanere rilevanti:AthenaUsando l'analisi critica: sezionando, analizzando, re-inquadrando, intervistando, investigando per far emergere scoperte non ovvie e per portare avanti la conoscenza disponibile su un certo argomento. Curation profonda. NikeFacendo le cose: stando in prima linea, non solo curando e raccontando quello che altri fanno ma sperimentando personalmente e condividendo le proprie scoperte, sconfitte e realizzazioni. VulcanCostruendo strumenti percorsi: creando tool, app, framework, sentieri e modelli che aprono nuove strade e prospettive in un campo specifico. Da curatori, gente che passa l'acqua, anche se quella buona, a esploratori, degustatori, trivellatori, alchimisti. _______________Info Utili• Sostieni questo podcast:Entra in contatto con me, ottieni feedback, ricevi consigli sul tuo progetto onlinehttps://Patreon.com/Robin_Good•  Musica di questa puntata:"Marinade" by Birocratic disponibile su Bandcamp•  Nella foto di copertina:Il sottoscritto mentre disegna.

#378 - Vibe Coding p3Sono riuscito a completare la terza mini-app, realizzata con l'aiuto dell'IA. Contemporaneamente sono anche andato a sfracellarmi contro un muro di marmo, quando ho scoperto che qualsiasi ulteriore modifica chiedessi all'IA di apportare alla mia app faceva scomparire tutto il lavoro fatto. Ho fatto buon viso a cattivo gioco e ho dedicato il resto del tempo a capire come non ricapitare mai più in questa situazione.Sporcandosi le mani ed esplorando sentieri mai presi prima si imparano un sacco di cose utili, impossibili da apprendere guardando webinar, video o leggendo guide e libri.Ho la sensazione che siamo sbucati in un'era dove, avere il coraggio di esplorare sentieri impervi e paludi maleodoranti, sia sempre di più un requisito necessario al poter rimanere rilevanti e utili a chi vuole saperne di più.Curare la propria nicchia, selezionando ciò che di interessante si scopre là fuori, non è più garanzia di maggior visibilità e apprezzamento. A meno che, tale selezione non sia il frutto di ciò che è emerso scavando, analizzando e sfidando personalmente ciò che appare ovvio ed evidente in superficie. Per mantenere rilevanza diventa indispensabile andare oltre ciò che oramai in moltissimi fanno (uncritical curation) e darsi conto che l'IA, sempre più frequentemente è in grado di dare idee e consigli più interessanti dei nostri. Per questo, o tenti di aprire nuove strade, raccontando ciò che emerge, o rischi di diventare un rumore in più nella cacofonia generale. _______________Info Utili• Sostieni questo podcast:Entra in contatto con me, ottieni feedback, ricevi consigli sul tuo progetto onlinehttps://Patreon.com/Robin_Good•  Musica di questa puntata:"Misty" by Birocratic disponibile su Bandcamp•  Nella foto di copertina:Il sottoscritto nel momento che la mia mini-app è esplosa sotto ai miei occhi.

Een knullig gelekte prijslijst legt bloot dat het COA nog steeds miljoenen euro’s meer betaalt aan kamerprijzen voor opvang in hotels dan de bedoeling is. Volgens een adviesbureau is er tot ruim honderd euro per kamer te veel betaald. Het COA wil betere afspraken maken, maar sommige hoteliers spreken van een onmogelijke ‘hypercorrectie’. Onderzoeksjournalist Gaby de Groot vertelt wat er allemaal misgaat. Lees: COA worstelt met hoge kamerprijzen voor opvang in hotels Kijkers van de hitserie The White Lotus boeken massaal een ticket naar het Thaise eiland Koh Samui, het decor van het net uitgekomen derde seizoen. En dus nam het aantal hotelreserveringen er volgens de Thaise toerismebranche met 44% toe. Autoriteiten verwachten dat het kleine Koh Samui dit jaar vier miljoen toeristen ontvangt. Onze correspondent in Zuidoost-Azië, Thom Schelstraete, vertelt over de impact die dat op het eiland heeft. De Nederlandse veiligheid staat onder druk door toenemende ‘Russische brutaliteit en risicobereidheid’. Dat concludeert de Militaire Inlichtingen- en Veiligheidsdienst dinsdag in zijn jaarverslag.

What connects CNN, Coldplay, Bollywood, The White Lotus, Bluey, Minecraft and K-dramas? All are linked to the burgeoning trend of representing tourism destinations in TV series, movies, videos, documentaries and computer games. This week, Gary and Hannah assess the top 8 TV and Movie Tourism talking points in ASEAN, Asia Pacific and beyond. The global journey takes us from Jakarta, Koh Samui and Singapore to Seoul, Jeju Island and Okinawa - and beyond to the UK, New Zealand and Australia. En route, we discuss the influence of micro-dramas, Ne Zha 2 and Black Myth: Wuking on domestic tourism in China. We look at the darker side of tourism on screen, including No More Bets, The Beach, Iseltwald and the filming issues around The Expats in Hong Kong. Plus we tap into the changing role of tourism boards and travel suppliers in destination placement, assess the surging growth of on-location cookery shows, and explore how Netflix is financing local TV productions to promote culture, heritage and tourism in Indonesia and South Korea for domestic and regional audiences.

Episode 54: Show Notes. Today, we are taking a trip back in time to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic as we approach the fifth anniversary of lockdowns across the globe. Joining us to discuss this period is long-time friend Chris, who was traveling the world when lockdowns hit. In our conversation, he shares his experiences of the pandemic abroad, his tumultuous escape abroad as lockdowns were implemented, and the impact of travel restrictions on global tourism. Chris recounts the chaos and uncertainty around travel, how he altered his plans to avoid getting stuck in quarantine, and the lucky decisions that got him to a holiday destination. We learn about his trip to Thailand and Koh Samui, the challenges he faced in trying to find a place to stay during quarantine, what it was like witnessing the shutdown of major tourist destinations, government support for local tourism industries, and the remarkable resilience of the Thai people. Next, we shift to a happier topic, Chris' participation in SAS's million-mile promotion and his airline upgrades and mileage strategies before reflecting on the evolving landscape of points and miles. We also learn about Chris's involvement in revitalizing the Chicago Seminars for the travel community post-COVID and how volunteers and contributors helped raise nearly 30,000 USD for charity.

The highly anticipated third season of cult TV show The White Lotus has dropped today and as much as we’ll be picking apart the storylines and theme, we’ll also be obsessing over the location. Koh Samui takes centre stage as arguably the main character, just like Maui and Taormina did in the seasons that came before. But what will locals think of its new-found fame among cashed-up tourists? In today’s deep dive, Sacha Barbour Gatt and Australian Traveller’s Quentin Long talk about the “White Lotus effect”; what happens to a location when an insanely popular show makes it look so damn good.

Srini also touches on the concept of living authentically and energetically by avoiding the 'five viruses' - complaining, blaming, self-pity, feeling like a victim, and comparison. This episode offers deep reflections and practical advice on living a conscious and joyful life.Join the Hotflash Inc perimenoposse: Web: hotflashinc.comTikTok: @hotflashincInstagram: @hotflashincX: @hotflashinc Episode website: Hotflashinc See hotflashinc.com/privacy-policy for privacy information

Life is full of stories, and whether we like it or not, they happen to us every day. Yes, these stories might sometimes turn out to be life changing events by themselves, but most of the time their impact is felt much smaller. This does not however lessen their importance. In fact, wouldn't it be correct to say that these ‘small stories' are the building blocks that we use to create the person we are today? So how do you tell your own story? Well, sometimes a personal narrative can be made much easier if you create a narrator and in our new podcast; that's exactly what Jeannie McGinnis has done. She uses the character of ‘Kathyrn McKenzie' to tell her diverse stories, ranging from the alluring lights of beauty pageants to a descent into the murky shadows of the Red Light District. From ‘Alaska to Texas' and ‘Irkutsk to Koh Samui'; Kathryn learns from both the mundane and the extraordinary, all the time recounting her humorous and sometimes gritty experiences.

Ed, an American guy, and Tomo, a Japanese gal, were living and working in Tokyo when they thought about retiring somewhere less expensive and more relaxing. They soon developed a fondness for Thailand after visiting a few of its locations. The couple agreed that the island of Koh Samui seemed like their dream location and they quit their jobs and moved there. Koh Samui was not a nightmare for the pair but it was far from paradise. After a year and a half, Ed and Tomo left the island and moved to Khanom, a beach town on the mainland of Thailand and appear to be loving it.
