Hello Reader,

It's Chinese New Year this coming week, so I am taking a break from writing a commentary this weekend as I frantically try to get the annual spring cleaning sorted out.

If you are itching for something to read, you can check out my "The problem with AI is human" that grew into a 1,100-word piece from part of last week's commentary. You can access it on Substack here.

You have a wonderful week ahead!

Regards,
Paul Mah
