AI & Technology (about 45 entries): AI platform compute infrastructure, Microsoft's AI strategy (building universal底层), Meta's core assets (attention vs social relationships), agent responsibility boundaries. 5.

Selected Notes Include: - "Wildlife protection isn't just about development/economics—it's fundamental. Control desire, not expand resources." - "Pokhara feels chaotic with few rules; well-managed places present clarity, simplicity, white-space beauty" - "Chiang Mai density is incredibly high—every two steps, surprising discoveries" - "Japanese service: technology + culture + humanity fused, with appropriate distance—both sides satisfied" - "There's a crack in everything—that's how the light gets in.
