♣ Thought of the Week
◘ You can just do things!
List the things you are avoiding for months, weeks, days! Then give them 4 hours and just do it.
♣ Tech
◘ Why India Was Chosen As Google’s Largest Data Center Outside the US
AI data centers are increasingly becoming a dirty word because of their impact on local communities. But what exactly is a data center, and why is it causing so much controversy?
In this deep dive, ASIAN BOSS explores the invisible infrastructure bottlenecks behind the AI revolution and why Google is betting big on India to build its largest AI data center hub outside the United States.
♣ Creator Economy
◘ How BuzzFeed Lost the Internet Forever
BuzzFeed Video was known as factory for online stars. The Try Guys, Watcher, Safiya Nygaard, and Quinta Brunson are just a few of the media power houses to act as Buzzfeed alumni. But behind the relatable videos and online quizzes, BuzzFeed Video was ensuring its own demise by turning their very talent against them. And even with their recent relaunch, they may not have learned from their mistakes.
This video is an analytical retrospective on the BuzzFeed Video Network of channels, including their latest relaunch.
♣ Pop Culture
◘ How Netflix Ruined Korean Dramas Forever
Ever since Squid Game, K-dramas have never been more popular worldwide; so why is the industry quietly falling apart?
In this video, ASIAN BOSS explores what made K-drama special in the first place, and how Netflix, short-form content, and shifting economics are pushing Korean storytelling to a breaking point.
