Anthropic #AI was working with South #Korea Telecom.

#Trump WH argued that the SK Telecom giant had ties to #China.

Those ties have been denied by SK.

WH demanded only US access.

Anthropic shut down all access instead.

WH is not happy.

Days before Anthropic took its most advanced AI models offline, the White House ordered the company to revoke SK Telecom’s access to Claude Mythos over claims of alleged ties to China.

A New York City Film Fest of only #Korean indie film queen Bae Doona works!!!

#kdrama #korea #baedoona

Metrograph

Doona, Doona, Doona - Metrograph

Now well into her third decade of working in the cinema, Seoul-born Bae Doona has established herself as an international icon, appearing in movies by leading lights of South Korean cinema like Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho, Japanese auteurs like Hirokazu Kore-eda and Nobuhiro Yamashita, America’s Lilly and Lana Wachowski, and many others. Whether the part calls for William Tell-like sharpshooting with bow and arrow, raw riot grrrl vocals, or inventing the idiosyncratic gestural vocabulary of an inflatable doll that’s suddenly gained consciousness, Doona can always be counted on to deliver the goods. A bona fide superstar with a cult actor’s taste for projects focused on outsiders and eccentrics, her dizzyingly diverse filmography is unified by the unerring commitment of her work, her wide-eyed face proving time and again to be one of the most expressive and versatile in contemporary cinema.

“South #Korea’s former-president Yoon Suk Yeol has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for sending drones into North Korea, a move prosecutors argued was aimed at creating a pretext for his failed martial law declaration in 2024.

The #Seoul central district court found Yoon guilty of abuse of power and aiding the enemy, saying he had conspired in the October 2024 drone incursion from the outset.”

#Starbucks #Korea to shut all its 2000 stores & cafes for all its staff to have history classes & sensitivity training following its disastrous ‘Tank Day’ promotion.

Large coffee mug promos were linked to a national memorial day for the Gwangju protestors killed by tanks & army in 1980.

A massive angry public outcry lead to boycotts and petitions.

Owner of Starbucks in South Korea is a right-wing Trump-supporting billionaire businessman.

“Since the South #Korean government reclassified the Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of North #Korea's ruling Workers' Party, as general public material late last year, anyone can now easily access authentic examples of North Korean written language.”
