Some real gems here. Villa Santi as a backpacker hostel. Taking a tuk tuk to Vang Vieng, though, would be first on my list of crack things to do.

About eighteen kinds of wow here. I was recently contacted by someone offering their AI services to generate new content ideas for our newsletter. I politely told them generating ideas wasn't a problem for us at all.

I actually think this bodes well for Substack as I think part of the platform's success has to do with people wanting information they can trust from reliable sources. Now to that we can add they want reliable info from actual people and not AI.

Though I suppose one day, AI will be able to scrape our newsletter and imitate me pretty well.
