the iPhone is what made me fall in love with photography.

‘BACKROOMS’ director Kane Parsons says he would get “no enjoyment” out of using generative AI on any project — “It defeats the purpose entirely for me.”
“I think I'm in the same boat as most well-adjusted people. If I could snap my fingers and make generative Al disappear forever, I probably would.”

Tokyo didn't build *one* downtown. It built dozens.
The Yamanote Line isn't just a train loop — it's the skeleton of an entirely different kind of city. Each station is its own gravitational center. Shops, offices, apartments, life — all layered around the exits.
You grab lunch between trains. Run errands during your transfer. The city bends around *your* movement.
This is what urban resilience actually looks like — not one massive core choking on its own density, but a constellation of small downtowns, each breathing on its own.
It's been hiding in plain sight for decades. 🌐
*What city do you think could pull this off next?* 👇

Voice Actor Kenjiro Tsuda has filed a lawsuit against TikTok over AI-generated videos allegedly imitating his voice without permission
The lawsuit claims at least 188 videos used AI narration mimicking Tsuda's distinctive "low, deep voice" and "deep husky tone" to attract viewers, with the account reportedly earning up to ¥750,000 per month
Comments such as "It sounds like Tsuda Kenjiro's voice" are also reportedly being used as evidence in court
The case may become Japan's first major lawsuit over unauthorized AI voice cloning
