Travellers take note. #Airbnb's 'new' categories for properties are #AI generated and can be completely wrong. Worse - property owners have no say nor control. Gotta love big tech #authoritarianism - especially from cuddly @bchesky #BigTech #tech #travel

So #Airbnb has automated something called #categories and it's misrepresenting properties on its platform. It can't be fixed by owners. Shameful, disgraceful company..... #travel #tech #aifail

Shocked to see the extent of the work going on at #HoiAn's most precious #heritage asset. The #JapaneseBridge has been a feature of the #UNESCO #WorldHeritage old town for centuries. This it today....hope this ends well.. #history #travel #vietnam

Was a quick visit but it was great to see #HoiAn buzzing again. It was still comfortable too - happily the excess of 2019 has not yet returned. Join us in Hoi An on Vietnam by the Book. 16 days built around 3 books. #travel #vietnam #history #temple #travelphotography

A longish list of new stuff in #Sydney for #culturaltravellers. In case you're wondering, there are at least 11 new things from a new #vibe to #heritage #cycling #Parramatta to #Indigenous #sculpture. Did we miss anything? #travel #tourism #culturaltravel rustycompass.com/australia-t…

Barangaroo in 2013 - This blog piece from a decade ago on #Barangaroo just popped up... Amazing to look at Barangaroo before the "high rollers" monument. #highrollers #sydney #architecture #gambling #nswpol rustycompass.com/blog/barang…

How should we feel about the delivery driver economy that's in our face every time we step outside at night? Feudal throwback? #feudal #deliverydriver #sydney #kingscross #tech #delivery #cocacola #travel #streetphotography #urban #streets #nights #cities #gigeconomy

#Marrickville in #Sydney's #InnerWest was nominated by #Timeout as one of the coolest #neighbourhoods in the world. The #Vietnamesefood scene is a big part of the magic. Head over to rustycompass.com for the full #video of new stuff in Sydney.

Anyone else bothered by every hall, room, entry, garden (thankfully not the loos.. yet) at #sydneymodern is named after some benefactor? Some perhaps you wouldn’t want to be associated with? When most of new gallery is publicly funded?
