   I used to pay a Mandarin teacher from Beijing to read academic and technical journals about databases with me on weekly calls. I wanted to stay on top of developments in China. She said she was thankful for the easy money but it was an incredibly boring job.

     Thinking of her today as I’m going to reach out to her and ask her to do this again with me on AI ethics and safety in China

     (I can read well but academic and technical Mandarin just isn’t something you can easily pickup unless you studied those topics in Mandarin, I feel)

     I always love how database is 数据库 (shu4 ju4 ku4) or, data pants
