Manga-inspired theme park to be built near Paris

BBC News

Three theme parks will be built near Paris as part of a €6bn (£5.13bn) deal agreed between France and Saudi Arabia. The new development is expected to include a manga-themed park, inspired by the popular Japanese franchise Dragon Ball Z. French President Emmanuel Macron hailed the move as on a scale not seen since Disneyland Paris, and added you know my interest for manga. An opening date for the parks - which will be built near Cergy-Pontoise - has not set by the Élysée Palace, but they will open in stages and construction is expected to take years. The project was given the green light during a two-day state visit to France by Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. It stemmed from a previous discussion between Macron and bin Salman about their shared passion for Japanese comics, in particular Dragon Ball Z, advisers to the president told reporters on Monday.

How to cancel your ChatGPT subscription (and why you might want to)

Engadget

A paid plan makes the most sense when you regularly run into the Free tier's limits or rely on tools reserved for higher tiers. If that's no longer true, paying every month gets harder to justify. One option is ChatGPT Go, a lower-cost paid tier that OpenAI now offers in every country where ChatGPT is supported. Spending less doesn't necessarily require giving up a paid plan altogether. AI subscriptions have another unusual wrinkle: the product can change while you are paying for it.
