Ian Dunt's UK, the Colombo plan, and AI publishing scams
About this episode
Ian Dunt discusses the implications of Viktor Orban's loss in Hungary for the EU, the historical Colombo Plan, and the rise of AI in publishing.
Ian Dunt examines what Viktor Orban's loss in Hungary means for the EU and looks at questions around Donald Trump's mental capacity. There once was a plan that brought disparate countries together, to work for their common good, in Asia and the Pacific. And an author and scholar has been getting some very flattering emails from 'people' keen to promote his books. Guests: Ian Dunt, iNews columnist and regular LNL commentator Professor David Lowe, Deakin University, author of 'The Colombo Plan: development internationalism in Cold War Asia' (Cambridge University Press) Dennis Altman, article on literary AI in the April issue of Australian Book Review
