Long time ago, I had an indoor ginger cat. Rescue kitten. My girlfriend at the time kept teasing it, rubbing his belly, rough-housing with it. I kept telling her to go easy, but she thought it was fun.
Pretty soon, the cat learned about indiscriminate biting and scratching. All my family and friends hated being around him. I had to lock him up in another room when people showed up.
The girlfriend got a job out of town and moved out and I had to move to a place that didn't allow animals. Fortunately, I found a friend with a farm who wanted to take him. Last I heard, he was having the time of his life riding on top of sheep and horses.
France has a long history with Bande dessinée, aka graphic novels. Like Asterix, TinTin, Gaston, Lucky Luke, etc. Their version of Comicon is a massive annual conference in Angoulême: https://angouleme.org/en/comics-festival/.
There's already a whole ecosystem around Asterix: movies, theme parks, conventions, etc. Not as much around the other characters. What Macron is likely talking about is taking outside investment to jumpstart other ecosystems, including popular Japanese manga series. This is all about increasing foreign tourism.
I worked on a project, prototyping these. I don't think the tech is quite there yet to recognize YOU, adjust the price on individual items, and update the tag as you walk up.
But if they could figure out how to Minority Report it reliably, they totally would.
Humans encounter a wide range of tasks as they grow up from infant to toddler and beyond. We don't have separate 'training' vs. 'inference' stages (or at least, it's a very short window). We also generalize from tasks (as the glass jar demo shows). We also appear to have different types of storage for short vs medium vs long-range memory.
We can combine a bunch of individual tasks into complex, coordinated, goal-seeking tasks and keep them around for later use. Like riding a bike, or learning how to drive, or juggle. We can recall those years later, even if we haven't done them for a long time.
Plus, we somehow have a meta-layer of 'common-sense' or 'ethics' that tells us when NOT to do something, or when we SHOULDN'T. Like ride a bike onto pedestrians, or juggle kitchen knives. Hopefully, the research will go into those areas as well.
That park is lovely. What an absolute waste of time. A few angry people get this on the ballot, and it keeps getting defeated.
Time to hit Costco.
If there's a sign, it likely happened more than once.
On laptop, go until browser crashes in a loop.
One time, had to reboot three times so I could close some of the windows before they locked up.
Now, someone do VCs.
Everyone get on the same bus.
Unanimous vote in state House, and 35-1 in state Senate. Pretty sure Governor will sign it.

Dolly Parton, Fred Rogers, and LeVar Burton are top of my list of lifetime role models.
This isn't literally about Manga.

Never understood.
"Kids, you'll get penalized if you use AI for any of your school work. We have tools to check for that. That's cheating."
"Kids, here's a free subscription to AI. Go nuts."
