At Arta Atelier, a Harley-riding chef serves up boutique French pastries
Begovic, who rides his beloved Harley-Davidson to work when he can, also whips up buttermilk scones, frangipane tarts, madeleines and two kinds of chocolate-chip biscuit and larger-scale celebration cakes to order. He creates chocolates with flavours ranging from raspberry pistachio to lime and toasted coconut, and bakes limited runs of excellent meat pies, sausage rolls and burek. The burek, which Begovic makes within 10 minutes of ordering, is outstanding – its rolled and coiled spinach and cheese-filled pastry is buttery and pull-apart soft. He says it's inspired by his grandmother's recipe. Camden has plenty of pastry shops and bakeries (the best bakery is B85 Artisan Bakery over the road) but Arta Atelier's cakes, tarts and desserts are pure art. Ponder their beauty and restrained sweetness, then wolf them. Three other French-style patisseries to try Dear Florence Originally helmed by Irish chef Aoife Noonan, Dear Florence's range of brooch- and cloud-like cakes and tarts – including coffee, pecan and Japanese whisky, and citrus, yoghurt and orange-blossom honey varieties – are treasures in a hushed haute couture-like space. Prefecture 48, 230 Sussex Street, Sydney, La Renaissance Known as La Ren, this bastion of French baking (established in 1974 and in its location in The Rocks for 33 years) traverses pastry's big guns, from millefeuille to croquembouche, eclairs, Saint Honore and opera cake. Beaut sausage rolls and quiche Lorraine too. 47 Argyle Street, The Rocks, Madame & Yves Pastry chef Yves Scherrer loves eclairs – most recently a salted caramel custard-filled, chocolate-covered number daubed with vanilla mascarpone cream, chocolate ganache and Belgian chocolate-chunk biscuit – but his passion extends to cut-above French cakes, tarts and croissants, too.

AI rise like 'Terminator-style apocalypse': James Cameron
Hollywood director James Cameron says the world is on the brink of a 'Terminator-style apocalypse' if artificial intelligence is allowed access to weapons systems. Cameron conceded it's possible for humankind to be left facing extinction as predicted in his 1984 sci-fi movie The Terminator starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. 'I do think there's still a danger of a Terminator-style apocalypse where you put AI together with weapons systems, even up to the level of nuclear weapon systems, nuclear defence counterstrike, all that stuff,' he told Rolling Stone magazine. 'Because the theatre of operations is so rapid, the decision windows are so fast, it would take a super-intelligence to be able to process it, and maybe we'll be smart and keep a human in the loop. 'But humans are fallible, and there have been a lot of mistakes made that have put us right on the brink of international incidents that could have led to nuclear war. So I don't know.' Cameron added: 'I feel like we're at this cusp in human development where you've got the three existential threats: climate and our overall degradation of the natural world, nuclear weapons, and super-intelligence. 'They're all sort of manifesting and peaking at the same time ...' Cameron recently signed an open letter calling for nuclear disarmament and his next film is Ghosts of Hiroshima, based on the Charles Pellegrino book of the same name which tells the story of the atomic bomb blast in 1945 and its aftermath. The director admitted the movie might be the most 'challenging film' he will ever make.
