Welcome back to Deep in Japan! I apologize for the brief hiatus. I was OOO on quite the adventure. Over the last two weeks, your fearful host was jet-setting across the globe, taking 5 flights, zooming through 4 bullet train rides, and hopping into countless Ubers. Along the way, I enjoyed having fascinating conversations with hundreds of people from all walks of life, mostly about AI and the end of humanity. No, just kidding. About AI and the transformation of our business landscapeーa topic that fascinates me, to say the least. Sadly, within 24 hours of having returned, I picked up a bug that would launch me into another journeyーan inward journey through the cosmos of my mind, which as you can tell by listening to this episode is a rather odd mind. Now that the fever has broken and I am once again comfortably back home in the Land of the Rising Bidet Hose (ah, my blessed Toto, how I have missed you), I'm ready to dive back into it. So stay tuned for more exciting episodes to come!
