DONATE: PAYPAL.ME/JAPANWUT

… We discuss how uninformed politicians at Japan’s G7 meet are trying to regulate AI as a Build Back Better move — they don’t care if their AI solutions are worse, as long as they control them and you don’t. We also cover how the De-Dollarization movement is affecting the Japanese economy, and why tech shows seem to be stuck in dumb Sci-Fi ruts!
