R to @hardmaru: To really move the needle in terms of innovation, like the era in Japan when you had companies like Sony or Panasonic come out, there are a few factors at play. One is that the nation needs to have a collective sense of hope. A nation needs to feel hopeful. It could be poor. Everyone can be dirt poor, but they have hope. And hope leads to things being done. So, what creates hope in Japan? Is it more money? Is it less taxes? Or is it more benefits? Probably not. I think that it is stories and narratives that can create hope. If I have a magic wand, if the population in Japan is more optimistic about the future of this country, suddenly they’re persuaded, to be more optimistic. People should be optimistic. With optimism comes change. And change leads to more optimism. 🎏 https://www.disruptingjapan.com/the-future-of-ai-looks-very-different-in-japan/· 日本的AI未来大不相同
