Show Notes
We check in with Ken Inoue, general manager of All Turtles Tokyo, who explains that being regarded as a "bent nail" can be a good thing. Ken also discusses the "black ships" phenomenon and tells us that Japan is a pun-loving nation. Your hosts Phil Libin, Jessica Collier, and Blaise Zerega share encounters with everyday AI when using Safari on mobile, seeking information on Michelangelo, and going for a mountain bike ride with Strava. Along the way, they answer questions about AI taking jobs and startups with .ai URL suffixes.
