AI already is fooling us but the discussion in Tokyo @runwayml Meetup was about how the new normal is Hybrid videos with AI.
@c_valenzuelab said it best, we are already there!
Hosted Network Lab Tokyo #2 last night.
15 people. Tiny cafe in Shibuya. No slides. No pitches.
We argued about which apps shouldn't exist anymore. Where to invest during a war economy. What to actually build with AI.
The best networking events don't feel like networking events.
Companies aren’t really using AI yet.” Wrong.
Startups build in the open. Corporates deploy behind closed doors.
Both are moving way faster than you think.
Great conversations at LeadAI Global Tokyo on AI hardware, voice AI, and Japan’s design DNA. 🇯🇵
Every breakthrough followed the same pattern:
Try. Fall. Learn something you couldn't learn any other way.
No amount of tutorials replaces the first fall. No amount of case studies replaces a failed launch. No amount of networking replaces a cold pitch that gets ignored.
The real learning starts the moment you stop preparing and start moving.
That's not a setback. That's the curriculum.
If you're standing at the top of something right now, overthinking your next move:
Stand up. Go down.
The mountain doesn't get smaller by waiting.
♻️ Repost if someone needs to hear this today.
Most developers in Japan don’t have time to read up on AI.
The most they know about is a forced subscription of Copilot that failed to work for them so they thinks its a fad.
Just had a chat with devs they had no idea how powerful @claudeai code is…
