Nach 10 Jahren wieder bei Tumblr einloggen ist auch eine seltsame Zeitreise. Gleich ein wichtiges Update gemacht ung @techniktagebuch gefolgt.
Last was "Resolute Japan" by Jusuke Ikegami, Harbir Singh, and Michael Useem, who combine excellent qualitative interviews with leadership of large Japanese firms with macro quantitative data on CEO career trajectories and corporate governance metrics to provide a holistic view of the Japanese organizational management landscape. Highly recommend

Next was "The Ethics of Invention" by Sheila Jasanoff. The meat of this book are chapters 1, 8, and 9, which investigate the inherent politics of technology, its socio-technical nature, and approaches to grapple with those challenges through different engagement and governance techniques.

Next was an important talk by Kristin Roebuck on race, sex, and eugenics in Japan from WW2 to the Cold war at Harvard (🫡). Roebuck details how Japan styled itself as a melting pot nation prior to defeat, with mixed race children held up as the essence of Japan, rapidly shifting to a discriminatory orientation. Can't wait to bring this up at my next METI meeting where they insist Japan culturally can't accept many immigrants. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DWTwcIDoI8 (5/7) #history #Japan
Next was an engaging panel on private enforcement of EU competition law with Julia Suderow, Juan Ignacio Ruiz Peris, and Carmen Estevan de Quesada at the Digital Markets Research Hub https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBZ7k6SYAfs (4/7) #law
Next was a fantastic talk by Fabian Stephany on the rise of skill-based hiring in AI and green technology related roles at the Saïd Business School. Stephany uses large-scale online job listings to demonstrate that while jobs aren't going away, skills are highlighted much more than advanced degrees were in the past. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZWxLv26Q5E (3/7) #AI #economics
First was an intriguing talk by Dominique Lestel on the purpose of humanoid robots that serve no purpose at Tokyo College https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3jZC53RiI0 (2/7) #philosophy #AI
This guy was fairly wary of me as I passed, and while enjoying seeing a camelid in its original continent I also enjoyed some talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist! (1/7)
reserving a hotel room and it includes an option for a free "welcome drink", definitely a first
#CHI2025 folks: I won't be at the conference, but if you want a list of places to go/stay/restaurants to eat at I've built this doc over 10+ years of going to Japan multiple times per year. If you've got any questions let me know!

heirloom tomato? like it used to be your grandmother’s?
"AI models age like milk" is hilarious and quite precise. :)
The rest of this commentary is much less fun but worth reading. It's possible that business models can be tuned and efficiency gains improve margins, but the argument and the questions it raises remain relevant. By @tante
