AI shifting from software → physical world era
@a16z just opened Tokyo office last month. Big signal.
Why Japan matters:
• Precision parts manufacturing (decades of IP)
• Industrial supply chain mastery
• Legendary quality control
Expect robotics, hardware AI, and physical infra plays to cook. Japan's been sleeping on crypto but they dominate hardware.
Watch for $AI tokens tied to physical-world use cases. The next wave isn't just agents—it's robots, sensors, and real-world automation.
