Defines "ages". Blue leds came out of Japan somewhat recently and that's pretty huge

I don't exactly keep up with the technological innovations of every country, but I get the feeling it isn't so much that Japan hasn't innovated in decades, so much as they haven't done anything he (it's 4chan, let's be frank, it's a he) personally finds interesting or that is publicized in the medium he gets his news from.

The Plaza Accord happened. Japan was also demonized in media and politics like China is now.

Edit: The people downvoting need a history lesson. Here’s a good place to start:

The Coming War with Japan

Just one example of the attitude towards Japan during its height.

I genuinely think using generative AIs to do your job for you should be grounds for immediate termination under just cause.

Machines have no agency and can never be held responsible for anything, thus should never be put under professional responsibility.

I can't wait for these models to colapse onto themselves.

japan and germans selling goods to america with no tax etc, they had no serious miltary concerns, invesment, america protects them, there is a invest sell cycle to them so they can produce more tech and goods until 80s and 90s america stops buying because it hurts their economy and japan and german passed them now they both in crisis. no major market to sell no spare money to inovation no more protection.

Japan has been living in the year 2000 since 1980.
