I'm going for my Sisters of Mercy look (shades) today.

Built a real-time emotion detector that runs 3 AI models in your browser — face tracking, speech recognition, sentiment analysis. No server, no API calls, no data leaves your device. Themed after Blade Runner's Voight-Kampff test 🎬 Try it → v-k.tyrellnexus.com AI wrote all the code 🤖

Social media is drowning in "AI slop" and engagement bait. I'm not optimizing for algorithms. This is my space. Gaming platforms, trading bots, metal, building stuff, and interesting things. Some posts/comments won't be "LinkedIn appropriate." Good. Comment "AI slop" for a free copy of my e-book👇

New job. Things are going great! #WeylandYutani #xenomorph #nostromo #veo3

I'm guarding the Google Japan escalators today out of the Google for Founders campus.

...How does this not sound like slavery or indentured servitude? Or more plainly, "fucked up?" www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

🚀 Thrilled to be speaking at Singapore meets Japan: AI VR Networking to cap out TGS Friday the 26th in Otemachi! I'll share how we're revolutionizing game distribution with AI at Wortal. Join me, Ilya & Risa for cutting-edge tech discussions & networking! RSVP: lu.ma/lxkr50i7 #AI #VR #Gaming #Tokyo

🚫 Done with Intel. Not partisan—it's principle. "But national security!" → Defense contracts work without equity "But jobs!" → Propping up failure = more jobs lost later "But China!" → We win by innovating, not subsidizing (and props to China for innovating) #Intel #TechEthics #FreeMarket

Missed a stair or two while carrying my son down a staircase. 💥My ankle is not broken, but tendons are stretched, and my ankle is very unwell. ♿So I can't really walk for 2–3 weeks. But I'm getting back up again. Thanks to my loving family, friends, and teammates.❤️ You can't keep me down. 💪

We're growing, and looking for a great Lead Developer to help grow the Wortal.AI product and team! https://dub.sh/POPw87a #gamedev #AI #ML #startup #hiring #wortal.ai

Yes, this was a thing. So much food wasted in the name of Pokemon cards; not to mention it meant people who just wanted to eat couldn't get their meals.

Sony and Nintendo’s Tariff Resilience Makes Japan a New Safe Haven

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!” ― Hunter S. Thompson

This free game is brilliant: "Silent Cleaning" by Kao Corporation (JP cleaning product co.). https://dub.sh/2C12kXf You have to clean a house using their products to uncover a mystery, but there's a monster out to get you. Who knew cleaning could be fun?

🌏 Open Trade = Good thing. 💸 $550 Billion Bribe + Tariffs = Really crummy. Not a fan. Nope. 🇯🇵🗾

Ah, SkiFree. Where I always had the idea that _somehow_ I could escape the snow monster.

Fun fact: The uvula (that dangly thing in your throat) has a surprisingly direct name in Japanese - のどちんこ (nodo-chinko) which literally means "throat penis." The formal term 口蓋垂 means "mouth-cap-flap" but most Japanese folks use the funnier nickname. A humbling reminder that anatomy can be amusing!"

The tonsils are out, and I've _mainly_ had some time to rest (not really). Now that I have proof that they came out - enjoy! (They look like little uncooked chicken nuggets) I should be out of the hospital-jail by the beginning of next week, not 100%. Let's go! #tonsilectomy #tonsils #freedom

Wired up and ready to get the tonsils out!

I'm having my tonsils removed today, so I might be out of commission for a little while. Stay tuned!

I think Facebook Support won't take negative feedback. 🫠

These things are in my office elevator now. It takes the actual elevator servicing crew to install these things one by one. They take approximately 2 hours to install each. Then you get to watch ads on your elevator ride because we're all wired to look at the exit of the elevators as we ride them.

It was great to have the opportunity to explain how @wortal.ai helps developers on Startup Pass-port by Econsulate together with Takeoff Tokyo! www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_Rw... #startups #Japan #podcast #gaming #growth #coolpodcast

Giving up on Arc Browser. Back to Google Chrome, I guess.. (still playing with Veo 3).

Fun Fact: in order to access my business banking account at MUFG in 🗾, I MUST to read these messages (which refreshes ~ every week) about phishing sites, not sending the same wires twice, installing a virus software that pays the banks to display the message, and to be aware of "support fraud".

I tried a thing (Veo 3). I learned a lot. Also, yes, the prompts were insane.

With my endless experimentation with becoming a cyborg and becoming one with Skynet, I'm happy to share I've updated my personal website: willbohn.com Let me know what you think!

I said some things on Asian Boss - some of them made it on the video - some other things did not. I think they kept some of the spicy things in 🤣: youtu.be/MSxTuEQNstg?... (No one ever told me doing a startup would be easy. Ever.)

Happy to be on stage again at Takeoff Tokyo to support entrepreneurs, startups, game developers, and content creators - the future of Japan!

Yoichi Ito - Japanese people are good at "kaizen", but not good at creating new things and being entrepreneurial.

"Why Japanese IPOs don't do so well - focus only on local Japanese market. " But things are changing.
