Morning news out of Japan is pulling in two directions at once. On the macro side, the USTR is opening its annual AGOA eligibility review and 2025 just closed as a record year for global oil production, with the Middle East up 3.5% to 31.12 million barrels a day. On the engineering floor, the throughline is AI eating everything — Data + AI Summit reporters frame data infrastructure as the layer where AI actually decides business outcomes, KubeCon’s opening keynote led with generative AI inference, and Eatron’s battery-state software is being pushed into Japanese auto OEMs. Underneath all that, security anxiety is loud: a Linux kernel privilege-escalation flaw with a public PoC has dropped, and SentinelOne is documenting an Excel zero-click that takes over the PC the moment you open the file. A small spot of normalcy at the end — five copies of ‘できるChatGPT 改訂2版’ up for grabs.
