Japan is one of those countries that doesn’t allow dual citizenship and they require proof of renunciation. Something to think about for those from other “strong” countries who want to go down that route.

It's sort of like how increased mechanization led to a decrease in physical activity, so people do recreational exercises to stay physically fit. Eventually staying mentally fit by doing projects and exercises (leetcode, Advent of Code, etc) will be similarly normalized.

There's a difference between automated industrial scale scraping and well-behaved agents acting on the behalf of individuals. Right now there isn't a robust, standard way to distinguish between them, so sites just block known datacenter IPs and throw out the baby with the bathwater.

That's a main advantage of running your own local claw setup using your residential connection -- difficult/impossible to block.

That said, eventually a site blocking all agents would be like blocking all search engines, something that hurts more than it helps as agentic interactions become "the norm". WebMCP or similar support will likely be a basic expectation at some point.

> less than a minute, that hardware implant can be fitted into a port accessible via a hatch on the exterior of the plane

Just as with computers, as the saying goes, if you have physical access to the device then all bets are off. The tricky part is getting that physical access in the first place...

About 10% of Meta's ad revenue comes from Chinese companies reaching a international audience. They also manufacture most of their wearable devices in China.
