Fancy Toilets and Crucial A.I. Infrastructure 

It’s not really an A.I. pivot.

As you’re surely aware, A.I. is currently big business. Sometimes, it’s also stupid business, as in the case of Allbirds. When I recently heard that Japanese toilet maker Toto saw their stock soar thanks to A.I., I thought there might be similar nonsense at play. It turns out that instead, they’re benefitting from that fact that they also make crucial components for semiconductor manufacturing.
