It's really difficult for large organizations to carry out disruptive innovation; they can't abandon their existing value networks, and innovative businesses either can't truly thrive within the organization or can only run parallel to old businesses for the sake of balance.
Apple has so many talented people, but they still can't do AI well—this is probably the reason.

There is a philosophical comfort in easing online violence: that most people do not truly reflect on life’s issues at all; you can simply ignore their remarks.
Just as only professional doctors’ reports about your condition are worth taking seriously, philosophers like Socrates are the experts on life’s problems—so whatever anyone online says about your life should be treated as nothing more than dog barking.

It turns out that a team of 3-5 people can produce 10 AI dramas in a month, averaging 2 per week.
An era of rapid acceleration fueled by spiritual opium.

Whether a person’s ego is strong or not depends on whether they’re willing to let go of the “client attitude” — even if they’re in a more dominant position, can they still treat others and serve others with the “partner mindset,”?

I just finished watching F1 so late; I should have gone to the cinema.

What is Agentic Payment?
Imagine it's lunchtime and you want to eat. You open your AI assistant, and it has already recommended several takeout options you might like today. You speak into the microphone, "Let's go with A today," and it immediately completes the order for you, telling you it will be delivered in approximately 12 minutes.
At the same time, it reminds you that you can book your flight tickets early for next month's trip. Since you prefer cost-effective options, it has already compared and found the best flight for your travel plans. When you say it's okay, it will purchase the t

# Circle Position Liquidation Record and Reason Analysis
**Trading Operations:**
Liquidated Circle positions in two tranches at 83 and 112.
**Personal Reasons for Liquidation (All Subjective Views):**
1. **Disconnect Between Narrative and Reality:**
Circle's rally this wave is driven by the AI Agent payments narrative, but AI Agent payments are still in a very early stage. USDC issuance volume being truly driven by AI Agent trading volume won't happen without 2-3 years. What's being traded now is just optimistic expectations about AI.
2. **Limited Market Positioning:**

I chatted with a friend last night, and actually, many large companies now have businesses that can generate sustained positive cash flow. With the emergence of AI, it's highly possible that small teams could build similar products and start competing.
When companies grow large, they develop organizational redundancy. Facing the hyenas appearing in the market, users get gradually eaten away piece by piece.
At this current moment in time, the potential utility of expanding a company's headcount is likely quite low, because communication costs between people increase. In contrast, streamlining t

There are several core issues:
1. AI memory problem
2. Large model intelligence leap problem
3. Embodied intelligence construction
4. AI assistant interaction problem
I hope to see all of them resolved in the next 3-5 years, so I can confidently go back to farming. After all, my intelligence will be useless then.

The rewards scholars receive are based on their pessimism, while entrepreneurs' rewards are based on their optimism.
Most of those who claim that AGI will destroy humanity are "scholars" with plenty of free time on the timeline; they do not believe in the emergence of creative solutions. Pessimism is simple, while optimism and the courage to create are difficult.

Under the mindset of imitation, follow and do whatever hot topics are trending.
If you haven't figured out the big picture, failure is inevitable.
Thinking about the direction while doing it is a false proposition. Repetition at a low level does not equal exploration.

During the New Year visit home, not only did uncles and aunts start using Doubao, but even the older generation quickly accepted Ji Meng Seedance 2.0. They all filmed short videos of their AI avatars and sent them to friends to prove they are keeping up with the times.
In conversations, school teachers were systematically trained on DeepSeek, civil servants began using Doubao to write reports, and the main topic at dinner tables was AI. The impact of AI's spread is clearly reaching even fourth-tier cities.

Compression is Intelligence
Imagine you want to convey a pattern-filled image to a friend:
• Inefficient approach (Uncompressed): You tell him the color coordinates of every pixel. This requires a huge amount of data, and you actually don’t even know what the picture depicts.
• Efficient approach (Compressed): You tell him, “This is a matrix composed of 100 blue circles evenly spaced.”
To describe all the pixels with a single sentence (smaller size), you must discover the pattern within (circles, equal spacing, blue). This process of discovering patterns is “intelligence.”

My ideal is to work until age 99.
Because I plan to work for such a long time, my requirement for work is to be able to go to work excitedly humming a song every day, enjoying the process.
Additionally, due to the long cycle, I want my work to have compound interest effects over time. This way, no matter how small the task, consistently working in the right direction will eventually lead to growth and strength.
My goal for ages 30-40 is to build such a work platform for myself.

A new product aiming for large-scale adoption needs to be ten times better than existing solutions, meaning it must have a significant advantage in terms of scale.
The biggest limiting factor for crypto payments is foreign exchange fees, which are even worse than those of current payment solutions because of the additional crypto-to-fiat conversion costs.
The reason for high foreign exchange fees is "currency sovereignty." Governments do not allow their merchants to accept US dollar stablecoins directly, nor do they permit residents to use stablecoins for widespread payments.
Fundamental

After AI takes responsibility for "how to achieve," the only remaining value in mutual understanding among humans is:
Deciding "what is worth being realized."

I recently listened to a podcast by Peter Steinberger, and he mentioned a very interesting point:
You need to empathize with the Agent.
You can't throw it into a set of unfamiliar code and expect it to magically complete everything without clear context.
You need to empathize with the Agent—it's like a highly intelligent college student who just joined the company.
You should tell it about the organizational structure, where to find basic information, who to ask if it has questions, what the goals are, and what the limitations are.
All of this requires you to understand the basic tec
