Everyone should have seen this video. It seems that everything has changed in more than two years. Meta began to lay off AI scientists. The reason why major Silicon Valley companies laid off tens of thousands of people was to buy GPUs to increase computing power. Software engineering and organizational structures are slowly being reshaped. Banana Pro makes ordinary production as good as professional designers. So, these are the things to start doing now:

  • AI first, think about how AI will get involved in everything.
  • Cultivate taste, technology and speed are all being influenced by AI. Equality, what can make you win, only Taste, the effect of the same tools in the hands of different people is very different. 3 Don’t be constrained by the organizational structure of the past, and integrate AI secretly, because in the future, support and technical positions will be greatly reduced, and a large number of middle-level leaders will no longer be needed. 4 The education model is ineffective. Even for students in Ivy League schools, if you look at the get out of class schedule, they have just opened some special vocabulary classes, and the teachers can no longer keep up. Including some domestic universities, many of the most advanced AI tools have not been used. Huge inertia will lead to global education System reshuffle. The best education model is to build in public
