AI

The digital economy is being redefined by AI Recently, while following discussions around the Digital Economy conference in Beijing, I had a very strong impression that although the theme is still labeled as “digital economy,” the real focus has quietly shifted toward artificial intelligence. From what I have seen across different public information, whether it is industrial direction, enterprise digital transformation, or talent development systems, AI is being mentioned more and more frequently. The term “digital economy” still exists, but it no longer feels like a simple extension of the internet era. Instead, it feels more like a broader framework that is now carrying AI, data systems, and industrial restructuring together. ...

Today is June 1st. Children’s Day. It feels like the right day to talk about things that are young. Not young like a startup. Young like a child — full of potential, not yet sure what they’ll become, occasionally embarrassing, occasionally breathtaking. The children in Miami Just a few weeks ago, 20,000+ people gathered in Miami for Consensus 2026 — founders, executives, policymakers, all there to watch crypto, AI, and traditional finance collide in real time. The theme wasn’t just blockchain anymore. AI agents are becoming participants in global markets — executing trades, managing portfolios, creating entirely new economic models. The conference had a name for it: Agentic Commerce. ...

There’s a version of productivity that feels real but isn’t. You open the laptop. You run the prompts. You get the outputs. By noon you’ve “done” more than you used to do in a week. And yet, at the end of the day, you sit back and wonder: did any of that actually matter? That’s the question I kept avoiding for months. 01 — Everything Is Faster Now AI is genuinely powerful. I’m not here to argue otherwise. ...

I didn’t start with a plan. I just decided that for one month, I would stop hesitating and actually use AI — every day, for real work. I was building an online lingerie brand called LaceMoods , writing content for a crypto publication, and trying to figure out how to make the internet work for me instead of the other way around. Here’s what $100 a month in AI tools actually got me. ...

Recently I came across an idea that stopped me mid-scroll: In the future, there may only be one kind of professional that truly survives. Not engineers. Not designers. Not product managers. But the person who takes responsibility for outcomes — someone who can direct AI and other resources to actually get things done. You can call them a founder, a super-individual, a project lead. The title doesn’t matter. What matters is that they define the work. They don’t wait for it. ...

Over the past few days, we spent quite a bit of time watching livestreams and panels from the Miami Web3 conference. Before that, I honestly thought most of the conversations would still be around crypto, tokens, or blockchain infrastructure. But after listening to different founders, investors, and builders, one thing became pretty obvious: AI has become impossible to ignore in the Web3 world. A lot of speakers kept mentioning the same topics over and over again — AI agents, decentralized AI, data ownership, digital identity, automated systems, and how AI might completely change the way online businesses work. ...

Over the past year, maybe the biggest change with AI isn’t that it became dramatically smarter. It’s that creating things has started becoming incredibly cheap. Writing, images, videos, design, translation, code — a lot of work that used to take real time, experience, and manpower can now be generated in minutes. The internet is moving into a world where content is becoming almost unlimited. If you open almost any platform today, you’ll see more people using AI to write content, build brands, create videos, launch products, or automate workflows. A few years ago, many of these skills were considered valuable advantages. ...

A lot of people think solo founding is about hustle. One person handling product, operations, content, design, and sales all at once. But that idea is already outdated. Because AI is eliminating single tasks. Copywriting, layout, basic design, data organization — a massive amount of execution work is being automated. This means solo founding is no longer about one person doing more work. It’s about one person operating at a higher level, directing AI to complete tasks. ...

Many people today are asking the same question: Will AI take my job? Recently, I listened to an interview with Marc Andreessen, the founder of a16z, one of Silicon Valley’s most influential venture capital firms. During the conversation, he said something that completely changed how I think about AI. AI doesn’t replace jobs. It replaces tasks. When I heard that sentence, something suddenly clicked. Technology Revolutions Rarely Destroy Jobs Andreessen pointed out that technological revolutions have always followed a similar pattern. They rarely eliminate entire professions. What they usually eliminate are low-value tasks. ...

Recently, I saw a post on X from Elon Musk comparing ChatGPT and Grok. Same question, two very different answers. It was interesting to look at. And for a moment, I also wondered: which one is actually smarter? But after using both for a while, I realized that’s probably the wrong question. In my actual work, I don’t really compare AI tools anymore. ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini — to me, they’re not competing with each other. They’re part of a system I keep adjusting, a kind of workflow where each one plays a different role. What matters isn’t which one is better. What matters is: in which situation, which tool helps me actually get things done. ...
