Suddenly I had a really good idea: for future interviews, you don’t need to give them test questions. Just ask them to hand over all the various AI conversations they’ve made publicly, and we can use AI to analyze them to roughly understand their situation.
What’s the difference between all these current technical exam questions—algorithm problems, even the college entrance exam—and other things? Asking questions is far more important than solving problems. Once you have a question, it gives you an anchor and a clear focus.
And for people who haven’t embraced AI yet, what can they possibly compete with? We can do easy 10-thread parallelism. Also, since there are so many session files, in the future it really could be worth considering distilling our own ideas—have the AI continuously scrutinize them and try to add some freshness.
Recent thoughts: Assuming AI significantly boosts efficiency, the wealthy in the future might have more leisure time for entertainment, while the less fortunate could lean towards gambling?
Also, how much time is left for traditional education and training institutions? Can they keep making profits for a few more years? Right now, it just looks like a business.
After letting Codex help configure Hermes, I gave it a spin and thought about it a bit. Honestly, it doesn't hold much value for me.
It's more like a wrapper for various models and offers easy remote access and message output, but if that's all it does, I’m not blown away.
In fact, I feel that using Codex or Claude directly to tackle issues is way more comfortable and reliable than adding a layer with Hermes. Plus, by going this roundabout way, it’s easy to miss out on the native feature updates from Codex and Claude, which is a total loss.
It’s not fit for solving complex problems, but if it’s only good for simple issues, then Cowork or Codex is more than enough. I don't see the necessity for multiple models; even with a bunch of models, only a couple can actually deliver.
Recently, I had this sudden realization that the world is undergoing drastic changes, while we are extremely stubborn, evaluating things based on limited impressions. For instance, we think the emergence of AI will have a devastating impact on SaaS platforms. However, I've seen that Salesforce, Oracle, and Adobe are doing quite well lately.
AI's wealth creation is leading a small number of people to experience exponential growth in their competitive edge, but the majority remain in a chaotic state, as if their minds are still closed. We have the strongest systems in the world, yet we can't ask the right questions, constrained by our imagination and past habits.
So, most people still need guidance and will continue to be ordinary. Traditional SaaS companies, 😄, are embracing AI at a pace and intensity far beyond the average person, like Salesforce.
How do we address and eliminate these biases? Honestly, we need a robust information system for automated data collection, and in my view, 6551 and Akita's self-built information system are doing exceptionally well in this regard.
@cryptoxiao, speaking of which, is impressive for making such a significant directional shift.
Actually, I used to ignore 6551's old DEX model; I wasn't interested. But since they pivoted to information system collection, that's a game changer. I even started paying for it, feeling like they've finally broadened their path, no longer just a small niche in the crypto space. Their advantage in information gathering is strong enough that it's not just about membership fees; investing on my own might even yield bigger gains. The core idea is to look beyond just the crypto space and consider the entire global market. I think this formula applies here too, as these two have some similarities.
As individuals, we also need to build good information systems to perceive changes in the global market, speaking with factual evidence rather than imagination. We need to break free from the illusions that retail investors love to imagine and move towards a more mature data-driven approach.
Last night I worked until 2 AM, and honestly, AI has reignited my passion for work with good ideas and improvements that I can validate instantly.
A few years back, I used to say that even though I'm writing code, I don't really enjoy it; I just do it to make a living.
The emergence of AI has turned coding from a tedious task into more of a creative and design process. It reminds me of my university days participating in ACM competitions, where I'd spend class thinking about algorithm problems, jotting them down, and then rushing to the lab to validate them. The joy of seeing an AC pass was unbeatable.
The crypto space is the darkest place I've ever seen.
When you try to do legit business, you quickly realize there are endless scams, traps, and phishing schemes. If you don't manage your risk properly, you won't even know how you got wrecked, and it can come from the most unexpected angles.
It's hilarious, every day I check out the biggest gainers and losers on ONDO and HYPER, then I analyze them with the Claude plugin in my browser, looking for angles.
I finally understand the feeling of on-chain P traders, constantly hunting for angles, 😄
In the past, I used to buy various meme coins like SHEB, willing to take the plunge, but I remember losing over $50k. It seems like these US stock market angles are even more substantial and closely tied to the real world, sounds way more exciting and has a lot more depth, pretty interesting.
Let’s talk about Binance, OKX, the crypto space, and US stocks.
I recently revisited the Binance wallet; it’s super smooth and now supports private key imports.
I used to dislike the Binance wallet because it only supported no private key transactions, and I mostly do automated trading; no private key just isn’t feasible.
However, I’m considering using it again because I want to buy US stocks on Ondo and I have a long-term holding strategy, so automation isn’t a requirement anymore. When you think about it, in this scenario, a no private key wallet makes more sense. No private key means you’ve eliminated the threats associated with it, which actually becomes an advantage.
I haven't started buying US stocks on Ondo yet, but I’m thinking if I can transfer my purchases to Binance after buying on Alpha, that would be perfect. For long-term holding, I don't need to worry about the risks of a no private key wallet.
As for OKX, I feel that wallets are being quickly caught up with. In the AI era, the technological advantages and barriers seem to be disappearing rapidly. Pure software and UI experience just aren't enough to create a deep moat. This isn't just a problem for OKX; we in the quant space are facing similar issues. The strong are getting stronger, and with AI backing them, future leaders in other niches might focus on taking over and stealing our jobs, it’s a real concern.
The technical accumulation before the AI explosion might take years, but facing the current terrifying AI landscape, it could be reduced to months. Calculating it this way, it actually feels like a loss; in the future, what you do will become even more crucial.
I think Binance's advantage lies in the loyalty of big players and liquidity, while OKX used to rely on its technical accumulation and user experience. However, these aspects can be easily replicated, especially in the context of AI. This means continuous iteration and micro-innovations are needed to lead the market, while big players aren’t as concerned with user experience; they can endure a bit more.
I also noticed that when Binance was promoting Alpha and memes, it indeed coincided with last year’s crazy meme market during the National Day holiday—great opportunities! Then they started promoting US stocks, which turned out well. It seems that folks in the crypto space need to be flexible and adapt to the trends; if you cling to altcoins too tightly, it could end badly.
Binance, Bybit, OKX, and others are all aggressively pushing US stocks and precious metals. In the past, I saw a lot of resistance in the groups, with people thinking we’re here to make a comeback, not to trade stocks. But over time, discussions have shifted more towards US stocks rather than various altcoins. People have realized that US stocks can also have significant volatility and, importantly, potential for massive gains.
In my view, the support for US stocks by major exchanges is actually quite good; it injects more value into this gaming arena, increasing its worth. In the crypto casino, besides hoarding BTC, there are now other options, making it more diversified.
Moreover, the crypto space feels more like an intense battle game akin to PUBG, with fierce competition, various on-chain micro-innovations like V4 hook, and meme narratives from celebrities/social hotspots. Are these things really that important?
Not at all. It’s more like a marketing tactic to get more people involved in this shooting game, where the topic draws players in for a battle royale that will eventually conclude. However, this game is also a pocket-pulling contest, quite brutal.
Now, those playing with V4 hook might have forgotten the terrifying feeling of being at the mercy of various ETH projects in the early years, and they also seem to have forgotten the benefits brought by early pump/four templates. No more worries about being rugged.
Many things are cyclical, just like trends; it all comes down to who has more influence.
The current state of the crypto world feels chaotic, with countless complaints, but is it really worthless?
Not at all! If you look at a casino, there are very few game types. The crypto space actually provides excellent infrastructure, offering gamblers a plethora of gameplay options. We can do so many things, 😄, but more often than not, we’re still gambling...
Here are a few simple examples:
1. Collateralize coins, instant borrow U; think about it, in real life, collateralizing a car/house to apply for a loan is such a hassle. 2. Fast transfers; previously, for remote work, receiving USD via PayPal had a fee of around 2.6% or 5%. 3. U cards; using U for various coins can get you credit cards from other countries—super convenient, helping bypass payment restrictions from ChatGPT/Claude, using the most advanced AI; it’s hard to imagine life without these AI tools now. 4. Recent Pre-IPO deals and various US stocks, precious metals, and indices from different countries—it’s truly a mixed bag.
Let’s work hard to make money in the crypto space and stock up on some BTC and US QQQ, etc.
In the last two weekends, or in the evenings, I occasionally played Peace Elite, but then I gave up.
Well, I bought a four/six-finger auxiliary button and finger sleeves, watched some expert videos, but it was useless; I'm still that noob.
Well, this isn't the first time I've given up; in shooting games, at least in my memory, it's the second time I've picked it up and put it down again. Well, I'm still that noob.
Actually, similar things have happened not just with this game but also with badminton recently. I even hired a private coach, very professional, taught well, but I couldn't get into it, and I also gave up. 😄
😯 Also, there's mahjong. After the New Year, I suddenly felt like I was invincible, really wanted to find an expert to try. After returning to Chengdu, I played a game and got schooled. Turns out I'm a noob, and I don't want to play anymore; there's no thrill, and what's the point?
People seem to have to admit that in many fields, there are people who are much stronger than you. It's not just a matter of asking AI and summarizing experiences. Yes, I asked AI repeatedly about various details and techniques in Peace Elite, and it was hilarious, 😄 but I couldn't do it.
After the explosion of AI, there is a feeling of self-funded work, expenses have increased, and the cost of AI is about $1000 per month, while opportunities remain unchanged, leading to more competition.
Everyone is getting stronger, it seems they are more intense in their efforts.
Moreover, many people may have spent token money, but they are not earning any coins.
The explosion of AI tools seems to benefit 0xsun the most, as well as being calm and other players who are sensitive to strategies.
Secondary strategy-type things do not require millisecond-level battles; it is more about inspiration. In the past, programmers like us could still provide some value to others, but now, 😄, it's of no use, everyone has万能的ai.
Control and thinking in the big direction are more important; it feels somewhat talent-based, and I certainly do not have it.
Watching Brother Sun and being calm, the breadth and depth of their thinking are increasing, while we continue to be stuck in our little world, it's really embarrassing, 😄, we're just trying to make a living on this chain.
I can only comfort myself like this, without this talent, with my head buried in the sand, 😄, I can't see.
Recently went to Macau, lost 2000, bet 2 small, 1 500, the second 1500, all lost.
The casino is indeed decorated very lavishly, and it really feels like they make money too quickly, equivalent to directly reaching into your pocket.
When taking the casino bus back, I suddenly understood why they have these free buses, at least allowing the gamblers who have lost everything to return to their hotels or find friends to lend them money, so they don't get stranded in the casino.
In comparison, the cryptocurrency world is also gambling, but it seems more complicated, with more twists and turns, while the casino is more direct and brutal, not requiring much thought.
It feels like, the gambling king of Macau, which used to sound impressive and somewhat cool, now I feel, it’s just very evil, amplifying the greed of countless people, and I don’t know how many families have been ruined.
For the vast majority of people, the best way is just not to enter the casino, not to start, and the same goes for the cryptocurrency world.
The sad thing is that the advancement of technology is not necessarily a good thing for ordinary people. In the past, at least one could be a consumable, and during the consumption process, one could still support a family. In the future, there may not even be the opportunity to be a consumable.
AI will indeed greatly enhance efficiency, but the working hours of workers will not change. Employers will fill those hours, and workers will actually become more exhausted, with more tasks to accomplish. Their expectations and requirements will significantly increase. Well, you need to master various skills and be proficient in everything.
The efficiency improvement brought by AI, combined with hardware like robots, is applicable in all fields. Top talents (not just workers) will have more time liberated, allowing for more thought, and thus the evolution and breakthrough speed in various industries will also accelerate.
From an investment perspective, the more it relates to intellectual work, the greater the risk, because iterations happen too quickly and can easily reach a peak. It requires a more rapid execution, quick validation, and fast monetization and exit, more PVP.
Entrepreneurship aimed at wealthy individuals is more reliable, as this class generally has a stronger awareness and self-transformation ability, with more stable consumption power. The market will always exist; sports and health will be increasingly emphasized, like high-level private skiing coaches, etc.
The tide washes away the sand, forming a pyramid shape, with countless people falling layer by layer, and the bottom will become even more competitive, forcing out more competition and better services. However, this service is essentially against human nature; if you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will.
Sales and state-owned enterprises will fare better. Sales require the warmth of connections and personal relationships, while state-owned enterprises benefit from resource protection.
Power is eternal and unchanging. The Four Great Classics have always told us to take civil service exams and secure a position. 😄
In the past, clocking in at the office, or later doing remote work, it was always the younger brother doing the tasks.
Recently, I've been using AI like crazy, and I finally feel like a technical person is transitioning to management, instructing AI to do things. However, I still don't really feel like a manager or a leader, 😄; maybe it's just that AI is too obedient, lacking that sense of physical presence.
In the evening, sometimes, I don’t want to take a shower, don’t want to sleep. I understand now, why when reading books back then, I couldn't write anything in Chinese, because my experiences were too few. As an adult, I can, because behind a short article, there could actually be decades of feelings highly condensed. After taking a shower, I suddenly wanted to write it down, although it was very late, and although I had no ideas, it was more like skimming through, throwing away watermelon peels. If I don’t write it now, when I wake up, I might not have the motivation anymore. It was around 2015, the last time I resigned; it has been exactly ten years now, and I haven’t gone to work at a company since then, no longer a workhorse, so I can stay up late as I please. At most, I'll sleep in until I naturally wake up tomorrow.
In the past two days, I experienced the desktop version of Claude, focusing on coworking, and it felt great with all kinds of scheduled tasks and such.
In the future, I will significantly reduce my time spent on Twitter. After all, it seems like watching is just pointless; it appears useful, but it seems unhelpful for making money. I am quite utilitarian.
Later, I will input my child's school and training pickup times into the system to automatically generate event reminders in Google Calendar.
I feel that in the past, everyone was actually very anxious; it seemed like they were scrolling through Twitter, wanting to work hard, but in reality, it was just useless effort for themselves.
I apologize, but in the future, I will communicate less with real people and chat and learn more with AI. With increased efficiency, I can go offline to play Mahjong, play badminton, watch movies, etc.
I feel that in the future world, there will indeed be more manufacturers needing to develop MCPs and skills, making better adaptations for agents. For example, I really need services like JD.com, and suddenly had an idea to automatically buy some good books and ship them to my friends instead of having to operate manually.
For the performance of 25 years, the overall rating is 70 points.
Expectations for 26 years are between 75-80.
Then there are a few important directions that need adjustment:
1. AI is no longer just guiding programming; it also needs to communicate more about life, investment targets, etc.
2. On the server side, it also needs to fully embrace AI and agents. Security issues, such as private keys, should be fully released, allowing funds that can afford to lose, giving the highest permissions to test servers, and isolating private keys for test accounts and master accounts.
3. Investment targets are no longer limited to just the cryptocurrency sector; we should try to learn more about other markets.
4. Programming should mainly follow the plan mode, with repeated communication of requirements beforehand, detailed breakdowns, supplementary details, and maintaining documentation. Additionally, existing systems also need to continuously update documentation and decompose systems to facilitate AI hot starts to understand processes. Pure CLI dialogue flows can lose a lot of information. Furthermore, when the system becomes too large, without these documents, understanding the system can actually be overwhelming.
5. Actively embrace AI tools to improve efficiency; for example, on mobile, it can also do work since the code isn't written by oneself.
I woke up very early this morning. In my dream, I was back in my hometown, arranging Mahjong for my uncles and serving tea and water.
I don't know why my memories of the Spring Festival during childhood always linger on the heavy snowfall outside, with the black-and-white TV playing the sequel of Journey to the West, where Wutian and Wukong were battling. On the table were sunflower seeds and peanuts, and we lived in poverty.
I have always felt some regret that there hasn't been a class reunion for the tenth anniversary of our university graduation.
After the college entrance examination, we visited each other's homes. I still remember what my classmate's grandfather said: "If you become wealthy, don't forget each other." But now, as we enter society, we drift further apart, and it seems we don't even know what to say to each other, wanting to speak but holding back.
In middle age, many things become clear and aren't easy. I also hope that children have more happiness during their childhood because growing up brings too much hardship.
A heart as delicate as a seven-star pendant.
