About five years ago, when I was thinking about getting into tech, I read Kevin Kelly’s books, including Out of Control. They changed how I thought about the mobile internet and where technology was heading. I never expected to run into him in person at TIAT in San Francisco. TIAT stands for The Intersection of Art and Technology—a community for creative technologists, generative artists, and designers. The event’s theme was “Emerging Chinese Culture.” Kevin asked me a question that caught me off guard: What original games, sports, or foods are coming out of China today? His point was that China is increasingly creating its own ideas, rather than simply copying what already exists. I think that shift is happening, but honestly, I didn’t do a great job of finding examples on the spot. He ended up offering a few himself: bubble tea—though he then pointed out that it originated in China Taiwan—and robot competitions as an emerging sport. For games, all I could come up with was Black Myth: Wukong. My mind went blank after that. It’s funny: you spend years thinking about someone’s ideas, then finally meet them and struggle to answer a question you wish you’d thought more about. Another guest was Darren, a Thiel Fellow and an impressive Chinese heritage biologist and entrepreneur

If you are learning art, music, gaming, animation, anime, or anything similar, and you are in San Francisco or New York in October, just hit me up. Maybe we can sit down and grab a drink. I can share my insights with you, and maybe we can cooperate.

I really feel grateful for those big figures who can frankly, very honestly, share what they went through before they achieved their success. These truths really help young people, or those coming after them, to believe in themselves and hold a very steady mindset on their pilgrimage.

I will be in San Francisco for SF Tech Week. If you are around or want to meet up, just hit me up. Maybe we can talk.

I find that sometimes I understand a concept or get to know a topic better by explaining it to others.

I really don't think the LLM API is a good business. Every time a model gets a new update, so many people post their testing results and yell, "Wow, this is fantastic!" But no one has any loyalty to any specific model, let alone a willingness to pay for one all the time. Again, I just don't think this is a good business for the long run.

Well, I guess opinions on this point vary a lot.😂Yeah, personally, I'm one of those founders who use AI to code.

This clearly shows again that it doesn't matter what you post; it only matters who you are.

Calendly and Typeless are the best SaaS I've used over the years. What's your choice?

I still don't get it. Why is everyone DMing me about B2B business? My business is B2C, and our daily active users are all consumer users. Why is it that the US market, especially Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, doesn't pay much attention to consumer products? I'm a big fan of consumer products.

Did anyone try Typeless? This product totally changed how I interact with the computer and how I work. Damn, it's so smooth.

Friend got rejected by YC, but she was happy cuz her project was among the top 10%. I said they send this to most candidates. I heard it from other friends. Is that for real?

treat others like how you want to be treated
