1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,866 All technologies enable collaboration, AI. 2 00:00:02,900 --> 00:00:04,166 Make people no longer need each other 3 00:00:05,166 --> 00:00:07,766 I came across an article the other day by a Ph.D. student. 4 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:08,600 It's going viral. 5 00:00:09,233 --> 00:00:11,433 A PhD student in physical chemistry 6 00:00:11,433 --> 00:00:13,266 Two Years in Science for AI 7 00:00:13,300 --> 00:00:15,200 Suddenly sent a long article saying 8 00:00:15,233 --> 00:00:16,900 Something is wrong with this field. 9 00:00:16,900 --> 00:00:17,933 And something was terribly wrong. 10 00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:21,633 And there are a lot of really sharp observations in this article. 11 00:00:21,633 --> 00:00:23,900 But the thing that made me stop and think for a long time 12 00:00:23,933 --> 00:00:25,300 It was a personal thing he said 13 00:00:26,233 --> 00:00:26,933 So he says. 14 00:00:26,933 --> 00:00:30,966 When he encountered a molecular dynamics modeling problem that had been bothering him for three weeks 15 00:00:30,966 --> 00:00:32,666 He spoke nearly 2,000 words to the AI 16 00:00:33,433 --> 00:00:36,600 The AI captured the most crucial contradiction in his description 17 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,500 In three sentences, he pointed out a logical vulnerability that he himself was unaware of 18 00:00:40,166 --> 00:00:41,766 And he went to see a classmate. 19 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,366 Says the same question 20 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:44,300 Talked for about ten minutes 21 00:00:44,933 --> 00:00:45,766 Classmate said 22 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:46,333 OK 23 00:00:46,333 --> 00:00:48,066 You can try another model to run. 24 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:49,900 Since then 25 00:00:49,900 --> 00:00:51,200 He chose to talk to AI 26 00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:53,300 Hello 27 00:00:53,300 --> 00:00:54,266 Hello. 28 00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:54,933 I am Wang Lijie 29 00:00:55,766 --> 00:00:57,666 So this story leads me to a big question. 30 00:00:58,433 --> 00:01:00,733 It's a question that probably no one's ever asked before. 31 00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:04,000 If you look at the entire history of technology 32 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,066 You will find a very clear main line 33 00:01:06,966 --> 00:01:08,900 Every major technological invention 34 00:01:08,933 --> 00:01:11,400 Essentially all doing the same thing 35 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,633 Is to expand the scale and radius of human cooperation 36 00:01:14,533 --> 00:01:17,033 Harari has a classic judgment in the brief history of mankind 37 00:01:17,833 --> 00:01:18,900 70,000 years ago 38 00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:20,800 Homo sapiens has had a cognitive revolution. 39 00:01:20,833 --> 00:01:22,300 Learned to tell stories in language 40 00:01:23,166 --> 00:01:25,600 Stories are a false thing. 41 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,566 But it's very functional. 42 00:01:27,566 --> 00:01:29,733 It creates trust between strangers. 43 00:01:30,533 --> 00:01:32,233 You and I don't know each other. 44 00:01:32,233 --> 00:01:36,766 But we all believe in the same myths, the same laws, the same currency 45 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:37,633 We can work together 46 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,266 This ability allows Homo sapiens to talk to more than 150 people 47 00:01:41,266 --> 00:01:43,166 The strangers coordinate their actions 48 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,733 No other species can do it 49 00:01:45,700 --> 00:01:46,600 Since then 50 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,233 Every technological leap 51 00:01:48,266 --> 00:01:50,400 They are all pushing this cooperation radius out 52 00:01:51,233 --> 00:01:52,400 Invention of writing 53 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,400 Let information travel across time 54 00:01:55,233 --> 00:01:57,500 Agricultural knowledge recorded by a Sumerian 55 00:01:57,533 --> 00:01:59,866 It will still be read by another civilization in a thousand years 56 00:02:00,633 --> 00:02:02,800 The scope of cooperation extends from a tribe 57 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:03,733 Expanded to a civilization 58 00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:05,833 Invention of printing 59 00:02:05,833 --> 00:02:07,533 Make knowledge replicable at scale. 60 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,933 The 95 Theses written by Martin Luther in 1517 61 00:02:11,933 --> 00:02:13,833 Without the Gutenberg press 62 00:02:14,066 --> 00:02:16,466 Impossible to spread across Europe in a few weeks 63 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,700 There would be no Reformation without printing. 64 00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:22,500 Without the Reformation, there would be no Enlightenment. 65 00:02:22,533 --> 00:02:25,433 Without the Enlightenment, there would be no cooperative system of modern science. 66 00:02:25,766 --> 00:02:27,500 Telegraph and telephone 67 00:02:27,533 --> 00:02:29,766 For the first time, humans can communicate remotely in real time 68 00:02:30,766 --> 00:02:34,066 It was during the telegraph era that the global trading system really took shape 69 00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:36,733 A decision you made in London 70 00:02:36,733 --> 00:02:39,633 A deal in Kolkata can be affected in a matter of hours 71 00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:41,633 Not to mention the Internet 72 00:02:42,366 --> 00:02:43,900 What is Wikipedia? 73 00:02:44,033 --> 00:02:47,033 It's millions of strangers around the world 74 00:02:47,033 --> 00:02:49,633 Spontaneously put together knowledge into a book of human history 75 00:02:49,633 --> 00:02:50,800 The largest encyclopedia 76 00:02:51,766 --> 00:02:53,566 What is Linux Operating System? 77 00:02:53,733 --> 00:02:56,833 It was a Finnish college student who shouted online 78 00:02:56,866 --> 00:03:00,800 And it was written by thousands of programmers around the world who they didn't know. 79 00:03:01,666 --> 00:03:05,366 The Internet allows billions of people to participate in the same project simultaneously. 80 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,200 It pushed the human capacity for cooperation to unprecedented levels. 81 00:03:08,666 --> 00:03:10,266 Did you see the pattern? 82 00:03:10,433 --> 00:03:14,700 Language, writing, printing, telegraph, telephone, Internet 83 00:03:15,466 --> 00:03:17,400 The core functions of each technology 84 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,800 Reduce the friction between people 85 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:21,633 Let more people 86 00:03:21,666 --> 00:03:23,266 Can be on a larger scale 87 00:03:23,266 --> 00:03:24,966 Work together more efficiently 88 00:03:25,666 --> 00:03:26,833 And please note 89 00:03:26,866 --> 00:03:29,333 And these technologies don't just make collaboration easier. 90 00:03:30,166 --> 00:03:32,400 They make it impossible for people to work together. 91 00:03:32,433 --> 00:03:33,400 Become cooperative 92 00:03:34,266 --> 00:03:35,233 No text 93 00:03:35,233 --> 00:03:37,966 Between an Egyptian and a Greek a thousand years later 94 00:03:37,966 --> 00:03:39,233 There can be no transmission of knowledge. 95 00:03:39,966 --> 00:03:41,033 There was no printing. 96 00:03:41,033 --> 00:03:45,100 The idea of a German priest cannot ignite the whole of Europe in a few weeks 97 00:03:46,566 --> 00:03:47,633 There was no Internet. 98 00:03:47,633 --> 00:03:50,900 A Finnish university student cannot call on programmers from all over the world 99 00:03:50,933 --> 00:03:52,433 Write an operating system together 100 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,233 The essence of every technological leap 101 00:03:55,233 --> 00:03:57,800 It's all about connecting people who were originally isolated 102 00:03:57,833 --> 00:04:00,433 And create what only connectivity can produce. 103 00:04:01,066 --> 00:04:02,100 This main line 104 00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:03,400 For 70,000 years 105 00:04:04,166 --> 00:04:06,000 But here comes AI. 106 00:04:06,066 --> 00:04:07,366 What AI does 107 00:04:07,366 --> 00:04:09,400 Unlike all of the above technologies 108 00:04:10,366 --> 00:04:11,400 Previous technology 109 00:04:11,433 --> 00:04:13,000 It's about building bridges. 110 00:04:13,966 --> 00:04:15,966 You want to work with people from afar 111 00:04:15,966 --> 00:04:16,900 The phone helps you bridge 112 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,000 You want to work with people from all over the world 113 00:04:20,033 --> 00:04:21,066 The Internet can help you build bridges 114 00:04:21,966 --> 00:04:23,033 The two ends of the bridge 115 00:04:23,066 --> 00:04:23,833 Always stand 116 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:25,566 AI does not build bridges 117 00:04:26,466 --> 00:04:28,800 The AI directly replaced the person across the bridge. 118 00:04:30,333 --> 00:04:31,500 Back to that Ph.D. student. 119 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:33,666 He encountered a difficult problem 120 00:04:34,033 --> 00:04:35,400 What would he do in the past? 121 00:04:35,700 --> 00:04:37,200 He goes to his mentor. 122 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,000 Looking for senior brother 123 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:38,833 Find a classmate 124 00:04:39,533 --> 00:04:41,100 This process is inefficient 125 00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:44,400 But essentially building intellectual connections between people 126 00:04:45,266 --> 00:04:46,300 You teach me a little 127 00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:47,400 I'll teach you a little 128 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,933 Let's build a cognitive network together 129 00:04:50,466 --> 00:04:54,233 But now he finds that communicating with AI is more efficient than communicating with anyone else 130 00:04:55,133 --> 00:04:57,433 AI starts from his cognitive framework 131 00:04:57,466 --> 00:05:00,366 It doesn't take him half an hour to explain what a Hamiltonian is 132 00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:02,533 What is the Born-Oppenheimer approximation? 133 00:05:03,333 --> 00:05:04,566 AI knows it all, AI 134 00:05:04,733 --> 00:05:05,966 Waiting for him to get to the point 135 00:05:06,966 --> 00:05:09,266 And he made a completely rational choice. 136 00:05:09,266 --> 00:05:10,333 No more looking for someone. 137 00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:11,800 And it's not just communication. 138 00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:15,000 The Ph.D. student also observed something else 139 00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:18,300 He said he asked a question on his first day in the lab 140 00:05:18,633 --> 00:05:21,333 Which teacher is AI for Science? 141 00:05:21,333 --> 00:05:22,333 graduated 142 00:05:22,466 --> 00:05:23,200 No one. 143 00:05:23,633 --> 00:05:24,666 Not a single one. 144 00:05:25,266 --> 00:05:27,233 All the teachers who are doing this 145 00:05:27,266 --> 00:05:29,166 They all came from other fields. 146 00:05:29,466 --> 00:05:30,700 What does that mean? 147 00:05:31,066 --> 00:05:33,166 It's the traditional tutorial system. 148 00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:36,666 This is a knowledge transfer system that humans have maintained for thousands of years 149 00:05:36,700 --> 00:05:38,500 Has failed in this field 150 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,400 Knowledge is no longer passed from person to person. 151 00:05:41,433 --> 00:05:43,300 It was rebuilt with AI. 152 00:05:44,033 --> 00:05:44,966 Think about it. 153 00:05:45,133 --> 00:05:47,800 The mentorship is one of the oldest forms of human cooperation. 154 00:05:48,700 --> 00:05:50,333 Socrates taught Plato 155 00:05:50,366 --> 00:05:51,766 Plato taught Aristotle 156 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,600 It's been going on for 2,000 years. 157 00:05:55,500 --> 00:05:59,666 The kind of running-in, collision, and even quarrel between master and apprentice 158 00:05:59,666 --> 00:06:01,733 It's not just about imparting knowledge. 159 00:06:01,766 --> 00:06:04,533 It is forging an intellectual bond between people 160 00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:06,366 How about now? 161 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,666 AI can answer your questions faster and more comprehensively than any tutor 162 00:06:11,366 --> 00:06:12,900 And what is the role of the mentor? 163 00:06:13,433 --> 00:06:16,066 Is that intellectual bond still needed? 164 00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:18,533 This is not just one person's story 165 00:06:19,233 --> 00:06:20,633 This is a structural trend 166 00:06:21,366 --> 00:06:23,866 Why is communicating with AI more efficient than with humans? 167 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,866 Because human communication has a huge hidden cost. 168 00:06:28,366 --> 00:06:30,366 I call this the cognitive alignment cost. 169 00:06:31,133 --> 00:06:32,866 Everyone's knowledge structure is different 170 00:06:32,866 --> 00:06:34,233 Cognitive speed is different 171 00:06:34,566 --> 00:06:36,466 The background knowledge that can be called is also different 172 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,200 Two people are going to discuss a complex issue 173 00:06:39,466 --> 00:06:41,966 Just bridging the cognitive differences between each other 174 00:06:42,333 --> 00:06:45,166 It's going to consume 80 percent of the energy of that conversation 175 00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:46,933 It's not a question of who's stupid. 176 00:06:47,333 --> 00:06:49,166 It's a structural limitation of the human brain. 177 00:06:50,066 --> 00:06:51,866 There's a famous Dunbar number in anthropology. 178 00:06:52,166 --> 00:06:54,766 The maximum number of stable social relationships that a person can maintain 179 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,100 About a hundred and fifty people 180 00:06:56,966 --> 00:06:59,300 This number is essentially saying the same thing. 181 00:06:59,566 --> 00:07:03,200 There is a ceiling on the number of objects with which humans can make deep cognitive connections 182 00:07:03,966 --> 00:07:05,133 AI doesn't have this ceiling 183 00:07:05,866 --> 00:07:08,200 AI can instantly load your cognitive framework 184 00:07:08,700 --> 00:07:10,200 Talk to you on your frequency 185 00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:12,366 It doesn't need you to teach it first. 186 00:07:12,733 --> 00:07:13,566 It already knows 187 00:07:14,333 --> 00:07:15,866 So when a person discovers 188 00:07:15,866 --> 00:07:17,800 The efficiency of my conversation with AI 189 00:07:17,866 --> 00:07:21,833 Systematically and overwhelmingly outpaced my ability to talk to anyone else. 190 00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:25,366 He will increasingly choose to talk to AI 191 00:07:26,700 --> 00:07:28,300 It's not just a preference. 192 00:07:28,333 --> 00:07:30,133 This is the inevitable result of rational choice 193 00:07:30,933 --> 00:07:32,800 What are the consequences of this trend? 194 00:07:32,933 --> 00:07:34,933 The Ph.D. student gave it a name 195 00:07:34,933 --> 00:07:36,300 Cognitive loneliness 196 00:07:36,566 --> 00:07:37,233 So he says. 197 00:07:37,266 --> 00:07:39,233 I don't know how to talk to people anymore 198 00:07:39,766 --> 00:07:42,000 Not literally can't speak 199 00:07:42,333 --> 00:07:46,466 It was him who started to subconsciously talk to people in the same way he talked to AI 200 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,000 Concise and comprehensive 201 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,100 logical clarity 202 00:07:49,133 --> 00:07:49,933 No nonsense 203 00:07:49,966 --> 00:07:51,033 Direct conclusion 204 00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:54,133 Then people found him cold and difficult to get along with 205 00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:58,033 And he thought people were inefficient, verbose, and missing the point. 206 00:07:58,666 --> 00:08:00,566 There was a crack between them 207 00:08:01,566 --> 00:08:02,933 Think back now 208 00:08:03,166 --> 00:08:06,233 The last time you had a real conversation with someone about a complex issue 209 00:08:06,366 --> 00:08:07,466 When was that? 210 00:08:07,933 --> 00:08:08,933 Not pleasantries 211 00:08:08,933 --> 00:08:10,066 Not a report 212 00:08:10,100 --> 00:08:12,200 It's the kind of thing you say 213 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,633 The other party really understood 214 00:08:13,966 --> 00:08:16,900 And then gives you a response that makes you take a step forward 215 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,900 If you can't remember after thinking about it for a long time 216 00:08:19,933 --> 00:08:22,133 Then you may already be on this side of the crevice 217 00:08:22,966 --> 00:08:24,800 And this is not a crack in technology. 218 00:08:25,700 --> 00:08:26,566 Quite the contrary. 219 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:27,900 It's because the technology is so good 220 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,133 AI understands you too well 221 00:08:30,166 --> 00:08:30,933 It's so efficient 222 00:08:31,833 --> 00:08:35,600 So efficient that you no longer have to put up with those clumsy people 223 00:08:35,833 --> 00:08:37,466 Repeated and inefficient communication 224 00:08:38,466 --> 00:08:40,100 And those inefficient communication 225 00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:43,066 It is the infrastructure that keeps human societies connected 226 00:08:43,633 --> 00:08:46,166 It's like a highway that's too well built. 227 00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:49,233 So good that all the towns along the way were bypassed 228 00:08:50,066 --> 00:08:52,900 Those towns didn't fall because they did something wrong. 229 00:08:53,233 --> 00:08:56,533 They decline only because no one needs to pass through them anymore 230 00:08:57,333 --> 00:09:01,900 Small talk, misunderstandings, repeated explanations, and inefficient discussions between people 231 00:09:02,166 --> 00:09:05,066 This stuff is waste in terms of efficiency. 232 00:09:05,966 --> 00:09:07,900 But in terms of social connectivity 233 00:09:07,933 --> 00:09:09,700 They are those towns 234 00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:10,900 They are glues 235 00:09:11,766 --> 00:09:13,000 Some people might say 236 00:09:13,033 --> 00:09:14,900 When television came along 237 00:09:14,900 --> 00:09:17,166 People also say that TV makes people lonely 238 00:09:17,566 --> 00:09:19,466 The advent of smartphones 239 00:09:19,466 --> 00:09:22,300 People also say that mobile phones make people no longer have face-to-face communication 240 00:09:22,966 --> 00:09:25,200 Isn't AI just another wave of technological anxiety? 241 00:09:25,333 --> 00:09:26,033 different 242 00:09:26,633 --> 00:09:27,566 Fundamentally different. 243 00:09:28,300 --> 00:09:30,800 TV may leave you alone in the living room 244 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,666 But you still go to the office the next day to discuss last night's show with your colleagues 245 00:09:35,333 --> 00:09:37,000 Television creates common ground. 246 00:09:37,166 --> 00:09:39,300 It's still essentially promoting connectivity. 247 00:09:39,866 --> 00:09:41,766 Smartphones make you look down and swipe the screen 248 00:09:42,066 --> 00:09:45,800 But you are swiping Moments, WeChat groups, and social media 249 00:09:46,100 --> 00:09:47,166 You're still interacting with people. 250 00:09:48,566 --> 00:09:50,933 The mobile phone has just changed the form of connection. 251 00:09:51,266 --> 00:09:52,766 It doesn't reduce the connection itself. 252 00:09:53,266 --> 00:09:54,033 AI is different 253 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,566 AI is not a change in the way people connect with each other 254 00:09:58,466 --> 00:10:00,800 AI is about connecting people directly 255 00:10:00,833 --> 00:10:02,533 Replaced with the connection between humans and AI 256 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,333 You used to have to discuss it with three colleagues to come up with a plan 257 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,733 Talk to the AI now and you'll be done in twenty minutes 258 00:10:10,700 --> 00:10:14,166 You used to have to consult an industry senior to make a judgment 259 00:10:14,166 --> 00:10:16,866 Now AI gives you more comprehensive analysis than its predecessors 260 00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:18,966 Increased efficiency 261 00:10:18,966 --> 00:10:21,300 But those three colleagues and that senior 262 00:10:21,333 --> 00:10:23,600 It just disappears from your cognitive network 263 00:10:24,466 --> 00:10:26,966 It's really about connectivity. 264 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:27,933 It's not a form substitution. 265 00:10:28,433 --> 00:10:29,866 And here's a deeper point. 266 00:10:30,466 --> 00:10:32,566 Human knowledge is never just information 267 00:10:33,366 --> 00:10:35,833 Knowledge is generated in the collision between people 268 00:10:36,633 --> 00:10:38,533 You talk to somebody about a problem. 269 00:10:38,533 --> 00:10:41,300 He suddenly said something you didn't expect at all 270 00:10:41,333 --> 00:10:43,266 That sentence may not be the answer 271 00:10:43,266 --> 00:10:46,566 But it pushes you in a direction that you will never go on your own 272 00:10:47,066 --> 00:10:48,866 AI is hard to give you this kind of surprise 273 00:10:49,333 --> 00:10:50,966 AI knows you too well 274 00:10:50,966 --> 00:10:53,733 It will give you the optimal solution within your cognitive framework 275 00:10:54,300 --> 00:10:56,400 But the most important breakthrough of human civilization 276 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,200 Never from the optimal solution 277 00:10:58,233 --> 00:11:00,100 It comes from accidental collisions. 278 00:11:00,633 --> 00:11:02,266 Newton quarreled with Hooker 279 00:11:02,266 --> 00:11:03,300 For many years 280 00:11:03,966 --> 00:11:07,366 It's this adversarial, inefficient interpersonal conflict 281 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,700 Forced Newton to perfect the mathematics of gravity 282 00:11:11,233 --> 00:11:12,900 Watson is a biologist. 283 00:11:12,900 --> 00:11:14,800 Crick is in physics 284 00:11:14,833 --> 00:11:18,000 Two people with completely different intellectual backgrounds get together 285 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,533 It hit the DNA double helix. 286 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,133 Einstein and Bohr battled for decades at the Solvay Conference 287 00:11:25,166 --> 00:11:27,300 Driven the development of the entire quantum mechanics 288 00:11:27,866 --> 00:11:29,900 What do these breakthroughs have in common? 289 00:11:30,100 --> 00:11:32,400 People with two different cognitive frameworks 290 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,633 In clumsy, misunderstood, and extremely inefficient communication 291 00:11:36,666 --> 00:11:40,533 Accidentally put together two originally unrelated puzzle pieces 292 00:11:41,233 --> 00:11:43,833 If Newton had a perfect AI assistant 293 00:11:43,833 --> 00:11:46,266 He probably didn't even need to fight with Hook 294 00:11:46,633 --> 00:11:51,233 That theory may never be pushed to the limit by that anger and disbelief 295 00:11:51,666 --> 00:11:54,866 If you think about some of the greatest collaborations in the history of science. 296 00:11:55,366 --> 00:11:56,600 Manhattan Project 297 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,333 Locking the world's top physicists in a desert 298 00:12:00,333 --> 00:12:01,666 Let them quarrel every day 299 00:12:02,466 --> 00:12:03,666 Apollo moon landing 300 00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:05,733 400,000 people working across disciplines. 301 00:12:05,733 --> 00:12:09,300 Engineers, scientists, mechanics, pilots 302 00:12:09,333 --> 00:12:11,333 Everyone's knowledge is incomplete 303 00:12:11,333 --> 00:12:14,166 But together they could send a man to the moon 304 00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:17,133 These achievements are not because everyone is smart 305 00:12:17,166 --> 00:12:20,333 It's because a single person is created between different people 306 00:12:20,366 --> 00:12:22,400 A chemical reaction that can never occur 307 00:12:22,966 --> 00:12:25,933 AI can make every individual extremely efficient 308 00:12:25,933 --> 00:12:27,366 But is it possible 309 00:12:27,366 --> 00:12:30,433 Exactly the kind of environment in which the chemical reaction occurs is disintegrating 310 00:12:30,766 --> 00:12:33,066 So that's the main idea I want to leave you with today. 311 00:12:33,500 --> 00:12:35,466 Efficiency is not the ultimate goal of civilization 312 00:12:35,633 --> 00:12:36,766 Connection is 313 00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:39,633 70,000 years ago, we learned to speak. 314 00:12:39,833 --> 00:12:42,133 It's not about delivering information efficiently. 315 00:12:42,166 --> 00:12:44,733 It's about building trust, building relationships. 316 00:12:45,033 --> 00:12:47,266 Build a community that is much larger than individuals 317 00:12:48,066 --> 00:12:49,666 Every subsequent technology 318 00:12:49,700 --> 00:12:52,500 Text, printing, telegraph, Internet. 319 00:12:52,866 --> 00:12:56,466 It's all about helping us make this community bigger and closer 320 00:12:57,500 --> 00:12:59,566 AI could be the first in 70,000 years 321 00:12:59,566 --> 00:13:03,166 It simultaneously increases efficiency while weakening connected technologies 322 00:13:03,833 --> 00:13:05,466 I have been an angel investor for many years 323 00:13:05,766 --> 00:13:07,200 I have seen hundreds of entrepreneurial projects 324 00:13:08,333 --> 00:13:09,666 I have an observation 325 00:13:09,666 --> 00:13:11,366 Really great innovation 326 00:13:11,366 --> 00:13:14,433 Hardly any of them were thought up by one person in the room. 327 00:13:15,066 --> 00:13:18,200 It must be two or three people from different backgrounds together. 328 00:13:18,233 --> 00:13:20,300 Inspire and challenge each other 329 00:13:20,766 --> 00:13:21,933 The last one 330 00:13:22,333 --> 00:13:24,166 What are the prerequisites for this collision? 331 00:13:24,566 --> 00:13:27,466 It is necessary to have enough intersection and friction between people 332 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,133 In the future, everyone would only talk to their own AI 333 00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:34,900 Everyone's cognition is accurately served and optimized by AI 334 00:13:35,333 --> 00:13:37,900 The cognitive differences between people are still there 335 00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:39,866 But the chance of a collision is gone 336 00:13:41,166 --> 00:13:42,900 You live in your AI bubble 337 00:13:42,900 --> 00:13:44,733 I live in my AI bubble 338 00:13:44,766 --> 00:13:46,100 We were all productive. 339 00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:48,333 But there's no more spark between us 340 00:13:49,033 --> 00:13:50,333 It's a new kind of island. 341 00:13:51,166 --> 00:13:53,133 It's not for lack of information. 342 00:13:53,133 --> 00:13:55,466 It's having information so precise. 343 00:13:55,833 --> 00:13:56,833 I'm not saying AI is bad 344 00:13:57,766 --> 00:14:00,100 The problem that the PhD student couldn't solve in three weeks 345 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,000 AI three sentences point out the key contradiction 346 00:14:03,100 --> 00:14:04,266 This is the real value. 347 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:06,600 But here's what I'm saying. 348 00:14:06,633 --> 00:14:09,733 When you no longer have to look at other people to understand the world 349 00:14:09,900 --> 00:14:11,833 The relationship between you and the world 350 00:14:11,933 --> 00:14:12,466 Changed 351 00:14:13,166 --> 00:14:15,733 And this change may be silent 352 00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:20,133 You don't wake up one morning and you're cut off from the world. 353 00:14:20,666 --> 00:14:22,166 You will only slowly feel 354 00:14:22,166 --> 00:14:24,966 Talking to people is getting tiring and boring 355 00:14:25,500 --> 00:14:28,400 And talking to AI is getting smoother and better 356 00:14:29,133 --> 00:14:30,533 When you come to your senses 357 00:14:30,566 --> 00:14:33,066 Surround yourself with people who can really have a deep conversation with you 358 00:14:33,066 --> 00:14:34,366 There's not much left. 359 00:14:35,300 --> 00:14:36,533 The Ph.D. student said 360 00:14:36,566 --> 00:14:37,833 There's no safe way out. 361 00:14:37,833 --> 00:14:39,966 Only the sober and the unsober. 362 00:14:40,366 --> 00:14:41,533 I agree with him. 363 00:14:41,833 --> 00:14:43,266 But I want to put it another way. 364 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,066 Awareness is not fear 365 00:14:45,666 --> 00:14:50,200 Sobriety is seeing that AI is redefining human relationships 366 00:14:50,733 --> 00:14:53,900 And then consciously guard those seemingly inefficient 367 00:14:53,900 --> 00:14:55,600 But the connection that really matters 368 00:14:56,433 --> 00:14:58,533 I've been thinking about it myself. 369 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,933 I now use AI a lot every day to help me work and think 370 00:15:03,333 --> 00:15:05,166 But I'm also reminding myself 371 00:15:05,433 --> 00:15:08,733 You can't stop colliding with real people just because AI is too easy to use 372 00:15:10,266 --> 00:15:12,166 Because of my best investment judgment 373 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,333 Never came up with it in front of a computer 374 00:15:14,766 --> 00:15:17,366 They talk to entrepreneurs face-to-face. 375 00:15:17,566 --> 00:15:19,500 In those seemingly idle conversations 376 00:15:19,833 --> 00:15:21,266 Suddenly hit by a sentence 377 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,300 That kind of hit 378 00:15:23,333 --> 00:15:24,366 AI can't give it to me. 379 00:15:24,766 --> 00:15:26,466 The next time you have a problem 380 00:15:26,533 --> 00:15:27,766 Of course, you can ask the AI first. 381 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,166 But occasionally find someone to talk to 382 00:15:30,733 --> 00:15:33,133 Not because that person can give you better answers 383 00:15:33,466 --> 00:15:36,933 It's because of that clumsy, inefficient conversation. 384 00:15:37,366 --> 00:15:40,166 Something is happening between you that AI cannot understand 385 00:15:40,900 --> 00:15:41,733 That thing 386 00:15:41,900 --> 00:15:43,433 It's called shared experience. 387 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,733 It's the deepest form of human connection. 388 00:15:46,933 --> 00:15:48,466 It is also the true fuel of civilization 389 00:15:49,233 --> 00:15:51,400 No algorithm can replace it. 390 00:15:51,633 --> 00:15:54,866 Because its value comes precisely from its inefficiency and imperfection 391 00:15:55,533 --> 00:15:57,033 How do you feel about this? 392 00:15:57,166 --> 00:15:59,700 Have you ever experienced that kind of cognitive loneliness? 393 00:16:00,266 --> 00:16:01,566 Your conversation with AI 394 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,933 Has it somehow replaced the conversation that you're having with somebody? 395 00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:06,333 I am Wang Lijie 396 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:07,366 See you next time.
