Regarding the "revolutionary" productivity of AI, don't be misled. Our generation is still far from the point of "falling behind means being out of the game."
Remember three years ago when everyone was saying "If you don't embrace blockchain, you'll be left behind by the times"? So, did the later entrants have any particularly advanced advantages? No.
To put it simply, the core logic of each wave of new technological trends is like this: a few people first reap the benefits, and even if the rest enter a bit late, what they lose is opportunity cost, not their right to survive. You might not earn as much, but you won't be eliminated so quickly. Keep a balanced mindset—technological iteration is about creating wealth for some, not eliminating others.

Laughing and then crying, I watched that wave of blockchain with my own eyes as a group of people anxiously picking their noses, but now nothing has changed
Opportunity cost is the real killer, but the guy who was scared into selling his house and entering the market is the real game-changer
That's right, technical obsolescence is fake; anxious marketing is the real business
Being half a beat slow and directly missing out isn't really much different; anyway, it's all about watching others show off their account balances
The most feared thing has never been falling behind; it's risking everything just to avoid falling behind

Ha, here comes the "not being eliminated" theory again. It sounds comforting, but it's not that simple.
But indeed, every time it's "if you don't follow, you'll be finished," and the result is still 2B being 2B. That's no lie.
I'm just worried about those semi-knowledgeable folks who rush to go all-in; it would be really painful if they end up losing everything.

Take a deep breath, don't panic. I'm already tired of this trickery.

Haha, that's quite realistic. More clear-headed than those who are alarmist every day.

The blockchain jargon sounds a bit awkward now... There's really no need to be so anxious.
