Just testing a simple note, a few lines of text. Don’t read this, this is for testing purposes and will be removed once I’ve iterated this design to the basic level that I’m ok with.

Break your (my) overthinking habits
Yes I suffer from overthinking. Daniel Pink just gave us overthinkers a way to break the habit: 24 hours no complaining allowed. Watch the video to know why.

How big is Bitcoin?
Big. This is a fun and insightful comparison between Bitcoin as an IPO (since Bitcoin ETFs – Exchange Traded Funds – became available recently) and other tech IPOs.
Bitcoin has limited utility value, just imagine what Ethereum as an IPO would look like. That is store of value combined with utility value.

China and AI dominance
The New York Times has a piece on the China’s Rush to Dominate A.I. Comes with a Twist: It Depends on U.S. Technology. It argues that China is at least a year behind on the U.S. and its A.I. Efforts are based on U.S. open source models and chip technology.
It misses a key point in my opinion. China is applying the long game it has applied so often. It starts out by copying (this time open source) and then iterating its way to a leading position in the future. I strongly believe that the fastest learner wins and China’s culture, work ethic and resources will contribute to this. Also in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Underestimating that is a big mistake.
