Steve Jobs’s exile was not a detour. It was the crucible.

In my conversation with Geoffrey Cain on Steve Jobs in Exile, we explored what Jobs learned from NeXT, Pixar and failure — and what those lessons reveal about Apple’s future.

I spoke with Eric Ries on Analyse Podcast about how AI changes the Lean Startup.

AI makes building faster: code, MVPs, landing pages, proposals. But Eric’s point is sharper: faster output is not the same as validated learning.

The founder advantage is still learning faster than everyone else.

The Rising Impact of Open Source - Above the Crowd

Instead of reading others’ definition of #foundermode, this is the best I have listened to: https://overcast.fm/+ABA27uo-p38 - Brian Chesky from Airbnb on invest like the best podcast
Brian Chesky - AI Founder Mode - [Invest Like the Best, EP.470] — Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy

My guest today is Brian Chesky, the co-founder and CEO of Airbnb. Our conversation traces the path from his early training as an industrial designer at RISD through the pandemic moment that forced him into founder mode. He explains why he thinks AI founder mode will demand even more attention to the details and why founders are rarely good early CEOs. He walks through his eleven-star exercise, which is a way of imagining the most absurd version of a customer experience to achieve product market fit. We also talk about what changed for him when he stopped chasing adulation and started making things for the love of making them.

梁忠伟:当智能不再稀缺,教育应培养什么? https://www.zaobao.com.sg/forum/views/story20260507-9013594 - I wrote my first opinion article in Singapore's premiere Chinese newspaper @zaobaosg on why the whole education system in #Singapore and globally need to change as we switch to a world with abundant intelligence.
梁忠伟:当智能不再稀缺,教育应培养什么?

我第一次向6岁儿子展示ChatGPT时,屏幕上迅速显示出一个结构完整、内容详尽的答案。他的第一反应不是惊叹,而是质疑:“这个答案是从哪里来的?”这种本能的怀疑精神,恰恰是我们的教育体系应培养的能力。然而现实是,我们花十几年时间训练学生积累答案,并在考试中复述它们。当人工智能(AI)可随时生成答案时,这个模式已经失效。原因不在于技术,而在于经济学。

Online fraud is an economics problem.

Scammers are profit-seeking actors, so platforms must raise their cost of attack.

In my conversation with Yoel Roth via @analyseasia we discussed why tools like Tinder’s Face Check add purposeful friction: harder for scammers, safer for users.

The real question: where does friction create trust?

AI reprices knowledge. The education systems built on knowledge accumulation are breaking. The question is whether we have the imagination to rebuild them.
