The Biggest Disruption Yet: AI’s Tipping Point - AI revolution **dwarfs past disruptions** - (PC, Internet, iPhone). - **Cost of Knowledge Approaching Zero:** - Just as the internet made information distribution free, AI is making **knowledge creation & access free**. - **Investment Surge:** - AI investment **now 20% of all global R&D spending**, up from 1% in 4 years. - **AI Adoption Curve:** - Faster than **Internet & PC adoption**, accelerating beyond predictions. 📝 *“2025 feels like 1995 for the internet, but magnified.”* ![[Pasted image 20250311121903.png|#left|300]] --- ### II. Three Categories of AI Transformation ![[IMG_0780.jpeg]] >[!info] 📌 Defined by **Roy Baha (Bloomberg Beta)**: >1. **Looms** → （织布机）→ AI 自动化重复性任务 > - AI automates repetitive tasks (e.g., data entry, logistics). >1. **Slide Rules** → （计算尺）→ AI 增强人类效率 > - AI enhances human efficiency (e.g., coding assistants, research tools). >1. **Cranes** → （起重机）AI 赋能人类无法完成的任务 > - AI enables tasks humans **could never do before** (e.g., AlphaFold for protein folding). 💡 **Strategic Thinking:** - **Identify** which **category of AI disruption** applies to your business. - Leverage AI to **automate, accelerate, or create new capabilities**. --- ### III. Emergent AI Capabilities: The Stochastic Parrot vs. Something More - Early skeptics dismissed **ChatGPT as just a "stochastic parrot"**, predicting the next word. - AI **demonstrates emergent intelligence** beyond simple prediction. - **Case Study:** - **AI identified suspense-building gaps** in an unpublished book manuscript. - **ChatGPT improved speech structure** based purely on logic & reasoning. - AI at scale reveals **capabilities beyond human comprehension**. 🤯 *“Predicting the next word at scale leads to an emergence of something new, beyond what I could comprehend.”* --- ## IV. 🌍 The Double-Edged Sword of AI ### The Good ✅ **Education & Knowledge** → AI as a universal tutor. ✅ **Healthcare & Scientific Discovery** → Cures, AI-driven research. ✅ **Automation & Efficiency** → Increased productivity in every sector. ### The Bad ❌ **Job Displacement** → Up to **80% of jobs automated** in 10 years. ❌ **Misinformation & Bias** → Deepfakes, AI-generated propaganda. ❌ **Energy Consumption** → AI data centers **massive CO₂ footprint**. ### The Ugly: Unintended Consequences - **CO₂ Emissions from AI:** Energy consumption was **never considered in early AI research**. - **Content Theft:** AI models **trained on copyrighted work** without compensation. - **AI Weaponization:** Uncontrolled rogue AI posing existential risks. ⚡ *“How do we maximize AI’s benefits while minimizing its unintended consequences?”* ![[IMG_0785 1.jpeg|#left|400]] --- ## V.📜 Three Major AI Challenges B is Addressing ### 1️⃣ Copyright Theft & Content Monetization 🔹 **Problem:** AI **scrapes content without attribution** → Creators lose revenue. 🔹 **Solution:** Bill Gross’ company **Pro Rata** measures AI content usage & shares **50% revenue** with creators. 🔹 **Key Mechanism:** AI models must **attribute content sources & distribute revenue accordingly** (like YouTube & Spotify). 🔎 **Pro Rata AI Model Example** - AI generates a response → **Tracks content origins** (e.g., 34% from The Atlantic, 25% Time, 16% The Guardian). - **Revenue distributed based on contribution**. - **Aim:** Establish **a fair standard for AI-generated content attribution**. 💡 *"In every other media industry (TV, music), revenue is shared—AI must follow suit."* --- ### 2️⃣ AI Search: The Death of Clicks #### 🔹 **Problem:** - AI-powered answers **reduce website traffic** → Content creators lose visibility & income. #### 🔹 **Shocking Data:** - Google now crawls **6x more than it delivers traffic**. - ChatGPT crawls **250x more than it delivers traffic**. - Anthropic’s Claude crawls **250,000x more**—a **broken value exchange**. #### 🔹 **Solution: AI Contextual Ads (Prompt-Based Advertising)** ✅ **AI reads full articles** & understands **context** (instead of relying on keywords). ✅ **Advertisers target AI-generated answers** & relevant articles. ✅ **Higher ROI & relevance** for advertisers. 📌 *"We’re shifting from **Keyword Advertising** → **Prompt Advertising**."* --- ### 3️⃣ AI’s Insatiable Energy Demand & Renewable Data Centers #### 🔹 **Problem:** AI data centers require **massive electricity** → CO₂ emissions skyrocketing. #### 🔹 **Solution:** **Onion-Shaped Pumped Hydro Storage** ✅ Stores solar energy **without water evaporation**. ✅ **Placed in deserts**, solves AI’s energy demand. ✅ **Cools data centers**, reducing **30% energy waste**. #### 💡 Vision: - A fully **renewable AI-powered world**. --- ## 📈 B’ Formula for Innovation & Startups ### 🔬 Lessons from 50+ IPOs & 150+ Startups #### 1️⃣ Be Bold, Challenge the Status Quo - **"Marketing is a tax on being unremarkable."** - Revolutionary ideas break through noise & **succeed faster**. - Example: **AI energy storage** → A radical, world-changing idea. - ![[IMG_0801.jpeg]] #### 2️⃣ Use Naysayers as Fuel - **Criticism fuels innovation**. - **Coco Gauff (US Open Winner)**: "Naysayers were pouring gas on my fire." - The **biggest ideas often start as ridiculed concepts**. ![[IMG_0803.jpeg]] #### 3️⃣ ==Timing > Everything== - AI **now possible because of past breakthroughs** (NLP, compute power). - *“Uber without GPS wouldn’t have worked.”* - **Timing dictates success more than ideas.** - ![[IMG_0804.jpeg]] #### 4.Iterate Like Crazy - IdeaLab should’ve been named **"Iterate Lab"**. - **Success comes from rapid iterations**. - *“Experimenting is the only real advantage startups have over big companies.”* #### 5️⃣ Survive the Dark Swamp of Despair --> ==Persistent== - Every startup goes through **a crisis period**. - **Persistence** differentiates success from failure. - Knowing **when to pivot** is crucial. ![[IMG_0806.jpeg]] #### 🛠 Framework for Entrepreneurs: ✅ **Disrupt boldly** → Aim for **high-impact change**. ✅ **Time your idea right** → Ensure the **world is ready**. ✅ **Iterate relentlessly** → Learn from **real-world feedback**. ✅ **Power through failure** → The **dark swamp** is inevitable. --- ## 🎯 Conclusion: The Future is in Our Hands 🔥 **AI will be the biggest disruption in human history.** 🔹 We must **maximize benefits** & **mitigate risks**. 🔹 AI’s **positive impact (knowledge, automation, innovation) must outweigh negatives (energy, bias, job loss)**. 🔹 **Bill’s Moonshot Vision:** Renewable energy, ethical AI, and **fair content monetization**. 🔗 **Call to Action** -
