刚刚看了下百度的财报，
单季度亏损112亿，创下纪录。
今年估计更惨。
AI正在掘搜索引擎的坟，
百度砸2000亿搞出来的文心一言，
先是在发布会上翻车出丑，
后又把和苹果的合作谈崩，
更重要的是，互联网没有忘记“魏则西”。
所以百度走到今天，
没人惋惜，没人共情，甚至没人觉得意外。

In 2014, CZ, who had only been exposed to the concept of cryptocurrency for a year, made the most daring investment of his life—selling his apartment in Shanghai and "All In" on about 1,500 BTC for a three-figure price. Twelve years later, if CZ had never sold, this investment would have brought in a substantial profit of hundreds of millions of dollars (peak return of about $189 million).
Compared to the later establishment of Bina...

The day CZ missed his best investment, Crypto missed out on AI.

百度相当于中国的facebook，每一步都踩错🤣

Baidu is like Facebook in China; it makes mistakes at every step. 🤣

Very good points Mato
Where do I predict timelines though? I recall saying it’s near impossible to predict a timeline
