The ability to grasp the essence—the INSIGHT—is everything. You can outsource or delegate many tasks, but the insight must remain your own.

Insight drives conviction, and conviction fuels perseverance.

So, how do you develop INSIGHT? From my experience, it starts with mastering the highest forms of human knowledge: math, physics, and engineering. These disciplines capture the purest forms of logic and discovery. Next, it’s essential to understand human nature—the principles that govern us as both a species and individuals with godlike properties.

To achieve this, immerse yourself in the interpretations of the greatest minds. Learn from Cherno about how PC memory works in coding. Explore Quantsense’s insights on how quantum mechanics is deduced. Study the abstraction of high-level mathematical forms, such as homology. Appreciate Google Brain’s brilliance in applying query, key, and value matrices to transformers/LLMs. Observe the managerial logic and implementation strategies of visionaries like the founder of ByteDance.

Keep reading, listening, and absorbing the wisdom of the best. Insight is the key to understanding and tackling challenging problems! The ultimate goal is to solve problems for the society!

From End to present, always remember the ultimate end goal, decisions and actions today are clear

1. Finance investment industry is undergoing a profound transformation driven by AI, yet the core goal of allocating capital to the best investments remains unchanged. AI is simply enabling a significantly more effective approach to achieving this goal. Is it mere coincidence that DeepSeek emerged as a spin-off from the quant hedge fund High Flyer? Perhaps not. Increasingly, investment institutions are quietly making substantial efforts to integrate AI into their strategies, much like High Flyer is doing today.
2. Finance data and analytics providers are also facing disruption driven by AI. With the announcement of “Operator” by OpenAI, it highlights how virtual agents are increasingly replacing human labor in tasks such as data collection, cleansing, and organization.
3. Most current asset managers struggle to keep up with the technological advancements relevant to their work. They rely heavily on support from data vendors or auxiliary entities, such as index providers, to develop effective investment strategies. In contrast, visionary entrepreneurs like ByteDance’s founder are already aiming to disrupt entire industries, such as healthcare, by taking direct control rather than merely assisting outdated service providers. I believe there are similar disruptors emerging in the finance industry.
4. Ultimately, the company may find itself on a downward trend, making it sensible to sell this business branch. At that point…
5. In the meantime, the focus should be on creating, writing, and recording valuable content that addresses small, specific problems. There is significant demand from countless individuals seeking solutions to these minor issues. By helping them with these small challenges, we can gradually build up to tackle larger problems over time.
