AI Is Reshaping Career Hierarchies: It’s Not You Using AI—It’s AI Choosing You
1. At Tencent, at least 50% of the code is now generated by AI. Over 90% of engineers use Code Buddy, cutting development time by more than 40%, and boosting overall R&D efficiency by over 16%.
2. E-commerce, gold trading, and overseas stock investments are now subject to taxation.
3. Identify the most time-consuming, repetitive, and standardized tasks at work—and let AI handle them.
If you're in e-commerce, let AI write product descriptions so you can focus on product selection and strategy.
If you're a content creator, let AI gather materials while you focus on insights and perspectives.
4. I’ve installed this plugin but rarely use it: Tubenote – YouTube Summary with Gemini.
5. In the future, there will only be two types of people:
Those who make judgments and those who are judged.
The ones who can make judgments will use AI to drive decisions and control resources.
Those who can’t will work for AI—trading time for money.
6. Top platforms for going global and selling your skills:
Freelance / Service Platforms
- Fiverr, Upwork, Freelancer – Everything from translation and design to copywriting and video editing
- Italki, Preply – Teach English or Chinese, 1-on-1 lessons
- Voquent, Voices – Voice-over jobs in multiple languages
Digital Product Platforms
- Gumroad, Payhip, Etsy – Sell templates, digital assets, and tutorials
- Udemy, Skillshare – Create courses for long-term passive income
- Creative Market, Canva Creator – Upload and sell design assets
- YouTube, TikTok – Create content, build followers, monetize your skills
PS: In the long run, YouTube outperforms almost every domestic platform in China.
Foreign clients highly value Chinese skills—especially in design, programming, video editing, and 3D modeling. Our execution speed and cost-performance ratio are strong advantages. Yes, it takes time to figure out pricing and service standards (start by studying competitors), but once it scales, income becomes more stable—and paid in USD, which offers significant exchange-rate benefits.
7. Once you start making money, immediately separate personal and business finances. Your family must be shielded from risk—stability matters more than size.
8. Income comes in waves. When you’re making money, don’t over-leverage. Know when to stop and take profit.
9. Teach your children fewer opinions—and more universal principles and patterns of how things work.
10. Sleep more. Good sleep fixes more problems than you think.
