Brain food of this week.

In summary, electricity consumed by boring buildings is enormous with AI and robots coming to our life differently in China compared to the US. The most important thematic takeaway is constraints spur creative innovation boom.

After weeks of roller-coaster events, I am back catching up with reading.

Check them out if interested.

Saya rasa ramai akan marah dan kecewa esok kerana harga RON95 tak turun setelah harga Brent jatuh dari USD100+ ke USD90+ hari ni. Tapi ini bukanlah harga yang terpakai untuk menetapkan harga RON95 - and I don't mean MOPS

I can read a good essay on a concrete guide to survive the AI age. For most people, the AI literacy gap is more than technical. It is social, emotional, and rooted in a very real fear of being left behind by a world that is moving too fast.

"... what's more important is understanding the fundamentals that guide the way you're using the tool—not the other way around."

A close friend told me that in my last post, and drove me to continue reading on AGI, the expert-public optimism gap, and how do survive the AI age.

Hearing stories about vibe-coders/solopreneurs/tech builders who are working on new projects with AI is inspiring. But they are only a tiny silver of the world. The majority of society lacks the same literacy or doesn't use AI at all. For them, the AI panic is real.

This is an urgent conversation we are not having enough of in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. The tech is moving fast. Our ability to cope is lagging behind.

How do you handle your AI anxiety right now? I would love to hear some honest thoughts.

"I think I have AI anxiety. I haven’t figured out Claude Code & Skills is already out. I haven’t understood Skills, & Clawdbot is out. I haven’t installed Clawdbot, & the Mac Mini price is already up. The pace itself became a source of stress."

This sums up my last six months.

The mental weight is still there. There is a real psychological toll we are ignoring. We risk losing our own intuition if we just let these systems constantly affirm our thoughts and do the heavy lifting for us.

There are many roles we can play here. We can be the landlord, the equipment guy, or the local kopitiam handling the daily kopi ais orders for the staff. We have choices to make

Spent some time reading about data centers on how it work, how to build it, and why it needs governance.

Good Grades = Good Jobs = Good Life

Millennials face a great career crisis. AI kills the equation of success. The formula leads them into burnouts and feeling lost.

Stepping out into the unknown is how we see a path.

[Edwin Goh @EdwinGoh95]

It’s a proud moment to see a "Made by Malaysia" AI model. But utility is what matters. past the novelty. Does a local model equate to Sovereign AI? Unless the government forces itself to use it, who would use it? Big questions are still left on the table.
