The way you use AI tools shapes the results you get. Some people gradually lose basic skills and knowledge, growing dependent on the tools. Others use them to deepen their knowledge and build new skills.

Same tool. Very different outcomes.

AI has changed the mindset of ordinary people; regular commuters are saying, “I can do it myself with AI” on trains and flights, cafes.

10x to be 100x.

Wow, I totally disagree with this statement. At the current state, AI actually amplifies the developer to developer difference. If you were a 10x developer, you had good ideas + architectural clarity, this is a brutal advantage when using AI. Steering is a fundamental part of today's AI development.

Switching from an i9 MacBook Pro to an M5 MacBook is a game changer, the fan on M5 never starts.

Something new is coming.

Everything is broken.

Crawling and indexing open web data can be seen as a form of human knowledge distillation.

It is difficult to define who owns the human knowledge on the open web or whether humans should share common knowledge freely in the future.

Personal agent should be a feature of iPhone.

The ad-funded internet business model could collapse if everyone starts using tools like OpenClaw to automate browsers or AI agents like ChatGPT to summarize web pages.

[Bruce Dou @doubaokun]

It took a few hours to install openclaw on a Mac mini, upgrading OS, installing Xcode tool chain, installing node… more complex than imagined.

With AI, 10× engineers become 100× engineers.

Clawdbot is the UI of cli.

[Bruce Dou @doubaokun]

Is Clawdbot just short-term hype, or does it have long-term potential? Either way, it’s clear that many people already trust AI.

Trends in 2026:

Micro-shops, niche sites, and small teams are the new powerhouses. #AI, #MCP, #UCP, chat agents are compressing the value chain, making it direct and efficient.

As these force multipliers remove barriers, minimal products, services and hidden gems can be surfaced fast.

Impact is no longer about size, it’s about clarity and execution.
