Points of this issue: The underlying logic of penetrating the technology industryHello, I am Wang Yuquan, this is Wang Yuquans comments.
Todays thoughts, lets talk about a deep topic: the underlying law of the development of the technology industry.
"STAY HUNGRY, Stay Foolish" , this famous saying believes you must not be unfamiliar.In 2005, Jobs encouraged the younger generation at the graduation ceremony of Stanford University. In the process of pursuing his dreams, he always maintained his desire for knowledge and an open mind for unknown.Since then, this sentence has become a classic interpretation of the spirit of innovation.
But what you may not know is that this sentence comes from the classic journal "Whole Earth Catalog" ("Global Overview") back coverslogan.This publication was founded in 1968 and is an important part of the hippie movement.Because many scientific and technological entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley have been deeply influenced by hippie culture, this publication has an important position in science and technology culture. and its founder is the presence of the important theory we want to introduce today -Stewart Brand.
Bland was born in 1938. He was a multi -faceted. In the early days, he was an artist. LaterDoctrist and pioneer of technology.In 1971, he wrote the importance of network technology, and proposed the term "personal computer", and also founded the early online community "The Well".Therefore, he is regarded as a prophet and mentor in the science and technology industry by many people.In 2022, the Pulitzer Prize winner of the Pulitzer even wrote a biography for him, called "WHOLE EARTH". The Chinese version was published in China this year and called "Who is Stuart Bland".
In 1999, Brand proposed in his book "The Clock of the Long Now: Time and Responsibility".Very inspiring theory: Pace Layer. The theory was originally used to explain the changes in the architectural system, but it was later widely used in various fields such as technology, business, organizational management and social development.
The core idea of the theory of Pace Layer is that different components in the system change at different speeds, and these levels affect each other relatively independent.The fast -changing part can quickly respond to environmental changes, bringing vitality to the entire system, and the slow change part provides the necessary stability and persistence for the system.
For example, a building can be divided into six levels: topographic, structure, appearance, service system, space planning and furniture decoration, and the speed of changes in each level accelerates in order.The terrain is the most stable and almost never changes, and furniture and decoration will change with the needs of peoples needs and aesthetics.
For more than, in business management, the core mission and corporate culture of the enterprise are usually slowly changed, and marketing strategies, productsDevelopment, etc., need to respond to market changes quickly.In social systems, cultural traditions, legal systems and policy planning often change slower, while popular culture, enterprises, and street stores have changed faster.
Of course, technology companies use Pace Layer theory in their own management and product system.
Apples product strategy is a successful case. The hardware part, such as the iPhones infrastructure, often has a major update every few years, and is nicknamed "squeezing toothpaste innovation" by netizens.But Apples iOS system update is more frequent, and the application ecology is given to developers freely innovation.This layered management strategy allows Apple to keep the hardware quality stable, while ensuring the continuous participation of developers and users, and maintaining a good product and service experience.
Pace Layer theory can also help us understand the technology industry system.
For example, the artificial intelligence industry can be regarded as a multi -level complex system composed of hardware layers, model layers, and application layers.And interdependence and mutual influence.
The hardware layer includes chips, servers, data centers, etc. used for AI computing . Although technological innovation is not as frequent as the software layer, they each timeProgress will have a profound impact on the entire AI industry.For example, Nvida has been deeply cultivated in the GPU field for 30 years. Its CUDA platform also has a history of more than ten years. It is based on long -term accumulation that V100 and A100 products have brought about the rapid development of AI models in recent years.

Model layer is the core of AI technologySome , the development and optimization of models are the key to promoting the progress of AI technology.The speed of this level is relatively fast and the development cycle is short.
OpenAI focused on the Transformer architecture in 2018. It pushed ChatGPT3.5 at the end of 2022, which took more than 3 years.But it is clear that the development of the model layer is inseparable from the support of the hardware layer.Recently, computing power has become the bottleneck of AI development. Not only does TSMCs capacity and in short supply, but also the innovation speed of chip design is much slower than the model layer.
Finally, the application layer, that is, the level of service and commercialization of AI technology in the actual scenario Autonomous driving, intelligent recommendation system, etc.This level requires companies to continue to launch new functions and services based on market demand, otherwise it may be eliminated by the times.
Apples voice assistant Siri, although it was amazing at the beginning of 2011, it was criticized for lack of innovation in recent years.We have also been observing whether Apple can adapt to the AI trend as soon as possible and launch a new Siri with "action intelligence", otherwise it may be replaced by Googles Gemini Live or OpenAIs personal assistant applications, and even affects Apple through iPhone, etc.Business empire established by hardware.For example, my own voice interaction with mobile phones mainly uses GPT.
The current AI has become a basic general technology, and its development cannot be separated from the large scale of the entire technology industry and even the whole society.Coordinated innovation.Pace layers theory undoubtedly provides important inspiration for the design and construction of the collaborative system.
Whether it is the government, scientific research institutions, platform companies, startups, they should be based on their own ability and the resources I have to clarify their positions in the AI industry.Formulate a suitable strategy, strengthen long boards, and collaborate with other levels of enterprises, rather than pursue the large and comprehensive pursuit of its own business.
For example, the AI application layer needs to respond quickly to market changes, and startups often pay more attention to market demand, rapid iteration of products and services. Therefore, we repeatedly emphasize that this level is more suitable for entrepreneurs to show their fists.
The model layer needs deep cultivation technology to promote the development of cutting -edge technology. Funding and talent investment is huge, and the cycle is longer.Therefore, companies like OPENAI have huge funds and a large number of top talents can continue to launch the most advanced models and lead the development of AI.Of course, the construction of the collaboration system is very complicated. I have already discussed in in -depth in the special training camp, and I wont go into details here.
Today, we mainly introduce the important value of Pace Layer theory in the technology industry.However, if you jump out of the field of industry, from a wider perspective, you will find that technology promotes the development of society, and it is inseparable from the change of consumer behavior habits and social concepts, and these changes are even more slow.
Understanding this can grasp the fundamental laws of science and technology and social collaboration, and this is also a greater inspiration that Pace Layer theory brings us.Regarding this, we will explain in -depth explanations in the articles in the next thinking, so stay tuned.
I believe you can see that we need not only the technical revolution, but also the conceptual revolution. Only by grasping advanced ideas can we seize the opportunity in advance.So in the end, make a preview. On November 9, the outpost conference 2024 will be held in Beijing. The theme of this time is "Historical Rhyme, Future Forecast of the AI Revolution" , I will use 12 historical cases, 12 core ideas, and 12 future scenes to take you to understand the development of the science and technology industryRegular, help you find your own opportunity.Interested friends, please scan the code to sign up, we see it!
The above is todays content, more detailed industrial analysis and underlying logic, I will share in the special training camp of technologyGlobal air outlet WeChat, sign up to join.
