Looking at the list of AI track bloggers and their content, it feels like browsing Zhihu and Xiaohongshu content. "AI KOL content formula = catchy title + emotional value + simple science + maximum anxiety." Then they sell AI tools, promote paid communities, and sell eSIM cards. Currently, 90% of the KOLs in the entire AI track are not actually working on AI, but rather on traffic business.

In the L2 era, Arbitrum attracted a bunch of people into the space, losing money on accounts, and in the end, the only one that seemed to do well in the airdrop phase was Strk. In the Perps era, Hyperliquid attracted a bunch of people into the space, losing money on accounts, and in the end, the only one that seemed to do well in the airdrop phase was Aster. 🤔

The homepage is all about recruiting ambassadors for Studio beta, which gives the impression that many project teams no longer have a budget for collaborating with studios on data. Or perhaps what they can offer is no longer attractive enough to draw in studios. Instead, they can only seek "content creators" at a lower cost.

A few months ago, people were still dissing and using AI to produce content and interact. Now, people are beginning to enthusiastically use AI to generate content.

After some browsing, I feel that if you want good traffic now, you need to write content related to AI, especially OpenClaw Little Lobster. Zhaozhao's personal view is: "Don't live for traffic, live in the real world." Not everyone needs to buy a whole Mac mini just to raise lobsters! If it's not necessary, don't create demand! "Lobsters can be eaten, but don't buy a whole set of kitchenware and seasonings just to eat lobsters!"

啊？

Has the era of KOLs come to an end? As a content creator, is it really necessary to go all-in on AI to find a way out? —————————————— zhaozhao is just a trailing blogger and does not consider himself part of the KOL camp, and he also believes that "a true KOL must have a representative work." —————————————— Not talking about the Web2 era, looking back, from L2 → public chain ecosystem → Perps → prediction markets. All the tracks and opportunities,

Suddenly I realize that 2016 was already 10 years ago.

First of all, I apologize. After Layer2, I once believed that the next main narrative would be the BTC ecosystem. However, the BTC ecosystem turned out to be just a hot topic within a certain phase. BOB is also the last project I worked on with over a hundred projects in this cycle. For most bloggers, genuinely writing about and engaging with projects for more than a year is already quite unlikely.

All platforms, tracks, and opportunities are just "amplifiers," not "wealth creators." What can be amplified is always your own ability! What cannot be amplified, changing 100 different opportunities won't help.

I really like the pink color of the MacBook Neo, but 8G of RAM is completely not enough🤣 Zhaozhao is currently using the 24G RAM version of the 🍎 MacBook Air M3, and it's still a bit laggy🫨

Been in the circle for over four years, and from my own observations, one phenomenon: "Any major concept, the first to explode is always MEME." When AI first became popular, the first things to emerge weren't AI + infrastructure, but a bunch of AI Memes on the Base chain. Why do MEMEs always lead the pack? · Lowest barrier to entry: just a picture, a meme, or an idea is enough. · Fastest spread: emotional resonance + hype, leading to direct exponential growth. ·

"Maitong MSX teams up with the US compliant platform Republic to officially launch the Pre-IPO tokenization zone!" Traditional IPO VS Pre-IPO? Traditional IPO: · Shares of unlisted giants (such as SpaceX, ByteDance). · Sold only to VCs, institutions, or ultra-high-net-worth individuals. · Ordinary retail investors have almost no access, with subscription thresholds often starting at millions of dollars. Pre-IPO (MSX × Republic version): · Underlying assets are held by compliant SPV

Based on my current level, taking the "English File Intermediate Plus" course corresponding to an IELTS score of 5-5.5 is a bit challenging😰
