Bear Liu argues that the most important principle when working with AI is first identifying whether you are in a divergent (exploring) or convergent (deciding) mode, then adjusting your interaction accordingly.
Bear Liu 认为与 AI 交流的关键思路是先判断自己当前处于发散(探索)还是收敛(决策)状态,再调整互动方式。
Bear Liu observes that maintaining multiple software products causes costs to grow exponentially — two products are already painful, and each additional one multiplies complexity, leading to a sudden spike in workload.
