There are two primary approaches to creating something: bottom-up design and top-down design . Top-down design is often seen in architecture. People do not build bricks randomly; instead, they follow the design drawings created by the architect. This method executes a plan that has already been established. When asked why something is built in a certain way, the answer is usually that the blueprint dictates its design. Conversely, bottom-up design does not start with a fixed goal, but rather involves setting and implementing small, actionable rules. For example, termite nests follow this approach. Small termites have a simple rule: to pile up soil. They do this without knowing the reason, but over time, the finished structure is remarkable and sophisticated. The appearance of the Sagrada Familia church , designed by Antoni Gaudí and still under construction, closely resembles a termite nest, differing only in size.

How do AIs learn? For humans to learn, they must first express their will. In AI, the flow of electricity takes the place of human will. AI learning involves recording, comparing, and making decisions; currently, computation is the only necessity. Humans learn through similar pathways and mechanisms, but the importance of expressing will tends to be essential in human history. People often respect those who excel at learning, as it is not easy to demonstrate will. However, AI substitutes all entities with symbols of electrons and operations instead of will. Doesn’t placing too much value on the will actually impede human learning? Learning stems from comparison and decision-making. Management functions similarly. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Netflix initially started as a DVD rental service and grew, but it soon encountered a crisis with video streaming technology. Nevertheless, it wasn’t feasible to abruptly abandon the existing business and transition to a digital distribution model, highlighting the significant conflict involved! Video streaming technology is not a complementary service to DVD rental; rather, it serves as an alternative. When expanding or improving a business, it’s crucial to clearly understand the defining attributes of the target product or service. Burgers and French fries complement each other, while burgers and chicken sandwiches are substitutes. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
