Recently, I've had a strong feeling: it seems like I'm living in a parallel world with many other people.
When working with today's top-tier models paired with Claude Code, there's a kind of zero-gravity state. What is zero gravity? The speed at which an idea becomes a real product and receives validation is unimaginably fast.
Yesterday someone asked, where's the like button on the website? Today I added it. Not just likes, but also comments, and email subscriptions. All of this was completed within three hours.
The entire process used Claude Code plus a newly released experimental feature—it can directly connect to a Chrome browser extension, click and operate autonomously, complete database integration and alignment, and obtain API keys. I only needed to handle registration and authentication at critical steps; it did everything else.
The Tsunami Has Reached Your Chest
When communicating with others, I find that many people have no concept of these changes whatsoever. They still understand AI-induced transformation in a very traditional way. As mentioned earlier, charging 500 RMB for on-site installation of OpenClaw crayfish—these absurd things are still happening en masse.
Anthropic founder Dario said that an AI tsunami is coming. I completely agree. After AI capabilities break through a certain threshold, it begins to accelerate its own evolution—the speed of connection and iteration between tools becomes increasingly rapid.
Yesterday I was thinking, it would be great if Claude Code could integrate with Chrome browser. Today I discovered this feature has already been released, with an official experimental version provided. I tried it—it's genuinely astonishing.
Everything Will Be Repriced
What does zero gravity mean? The existing value system will inevitably be reconstructed.
I tell many people: you must use the latest models, you must spend this money—it's completely different from the free version. Their reaction is: AI is too expensive. 2,000 RMB per month?
I say, you spend 2,000 RMB on food delivery every month too. Taking taxis costs roughly the same. Moreover, current prices are likely subsidized by massive computing power—the tokens you consume represent tremendous value no matter how you calculate it. Model providers are losing money to let you use them.
But people still feel it's too expensive.
When you truly experience zero gravity, all previous price anchors suddenly feel illusory. Is something really worth that price? Are supply and scarcity truly what they appear to be? These will all change, and the speed will be explosive.
Then when you step away from AI and return to other domains, it feels like crawling at a snail's pace.
Speed Is Salvation for Value
I've developed new perspectives on competition.
Previously, in a small market, the first instinct was to think about competition. Now I see this isn't the issue. When you're facing trillion-dollar-level value creation, time and speed are salvation for value itself.
How to understand this? If we replace inefficient production methods with more efficient ones and普及 [popularize] them faster, we are saving societal value.
Do the math. Assume a service originally costs 2,000 per year; the new method reduces it to 100, saving 95%. Covering 100 million users, total savings would amount to roughly 190 billion.
If普及 happens instantly, all 190 billion is saved. But in reality, it's deployed linearly—taking a year to roll out gradually, the rectangle becomes a triangle, leaving only half, less than 100 billion.
The difference in speed directly determines how much value is salvaged.
No Competitors
So in this environment, we aren't competing against anyone. Everyone is a participant.
This market is too vast—too vast to naively believe that one person or a small team could capture 200 billion in total value within a single year. Relying on whom? Relying on everyone working together to build this market.
When the market is large enough, there are no competitors. You want everyone to participate, jointly expanding the pie.
Wang Xing (founder of Meituan) discussed infinite games versus finite games. Under the wave of emerging new productive forces, it's akin to the Western Development Strategy—shifting from existing stock to new increments, brimming with possibilities. The first priority isn't contemplating competition, but rather who can expand the pie faster. Those who move faster naturally create more value and deserve greater returns.
Stop and Look
Traditional value systems will soon be overturned. The tsunami has already reached our chests, yet many haven't even noticed.
I've been urging people: at minimum, download and experience what today's top-tier models can accomplish.
I've demonstrated this to others. One sentence—"Help me install OpenClaw locally." The AI executes autonomously, overcoming every obstacle along the way: compiling when necessary, resolving dependencies when required. It ran continuously for about half an hour, then delivered the result, announcing it was ready for use.
Everyone falls silent after watching.
This website itself is the most representative example. I'm not a technical person. Someone requested a like button; it appeared the next day. Then not just likes, but comments. Not just comments, but subscriptions. Two to three hours—from thought to completion.
What's the cost behind it? A few thousand per month in model subscription fees.
The tsunami is already here. For those still working in the old ways, I urge you: really stop and look at what is happening right now.
