Brothers, I've recently realized one thing

The AI revolution is essentially the same as the Gold Rush
Back in Sacramento by the river, the ones who truly got rich weren't the gold miners, but the shovel sellers!
Today, OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic are selling shovels (model APIs);
And ordinary people who want to strike gold (make money with AI) must either have a gold mine (data/scenario), or —
Learn to use other people's shovels.
Two types of people are destined to be eliminated:
1️⃣ Those who only watch the excitement from the shore
2️⃣ Those who buy shovels but don't know what to dig
Let me give you two survival rules for the AI era:
1️⃣ Learn to invoke tools — not training models, but using AI as an employee;
2️⃣ Find vertical scenarios — the gold mine isn't in the model itself, but in the real-world problems the model solves.
Brothers, in the AI era, the Earth only has two choices: selling shovels or digging for gold.
