Another day putting AI to work
Edited English version based on the Chinese original. Read the Chinese original
I did some in-depth investment research today, a field I love. I use several mainstream AI tools for it: Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude. In my experience Claude is strongest overall, though its token costs seem highest. I tried to compare them, found the pricing complicated, and will not pretend I fully understood it.
Last night I read on WeChat Reading for nearly half an hour before bed and went to sleep two hours earlier than usual. I felt much more energetic this morning. Most of today went into research, and I lost myself in it. That happens often when I use AI; I can forget both meals and rest. I came away with several useful ideas about important questions.
AI technology still amazes me. To me it is more than a bubble: multimodal language models, humanoid robots, and new kinds of companies are already changing what people can make. Using these tools firsthand makes this era feel extraordinary.
Tomorrow I need to:
- Install Codex on my own computer.
- Organize my Notion knowledge base.
- Add today’s research to it and put some of the ideas into practice.
I am thinking about taking IELTS again. If I decide to do that, I will need to rearrange my time. Reading instead of scrolling short videos before bed has not left me feeling empty; it has made the evening feel fuller.
Because of what I prepared today, I am looking forward to tomorrow!
Made it this far? Say hello.
