Okay. And the— so the Chinese kind of media ecosystem, both short video as well as its YouTube, Bilibili, has had a flood of Chinese videos. And, you know, this is not what I think it— there's an aspect of it which is dystopian, but there's an aspect of it which I think is is extremely encouraging because there are— it's kind of like what happened to music, I think, in the, you know, '90s and 2000s and 2010s, where the barrier to entry to create something has gone way down. And that means that there are more people doing it. But also like, okay, you have to distinguish yourself in other ways. Like the videos that are getting traction have really strong scripts, have scripts that would have never been made by like the sort of broader Chinese ecosystem. You know, they, they're, they're more responsive to contemporary issues. They haven't quite been censored yet. Um, you know, there are sorts of like visuals that CGI would take you, you know, $50 million and like a data center in the Philippines to do, um, that now one person can, can generate for like $5. Yeah. And the, the sort of, this is not something I think we've seen on on YouTube yet or on kind of like Western short form. And I don't know if that's like the Chinese audience being more open to it, but engaging with this stuff and with an open mind, it is like really cool to see a whole universe of person who would have never got, you know, a $5 million thing greenlit all of a sudden taking the script they've had on their hard drive for a while. The models really only in the past month being able to sort of like cross the threshold of being exciting and useful. And then you, you just, you're watching more creators make their art and I'm kind of happy by it.

One of my favorite things to do is watch, uh, Bilibili reviews of Chinese EV cars. And, you know, the, the, the like long list of random features that these companies throw in there, in their, um, in their vehicles to try to differentiate themselves is like a a font of endless fascination for me, Fengming. Do you have any favorites of, you know?
Jordan Schneider · ChinaTalk · The Rise of China’s Electric Vehicle Industry · 2026-08-17Uh, ad network. Well, I haven't— I probably need to ask them this question next time, but it seems like, well, the Chinese, um, listeners are more willing that, well, they're more willing to see what they call Ranguang, like, well, you have, well, you, you have this, well, how they call, like, promotional content will be built in into the episode. But well, they are less willing to see like all those ad network kind of thing. Like, well, I think the similar things are happening to all those Chinese like video websites like Bilibili. Bilibili, whenever Bilibili tries anything with, well, ad network, it will, it will cause a lot of resistance from their users. So at the end of day, you will see like Bilibili, although they have so many, well, people using their service, but well, they are, to be frank, not making a lot of money because, well, they cannot just use AdNet.
Fengming Lu · ChinaTalk · The Rise of China’s Electric Vehicle Industry · 2026-08-17I don't think people appreciate the kinds of things that these models can just go handle for you when you equip them with a good harness. Like Kershaw, for example. I started publishing my episodes on bilibili for a hopefully burgeoning Chinese audience. But everything I upload there needs the sponsored segments cut out. Normally, that would have meant that I would have to ask my editors to go back through all the old episodes, cut out the ads, and re export everything. But in about just as much time as it would have taken me to send them that slack message, I can just tell Cursor to do it instead and spare them. And for research for the podcast, I have a whole repo that I've set up where I've just put every single book and paper that's been relevant to prepping for any of the Recent episodes. And I've been able to hodgepodge everything because the cursor harness is just extremely good at helping the model figure out exactly what information to pull, whether that's from my repo or from the web, in order to answer the questions I have while I'm doing research. So whatever you happen to be working on right now, just try pointing cursor at it. Go to cursor.comlorcache to get started. Obviously, AI for math is making a lot faster progress than everything else. And people point to verifiability of the domain as the key reason this is happening. I think that's one of the two important reasons, but I think people really neglect the other one. And I'm outside the labs. I don't know what's actually going on, but this is totally naive theory. Okay, a tangential question to why AI is making so much progress in math. Why has it been so slow at computer use? Which is what you, you know, computer is actually very verifiable. It's like, you know, is my Etsy package coming? Or like, is my event booked? You know, whatever. These are extremely verifiable things to survey. What computer use lacks is grindability. So because websites have, like, bot detectors and also it takes a tremendous amount of compute to run parallel rollouts, it's very hard to just run like 1000 parallel rollouts of the same checkout flow on Amazon because you'll get like, shut down by Andy Jassy. Right.
