Day 1 – 一樣卻不同的MIT

今日天氣非常好!藍天是最藍的藍,溫度也不算凍。行了15,000步🏃

  • 首先到flour bakery食了Pizza和湯,比想像中好吃。
  • 走過Building 1,去參加Siemens President & CEO Logan Busch的講座,座無虛席。可惜時間很短。散band後,居然抓緊機會和他問問題(問了關乎local-for-local product和global brand consistency的平衡),更可以合照!很開心呵呵呵。
  • 走過Infinite CorridorKillian Court,找到到The Tech hardcopy(本來以為冇),到了One.MIT找名字,到了banana lounge拿免費高質量香蕉,MIT Medical改名做MIT Health。多了很多讀書空間study space,我這個校友也要拿了地圖了。
  • 去埋Sloan School同埋Dewey Library。入返去自修室,居然好多人。當年永遠都係我自己一個。坐返喺啲冇變過嘅枱燈,忽然心有感觸,社會鞭打10幾年後,我又回來了T__T。
  • 拿過了新alumni ID card yeahhh,就出發MIT Museum。真係覺得可以做好少少 lol 好悶,太多都係文字。
  • 去咗COOP買野,其實d款式就麻麻地啦。本來以為可以買到多野添。買咗一件hoodies,一個tee,一個notebook,一張postcard。
  • Kendall Street已經upgrade曬,好多商廈,特別係biotech同Google。而我最鍾意去嘅popeyes已經光榮結業luuu(所以今次連Harvard Bridge都冇行)
  • 經過Charles River行去Toscanini雪糕同埋Cambridgeside Galleria(已經改名),今非昔比,風光不在。
  • 最後一站去咗BU嘅food court,食期待已久嘅Panda Express,點知好難食,失望/_\ b話以後都唔食,黑名單。

Siemens CEO Note:

– go all-in, 50mil euro for people training, engineers and designers to bring them up to speed

– bring software and hardware together with the use of AI, cross-disciplinary

– Globally US and China, Europe is strong starting point -regulating before innovating. Just too slow, too many Acts to slow things down.

– China does not have access to the latest GPUs, Quen DeepSeek with open platforms

– Fast in development cycles, adoption rates with talents

– USA is quality in people, less in manufacturing. 30% global industrial GDP . 20% US, 15% Europe

– Produce something in low cost 

– Hardware from China. Brain from United States

– Develop easy to use (plug-and-play in a diverse universe). Try to meet customers or distribution partners, small to middle-size companies 

– VC company in the AI startup, if complimentary

– Think AI trend now is too overheated 

– stay curious 20-30

– Longevity tips: exercising, eating, sleeping enough, curiosity 

– Career advice: One-two moments overstretching moment 

– China has many data availability

– “local for local” product development, e.g. China in China how to balance with brand consistency? Off label
