# Under the Push of AI Technology, Global Tech Industry Layoffs Continue
Amid the wave of AI-driven layoffs across the global tech industry, companies like Block are cutting staff due to AI replacing workers. Meanwhile, OpenAI is planning to expand its workforce by 3,500 positions, primarily in sales and support roles, emphasizing the needs of enterprise clients. While AI can complete standardized tasks, interpersonal interaction and client relationships still require human investment. AI anxiety doesn't represent the replacement of all job positions, but rather a repricing of standardizable work.

The article analyzed the logic behind gold price increases, pointing out that only 0.5 reasons remain to support further gold appreciation. The main reasons include: weakening safe-haven logic with synchronized fluctuations between gold, U.S. stocks, and BTC; declining inflation expectations; and slowing pace of China's gold purchases. Overall, gold lacks sufficient upward momentum, and future gains may be limited.

The article discusses two methodologies for "yield farming," namely a low-cost, broad-cast approach and a sniper-style, concentrated research method. The author proposes four dimensions for project screening: team, product, narrative, and time and cost, emphasizing the importance of judgment. Using Backpack as an example, the author expresses lack of confidence in it, analyzing issues such as insufficient narrative, product quality, and team capability, concluding that it faces difficult competition. Overall, the author maintains a reserved stance on Backpack's prospects, viewing it as a meme coin in venture capital investing.

Cryptocurrency hacking attacks inflict losses on projects that extend far beyond the moment of the attack itself; the subsequent impacts are often much more profound. According to Immunefi's report, token prices drop by an average of as much as 61% following an attack, while the project's reputation, funding, and operational capacity face sustained pressure. Although the number of attacks remains unchanged, extreme attacks have intensified industry risks, with centralized platforms remaining the primary victims. Should a project survive the shock following an attack, its future still holds potential.

The article discusses the controversy surrounding the Chinese translation of "Token," pointing out that as Token becomes increasingly important in AI and cloud services, fierce competition over its naming has emerged within the industry. Different translations (such as "zhì yuán," "mó yuán," and "fú yuán") represent different interests and discursive power behind them. The author emphasizes that Token's value makes this translation issue highly significant—it's not merely a linguistic matter, but also a struggle for commercial interests.

"Thank you for giving us the opportunity to invest in Unitree five years ago."
At Xiaomi's press conference on March 19th, Lei Jun said this to Wang Xingxing standing beside him, in front of all the attendees. The next day, March 20th, the Shanghai Stock Exchange's official website showed: Unitree Technology's IPO application for listing on the STAR Market was formally accepted.
The timing was so precise that it's hard not to marvel—Lei Jun truly has a sharp eye. The money invested five years ago is now about to turn into a stock that everyone wants to hold.
This is not an exaggeration. According to IT Orange data, as of March 20th, 2026, China's robotics sector has already seen 207 financing events this year, with 133 of them in the humanoid robotics space,
