I Asked DeepSeek: Where Is the Way Out for Ordinary People?

DeepSeek pointed out a very comprehensive answer from five dimensions. Here is my personal simple summary.

1. Cognitive Boundary

First, reshape or define what "ordinary" means. If you're asking about the way out for ordinary people, you must first define the term "ordinary."

It emphasizes the need to establish a personal evaluation system, a multi - dimensional one, instead of being restricted by a single system.

Life isn't just about making money. There are many other aspects like health, life, and relationships.

2. Leverage System

It proposed three types of leverage: ability, time, and resources.

For ordinary people, it should be about making a breakthrough in one area and competing in multiple dimensions, achieving an effect where 1 + 1 is greater than 2 or 2 + 1 is greater than 4.

In terms of time, value compound interest. Engage in activities that can increase your value, make more breakthroughs, and do more exploration.

For resource leverage, start with social relationships and participate in various activities.

Each point has its practical significance. Since the question was simple without specific conditions and background, the answer is also relatively straightforward. I believe that if you provide more specific and accurate information, it can give you a great action plan.

3. Opportunities in the Era

It mentioned three opportunities: the sinking market, technological equalization like AI, and spiritual consumption.

For ordinary people with limited funds, the latter two are more useful. For example, the current Internet infrastructure is quite developed, especially with the rapid development of AI, which enables ordinary people to do things that were previously impossible.

Nowadays, there is no shortage of material consumption, but there is a lack of satisfaction in spiritual needs.

4. Gradual Breakthrough

It gave three breakthrough routes: survival, development, and breakthrough. It's very down - to - earth. Survival must be based on the workplace. First, find a way to survive in the workplace. The second step is to consider personal development, that is, to build your second career curve and achieve a personal business closed - loop.

It especially mentioned the minimum viable product and the precipitation of private domain traffic.

The final breakthrough is about expansion. You need to seize some opportunities, luck, and trends.

5. Risk System

Regarding building your own risk system, it includes three aspects: finance, psychology, and social relationships. It's very comprehensive.

The more I read, the more I realize the power of DeepSeek. If I were to write an article like this, it would take me a long time and I'd need to collect a lot of content because I don't have such comprehensive knowledge in my mind.

It only takes more than 10 seconds to write it.

Rather than worrying that it makes my thinking and writing abilities seem inferior, I'm thinking about how it can supplement a lot of things that I can't think of, providing a large number of cases and arguments.

Its thinking process is also worth learning. How does it judge and analyze problems? It will think about what you really want to ask, what aspects to consider, and what situations to take into account.

This is very similar to the way humans think. It should be very interesting to train our brains with AI and then have conversations with it.

The question is, since AI is so powerful and can do so many things, what do we still need to do?

I'm not worried about this so - called ultimate question. Just like in every technological revolution, people would ask what humans can do in the future.

I'm more concerned about what we can do with AI during this transition period. Currently, we are among the forefront group.

Just like the question of where the way out for ordinary people is, we should first do this well and improve our execution ability.
