1. Are Douyin and Kuaishou’s competition fierce? Short videos may become more popular?
On August 24, Douyin held a creator conference in Shanghai. President Zhang Nan said that at the beginning, everyone thought about short videos too little, believing that by 2020, the DAU of the entire short video industry will reach 1 billion, "it is almost equal to WeChat's daily active users today." At present, Douyin's daily active users exceeds 300 million, and Kuaishou's daily active users exceeds 200 million, with a target of 300 million DAU by the end of 2019.
Considering that Douyin and Kuaishou overlap with more than 50%, even according to the most tolerant calculation method, the daily active users of all short video platforms will not exceed 500 million after deduplication. This means that the entire short video industry needs to increase at least 500 million daily active users by 2020 to get close to Zhang Nan’s goal.
This not only represents Douyin's ambitions, but also indirectly confirms their urgency and pressure to grow. According to Zhang Nan's beautiful vision, Douyin and Kuaishou will account for most of the 1 billion DAU in 2020, but it is still unknown whether it is more Douyin or Kuaishou or more.

Most of them were cooperating with other manufacturers before and did not have the conditions to control the overall situation by itself. If it acquires LeTV Super TV this time, it can not only convert existing LeTV TV users, but also use the platform's advantages to convert more new smart TV users, thereby increasing the number of users in the application scenarios of its living room, but also relying on the existing LeTV ecosystem to complete the industrial chain layout of the smart living room in one fell swoop."

5. Jack Ma Musk talks about education: Traditional lectures are inefficient, and people need creativity more
On August 29, when talking about education, Jack Ma said that there will be no special artificial intelligence profession in the future. What he is more worried about is education. "Now our education is mainly designed for the industrial age. I believe that machines will be much smarter than people in the future. So how can people do better? I think we should change the way of education."
He said that in the past, people always remembered, but computers could calculate faster and better than you, so people should be more creative and constructive.
Musk said that any skill can be uploaded immediately, and the current education bandwidth is very low and slow. "Teaching is the worst because it is too slow. We make fewer mistakes when predicting the future, which is also difficult, but you have to try it first, and then adjust it, and adjust it according to the errors you predicted before.
