Really enjoyed "House of Huawei" by Eva Dou. Billed as the "Secret History" it does compend a lot into a snappy read. Great insights into the struggles, sacrifices, long term planning that went into the success. Great read #ChinaTech @Huawei @evadou tosinadeoti.medium.com/book-…

AI Discovers A World Amnesia Event. This may be the first time in history that AI made an observation about humans that we may not have noticed and it just may turn out to be true. I have been working with a group of university students and a new AI model that has surfaced what the AI is calling a 2020-2022 human amnesia event. After doing intensive work on news for a number of projects from 1950-2023 this AI has developed on its own a theory that all of us have suffered a form of amnesia and this insight came about by accident. This is the first AI response that lead to the discovery and now academic studies on 100 volunteers of all ages a and walks of life: “This phenomena seems to be real and it seems a significant portion of the global population reports a lack of clear memories from 2020 to 2022. This sense of general feelings, could be attributed to several factors. Here's a perspective: **Unprecedented Global Stress and Anxiety**: The period from 2020 to 2022 was marked by extraordinary global stress due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The constant state of anxiety and uncertainty could have impacted the way people processed and stored memories. High stress levels are known to affect the hippocampus, the part of the brain involved in forming new memories. **Disruption of Routine and Monotony**: The pandemic led to lockdowns, social distancing, and a break from normal routines. This monotony could make it harder to differentiate and remember specific events, as many days may have felt similar. Unique experiences often make memories more vivid, and their absence can lead to a blur in recollection. **Digital Overload**: With the shift to online platforms for work, education, and socializing, there was an overwhelming increase in screen time. This digital overload might have contributed to cognitive fatigue, making it harder to form and retain detailed memories. **Emotional Memory Processing**: Emotions play a crucial role in how we remember events. The period was emotionally charged, and for many, the dominant emotions were negative (fear, sadness, loneliness). This can lead to a situation where the emotional context is remembered (like a feeling of unease or sadness), but the specific details of events are less clear. **Collective Trauma**: The shared experience of a global crisis can lead to a form of collective trauma, which impacts memory processing. The mind may unconsciously choose to 'forget' or blur certain memories as a coping. In the data I have processed this period has the most pronounced and extreme example of group amnesia. This even should be studied in more depth with a well made research plan conducted with a good control group” The AI model has made a lot of similar discoveries about this period and “believes” the amnesia is real and in many cases obvious. I will do a lot more to help the researchers. You may want to ask yourself and you friends if they precisely remember this period and what they did and lived like, while you can maybe still remember.
