Forget Skynet: The Real AGI Threat Is Already Here, and It's Your Job
The other day, I was catching up with some friends over coffee, and the conversation inevitably drifted to the wave of tech layoffs sweeping the globe. As we talked, a chilling clarity settled over the table. The greatest threat AGI poses to humanity isn't a far-off war with sentient machines. It's not about safety alignment or a rogue AI deciding to turn us all into paperclips.

Why Your "Good" Code Is Confusing Your AI Co-Pilot
Introduction In the age of AI-assisted programming, we must fundamentally rethink our best practices for code organization. Traditional software engineering principles—like code reuse, inheritance, and polymorphism—were designed to help human developers manage and maintain complex codebases. However, when an AI becomes our coding partner, these same principles can become liabilities, not assets.

Warmth in the Soup: The Academic Journeys and Dreams of Three Generations of Women
I remember when I was in my third year of high school, my homeroom teacher always looked at me with worry and said, "Others become thin as soon as they read the third year of high school. Why do you have a rounder face as you read more? Did you really put effort into reading ?" It was really unfair. I thought I read seriously. Every night when I returned home from self-study, there was always a bowl of soup simmering on the small coal stove waiting for me. Unable to resist my grandmother's supervision, I drank it and went to sleep. How could I not get fat?

Bound by Heart, Longing for Home
Just remembered and wrote a few words casually. This sentence has to be said since high school. In September 2000, I entered the only high school in the county, which was my first time leaving home, actually just over 20 miles away. To be honest, I didn't like staying there and wasn't used to it. I was used to being lazy at home and couldn't carry out my fishing life, which was very frustrating. I was trapped inside the wall all day long, and had to rely on flying eaves and walls to get out, or disguised as a day student to get by, and was often caught. So I looked forward to the monthly homecoming week all day long, looking forward to the stars and moon, and missing home. Actually, when you say you miss home, it doesn't mean that a man can't live without his family. I just really wanted to see every blade of grass and tree in the house, see what changes there were. Every time I got home, I didn't stay at home, but went out to wander around, in the fields, forests, and rivers, and see where to catch fish. I didn't go home all day. At that time, there was a half-day off every Sunday afternoon in school, and my colleagues who lived in the dormitory usually went shopping It left a deep impression on me. After class ended at 12 o'clock, I quickly ran to the station and took the 12:15 bus. I got off at around 12:45 and entered my house around 1:05. As time passed, the ticket seller recognized me. I even saw her once during International Workers' Day in Tangshan this year and greeted her. She even referred to herself as my aunt.
