What will 2026 look like? Some experts have provided a macro forecast framework, and the core insights are quite sobering—if you're still hesitating over AI, you might be the next Nokia.



His predictions mainly revolve around several key points:

**First, AI is not a choice; it's a matter of life and death.** This round of competition has shifted from a technological exploration phase to an arms race. Major players are vying for investment influence in AI infrastructure, with chips, computing power, and model training sectors poised for explosive growth. Infrastructure development will become the biggest capital hotspot in 2026.

**Second, the great reshuffling of wealth is accelerating.** Past advantages may no longer guarantee future gains; new productivity tools are changing the rules of the game. Those who can quickly adapt to the business logic of the AI era will seize the opportunity for this wave of wealth redistribution.

The last window of opportunity for ordinary people may be within these two or three years. It's not about necessarily working full-time on AI, but about understanding this change and making appropriate adjustments. Either participate actively or risk being left behind.

Nokia's thing really, no one believed it back then, and now it's happening again? These two or three years have been really tight; if we don't move, it's over. The chip part should have been all in long ago, now it's too late to regret. You're right, brother. Multiple-choice questions are all illusions; the real deal is the life-and-death question. What are we waiting for? Waiting to die?

The Nokia analogy really hit the mark; lying flat and watching from the sidelines is too dangerous. --- The term "arms race" doesn't sound like a joke at all. --- Wealth reshuffle... frankly, it still depends on who can keep up with the rhythm, but most people simply can't react in time. --- A window of opportunity of two or three years—miss it, and it's truly gone. That's no exaggeration. --- Infrastructure is the key; whoever controls the chips and computing power's lifeline wins. --- Instead of predicting 2026 every day, it's better to start understanding the game rules now. --- Still watching and waiting? Then you're the next to be eliminated. It’s not Nokia, it’s Motorola, right? --- "Either participate or get left behind"—there's no third option, and this statement hits hard. --- This round of reshuffling feels more brutal than ever before. --- A matter of life and death; this is no longer a question of whether to choose or not.

Nokia meme really should be retired, but on the other hand, our group of crypto people has already been through a baptism once. We've seen plenty of cases where people can't keep up with the pace. What really hits hard is the phrase "Past advantages do not guarantee future returns." Doesn't that mean the assets and skills we hold might suddenly become antiques? Feeling a bit anxious.

That Nokia analogy was spot on. If you're still hesitating about getting into AI, you really need to wake up.

The Nokia analogy really hit home, it's about time to take action --- Basically, it's either get on board or get off; there's no third way --- The chip and computing power will indeed be the main battleground by 2026. Not planning now means falling behind --- The big reshuffle of wealth is spot on. It’s sad to see so many still waiting for the wind to come --- The most timid approach is to wait and see. By the time you react, you've already been crushed --- For ordinary people, is this window only two or three years? Sounds like time is really tight --- The term "life-and-death question" is a bit harsh, but it seems like that's really the situation --- You don't have to do AI full-time, but understanding the rules of the game is relatively reliable --- The arms race has already started pouring money wildly; those who don't participate already feel left behind --- Look around and see who is already taking action. Those people probably will make a fortune

The lessons from Nokia are still alive today. Are there really people asking me every day whether AI is good or if I should learn it... The computing power arms race has already started, and you're still watching the fun?
