You should thank Masa. th-cam.com/video/Sa2_VBu0d7k/w-d-xo.html @12:05 On why he invested in Jack Ma's Alibaba. Jack Ma: "Well, he had no business plan and 0 revenue. Employees, maybe 35 - 40 employees. But, his eyes were very strong. Strong eyes. Strong shining eyes. I could tell from the way he talked. The way he looked at. He has charisma. He has leadership. So, his business model was wrong. It's the way he talked, the way he can bring young Chinese people following him."
@@arifgunawan9329 Fair point: the West did cause lots of uncertainty. But that doesn't mean the rest of the world is rest assured, at least not from where I'm standing. Truth is many people in my country are loosing their confidence towards economic outlook due to fear of uncertainty ,thus causing troubles like declining consumption and investment and so on. After all, we are living in an interconnected global village with global supply chain and everything, no way things happening in the West won't have impacts on the East, right?
@@arifgunawan9329 It’s true that trade tension between US and china is a major source for uncertainty and I also agree with you that whilst relying on a global supply chain, each country must develop its own certain decoupled and somewhat independent strategy. However, trade tensions are not the only source of global uncertainty. I would even argue that they are not the true problems but more like symptoms of other true problems such as a shift of global power structure paradigm and maybe pervasive slowing-down and deepening income inequality? Anyway, like I said previously, in a time of great uncertainty, I do appreciate the spirit of optimism, especially from those opinion leaders.
When Masa Son is proven right, you will see that we will become MORE human... There is so much art to do and billions of people to meet, once we are out of this time driven by scary fears and lack... Then, it will be an honorable time to have children.
I actually have an idea that is going to dramatically speed up innovation and productivity, and catapult us into the future. Absolutely, cannot wait to do this!!
I think he is such a iconic entrepreneur representing a perfect harmony of east asian contries ; Korea, Japan and China. he is one of defendants of Korea living in Japan, he not only produced a lot of historic IT products changing world but also invested key fund into early Alibarba ; the biggest e comerce company on earth.
It's also worth mentioning that he has been so successful despite being of Korean descent. Even if they're born in Japan, Korean's are still subject to discrimination in Japan. It's better now, but I remember a recruiter mentioning that Korean's had to change their names on job applications to be considered.
@@samuelson4244 It seems that he has both a Japanese and a Korean first name, but chooses to go by his Japanese first name. Maybe to emphasize his bi-cultural life?
It seems he wants to create androids (robot) in the future. He want robots and human to be united in one world. There are films or games that I feel Masayoshi Son could make real such as Bicentennial Man (film), Wall-E (film), A.I. Artificial Intelligence (film), and I, Robot (film), Robocop (film), Robot & Frank (film), Real Steel (film), Sayonara (Japanese film), and Ex Machina (film). Games: Detroit become human. Masayoshi Son doesn't worry about robots will take humans job, because he believes humans still can do better (creative, critical thinking, imagination, empathy and sympathy) than robots. New things always come. He wants the future where people can achieve more in less time, work efficiently and increase productivity at work. We know that the future is not like in the films or the future is not what we see in the films. It’s different. There is a possibility that robots can earn money and have their own bank accounts like humans do.
Masayoshi Son will go down as one of the best business magnets in the world, maybe even better than Buffet & Steve jobs. Son has a 300 year vision for his company and is one of the best investors in the world, he's a visionary. We'll be reading about him in business school in 20 years or so just you see.
working based on environment like mankind need is leading to great success as my understand according the discussion thank you very much for your sharing you performance
@@ajinkyaubale9713 huh ! I don't think you know that Saudi Arabia is the biggest investor in innovation in the Softbank vision fund ! not to mention the new innovation leading role the Saudi vision 2030 is playing in that field
@@godjapan3928 Yes, his ancestor might move from China to Korea 2000 years ago. But even though Korean family name "Son" uses the same chinese character like Chinese family name, it doesn't mean it has the same root. Because when korean started to express their name in Chinese character, they just borrow it to write down in Chinese character. And some Korean family names were made mimicking some Chinese family names.
The answer to the question of "How can there be new jobs when tools are replacing our mental labor instead of our physical labor?" Yes, tools will replace our brain, but the tools are built on our experiences(data). Until computers accumulate data without any data in the first place, there will be new jobs or I would like to call it, data collecting labors for the computers. Even today, Oracle's A.I. data engineer have replaced the most of data engineers job. Later on, only "job" that humans will be able to do is exploring abstract fields, like pure Mathematics.
JEconomist John Maynard Keynes predicted in the 30s/40s that we'd have 15 hour work-week. We were also promised flying cars around those eras. The endearing features of A.I. or "computers" is all things pertaining to abstract. If you are working in a very manual and basic job (that includes office works), then certainly yes you are definitely going to be replace before retirement.

1 hr of wisdom from none other than MASA himself. Please one with Jack Ma also. Thank you

I thought he was completely insane when he bought ARM for 30 billion but now its possibly going to replace x86 in a lot of areas.
