AI Startups Can Survive Without Chips, Experts Reveal Three Keys to Success
In the fast-moving AI race in Silicon Valley, SparkLabs Taiwan said that startups without computing power or self-developed chips can still survive by building three key defenses. The first is to create “data barriers” in specialized fields. The second is to focus on solving core problems and avoid common traps. The third is to leverage resources from major tech companies such as LINE and ZVC.

第五則：高壓時代新智慧！阿Q精神成心理調適法
面對現代社會普遍存在的高壓與焦慮，「阿Q精神」被視為一種心理調適方式。這種心態並非逃避現實，而是透過適度「騙自己」達到心理平衡。
此概念源於魯迅筆下阿Q的「精神勝利法」，在現代心理學中被稱為「積極錯覺」。研究指出，適度的積極錯覺有助於提升自尊、減輕壓力與增強社會適應力，藉由改變對事件的解讀方式影響情緒與行為，成為現今社會維持心理彈性的關鍵。
Modern Stress Relief! The “Ah Q Mentality” as a Mindset for Balance
In today’s high-pressure and anxiety-filled society, the “Ah Q mentality” is seen as a way to adjust one’s mindset. This attitude is not about avoiding reality but about finding emotional balance by moderately “tricking” oneself.
This idea comes from Lu Xun’s character Ah Q and his “spiritual victory method,” which is known in modern psychology as “positive illusions.” Studies show that having moderate positive illusions can boost self-esteem, reduce stress, and improve social adaptability. By changing how people interpret events, they can influence emotions and behavior, helping maintain mental resilience in modern society.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.

Apple confirmed removing two LGBTQ dating apps in China under government orders, highlighting China’s continued tightening of LGBTQ expression.
SparkLabs Taiwan says startups without their own chips can still survive the AI race by building data barriers, solving key problems, and partnering with major tech firms.
The “Ah Q mentality,” known in modern psychology as “positive illusions,” can help people build mental resilience by reducing stress and improving emotional balance in today’s high-pressure society.
