Topic: 2026 New Year Addresses: Entrepreneurs Forecast 2026 Trends On the morning of January 1, it was announced that Luo Zhenyu, founder of the Dedao App, had kicked off his New Year's Eve speech the previous day, marking the eleventh time he has delivered such an address. Opening the event, Luo Zhenyu revealed that his current weight is 155 jin, having lost 100 jin over the past decade.

On the afternoon of the 31st, Luo Zhenyu shared the process of his weight loss on social media; a video showed that his weight was 258 jin in 2015, 237 jin in 2020, 192 jin in 2023, and 158 jin in 2025. During his New Year's Eve speech, he remarked, "Past technological revolutions all had visible social landscapes. The steam engine led to factory chimneys rising from the ground; the internal combustion engine resulted in more and more cars spreading along highways; the computer brought masses of white-collar workers gathering in office buildings, with a computer on every desk. But this round of AI technological revolution is not like that. It has no specific social landscape, meaning there is nothing erected out there to remind you that the times have changed."

"The better I use AI, the more I feel it is another person, seemingly possessing limitless capabilities that I can explore forever, always yielding surprises. What kind of feeling is this, if not encountering a tool? It is more like I have met an incredibly charming good friend. Therefore, a thought has become increasingly clear in my mind: AI is not a tool, AI is a partner," Luo Zhenyu discussed. When addressing how humans can possibly be stronger than AI, Luo Zhenyu stated, "Many people say that human aesthetic sense, creativity, and perceptiveness are superior to AI's. I used to think so too, but now I am increasingly less confident. When I write, I often feel that the answers provided by AI are just too good. I sometimes feel a bit dazed, as if I am facing a sage of great wisdom. I truly am not sure that humans can forever surpass AI in aesthetic sense, creativity, and perceptiveness. So where exactly are humans stronger than AI? Two words: willpower, or in a more philosophical expression as Kant said, 'a judgment that is subjectively sufficient but objectively insufficient.'"
