Американский учёный приехал в Китай в 2005-м. Почему он остался

An American scientist came to China in 2005 — and stayed. My friend Jesse explains why the biggest growth story of his lifetime didn't happen in the US, and what it really takes to build a life inside another civilization. One evening by the Grand Canal in Beijing: two friends of 12+ years, a group of curious kids, a security guard, and an honest conversation about China, the US, AI and building things far from home. Inside this film: • Why Jesse left the US for China in 2005 — "it had to do with humans" • How AI changed what one founder can do: "Hey computer, do the thing" • Kids, a security guard and one phone call that solved everything • "He's not a laowai anymore" — when a foreigner becomes a local • "It happens in China": why the US won't grow like this again • Double jeopardy: succeeding in two civilizations at once Chapters 0:00 "It doesn't happen in the US" 0:34 Two friends at the Grand Canal 0:46 Why he came to China in 2005 2:38 "Hey computer, do the thing" 4:15 Kids, a guard and one phone call 5:34 AI is civilization, encoded 6:30 "He's not a laowai anymore" 7:06 Why China, not the US 11:28 Europe was "the next town" 12:30 Dusk: everybody knows we're here #China #Beijing #LivingInChina
