PossibleHow Notion rebuilt for the age of AIIn this episode of Possible, Reid and Aria talk with Ivan Zhao, co-founder of Notion, about what happens when intelligence becomes abundant rather than scarce. Zhao shares his philosophy of treating computing as a material — like steel or steam — and why organizations must be built for human scale in an AI-driven world. From Renaissance cities to Xerox PARC, the conversation traces a shift from productivity software to cognitive infrastructure, and arrives at a clear conclusion: in an AI-powered future, human judgment, taste, and values matter most.

2026-01-0934 min企鵝不捨 啟發日記啟發日記D145 <<蒸氣-鋼鐵-無限心智>>—紅旗親愛的
你今天過得好嗎？
今天想和你分享的啟發關鍵詞是：紅旗。
在所有關於 AI 的討論裡，有一種揮之不去的焦慮：
如果 AI 越來越會做事，
那我們是不是該把事情「全部交出去」？
還是，反過來，我們應該「更嚴密地盯著它」？
Notion 創辦人 Ivan Zhao 在〈Steam, Steel, and Infinite Minds〉裡，沒有急著選邊站。x+1
他講了一個 19 世紀的故事，讓這個問題突然變得更清楚了。
1865 年，英國通過了一項著名的法律——《紅旗法案》（Red Flag Act，又稱 Locomotive Act）。
法律規定：
所有汽車在道路上行駛時，
必須有人走在車前一段距離，
高舉紅旗或提燈，提醒行人與馬車注意。
從今天回頭看，這幾乎像是一個笑話。
但 Ivan 提醒我們：
當年的立法者並不是愚蠢，也不是單純反對科技。
他們真正做的，是一件很「人性」的事：
用馬車時代的責任邏輯，來管理汽車時代的工具。
在馬車時代：
速度慢、動能有限；
風險大多「看得見」；
安排一個人在前面看路、示警，是合理的安全機制。
但當汽車出現後，速度與風險的型態徹底改變，
「人在前面舉紅旗」這種原本負責任的做法，
反而開始變成一種阻礙與荒謬。
Ivan 問了一個關鍵問題：
今天我們使用 AI 的方式，
會不會很像當年的紅旗——
看起來安全，
實際上卻是用上一個時代的思維，
在面對一個全新的工具？
Ivan 並不是在說「不要監管」。
相反的，他清楚指出：
AI 的風險更高、影響範圍更廣；
人類未來反而更需要「為結果負責」，而不是更少。
真正需要思考的，
是：人類要站在什麼位置上負責？
如果我們還停留在這種做法：
AI 寫一段內容，人逐字審；
AI 做一個判斷，人全程貼身盯；
AI 提出建議，人一再反覆修改每一小段；
這當然看起來比較安全，
但它的本質會不會依然是那個還在河邊使用蒸氣機的工廠?
也就是說，我們是不是依然被困在「舊的工作層級」裡。
Ivan 想指出的不是「少負責」，
而是提醒我們可以思考「換一種更適合人類的負責方式」：
不再監督每一個細節；
而是設計流程、定義邊界；
為整體結果與制度結構負責。
就像汽車真正成熟後，人不再走在車前舉紅旗，
但在更高的層次上，我們反而多了：
交通規則與號誌；
道路與城市設計；
煞車與安全系統；
駕照與保險制度。
責任沒有消失，
只是從「走在車前的那個人」，
移到了能夠看全局、設計系統的位置上。
Ivan 在文章裡反覆提醒：
我們現在大概還停在「剛把蒸汽機裝上水車」的階段。
AI 被大量使用了，
但多半只是被塞進舊的流程、舊的組織、舊的管理方式裡。
就像工廠仍然蓋在河邊，
只是把水車換成了蒸汽機——
有效，但遠遠不夠。
真正的轉變，不是「把事交給 AI」，
而是讓我們重新思考：
哪些事情，不該再由人逐條處理？
哪些判斷，應該被「上移一個層級」？
人在整個系統中的價值，應該站在什麼位置上？
親愛的你
也許，AI 時代最難的，
不是學會一個新的工具，
而是——
我們或是我們的下一代，要怎麼慢慢適應或離開「紅旗的位置」。
如何將人類價值發揮在不同的層次上。
如果現在的工作正在從馬車開始進入汽車時代了——
我們想想自己，
是還站在事情的最前面、揮著紅旗小跑步？
還是，正坐在方向盤後面，
開始思考：
路怎麼規劃？
規則怎麼訂？
什麼情況該踩煞車、該轉彎？
願我們在這個快速變動的時代裡，
都能一點一點，
走向更屬於人的位置。

2026-01-0814 min企鵝不捨 啟發日記啟發日記D144 <<蒸氣-鋼鐵-無限心智>>—城市化親愛的你
今天過得好嗎？
今天想跟你分享的啟發關鍵詞是：城市化。
很久以前，城市是用「人的尺度」打造的。
Ivan Zhao 在〈Steam, Steel, and Infinite Minds〉裡提到一個畫面：
在文藝復興時期的佛羅倫斯，你大約四十分鐘就能步行穿過整座城市。
那時候，生活的節奏，取決於：
一個人能走多遠；
聲音能傳多遠；
人與人能不能面對面說話。
後來，鋼鐵、電梯與蒸汽機出現了。
鋼骨結構讓大樓往上長，
蒸汽與鐵道讓城市向外擴張，
地鐵、高速公路把原本遙遠的距離壓縮在通勤時間裡。
城市不只是「變高」或「變大」，
而是從人可以直覺理解的複雜度，
進入到必須依靠各種系統——交通、管線、網路、規劃——才能運作的狀態。
東京、紐約、台北，
早已不是佛羅倫斯的放大版，
而是一種完全不同的生活結構。
Ivan 提出一個很有意思的類比——
知識經濟，正在經歷一場「城市化」的過程。
過去，一個組織只要人一多，就會開始出現一些熟悉的症狀：
會議越來越多；
資訊越來越難對齊；
決策越來越慢。
這不是因為大家不夠努力，
而是因為「完全靠人腦溝通」的模式，本來就有規模上的天花板。
Ivan 的想像是：
如果 AI 能夠——
在不同工作流程之間，維持完整的上下文；
在需要的時候，自動浮現決策所需的資訊與風險；
幫助團隊用非同步的方式對齊共識；
那麼，一個組織能「順利運作」的規模，就有機會突破人類原本的限制。tijer+2
就像城市不再只依賴「走路能到多遠」，
工作，也不一定只能依賴「開會、同時在線、面對面」。
於是，知識工作可能會從：
小型團隊、會議節奏主導的一般公司（像「佛羅倫斯」），
走向：
有數千名人類與成千上萬個 AI 智能體同時運作、跨時區、24 小時不間斷的「知識型巨型城市」——像一座看不見的「東京」。
那時候，我們的生產力會長成什麼樣子？
而在那樣的尺度裡，人類的價值，是被放大，還是被稀釋？
這大概就是我們這一代，需要一起面對的新問題。
有一個有趣的對比是：
在線上的「AI 城市」裡，陌生人之間可以更容易合作，
配合更高整合度的人機介面，
整體社會效率和產能，都有機會被大幅拉高。
但在真實的城市裡呢？
有些工作，也許真的不再需要每天進出實體城市；
遠距協作、線上開會、跨國團隊，可能會變成更常態的樣子。
可是，也會不會有一些事情——
建立深度信任；
維持長期關係；
情感上的彼此陪伴；
高密度、充滿偶然性的創意碰撞——
反而更需要人與人真實地靠近，在同一個空間裡發生？
也許，我們可以一起試著區分一下：
哪些合作，可以放心交給「AI 城市的尺度」？
哪些連結，只有真實城市、真實相遇才裝得下？
親愛的你，
城市化，某種意義上，
是陌生人之間的合作關係變得越來越緊密。
而在 AI 能做的事情越來越多的時代，
我們要面對的新問題，或許是：
當合作的規模，超過人類直覺能掌握的範圍時，我們是否準備好新的「心理」與「身體」基礎設施，讓事情還能順利、安全、而且有尊嚴地運作？
你呢？
在你的工作或生活裡，
有沒有哪一種「城市尺度」的變化——
例如團隊變大、合作變遠、節奏變快——
正在悄悄影響著你？
也許是一個讓人有點喘不過氣的新節奏，
也可能是一個讓你看見更多可能性的新的連結方式。
期待有一天，
聽你分享，
你正在適應、或正在重新選擇的那一種「城市節奏」。
明天，這一週的最後一篇，
我們會一起來看看 Ivan 在文末提到的「紅旗法案」小故事——
關於當新事物出現時，人類如何在恐懼與調整之間，慢慢學會共存。

2026-01-0716 min企鵝不捨 啟發日記啟發日記D143 <<蒸氣-鋼鐵-無限心智>>—數位同事親愛的你
今天過得好嗎？
今天想跟你分享的啟發關鍵詞是：數位同事。
過去，我們談「工具」，
多半指的是「幫我把事情做快一點」：
計算機幫我們算帳
電腦幫我們打字
軟體幫我們整理資料
但在 Notion 創辦人 Ivan Zhao 的文章裡，他描述了一個正在發生的變化：
AI 不再只是工具，而是開始出現「角色」。
在 Notion，公司裡除了大約一千名員工，
還有超過七百個 AI 智能體同時在運作。
它們負責的，並不是創意發想，
而是許多原本需要人類反覆處理的事：
整理會議紀錄、摘要重點
回答常見問題、彙整內部知識
處理 IT 請求、記錄客戶回饋
協助新同事入職、解答制度問題
整理每週進度，減少人工抄貼報告
這已經不是「我用一下 AI 幫幫忙」，
而比較像是：
「這一塊，就交給你負責了。」
AI 不再只是手邊的一把工具，
而是被當成「一位負責特定任務的數位同事」。
Ivan 在文中提到一個具體的例子：
Notion 的共同創辦人 Simon，本來就是大家口中的「10 倍工程師」。
過去，他自己寫程式、自己改、自己測。
現在，走到他的座位前，
看到的卻是他同時指揮三、四個 AI 編碼智能體在跑任務：
他在睡前或吃飯前，把任務拆好、說清楚要做什麼；
AI 智能體在他離開的時候持續工作；
等他回來，成果已經擺在那裡，等他檢查與整合。
於是，他的角色也跟著改變：
不再只是「寫程式的人」，
而更像是：
分派工作的人
判斷優先順序的人
驗證結果、做最後判斷的人
重點其實不是他變成了「30～40 倍的工程師」，
而是——工作方式被重新分工了。
當 AI 可以：
並行處理
不受時間限制地持續運作
人類最重要的能力，
就不再只是「我親手把事情做完」，
而是：
知道哪些事該交出去做；
知道怎麼把任務拆給數位同事；
知道用什麼標準，來確認「這件事算是做好了」。
也許在不遠的將來，
我們每個人身邊，都會有幾位「自己的數位同事」：
有的擅長幫你整理資訊
有的專門幫你排程、回覆信件
有的幫你把零碎的想法，整理成可以分享的文字或提案
這並不一定代表我們會變得更忙，
反而會逼我們重新思考一件事：
如果不再需要親手完成每一步，那我真正該負責的是什麼？
是判斷？
是方向？
是價值排序？
是照顧人在其中的感受與倫理？
科技真正帶來的改變，
很少是一夜之間發生。
它往往是從一個小小的角色轉換開始，
直到某天回頭看，
才發現自己已經不再站在原來的位置上。
親愛的你
如果有一位永遠不會累的數位同事，
你最想把哪一件事情，放心地交給它？
是那些一直堆在代辦清單底端、卻總沒時間處理的重複工作？
還是整理資料、寫會議紀錄、排行程、做表格？
期待哪一天，聽你分享：
當你開始學會「把事情交出去」之後，
你的時間與心力，又多出來可以做些什麼。
明天，我們會把視角拉到更大的尺度——
一起談談：當這些「數位同事」在整個社會與城市裡同時運作時，
我們所熟悉的「城市」又會變成什麼模樣。

2026-01-062h 31企鵝不捨 啟發日記啟發日記D142 <<蒸氣-鋼鐵-無限心智>>—河邊親愛的你
今天過得好嗎？
今天想跟你分享的啟發關鍵詞是：河邊。
延續昨天的「奇蹟材料」，
Notion 創辦人 Ivan Zhao 在〈Steam, Steel, and Infinite Minds〉裡提到一個很有畫面的比喻。
在工業革命早期，多數工廠都蓋在河邊，因為必須靠水車來驅動機器。
遇到連續乾旱、河水枯竭，工廠就可能跟著停擺。
後來蒸汽機被發明了。
一開始，工廠主只是把水車換成蒸汽機，其他一切維持不變，
結果生產力雖然有提升，卻沒有出現真正的飛躍。
直到有一天，有人開始問：
既然已經不需要河流，
為什麼工廠還一定要蓋在河邊？
為什麼工廠的動線與格局，還是照舊？
當工廠開始搬離河邊，
改蓋在靠近工人、原料與港口的地方，
並重新設計整個空間與流程後，
生產力才真正出現爆炸式的成長。
第一層啟發：河邊，曾經是最好的位置
在蒸汽機出現之前，
工廠「必須」蓋在河邊。
不是因為風景好，
而是因為：
水車需要穩定水流
機器運轉必須仰賴自然的力量
河邊，曾經是效率的保證，
也是風險最低的選擇。
後來，蒸汽機出現了。
它不再需要河流、不看季節、不靠天氣。
理論上，工廠可以蓋在任何地方——
但一開始，多數工廠主做的，
只是把水車換成蒸汽機，
工廠依然蓋在同一條河邊。
技術已經改變了，習慣卻還留在原地。
第二層啟發：最大的限制，有時來自曾經的成功
回頭看，這其實很人性。
河邊，曾經帶來成功；
離開河邊，卻代表進入一個未知的世界。
所以即使條件已經不同，
人們仍然選擇留在熟悉的位置，
用新的工具，維持舊的秩序。
直到有人真正問出那個問題：
「既然不需要河流，
為什麼我們還在河邊？」
當工廠願意真的離開河邊，
重新思考動線、空間與整個生產流程，
生產力才終於迎來大幅躍升。
回到今天：我們用 AI 的方式，也很像當年的工廠
現在我們使用 AI，
很多時候也停留在「換了一台水車」的階段。
我們把 AI 放進原本的工作流程：
更快寫文件
更快整理資料
更快回信、做簡報
但工作的結構、分工方式、會議節奏，
往往幾乎沒有改變。
就像把一台蒸汽機，
裝進一座為水車設計的舊工廠。
「河邊」，變成了一種隱喻——
它可能是我們：
熟悉的流程
習慣的節奏
那句「一直以來都是這樣做」帶來的安全感
親愛的你
技術出現的那一刻，
世界不一定會立刻改變。
真正改變世界的，
往往是人終於願意「離開河邊」的那一天。
你呢？
在你的工作或生活裡，
有沒有哪一條「河」，
其實已經不再是必要條件，
卻仍然讓你停留在原地、不敢走遠？
期待有機會聽你分享。
明天，我們會一起聊聊——
當 AI 不只是一個工具，而像是一位「數位同事」時，
我們要怎麼重新想像合作這件事。

2026-01-0616 min企鵝不捨 啟發日記啟發日記D141 <<蒸氣-鋼鐵-無限心智>>—奇蹟材料親愛的你
今天過得好嗎？
今天想跟你分享的啟發關鍵詞是：奇蹟材料。
2025 年底，Notion 創辦人 Ivan Zhao 寫了一篇很有意思的文章〈Steam, Steel, and Infinite Minds〉，用「奇蹟材料」這個比喻，重新談了一次科技與時代的關係。
這禮拜，我們想用五天的時間，慢慢和你一起走進這個比喻裡，看它為我們打開了哪些新的視角。
第一層啟發：不是人變厲害了，而是材料改變了可能性
Ivan 提到，每個時代，幾乎都有一種關鍵材料，重新定義了人類的想像範圍。
19 世紀以前，建築物很難超過六、七層。
不是因為設計師不夠聰明，而是因為「材料不允許」。
當時主要用的是鐵：
鐵雖然堅固，卻很重、也很脆
樓蓋得越高，結構就越容易在自身重量下坍塌
一直到 1856 年，煉鋼技術突破，
鋼鐵變得更輕、更強，成本也大幅下降，
摩天大樓才第一次成為「合理的選項」。
鋼鐵並沒有讓建築師突然變聰明，
但它讓「往天空長高」這件事，
從只能畫在紙上的幻想，變成真實存在的天際線。
Ivan 把這樣的關鍵，叫做 Miracle Material（奇蹟材料）：
鋼鐵之於工業時代；
半導體之於數位時代；
而在今天，他認為——
AI，正在成為這個時代的奇蹟材料。
第二層啟發：很多限制，其實不是「我不夠好」，而是「材料還沒準備好」
這個觀點，如果輕輕放回我們自己的生活，其實也很有力量。
有時候，我們會這樣懷疑自己：
是不是我不夠有天賦？
是不是我效率太差？
是不是我能力永遠追不上世界？
但歷史在提醒我們：
很多「做不到」，
有時候不是人的問題，
而是基礎設施、工具、材料，還沒到那個位置。
就像在沒有鋼鐵之前，
再會畫圖、再會算結構的建築師，
也蓋不出真正意義上的摩天大樓。
當材料改變時，
不是每個人都被迫「變得更努力」，
而是——有些原本完全不可能的事情，
突然變成「也許可以試試看」。
在 Ivan 的比喻裡，AI 正在扮演這樣的角色：
它不一定讓我們瞬間變聰明，
但它正在改變一件事——
「哪些事，變得值得被嘗試。」
親愛的你，
站在今天回頭看，我們很容易說：
鋼鐵改變了一座城市的天際線、
蒸汽與電力改變了一個世代的生活節奏。
但也許，幾十年後的人回頭看現在，
會發現：在我們這個節點，真正重要的，
並不是「誰最早用上 AI」，
而是——
誰先看懂，它讓哪些事情「從不可能，變成可能」。
你呢？
最近有沒有哪一件事，
因為工具、材料或環境的改變，
突然從「不太可能」，
變成了「好像也可以試試看」？
期待聽聽你的故事。
明天，我們會順著 Ivan 的比喻，
一起走到「河邊」看看，
那些從水車走到蒸汽機的工廠，
能替我們今天的選擇，照亮什麼樣的一小塊路。

David的AI全景图全文｜Notion CEO最新博文：蒸汽、钢铁与无限的智能2025 年最后一天，分享一篇好文。来自 Notion CEO Ivan Zhao 的最新博文：蒸汽、钢铁与无限的智能（Steam, Steel, and Infinite Minds）。以蒸汽、钢铁等历史上的重要材料为引子，探讨AI对知识工作的深远影响。是我最近读到最有历史感的一篇AI产业思考。 “如今最流行的AI形式看起来很像过去的谷歌搜索。正如马歇尔·麦克卢汉所说：‘我们总是透过后视镜驶向未来。’” “借助人工智能代理，像西蒙（Notion CTO）这样的人已经从骑自行车升级到了开车。” “人工智能是企业的钢铁。它能够贯穿整个工作流程，并在需要时提供清晰的决策依据，避免信息干扰。” “我们仍处于‘替换水车’阶段，人工智能聊天机器人只是简单地附加到现有工具上。我们还没有重新构想，当旧的限制消失，公司可以依靠无限的智能系统在你睡觉时运转时，组织会是什么样子。”原文链接：https://www.notion.com/zh-cn/blog/steam-steel-and-infinite-minds-ai

Decoder with Nilay PatelHow the head of Obsidian went from superfan to CEOObsidian is a note-taking and productivity app that occupies the same "second brain" space as competitors like Notion — but in a lot of ways, it's also startlingly different. Obsidian's files are Markdown-based, stored locally on your own devices, and completely free to use.
Steph Ango, the CEO, is also different in a lot of ways: He's not an Obsidian founder, but instead came to the role from being basically a member of the fan development community. His take on software, productivity, and business is refreshingly old-fashioned in a lot of good ways, while he's also leading a ve...

播客翻译计划#11 当AI遇上Notion：Notion CEO Evan Zhao 谈工具的未来📝 本期播客简介本期对话来自科技媒体 The Verge 的王牌播客《Decoder》，主持人凯西·牛顿（Platformer 创始人）深度专访 Notion 联合创始人兼 CEO 伊万·赵。作为 Notion 的重度用户，凯西与这位硅谷明星创业者探讨了三大核心议题：工具如何重塑人类生产力认知？一家坚持”慢公司“理念的企业如何十年磨一剑突破3000万用户？当AI浪潮席卷而来，Notion 如何用“AI赋能人类创造力”而非替代？伊万·赵更犀利指出：用户长期忍受糟糕工具设计的现状必须终结——真正的生产变革始于对工具提出更高要求。⚙️ 本期嘉宾伊万·赵（Ivan Zhao），Notion 联合创始人兼 CEO。2013年创立 Notion 至今，带领团队打造出全球增长最快的生产力工具之一。其核心理念“All-in-One Workspace”颠覆传统SaaS模式，主张工具应适应人类思维而非相反。在AI时代提出”Human in the Loop“框架，坚持技术必须服务于人的创造力延伸。🌟 精彩内容🛠️ 工具设计的哲学悖论：“我们总在问“如何提升效率”，却很少质疑工具本身的设计逻辑。就像给你一把钝斧头，再怎么优化挥斧动作都是徒劳。”伊万揭示工具进化的核心矛盾：现有软件往往强迫用户适应机器逻辑，而 Notion 的模块化设计让工具首次实现了“人类思维的可视化映射”。 🚀 反常识增长策略：当同行疯狂融资扩张时，Notion 曾因用户增长过慢被投资人质疑。伊万坚持“先打造用户热爱的产品，再思考增长”：通过允许用户用 Notion 建个人网站、开发第三方模板等“非正统”功能，意外触发指数级传播。如今企业客户主动上门的关键转折点，他总结为”工具情感化“——当员工自愿把工作流迁移到 Notion，说明它真正成了思维伙伴。 🤖 AI 的“人本主义”革命：针对AI替代人类的焦虑，伊万演示了 Notion AI 的底层逻辑：当用户要求“把会议记录转化为OKR”时，AI不是直接输出结果，而是生成可编辑的草案框架。“就像给作家一支更智能的笔——核心创作权永远属于人。”他更预言：未来十年工具进化的分水岭，在于能否守护人类的“创造性”。🌐 播客信息补充翻译克隆自：Notion's CEO wants you to demand better from your tools本播客由AI进行中文音频制作，如果你对翻译和音频质量有任何意见，随时联系微信：caiwenshuo你可在 Bayt 播客收听任何英文播客的中文版：apps.apple.com关键词：Notion, 生产力工具, 伊万·赵, SaaS, AI革命, 人机协作, 工具设计哲学, 创业增长, 模块化软件, 创造力工具, 硅谷创业, Decoder播客, 凯西·牛顿, 未来工作
