我采访过从国家元首到时尚偶像的各界人士,聊他们对当下新闻的看法,但我一直很好奇,这些人在领导岗位上究竟是什么样的人。

I've interviewed everyone from heads of state to fashion icons about the news of the moment, but I've always been curious who are these people as leaders.

Speaker 1

我觉得领导力没有唯一正确的做法。

I don't think there's one right way to be a leader.

Speaker 2

做决定。

Make decisions.

Speaker 2

一个糟糕的决定,也总比不做决定要好。

A poor decision is always better than no decision.

Speaker 4

大家好,欢迎收听《Odd Lots》的又一期节目。

Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Odd Lots podcast.

Speaker 4

我是特蕾西·阿拉韦。

I'm Tracy Allaway.

Speaker 5

我是乔·魏森塔尔。

And I'm Joe Wiesenthal.

Speaker 4

乔,每当我想到金融世界,还有近年来和几十年来的那些大趋势时,我马上就能想到两个,也许还有第三个。

Joe, when I think about the world of finance Yeah.

Speaker 4

乔,每当我想到金融世界,还有近年来和几十年来的那些大趋势时,我马上就能想到两个,也许还有第三个。

And what I would describe as megatrends of recent years and decades, there are definitely two that spring to mind, maybe a third trend.

Speaker 4

不过,我不确定这算不算‘巨大’。

Although, I don't know if it's mega.

Speaker 4

估计算是吧。

Probably is.

Speaker 4

第一个绝对是买方力量的崛起。

The first is definitely the rise of the buy side.

Speaker 4

以前大家关注的都是银行,那些才是我们最在意的角色。

So this idea that, you know, it very much used to be all about the banks, and those were the ones that we kind of obsessed over.

Speaker 4

但后来资产管理行业迎来了惊人的增长。

And then you have this extraordinary growth in the asset management industry.

Speaker 4

第二个大趋势肯定是技术。

The second megatrend has to be technology.

Speaker 4

对吧?

Right?

Speaker 4

没错。

Yep.

Speaker 4

想想电子交易、电子风险管理、模型驱动的风险管理的兴起。

Think about the rise of electronic trading, electronic risk management, model driven risk management.

Speaker 5

我喜欢这个观点。

I like this.

Speaker 4

第三个算是半 megatrend。

And then the third semi megatrend.

Speaker 4

我不太确定。

I don't know.

Speaker 4

私募市场的兴起。

Rise of private markets.

Speaker 4

对吧?

Right?

Speaker 5

是的。

Yeah.

Speaker 5

哦,我还有一个想法。

Oh, I have another one Okay.

Speaker 5

我觉得这个确实成立。

That I think is legit.

Speaker 5

少数几家超级公司主导市场的幂律现象,不管是咨询行业还是其他领域。

The sort of power law domination of a few mega companies and sort of whether it's consulting

Speaker 4

变得更大了。

get bigger.

Speaker 5

整个行业赢家通吃,或者赢家通吃大部分的格局。

The winner take allness or the winner take mostness of the industry.

Speaker 5

我会把这一点也列为一个宏观趋势。

I would add that as a megatrend.

Speaker 5

好的。

Okay.

Speaker 5

这跟本期内容是相关的。

That's say that connects to this episode.

Speaker 4

完全没错。

Absolutely.

Speaker 4

所以我们有四大趋势,而且正好请到了一位完美的嘉宾

So we have four big slash megatrends, and we have the perfect guest

Speaker 5

没错。

We do.

Speaker 4

来聊聊这四个方面。

To talk about all of those four things.

Speaker 4

而且现在正好赶上新一轮技术浪潮——确实如此。

And it comes at a time when, obviously, we're in this new sort of technological wave Yeah.

Speaker 4

就是人工智能。

With AI.

Speaker 4

现在金融圈的业内人士,几乎都想找到办法参与进人工智能的领域。

It very much feels like everyone in professional finance wants to figure out a way of being involved in AI in one way or another.

Speaker 4

挺有意思的。

It's funny.

Speaker 4

前几天我见了一个人,他在一家大银行工作,他说二十年前自己做的那些工作,现在经理们非要他把所有数据都录入一个大型Excel表格,因为接下来要把这些数据全扔进AI模型里。

I was meeting up with someone who works at a very large bank the other day, and they were talking about how work that they've done twenty years ago, their managers are now adamant it has to be put into a big Excel database because they're about to shove all of that into an AI model.

Speaker 4

所以你

So you

Speaker 5

可以看出是这样。

can see Yeah.

Speaker 5

确实如此。

Yeah.

Speaker 4

你能感觉到这种紧迫感。

You can see there's this, like, urgency.

Speaker 4

没错。

Yeah.

Speaker 4

而且一直有个问题,就是其中有多少

And there's a perennial question over how much of it

Speaker 5

只是些随机存在的数据,他们只是为了让AI模型能接触到,才把它们放进数据湖里。

is Random random data that exists somewhere, they need to have it as part of a data lake or whatever so that the AI model knows about it.

Speaker 4

哦,这说得通。

Oh, that makes sense.

Speaker 4

是的。

Yeah.

Speaker 4

我觉得关键在于,有多少是管理者在跟风AI潮流,又有多少真能变成有实际用处的技术呢,对吧。

And I I think the question for this is how much of it is managers who are latching on to the AI trend versus how much of this is actually gonna become productive, useful technology Mhmm.

Speaker 4

特别是在金融领域。

For finance.

Speaker 4

我们可以专门聊聊这个。

So we can definitely talk a little bit about that.

Speaker 4

不过我们正好请到了一位完美的嘉宾。

But we do have the perfect guest.

Speaker 5

那就开始吧。

Let's do it.

Speaker 4

好的。

Alright.

Speaker 4

接下来我们要和罗布·戈德斯坦对话。

So we're gonna be speaking with Rob Goldstein.

Speaker 4

他当然是贝莱德的首席运营官,亲身经历了我们刚才提到的每一个重大趋势。

He is, of course, the COO of BlackRock, someone who has literally lived through basically all of these megatrends that we just described.

Speaker 6

没错。

Yes.

Speaker 6

问题是,我们有多少时间呢?

And the question is how many hours do we have?

Speaker 6

不用说,这些重大趋势我们聊上很久都不成问题。

Because, you know, needless to say, those megatrends we could talk about for quite some time.

Speaker 5

是的。

Yeah.

Speaker 5

我们可以做个系列节目。

We could do a series.

Speaker 6

确实可以做个系列。

We we could do a series.

Speaker 5

认真的。

Part serious.

Speaker 6

还有一件事我想温和地提一下,大家在谈论‘大者愈大’的时候,其实背后有个推动力,就是那些能提供更好价值的人正在变强。

And and one thing I would just politely identify, I think as people talk about the big getting bigger Yeah.

Speaker 6

我认为,推动这种趋势的根本动力,是那些能提供更优价值的机构正在不断壮大。

I think there's an underlying catalyst towards those who could provide a better value proposition are getting bigger.

Speaker 6

明白了。

Okay.

Speaker 6

我觉得这正是当前资产管理端正在发生的核心趋势。

And I think that's the key theme that's happening particularly with regard to the buy side.

Speaker 5

你刚才说的那句话,我有点没听清,能再说一遍吗?

I know you were saying, what was that?

Speaker 5

你没直接反驳,但语气里带点委婉的补充,像是这么回事。

A polite you didn't push back, but a polite nuance or something like that.

Speaker 5

但可以说,在很多情况下,能否提供更好的价值本身就跟规模有关,因为大机构能提供全套服务,菜单上的东西样样都有。

But one could say that the ability to provide a better value proposition is itself a function of size in many instances because the larger have the full suite, the whole menu, right, of services.

Speaker 5

所以这里头,还藏着一层又一层的讲究。

So even there, there's, like, a nuance upon a nuance.

Speaker 6

完全正确。

A 100%.

Speaker 6

有趣的是,如果你梳理一下这些宏观趋势,

And and what's interesting is, I think if you ordered the mega themes Yeah.

Speaker 6

你完全可以有力地指出,这一切最终都归结为技术。

You can make a very strong argument that it all comes down to technology.

Speaker 6

没错。

Okay.

Speaker 6

技术正在推动一些过去根本不可能实现的服务和价值主张成为现实。

And technology is enabling things and value propositions to be achieved that traditionally just couldn't be done.

Speaker 5

很好。

Great.

Speaker 5

我们来具体聊聊这一点。

Let's just talk about that.

Speaker 4

顺便说一句,我有时候会把黑石说成贝莱德,这真的没错吗?

Is it true that, like, some of BlackRock's foundational by the way, the chances that I say Blackstone in this conversation

Speaker 5

是的

Yeah.

Speaker 5

那倒不是

That's not

Speaker 6

这可不妙。

that's not good.

Speaker 4

提前向您道歉。

I apologize in advance.

Speaker 5

我们之前开过一次预备会,我说我在这个行业干了很久。

Happened that we had a pre call, and I said that I've been in this business a long time.

Speaker 5

我们和罗布开过一次预备会。

We had a pre call with Rob.

Speaker 5

好几次都把黑石说成黑石了。

Like, several weeks ago, said Blackstone.

Speaker 5

我能感觉到她那边一片沉默。

And then, like, I could tell her, like, a silent silence.

Speaker 5

我刚才说错话了。

Like, I said the wrong thing right now.

Speaker 5

但他早就听过了。

But he's heard it all before.

Speaker 4

但愿如此。

I hope so.

Speaker 4

所以,黑石的文化真的和科技紧密相关吗?

So is it true that, like, the foundational culture of BlackRock is very much tied to technology?

Speaker 4

我以前常听说的故事,是关于一台太阳工作站的。

Because the story that I always used to hear was about a Sun workstation Yeah.

Speaker 4

还有本·戈卢布。

And Ben Golub.

Speaker 6

是的。

Yeah.

Speaker 6

本现在还是他亲密的朋友和导师,他是黑石的创始合伙人之一。

And Ben is still a close friend and mentor, Ben being one of the founding partners of BlackRock.

Speaker 6

我觉得如果把视野放得宽一点,黑石的历史其实反映了过去三十五年里最成功企业的共同特点。

I think if you zoom out a little bit, because I think the history of BlackRock is very reflective of what the past thirty, thirty five years have been, in terms of the companies that have been most successful.

Speaker 6

看看黑石的创始团队,他们是一群在结构性产品和抵押贷款市场演变方面走在最前面的人。

And if you look at the founders of BlackRock, they were a group of people who were pioneers with regard to structured products and the evolution of the mortgage market.

Speaker 6

他们发现,当时银行——也就是你们说的卖方——正用着超级计算机来设计这些产品,那些机器贵得离谱。

And what they realized is that banks at the time, the sell side, as you guys sort of laid the groundwork, banks at the time were using supercomputers, and they were very expensive computers to structure things.

Speaker 6

而他们卖这些产品的方式,居然是把收益率表格用传真机发到世界各地。

And then the way they were selling those products was literally by faxing yield tables all over the world.

Speaker 6

我知道,当我跟二十岁、三十岁的年轻人,包括我那二十出头的孩子们说这些时,很多人根本想象不到,那时候连电脑都还没普及。

And I know, and when I say this to 20 year old, 30 year olds, including my own children who are in their early 20s, a lot of the people back then didn't even have computers.

Speaker 6

是的。

Yeah.

Speaker 6

那时候的电脑,是好几个人共用一台,而不是每个人桌上都有一台。

Like, computers were like there was one for a group of people as opposed to everyone had one on their desk.

Speaker 6

所以黑石创立的初衷,就是想构建一些模型,帮助人们更清楚地了解这类金融工具的风险,为最终的资产所有者提供支持。

So the thesis behind forming BlackRock was that we could actually build models that would help provide risk transparency for those type of instruments and help the end asset owner.

Speaker 6

我们可以搭建这些模型,借助太阳工作站这个创新,只要你不是太笨,花一万美金买十台太阳工作站,把它们连起来,就能完成以前只有几百万美元的超级计算机才能做到的事。

We could build those models, and through the Sun workstation as the innovation, if you were reasonably clever, you didn't need to be a genius, but if you were reasonably clever, you could buy 10 Sun workstations for $10,000 each and link them together, and effectively do what previously only supercomputers that cost millions of dollars could do.

Speaker 6

所以黑石创立的核心理念,其实就是怎么把当时买方市场根本用不到的这些技术能力,变成打造资产管理公司的核心引擎。

So the founding thesis of BlackRock was really about how do we bring those technology capabilities, which were not really available on the buy side, how do we use them as the core of building an asset manager?

Speaker 6

这就是当初创立黑石的初衷。

That was the founding thesis.

Speaker 6

我觉得其中一个真正的成功关键,现在听起来可能有点奇怪,但我想说的是——

And I think one of the real success factors, and I think that when you look today, what I'm about to say seems like very odd, but I guess this

Speaker 4

这是《Odd Lots》。

is Odd Lots.

Speaker 4

所以呢,呃——

So so

Speaker 6

正合适。

it's perfect.

Speaker 6

我1994年加入黑石的时候,公司大概八十个人,管理资产一千九百亿美金,我当时在数据与分析团队。

But when I started at BlackRock in 1994, when we had roughly 80 people, dollars 19,000,000,000 in assets under management, I was in the data and analytics team.

Speaker 6

我当时其实就是个数据分析师。

I was effectively a data analyst.

Speaker 6

就像现在,数据、技术、分析才是最热门的领域。

And like today, data, technology, analytics are where the cool kids are.

Speaker 6

但那时候,这些根本没人看重。

Back then, it was not where the cool kids are.

Speaker 6

我说真的。

Trust me.

Speaker 6

如今回头看,资产管理本质上是个信息处理行业,这道理再明显不过了。

And the whole concept of recognizing very early on that the asset management business at its core is an information processing business today is so obvious.

Speaker 6

可要是倒退个十来年、二十来年,甚至三十年前,这想法可太前卫了。

But if you rewind back ten, twenty, thirty years ago, that was a very unique novel concept.

Speaker 5

我们真得花上五个钟头才行。

We really do need, like, five hours.

Speaker 5

我知道。

I know.

Speaker 5

这有点跑题了。

And this is kind of a tangent.

Speaker 5

你提到过,可以把十台太阳工作站连起来组成一台超级计算机。

You mentioned the idea of, like, you could string 10 sun sun workstations together to make a supercomputer.

Speaker 5

我们现在其实是在回到未来,或者说让未来倒退了一点。

We are actually going back to the future or the future back a little bit.

Speaker 5

目前在计算领域,我有个好朋友答应今年晚些时候帮我。

These currently, in computing, I have a good friend who has promised to help me later this year.

Speaker 5

我打算买五台Mac mini,因为他跟我说,只要把四五台Mac mini连在一起,就能在家部署自己的大语言模型,再也不用依赖其他公司的数据中心来无限使用令牌了。

I'm gonna buy, like, five Mac minis because he says you can host your own LLM now from home if you just have, like, four or five Mac minis strung together, and then you don't have to do then you don't have to depend on any other company's data center for unlimited token usage.

Speaker 5

所以这事儿迟早会卷土重来。

So this is gonna kinda come back.

Speaker 6

不过这确实挺有意思的。

Well, it's it's interesting, though.

Speaker 6

我觉得我们现在正处在一个关键问题上,我也不知道确切答案,但我能提出两个很有说服力的观点。

I think that's a real question in terms of where we are right now because I don't know the answer to this, but I could make two good arguments.

Speaker 6

一种观点和你刚才说的差不多。

One is along the lines of what you're saying.

Speaker 5

对。

Yeah.

Speaker 6

另一种看法是,我们现在所处的时代,如果认真想想AI的发展,其实是在把能源转化为智能。

The other is we are living in an age right now, if you really just think about what's happening with AI, you could convert energy to intelligence.

Speaker 6

你花在能源上的钱越多,就能获得越强的智能。

And the more money you spend on energy, the more intelligence you have.

Speaker 6

和过去几十年的很多技术趋势不同,这是一条需要大量资金投入的技术路线。

You could argue, different than many technology trends that we've had over the past couple of decades, this is a technology trend that requires capital.

Speaker 6

是的。

Mhmm.

Speaker 6

而且需要花大笔的钱。

And it requires spending a lot of money.

Speaker 5

对。

Yeah.

Speaker 6

我觉得现在有个真正的问题:这项技术到底是需要巨额投入,还是最终可能只是五个家伙在家车库里,用几台Mac Mini就能创造奇迹。

And I think there's a real question about whether or not this is a very expensive technology or if this will ultimately wind up being five guys at home in a garage with a handful of Mac Minis can accomplish miracles.

Speaker 6

我还不确定哪一种情况最终会成真。

I I don't know if that's certain yet which one is gonna prove true.

Speaker 5

我想更多了解一下你的背景,还有你这些年参与打造的Aladdin和相关技术,但先问个宏观的问题:AI对金融领域可能产生的影响中,有一件事特别让我感兴趣,那就是AI是非确定性的。

I wanna, like, get in more on your history and Aladdin and the technology that you've been involved in building over these years, but maybe big picture question is, like, one of the things about AI that really strikes me as potentially interesting with how it's gonna affect finance is AI is nondeterministic.

Speaker 5

你输入一个问题,却永远没法保证下次得到同样的结果。

You put in a query and you don't really know you never know if you're gonna get the same output twice or whatever.

Speaker 5

而且很多时候,你根本不知道它是怎么得出这个答案的,模型自己也说不清楚。

And I'm curious, like, for one, you don't know how it arrived often and models can't explain themselves.

Speaker 5

这对金融行业来说是个问题,因为金融讲究可解释性,结果出来却说不清原因,这让人很不安。

And this is an issue for finance, which is they're often not explicable why the output came out.

Speaker 5

更麻烦的是,你每次得到的答案还不一样。

But then there's this other element of you're not gonna get the same thing twice.

Speaker 5

我想知道,从技术发展的历史来看,这种不确定性会不会让金融行业感到焦虑。

And I'm curious, like, when you think about how that fits into the history of technology, whether that is a source of anxiety for finance.

Speaker 5

在很多情况下,你得能展示出你的推理过程;而传统软件呢,你写一行代码,只要没bug,它一千次运行结果都一模一样。

You need to be able to show your work often in many cases, or you need to be able to traditional software, you write a line of code and as long as there's no bug, it'll produce the same result a thousand times in a row.

Speaker 5

这算是新现象吗?

Is this new?

Speaker 5

这会不会成为一个棘手的矛盾,需要找办法应对?

Is this something that is gonna be a difficult tension and workaround?

Speaker 6

毫无疑问。

No question.

Speaker 6

绝对毫无疑问。

Absolutely no question.

Speaker 6

打个比方说吧。

And just to give an analogy

Speaker 5

明白。

Okay.

Speaker 6

我敢肯定,这些年不知有多少人坐在这儿说过:买X吧,X是几年前的事了,到时候自动驾驶汽车一定会普及。

I am sure there have been many, many, many people who sat in this seat through the years and said, Buy X, X being years ago, there will be self driving cars.

Speaker 6

你就不需要驾照了,诸如此类的事情。

You won't need driver's licenses, and so on and so forth.

Speaker 6

是的。

Yeah.

Speaker 6

人们对计算机出错的容忍度,和对人类出错的容忍度,完全是两回事。

I think the tolerance people have for computers to make mistakes is very different than the tolerance people have for humans to make mistakes.

Speaker 6

这只是一个社会层面的起点。

So that's just a societal starting point.

Speaker 6

从实际角度来看,我觉得完全可以提出一个连贯的论点。

For all intents and purposes, I think you could make a cohesive argument.

Speaker 6

我超爱漫威电影。

I love Marvel movies.

Speaker 6

我们全家都觉得,就像外星科技突然出现在地球上,我们现在正努力搞明白怎么用它。

As a family, that's This one of our is like alien technology has been found on the planet Earth, and now we're figuring out how to use it.

Speaker 6

这种技术有一件特别的地方,而且我知道,听你这么说,你已经试过很多编程工具了。

And one of the remarkable things about the technology, even if and I know from listening to you, you've played with a lot of the coding tools.

Speaker 6

你看看这些编程工具,它们会写代码,然后代码里就会出bug。

If you look at the coding tools, they write code, and then there are bugs in the code.

Speaker 6

接着它们发现bug,再把bug修复。

And then they find the bugs, and they fix the bugs.

Speaker 6

所以我们一直以来对电脑的期待就是:这怎么可能发生?

So, like, the way we've been trained to think about a computer is how could that happen?

Speaker 6

它难道不该聪明到能直接写出没有bug的代码吗?

Wouldn't it be smart enough to write the code without the bugs?

Speaker 4

没错。

Right.

Speaker 4

我干嘛还得提醒它去修正自己?

Like, why do I have to prompt it to fix itself?

Speaker 6

因为它更像一个人。

Because it's much more like a person.

Speaker 6

它更侧重于思考,而不是那种非黑即白的零和一结构。

It's much more about thinking than this binary zero and one structure

Speaker 5

是的。

Yeah.

Speaker 6

我们一直以来对计算机的这种认知。

That we've become used to for computers.

Speaker 6

如果你花时间接触那些大型科技公司、顶尖AI公司或者前沿模型提供方,你会发现他们经常用‘受监管行业’这个词。

And I think one of the remarkable, if you spend time with any of the big technology firms, the big AI companies, the frontier model providers, they use this term regulated industries.

Speaker 6

不用说,像金融服务这样的受监管行业,我们必须确保有适当的过程和控制机制。

And needless to say, regulated industries like financial services, we need to be certain that we have the appropriate processes and controls in place.

Speaker 6

从一个角度看,这确实是个很大的障碍。

So, through one lens, that's a big friction.

Speaker 6

但从另一个角度看,我认为这反而是行业的竞争优势,因为你想想,我们本来就有一整套严密的控制体系。

Through another lens, I think it's actually a competitive advantage to the industry, because if you think about it, we have so many controls.

Speaker 6

这些控制措施早已融入我们的日常工作流程中。

We have so many controls as a natural part of the process.

Speaker 6

比如,黑石集团在技术刚一可用的时候,我们就制定了一条规则,叫‘初稿原则’。

So, for example, one of the first things we did within BlackRock, when the technology became available, we created this rule that we call this principle that we call the first draft principle.

Speaker 6

为什么我们不能让AI来生成所有产出的初稿呢?

Why can't we have a first draft of everything we produce be created through AI?

Speaker 6

不管是给客户的演示文稿、内部文件,还是招股说明书,都可以用AI先出个初稿。

Whether it be a client presentation, an internal document, a prospectus.

Speaker 6

你特意强调‘初稿’是有原因的,因为我们有16个人专门负责审核每一份初稿。

And the reason why you're very deliberate about saying first draft is because we have 16 people who check the first draft.

Speaker 6

这种做法作为起点,能有效推动我们去熟悉和利用这项技术。

And that ability, as a starting point, is a very sort of strong catalyst towards leveraging and getting to know the technology.

Speaker 6

但我觉得,如今这项技术已经显著提升了个人的工作效率。

But I would actually argue that today, the technology has provided a lot of people like individual productivity.

Speaker 6

不过从企业层面来看,看看那些案例研究,我还不确定我们是否真的进入了企业级应用的第一阶段。

But at an enterprise level, if you look at the case studies, it's not clear to me we've entered the first inning of the actual enterprise implementation.

Speaker 6

我觉得现在还只是在奏国歌的阶段。

I still think the national anthem is sort of being played.

Speaker 5

对。

Mhmm.

Speaker 6

我觉得,模型能做的事情和实际需要落地实施之间还存在很大差距,这需要组织架构的调整和业务流程的重构。

And I think that the actual overhang between what the models can do and the fact that this is technology that needs to be implemented, it requires organizational design, business process reengineering.

Speaker 6

说到底,技术落地本身就很难,还得花时间,而我们连企业级的实施都还没真正开始。

Like, implementing technology is hard and takes time, and we haven't even started that enterprise implementation yet.

Speaker 4

你能再详细说说,这在Aladdin系统里是怎么体现的吗?

Can you talk a little bit more about this in the context of Aladdin?

Speaker 4

我觉得乔所担心的是,这些模型越来越复杂,也越来越难预测了。

Because I think part of the concern here that Joe was getting at is that you have these models that are getting more complex and more difficult to predict.

Speaker 4

我们根本不知道它们会输出什么结果。

We don't know what they're gonna spit out.

Speaker 4

就像乔说的,它们是非确定性的。

They're nondeterministic, as Joe said.

Speaker 4

与此同时,你们的风险管理技术多年来一直被称作‘黑箱’,我猜你对这个问题有自己的看法。

And meanwhile, you have this risk management technology that has already, for years, been described as a black box, and I'm sure you have opinions on that particular

Speaker 5

是的。

Yes.

Speaker 4

标签。

Label.

Speaker 4

但如果它变得更复杂,人们真能完全理解它在做什么吗?

But if it gets more sophisticated, are people going to fully understand what it's actually doing?

Speaker 6

让我先说明一点,我们从来没把它叫做黑箱。

Well, let me start out by saying we haven't described it as a black box.

Speaker 6

没错。

No.

Speaker 6

不是你。

Not you.

Speaker 6

不过我们稍后会再回到这个问题。

So we'll we'll come back we'll come back to that in a minute.

Speaker 6

但重要的是,人工智能作为一种技术并不新鲜。

But importantly, AI as a technology is not new.

Speaker 6

要是我知道确切年份就好了,不过麻省理工的AI实验室早在20世纪50年代就成立了。

I wish I knew the exact year, but like, the AI lab at MIT was created in the 1950s.

Speaker 6

我们的AI实验室是2018年成立的。

We started our AI lab in 2018.

Speaker 6

所以这些方法早就被用开了。

So these methods have been used for a long time.

Speaker 6

从最基础的角度来说——虽然这么说可能得罪不少人——以前的AI主要处理的是数字。

At a very sort of simple level that I'm sure would offend a lot of people, you could think about old AI was about numbers.

Speaker 6

现在的AI关注的是语言。

New AI is about language.

Speaker 6

而语言这个特性,让AI触及了人类交流中远比数字更核心的部分,也因此带来了一大堆意想不到的后果。

And the language element of it creates all sorts of humans communicate much more through language than numbers, so it creates a whole host of other unintended consequences.

Speaker 6

但当你把Aladdin这样的平台当作企业级工具来看时,顺便说一句,我完全可以系统地论证这一点。

But when you look at a platform like Aladdin as an enterprise platform, and by the way, I would make a cohesive argument.

Speaker 6

我说的这些,用在彭博终端上也完全成立。

Everything I'm saying, you could make the same case with regard to the Bloomberg terminal.

Speaker 4

我就知道这话题迟早会冒出来。

I knew I knew this was gonna come up in this conversation.

Speaker 4

这话说得在理。

But fair point.

Speaker 4

没错。

Point.

Speaker 6

如果你想想这些技术,首先,表现好得到的回报就是更多的工作。

So if you think about these technologies, first, the reward for good work is more work.

Speaker 6

这些技术的任务清单是无穷无尽的。

So the to do list for these technologies is infinite.

Speaker 6

真的是无穷无尽。

Like, genuinely infinite.

Speaker 6

每年,贝莱德都要增加更多工程师。

Every year, BlackRock winds up having more engineers.

Speaker 6

我们目前大约有五千名工程师、数据分析师和建模人员。

We have roughly 5,000 engineers, data analysts, modelers.

Speaker 6

每年我们都要招更多工程师,每年Aladdin上能做的优化和升级也越来越多。

Every year, we wind up having more engineers, and every year, we wind up having a bigger to do list of enhancements we could put within Aladdin.

Speaker 6

AI能力的第一个方面,也是目前企业级最成熟的运用场景,就是编程。

So the first element of the AI capability, and I would argue the most mature use case that exists at an enterprise level, is coding.

Speaker 6

所以,处理这份待办清单的速度快得惊人。

So the ability to go through that to do list, the velocity of that, is off the charts.

Speaker 6

第二个方面,这也是企业级专家系统的一个难题:我经常在客户会议上被问,为什么Aladdin不支持这个功能?

The second component, and this is one of the challenges of these enterprise expert systems, is that the number of times I've been in a meeting with a client where they say, you know, why doesn't Aladdin do this?

Speaker 6

我心想,Aladdin其实早就支持了。

And I'm like, I think Aladdin does that.

Speaker 6

但我又不想直接脱口而出。

But let me I don't want to, like, blurt it out.

Speaker 6

我会先记下来,会后去问问更懂行的人,结果他们总会说:‘这功能Aladdin七年前就有了。’

Let me sort of follow-up, and then I'll leave the meeting, I'll call the people smarter than me, and they'll be like, Aladdin's done that for seven years.

Speaker 6

你会发现,要跟上技术的更新真的很难。

And you're like, Okay, the ability for people to keep current in technology is very hard.

Speaker 6

虽然我们很喜欢这些技术,但大多数人用技术,只是为了能顺利干活,然后早点回家。

And, you know, as much as we like the technology, most people, their goal with technology is to just interface with it to do their jobs, and then, like, go home.

Speaker 6

现在,只要输入你想要它做什么,就能取代那种需要大量专业知识并不断更新的专家系统,智能代理将成为Aladdin的实时使用者,所有现有的控制机制都会保留。

So the ability to take an expert system that today requires a lot of knowledge and keeping up with it, and instead just type in what you want it to do, and an agent will be the ultimate real time user of Aladdin that will then do those All the same controls will exist.

Speaker 6

四眼原则,所有这些管控措施都会继续存在。

The Four Eyes principle, all of those controls will exist.

Speaker 6

但让用户和客户接触到那些他们目前根本不知道的、尚未被利用的功能,我认为,未来Aladdin和其他企业级技术所能创造的价值,将远超以往任何时期。

But that ability to have users, to have clients access all the untapped capabilities that today they don't know about, I think the value enterprise technology is gonna provide going forward, Aladdin and other enterprise technology, is actually gonna be much greater than at any point previously.

Speaker 6

这真的让我特别兴奋,因为没有什么比在会议上被人抱怨‘你这功能怎么没有’,而实际上你早就有了,更让人沮丧的了。

It's actually it's extremely exciting to me, because there's nothing more frustrating than being in a meeting where someone is complaining you don't do something when you actually do it.

Speaker 6

这肯定是企业软件的普遍现象。

This must be a thing for a

Speaker 5

企业软件都这样。

bunch of enterprise software.

Speaker 5

对吧?

Right?

Speaker 5

我们接触过的所有软件从业者,没人能把所有功能都用上,也没人会用全所有特性。

Because no one we've talked to other software people, and no one uses all the specs, and no one uses all the features.

Speaker 5

没人能掌握所有功能之类的。

No one knows all the features, etcetera.

Speaker 5

你刚才提到一点,这可是我特别在意的一个话题。

But you said something, and it is something that's kinda one of my hobby horses.

Speaker 5

如果使用Aladdin的是智能代理,而不是终端用户,这会不会改变你对用户体验的看法?

If it's the agent that's using Aladdin rather than the sort of end human, does that change how you think about UX?

Speaker 6

这是个好问题。

It's a great question.

Speaker 6

我们经常讨论这个,我跟你说说我昨天看到的一件事。

We debate this a lot, and I'll tell you about something I saw yesterday.

Speaker 6

但我认为确实得改。

But I think it has to.

Speaker 6

但同时,也肯定有人想自己动手操作。

But at the same time, I think there will be people who will wanna do it themselves.

Speaker 5

明白了。

Okay.

Speaker 6

还是会有人希望亲自操作。

I think there will be people who wanna do it themselves.

Speaker 6

你知道吗,这挺有意思的。

You know, it's interesting.

Speaker 6

即使在现在这个年代,也是这样。

Even in this age Yeah.

Speaker 6

就算所有东西都集中在手机上,依然如此。

Of everything being on the phone Yeah.

Speaker 6

你还是需要一个能让人们访问的网站。

You still need a website that people could access.

Speaker 5

当然。

Sure.

Speaker 6

对。

Yeah.

Speaker 6

所以,我觉得还是会有不少人希望亲自操作。

So so I think there there still will be people who wanna do it themselves.

Speaker 6

昨天我看了一个AI公司推出的工具演示,希望我能表达清楚——它能自动分析一个网站,还展示了它如何分析我们的网站,并重新设计得更符合用户体验。

I saw a demo yesterday of a tool from one of these AI companies that, I hope I could articulate it well enough, but it will look at a website, and it showed it looked at one of our websites and redesigned it to be more, like, optimal user friendliness.

Speaker 6

这其实和你刚才说的完全相反,它是用AI来做你提到的事情的反面。

So it was the opposite of, it was using AI to almost do the opposite of what you said.

Speaker 6

它让网站变得更简单易用。这个演示里有个情况是,因为网站都是公开的,所以他们能用我们的内容做些我们自己都不知道的事。

Make it make it easier And for it was one of these things where, you know, in the demo because websites are public, so they were able to do things with our own stuff that we didn't know about.

Speaker 6

当他们展示AI在十分钟处理后会怎么改造我们的网站时,你会意识到,再过几个月,或许一两年,这类工具就会彻底重塑全球每一个网站,让它们全都变得更友好。

And as they're showing what they would do, and when I say they, what a computer would do after ten minutes of processing with their own website, you're like, In x months or maybe a year or two, tools like this will reengineer every website on the planet Earth, and they will all be more user friendly.

Speaker 4

对我们来说,希望这些工具别影响到我们的主播。

For for us, hopefully, not the agents.

Speaker 1

你可以随时通过Bloomberg News Now获取新闻。

You can get the news whenever you want it with Bloomberg News Now.

Speaker 4

你能再多讲讲阿拉丁的竞争优势吗?

Can you talk a little bit more about the moat around Aladdin?

Speaker 4

当然可以。

Sure.

Speaker 4

这现在也是大家热议的话题之一,就是所谓的‘SaaS末日’论,再加上现在人人都在搞‘氛围编程’,觉得随便就能自己搭个投资组合、做风险管控。

Because this is the other big talking point of the moment, which is the SaaSp ocalypse idea, and in the age of vibe coding, everyone is just gonna go out and design their own portfolio Let risk management

Speaker 6

让我先说几句。

me start out.

Speaker 6

我先大致讲讲我们对未来的看法,或者我们一群人共同的判断,然后再具体谈阿拉丁,因为这两者其实是有关联的。

Let me provide a little context broadly about what we think is gonna happen, or what a group of us think are gonna happen, and then let me go into Aladdin, because I think that they're somewhat related.

Speaker 6

我们的其中一位投资组合经理,也是技术领域的,叫金东宇。

So, one of our portfolio managers, one of our technology portfolio managers is a gentleman, Tony Kim.

Speaker 6

一年前、两年前,我问托尼:如果现在世界上有100行代码,到2030年会是多少?

And a year ago, two years ago, I said, Tony, if today there are 100 lines of code in the world, in 2030, how many are there?

Speaker 6

他说:一百万。

And he said, A million.

Speaker 6

我当时心想:你疯了吧。

And I was like, You're out of your mind.

Speaker 6

他连着说:不是,不是,不是。

And he said, No, no, no.

Speaker 6

我是认真考虑过这个问题的。

Like, I was quite thoughtful about that.

Speaker 6

我不是随便编了个数字。

I didn't make up a number.

Speaker 4

十倍,而且我们都看到乔写了多少代码了。

10 times And we've all seen how much Joe is coding.

Speaker 6

但这一点很重要,因为十倍、十倍、十倍、十倍、十倍——如果你相信它会成倍增长,那你觉得是三倍吗?

Well, but this is an important dimension, because 10 times 10 times 10 times 10 times 10 so if you believe, which, you know, it's gonna be a multiple, you could argue, is it three?

Speaker 6

是七倍吗?

Is it seven?

Speaker 6

是十倍吗?

Is it 10?

Speaker 6

是十四倍吗?

Is it 14?

Speaker 6

但有了这些工具,代码量每年都会成倍增长。

But it's going to go up every year by a multiple given these tools.

Speaker 6

所以全球的代码总量将会大幅增加。

So the amount of code in the world is going to go up dramatically.

Speaker 6

我觉得像阿拉丁这样的平台,在很多方面都像彭博社一样,是整个生态系统的中心。

And I think that when you look at a platform like Aladdin, and in many regards, I think it would be like things with Bloomberg, they're at centers of an ecosystem.

Speaker 6

这个生态系统受到严格监管。

The ecosystem is highly regulated.

Speaker 6

这个生态系统对任何故障或错误都零容忍。

The ecosystem has zero tolerance for fault or error.

Speaker 6

你所使用的流程不仅依赖大量专有数据,这些数据并不在模型内部,也无法被模型访问;更重要的是,客户把他们最敏感的数据都交给了这些平台。

The processes you do not only leverage tremendous amounts of proprietary data, so it's not within these models or accessible by the models, But importantly, clients are putting their most sensitive data into these platforms.

Speaker 6

而你在工作流程上的做法极其独特,必须把人员、流程和技术三者结合起来才行。

And then what you're doing in terms of workflow is highly, highly, highly idiosyncratic, and requires this combination of people, process, and technology.

Speaker 6

在我看来,现在这个年代,要预测2050年会是什么样子,真的很难。

So it's a hard time in this world, in my opinion, to predict what 2050 looks like.

Speaker 6

但如果你放眼未来十年,我们这个行业里的这些平台,只会发挥越来越大的作用,而不是越来越小。

But when you look forward ten years in our industry, these platforms, if anything, are gonna do more, not less.

Speaker 6

真正会被释放出来的,是像乔这样的用户,他们会用自己的编程工具来访问这些平台,而这些编程工具本身也会成为平台的核心。

And I think what really is going to be unlocked is that users like Joe are going to access these platforms through their own coding tools, but these coding tools are going to be central to those platforms.

Speaker 6

我没忘记你提到的黑箱问题。

I didn't forget your black box comment.

Speaker 6

我们回头再说那句‘永远不会忘记’。

Going back to We'll never forget.

Speaker 6

不对,是说回刚才。

Going going back no.

Speaker 6

我觉得

I think

Speaker 4

没错。

it's Yeah.

Speaker 4

我是在引用别人的话。

I'm quoting other people.

Speaker 6

是的。

Yeah.

Speaker 6

不是。

No.

Speaker 6

我觉得这一点很重要,十年前、二十年前,某些技术的设计初衷是封闭系统。

I I think it's important, and I think that technology, ten or twenty years ago, certain technologies were designed to be closed systems.

Speaker 6

明白。

Okay.

Speaker 6

你知道我想说什么。

You know where I'm going.

Speaker 6

这些技术当初设计时就是封闭系统的。

Technologies were designed to be closed systems.

Speaker 6

Aladdin 就是其中之一。

Aladdin was one of those technologies.

Speaker 6

大约十年前,我们就启动了这个开放 Aladdin 的计划,比现在这波 AI 潮流早得多,核心理念是:未来的技术,有些人会用键盘和鼠标来操作,但更多人会直接通过编程来交互。

And roughly ten years ago, we started this open Aladdin campaign well before anything to do with this round of AI we're in, which was all about the future of technology is going to be some people are going to want to interact with it through a keyboard and a mouse, and many people are gonna wanna interact with it through code.

Speaker 6

明白了。

Okay.

Speaker 6

哪怕你学的是英语专业,现在大多数学校毕业时,你也上过编程课。

Because even if you're graduating with an English major, if you're graduating at most schools at this point, you've taken a coding class.

Speaker 6

所以你进来的技术基础,已经完全不一样了。

So just the amount of technical expertise that you come in Yeah.

Speaker 6

这是个全新的层次。

Is a whole different level.

Speaker 5

所以这其实就是开放了更多的 API 接口。

So this is, like, opening up more, like, API endpoints Yeah.

展开剩余字幕(还有 388 条)
Speaker 5

还有类似这样的方式,而不是像开源那样。

And things like that as opposed to, say, like, open source.

Speaker 5

就是那个‘开放’的意思。

Like, the open in the yeah.

Speaker 6

是在封闭系统内部的开放。

Oh, open within a closed ecosystem.

Speaker 6

这一点非常关键,因为在一个封闭系统里做到开放,有些事情事后看来显而易见,但我们当时真的震惊了。

And that is a critical element because open within a closed ecosystem, one of the things and it's, like, obvious after the fact, but one of the things that we realized, like, oh my god.

Speaker 6

这太棒了,价值巨大——比如当你调用Aladdin的API时,你的权限设置会自动生效。

This is amazing, and it's so valuable, is that when you call our APIs, for example, in Aladdin, your permissions go through.

Speaker 6

想想看,在一个拥有成千上万用户的资产管理平台里管理权限有多复杂。

So if you think about the complexity of managing permissions in a asset manager with thousands of people Yeah.

Speaker 6

你能看到某些投资组合。

You could see some portfolios.

Speaker 6

你能看到某些投资组合。

You could see some portfolios.

Speaker 6

这些是不同的投资组合。

They're different portfolios.

Speaker 6

你可以进行交易。

You could trade.

Speaker 6

你没有权限交易。

You're not allowed to trade.

Speaker 6

你只能确认交易。

You could only confirm trades.

Speaker 6

这些权限的复杂性就在于,当你调用API时,系统能自动判断你能访问哪些内容、不能访问哪些内容。

The complexity of those permissions so the fact that when you call an API, it knows what you can and can access.

Speaker 6

对。

Yeah.

Speaker 6

整个控制层和这一整套机制,价值巨大。

That whole control plane and layer is an incredible value proposition.

Speaker 6

越是有人编写代码,越是有人以更技术化的方式与系统互动,这套控制机制就越显重要。

And the more you have people coding and the more you have people interacting with systems in more technical ways, the more valuable those control planes actually wind up being.

Speaker 5

那另一面会怎么样?

What happens to the flip side?

Speaker 5

明白了。

Okay.

Speaker 5

你刚才提到一些核心基础设施,比如受监管的系统、专有数据等等。

You've described some core pieces of infrastructure that the regulated, there's proprietary data, etcetera.

Speaker 5

客户把他们最敏感的信息都交给了这些平台。

Clients are putting their most sensitive info in the world.

Speaker 5

你的看法是,这些平台的价值会越来越大。

And your view is that the value of those platforms will grow.

Speaker 5

有没有那种不属于这类的软件?

Are there is there software that's not that?

Speaker 5

还是说根本就不存在其他选择?

Or is that are there zeros?

Speaker 5

当然了。

Absolutely.

Speaker 6

没有。

No.

Speaker 6

当然。

Absolutely.

Speaker 6

当然。

Absolutely.

Speaker 6

有什么?

There there's There's what?

Speaker 6

首先,这些东西的生命周期都很长。

Well, first of all, sort of, these things have long tails.

Speaker 5

好的。

Okay.

Speaker 6

所以,真正把一个系统停用掉,这事儿可不简单。

So, like, actually going through the process of retiring a system Yeah.

Speaker 6

不管是什么系统,这都得花不少功夫。

Is a lot of work, no matter what the system is.

Speaker 6

所以这些技术的影响期都很长。

So there are long tails.

Speaker 6

但有些技术我们大家都离不开,用得特别多。

But there are certain technologies that are really and we all use them.

Speaker 6

有一些技术专门收集公开信息,让你轻松获取。

There are certain technologies that are about collating public information and making it easy for you to access.

Speaker 6

我觉得可以说,现有的AI工具就是最强大的智囊,能扫描所有公开资源,按你最习惯的方式把信息呈现给你。

And I think it's fair to say that the AI tools that exist are the ultimate oracles in being able to do that, in being able to scour all public sources and give you back information in the way that you're most comfortable with.

Speaker 6

尤其是SaaSpocalypse里那种便利性层的产品,它们没有独家数据,也不深入你的工作流程,纯粹是提升便利性的工具。

So particularly that segment of SaaSpocalypse, which is that, like, convenience layer, they don't really have proprietary data, they're not really in the workflow, They're a convenience technology.

Speaker 6

我觉得这些便利型技术

I think those convenience technologies

Speaker 5

它们现在处境不妙。

They're in trouble.

Speaker 6

它们肯定得重新思考自己的价值主张了。

They're certainly going to be looking for ways of reimagining their value proposition.

Speaker 4

我们邀请你来参加这个播客,其中一个原因就是你既是AI产品的提供方——比如Aladdin,同时也是自己公司里积极使用AI的用户。

Well, one of the reasons we wanted to have you on the podcast is because you are both a provider of AI, viz Aladdin, and also a user of AI at your own company.

Speaker 4

我们也都听过不少高管和经理谈论AI如何提升效率,

And we've all seen various executives and managers talk about AI as a productivity enhancing tool.

Speaker 4

但他们说的往往都比较笼统。

And they tend to talk about it in very general terms.

Speaker 4

所以我特别想听听你个人的看法,BlackRock这边的效率提升具体体现在哪些地方?

So I would be curious to hear from your perspective exactly what a productivity enhancement at BlackRock actually looks like.

Speaker 6

我给你讲个上周五发生的真实例子吧,

I I will give you a productivity enhancement from Friday Right?

Speaker 6

顺便说一句,我描述的这种场景,我觉得未来 everywhere 都会是这样。

Of last week because and by the way, what I'm describing, I think, is the future everywhere.

Speaker 6

我希望BlackRock能比别人更快地抵达那个未来,但我相信那就是未来。

I hope BlackRock gets to that future faster than others, but I believe it's the future.

Speaker 6

我们一直在做大量工作,全方位地升级Aladdin。

So we have been doing a lot of work, enhancing Aladdin in many ways.

Speaker 6

我们其中一个重点是,如何让私募市场的透明度更接近公开市场,从而更好地管理整个投资组合。

And one of the big themes that we have is how do we provide more transparency in the private markets to be as close as possible to the public markets in pursuit of this whole portfolio?

Speaker 6

为此,我们已经持续开展了一项大规模的计划,时间很长了。

So we have a large program of work that's been going on for quite some time.

Speaker 6

所以我每个周五都会花好几个小时,来看我们正在做的那些成果演示。

So I try to spend hours every Friday getting demos of things we're working on.

Speaker 6

上个周五下午的演示,正好契合我刚才说的这个方向,展示了一个特别棒的工具。

So my Friday afternoon demo, along the theme that I just described, was a demo of a tool that was awesome.

Speaker 6

不过让我先说说这个工具是怎么做出来的。

But let me go through how it was created.

Speaker 6

这是我第一次看到有人从头到尾完整地做出这样的东西。

And this was the first time end to end that at least I've been shown this.

Speaker 6

有一群人——包括投资经理、风控专家、工程师和产品经理——聚在一起,讨论了几个小时,琢磨这个功能该怎么设计。

So a group of people that included portfolio managers, risk professionals, engineers, product managers, a group of people sat in a room for multiple hours talking about how this capability should work.

Speaker 6

整个讨论过程都被录了下来。

That discussion was recorded.

Speaker 6

那次讨论通过录音,形成了一份功能文档。

That discussion, through the recording of it, created a functional document.

Speaker 6

这份功能文档只做了一些轻微调整。

That functional document was lightly tweaked.

Speaker 6

接着,这份文档被输入到我们常用的AI编程工具中。

That functional document was then put in some of the AI coding tools that we use.

Speaker 6

通过这些AI工具,文档直接生成了一个原型。

That document through the AI coding tools led to a prototype.

Speaker 6

刚才我们说的整个调试过程,你都亲身经历了。

There was a debugging process that you lived through that we just described.

Speaker 6

到了周五,你知道的,我这三十多年里见过的原型太多了。

And on Friday, you know, I've seen a lot of prototypes before in my sort of thirty two years.

Speaker 4

我能想象。

Can imagine.

Speaker 6

所以我清楚,在看到这种原型时,该问哪些问题——它就像个空壳子。

So I I know the questions to ask where you see the prototype is, like, a thin shell.

Speaker 6

是的

Yeah.

Speaker 6

但只要你不断施压,外壳就会裂开。

But if you press enough, the shell cracks.

Speaker 6

这根本不是什么原型。

Like, this wasn't like a prototype.

Speaker 6

这可是真家伙。

This was like the real deal.

Speaker 6

当你回头看这个流程,我们实际上把原本需要以月为单位的时间压缩了。

And when you look at that cycle, we effectively collapsed what would have taken the unit of measurement would have been months.

Speaker 6

现在,时间单位变成了天。

Now the unit of measurement was days.

Speaker 6

它还是会走完我们的软件开发生命周期。

Now it will still go through our software development life cycle.

Speaker 6

它会经过测试。

It will be tested.

Speaker 6

所有这些因素。

All of those things.

Speaker 6

但当你把它看作一个提升效率的工具时,这就回到了每年全球代码行数增长十倍的问题上。

But when you look at that as a productivity tool, this goes back to the 10x ing the amount of lines of code in the world every year.

Speaker 6

工程能力将迎来一场爆发式的增长。

There's just gonna be an explosion in the ability to engineer things.

Speaker 4

我现在在想,如果这个编程工具看到这样的会议录音,它会不会根据与会者的职位和重要性来加权处理?

Now I'm wondering if the coding tool, when it sees a transcript of a meeting like that, do you think it weights the participants by, like, title and level of importance?

Speaker 4

不会。

No.

Speaker 4

我是认真的在问这个问题。

This is a real question.

Speaker 5

它很可能就是这样做的。

It probably does.

Speaker 5

要是不这么做,反而奇怪了。

It would be weird if it didn't.

Speaker 5

对吧?

Right?

Speaker 6

挺有意思的。

It's interesting.

Speaker 6

我感觉它不会。

My intuition is it doesn't.

Speaker 6

我觉得这反而能很好地反映出谁发言最多,或者谁的想法最到位。

My intuition is this would be a great exercise in those who talk most or probably most reflective.

Speaker 5

我听说有一家公司专门做第三方咨询,帮企业实施软件系统。

I heard about a company that's doing third party consulting for helping companies implement software.

Speaker 5

他们的一项做法是,跟客户开Zoom会议,摄像头对准他们用的白板。

And one of the things that they're doing is they get on a Zoom with the client, and they have a camera trained on the whiteboard that they're working on.

Speaker 5

这段视频也会一起上传,因为白板本来就是软件开发的通用语言。

And that video file also is part of so in addition to the audio, because, you know, whiteboards are the lingua franca of software development.

Speaker 5

所以系统能完整看到整个工作流程。

So that also gets uploaded to it, and so that it, like, sees that whole workflow and stuff.

Speaker 5

这事儿真够离谱的。

It's pretty it's pretty wild stuff.

Speaker 5

我很好奇。

I'm curious.

Speaker 5

最近关于令牌费用的新闻很多,都说推理成本高得吓人。

Tokens, there's been a lot of headlines lately about token sticker shock about, oh, we are spending a lot on inference.

Speaker 5

我想知道,今年黑石的令牌消耗量跟去年比有什么变化?

I'm curious if you could tell us anything about token consumption this year versus last year at BlackRock.

Speaker 5

另外,我们还注意到一件事,跟这个密切相关——以前总被当成理论问题的算力瓶颈,现在真开始影响到像Anthropic这样的用户了。

But, also, like, one of the things that we're also seeing, and it's very it's related to this, is, like, the compute constraints that have long been talked about as theoretical are starting to actually bite people who are sort of, like, anthropic users or, like, whatever.

Speaker 5

你能聊聊令牌消耗的情况吗?从你的角度看,算力限制是真实存在的吗?

Like, could you talk a little bit about token consumption, and is the compute constraint real from your perspective?

Speaker 5

如果你能打个响指,多接入十万张GPU,现在会有多大帮助?

If you could snap your fingers and get a 100,000 more plugged in GPUs, would that be a big a big help right now?

Speaker 6

我觉得你得先回过头去看看过去一段时间的情况。

Well, I think that you have to sort of go back in time a little bit.

Speaker 6

我经历过的最重要的一课是,我记得一位早期的合伙伙伴,查理·哈洛克先生,可惜他已经去世了。他教会了我很多事,其中一点是:如果你给了优秀的建模师和工程师充分的自由,他们凭着对算力无止境的需求,迟早能把公司拖垮。

So one of the key, key, key lessons learned that I've experienced, and I remember one of the near founding partners, a gentleman, Charlie Hallock, who unfortunately passed away, what he instilled in me, among many other things, was if you have the right modelers and engineers and you leave them unconstrained, they will bankrupt the company in terms of their insatiable appetite for compute.

Speaker 6

过去,限制你的是一间实体数据中心。

In the old days, you had a physical data center that was the constraint.

Speaker 6

你得提前订购硬件设备。

You would have to order hardware.

Speaker 6

有时候,大家会说:我们的数据中心快撑不住了。

At some point, people would say, We're outgrowing our data center.

Speaker 6

那时候,我们通常会说:先等等看,一年后再决定。

You'd say, Let's wait a year and see what happens.

Speaker 6

而今天,资源的弹性已经完全不一样了。

So in today's world, the elasticity is obviously very different.

Speaker 6

但从根本上说,黑石内部有一群人——我相信任何顶尖的金融服务公司都一样——如果你不限制他们的算力使用,二十年前他们会拖垮公司,十年前也会,现在更会。

But as a starting point, there are a group of people within BlackRock, and I think this is true in any sort of great financial services company, that if you leave them unconstrained from a compute power perspective, twenty years ago, they would have bankrupted the company, ten years ago, and today, they they will.

Speaker 6

所以关键问题是:你该怎么决定把资源投在哪里?

So part of it is how do you think about where to invest?

Speaker 6

是的

Yeah.

Speaker 6

我一时说不上来我们现在的token消耗量是去年的多少倍,但肯定是好几倍。

I don't know offhand the number of tokens we're consuming today relative to a year, but it's multiples.

Speaker 6

高出好几倍。

It's multiples higher.

Speaker 6

我觉得,无论是对公司还是整个行业来说,我们还处在早期阶段,真正的游戏根本还没开始。

And I think that we're still at a point, again, as a company, but also at a broad industry level, where I don't really think the game has started yet.

Speaker 6

所以没人真能说清楚未来的token消耗会达到什么水平。

So I don't think anyone really knows what the token consumption is gonna be.

Speaker 6

同样重要的是,也没人真正开始优化自己的token使用了。

And equally as important, I don't think anyone has really started optimizing their token consumption.

Speaker 4

有人该搞个专门提升token效率的Aladdin系统。

You know what someone needs to do is build an Aladdin for token efficiency.

Speaker 6

可以肯定的是,这样的系统一定会出现。其实,我们AI实验室的负责人斯蒂芬·博伊德,我在这事刚起步时就找过他,问他:我们到底漏掉了什么?

It is a certainty that not only will that exist, but one of the gentlemen who the person who actually leads our AI lab, a gentleman, Stephen Boyd, I had called him in the early days of this happening, and I'm like, What are we missing?

Speaker 6

斯蒂芬,你帮我理清楚,我们到底漏了什么。

Like, Stephen, help me understand what are we missing.

Speaker 6

他提了两点,他是斯坦福的工程学教授。

He said two things, and he is a professor of engineering at Stanford.

Speaker 6

他说,你们漏了两点。

He said, You're missing two things.

Speaker 6

第一点是,清晰的语言非常非常有力量。

One is that articulate language is very, very powerful.

Speaker 6

我当时就说,好吧,这到底是什么意思?

And I'm like, Okay, like, what does that mean?

Speaker 6

他说,你好好想想。

And he's like, Think about it.

Speaker 6

我是个教授。

I'm a professor.

Speaker 6

如果我读一篇论文,写得不够好,我就会对所有内容都持怀疑态度。

If I'm reading a paper, and it's not written that well, you check everything.

Speaker 6

如果你读到一篇写得特别好的论文,你就会自然而然地认为它是对的。

And if you're reading a paper that's written really well, you just assume it's right.

Speaker 6

这就是他的第一个观点。

So that was the first point.

Speaker 6

他提到的第二个观点跟这个话题有关,他说:别忘了,现在全球各地都有不少研究生正在研究这些技术最枯燥的方面,比如如何让这些模型更高效。

The second point he had, which relates to this topic, he said, Just remember, there's a bunch of graduate students here and everywhere else that right now are working on, like, the most boring aspects of this too, including how to have these models be more efficient.

Speaker 6

目前,大家的关注点全在追求智能上。

So right now, it's all about the quest for intelligence.

Speaker 6

我觉得接下来,焦点会稍微转向对企业应用场景的探索。

I think we're gonna see it pivot slightly to the quest for enterprise use cases.

Speaker 6

然后,很快就会转向如何更高效地获取和使用这些技术。

And then I think it's gonna pivot very quickly to the quest for efficiency of how you're accessing things.

Speaker 6

我们还没到那一步。

We're not there yet.

Speaker 4

我想快速回一下你之前提到的私募市场的问题,就是关于组合管理这个想法——通过像Aladdin这样的系统,你可以像管理公开市场资产一样管理私募资产,获得更透明的定价信息等等。

I wanna go back to something you said about private markets quickly, which is this whole portfolio management idea, this idea that via a system like Aladdin, you can manage your private assets the same way you would manage your public assets, you get more transparency around pricing and things like that.

Speaker 4

私募市场销售时常常强调的一个点是流动性溢价,意思是由于这些资产不像公开市场资产那样容易交易,所以你能多赚一点。

So part of the sales pitch with private markets has been this idea of an illiquidity premium and the idea that you earn a little bit more because these things are not treated like public market assets.

Speaker 4

但一旦你通过新技术把它们整合进系统,能够更像管理流动性资产那样去管理它们,这种销售话术会不会就站不住脚了?

Once you start to integrate them via new technology into your system, once you start to be able to manage them much more similarly to a more liquid asset, does some of that sales pitch start to go away?

Speaker 6

我觉得这更像是一种努力溢价。

I think of it as an effort premium.

Speaker 6

其中确实有流动性因素,但还有一部分是努力带来的溢价。

There's a liquidity element to it, and then there's like an effort premium.

Speaker 6

如果你得多干活,那理应得到相应的回报。

If you have to do more work, presumably, you need to be compensated for that.

Speaker 6

但我还觉得,这么说起来我都觉得自己老了。

But I also believe that, and I feel so old as I talk like this.

Speaker 6

我才五十二岁,可感觉已经老得不行了。

I'm only 52, but I feel so old.

Speaker 6

听起来可能有点不可思议,但我刚入行的时候,想了解公债信息,连彭博那时候都还不太成熟。

As crazy as it sounds to many people, when I started, the way you would get information about public bonds, because even Bloomberg back then was a bit nascent Yeah.

Speaker 6

你得自己读招股说明书,然后手动把到期日、付息计划、赎回条款这些都打进电脑里。

You would read a prospectus, and you would type into a computer, this is the maturity, this is the syncing schedule, this is the call schedule.

Speaker 6

现在你跟过去二十年才入行的人说这些,他们会觉得你疯了。

Now, today, you say that to people who entered the industry in the past twenty years, and they think you're nuts.

Speaker 6

所以我觉得,技术的发展是挡不住的。

So I think there's no fighting technology.

Speaker 6

这只是我个人的看法。

That's my own opinion.

Speaker 6

所以我觉得,十年后如果说私募市场差不多变得透明了,那确实比以前透明多了。

So I think it is certain that if you say in ten years that the private market's more or less transparent, they're certainly more transparent.

Speaker 6

而且你想一想,你生活中几乎所有事情都在变得越来越透明。

And I think if you think about your life, almost everything in your life is becoming more transparent.

Speaker 6

说起来还挺有意思的。

Like, it's funny.

Speaker 6

我尽量不把科技设备往身上贴,但很少见到三个人聚在一起,却没人戴着实时监测血压的设备。

I don't think any of us I try not to affix technology on my body, but it's very rare that three people would be together where someone doesn't have some device that's monitoring, like, their blood pressure in real time.

Speaker 6

所以,一切都指向越来越透明的趋势。

So, like, everything is pointing towards more transparency.

Speaker 6

我很难相信,随着私募市场投资规模和投资组合不断扩大,最终的资产所有者反而会得到更少的透明度。

I have a hard time believing that as private markets exposures and portfolios grow, the end asset owner is going to wind up with less transparency.

Speaker 6

我觉得这不过是大势所趋。

So I think this is just the direction of travel.

Speaker 6

我相信,随着时间推移,其中一些部分会逐渐标准化,就像当年公债市场和股票市场发生过的变化一样。

I do think over time, components of it will start to become more standardized, very similar to things that happened in the public bond markets and the public equity markets.

Speaker 4

没错。

Right.

Speaker 6

而且还会出现其他方面的创新。

And then there will be new innovations in other ways.

Speaker 6

但我相信,事情会变得透明得多。

But I believe that things will become much more transparent.

Speaker 6

这是必然的。

It's a certainty.

Speaker 5

未来,从投资的角度来看,投资者的竞争优势到底会是什么?

In the future, and this is, I guess, more from just an investment standpoint, but, like, what is the investor's source of edge in the future?

Speaker 5

以前,可能因为你是第一个抓住机会,把太阳微系统这些技术串联起来,就能复制那些工作站,从而获得优势。

At one point, maybe there was a source of edge because you were early to jump on and see the potential of stringing together Sun Microsystems and you could replicate whatever are these workstations.

Speaker 5

对基金经理来说,放眼未来,什么才算真正的竞争优势?

Just looking forward for the portfolio manager, etcetera, what constitutes edge?

Speaker 6

这是个好问题,我觉得在各个行业里,如果把竞争比作跑步机,每个人都得跑得更快。

It's a great question, and and I think across industries, if you think of them as a treadmill, everyone's gonna have to run faster.

Speaker 6

好的。

Okay.

Speaker 6

这一点毫无疑问。

Like, there there's no question that that's that's the case.

Speaker 6

我觉得可以把优势分成三类。

I think the edge you could break up into three categories.

Speaker 6

首先,优势在于帮助客户全面管理投资组合,而不仅仅是单独处理某一部分。你看资产管理行业,一个非常重要的演变趋势就是,这个行业过去是按照自己的结构来组织的,而不是根据客户实际构建投资组合的方式。

First, I think the edge is going to be helping clients with their whole portfolio as And opposed to just I think if you look at the asset management industry, a very significant, I would say, evolution aspect of the asset management industry is that the industry organized itself inconsistent with how clients build portfolios.

Speaker 6

以前有债券团队、股票团队、指数经理、主动管理团队、量化团队、公开市场团队、私募市场团队,然后把这些零散的部分硬塞给客户去自己拼起来。

You had fixed income shops, you had equity shops, you had index managers, you had active managers, you had systematic managers, you had public markets, you had private markets, and then you forced the client to put all this stuff together.

Speaker 6

所以行业接下来会转向更全面的服务,这本身就是一种新的优势。

So the industry is going to pivot more towards helping with the whole thing, which is a different type of edge.

Speaker 6

没错。

Yep.

Speaker 6

我认为,能熟练运用这些工具,本身就是一种竞争优势。

I think that the ability to use these tools is gonna be an edge in and of itself.

Speaker 6

尽管编程会变得更容易,而且相关工具也会多很多。

So notwithstanding coding is gonna be easier, and there will be multiples more.

Speaker 6

但即使开发技术的门槛降低了,构建技术的能力反而会变得更加重要,而不是不重要。

Like, the ability to build technology is gonna become more, not less important, even if the frictions to build technology go down.

Speaker 6

我记得参加一个会议时,有人问我:‘你从大学招人,最想招哪种专业背景的?’

I would argue I was at a conference, and someone asked me, like, Who would you like to hire coming out of university?

Speaker 6

我回答说:‘英语专业的。’

And I said, English majors.

Speaker 6

结果我这话一出,成千上万的人给我发邮件,说他们孩子就是英语专业的,当时我正跟他们说话呢。

And that was a big mistake because then, like, thousands of people emailed me that their child's an English major while I speak to them.

Speaker 6

但我之所以这么说,是因为我真心这么认为——我们现在正处在一个时代,那些能有想象力、又能清晰表达出来的人,实现想法的速度前所未有地快。

But the reason I said English majors, and I believe this, like, we're living through a time where those who could have imagination and articulate it, the ability to implement that has never been as fast.

Speaker 6

没错。

Yeah.

Speaker 6

以前可能要好几年才能做成的事,现在几天就能搞定。

And literally, if it used to be, like, years, now it's like days.

Speaker 6

所以,拥有这些想法的能力,以及把这些想法实现出来的能力,跟以往任何时候都不一样了。

So the ability to have those ideas, the implementability of those ideas is gonna be different than any point.

Speaker 6

因此,创造力和想象力变得尤为重要。

So that creativity and imagination.

Speaker 6

最后,显然这个世界正变得越来越复杂。

And then lastly, obviously, the world is becoming very complicated.

Speaker 5

我有。

I've

Speaker 6

听到了。

heard.

Speaker 6

你正面临国家安全、科技与资本三者之间的碰撞。

You basically have this collision between national security, technology and capital.

Speaker 6

地缘政治正在走向碎片化。

You have this fragmentation of geopolitics.

Speaker 6

全球的人口结构也在发生变化。

You have the changing demographics of the world.

Speaker 6

你还要考虑地球上突然发现的这种外星科技带来的影响。

You have what's happening with this alien technology that's now been found on the planet Earth.

Speaker 6

如果你想想,要有效管理投资组合,必须具备全球联动能力,而地缘政治未来会如何影响这些组合,我认为这不仅需要技术,更需要实地的网络支持。

So if you, like, think about the global connectivity that's required to really manage portfolios and how geopolitics is going to implement within portfolios going forward, I think that requires, like, on the ground networks as much as it requires technology.

Speaker 6

这挺有意思的。

And it's interesting.

Speaker 6

我相信你们也遇到过类似的情况。

I'm sure you guys have had a similar experience.

Speaker 6

我读过那篇论文。

I read the paper.

Speaker 6

我经常看彭博社的报道。

I read Bloomberg.

Speaker 4

谢谢。

Thank you.

Speaker 6

我看了很多东西。

I watch a lot of stuff.

Speaker 6

但其实我上周本来该去海湾地区出差的,结果改成了线上走访。

But when you talk to and I I was actually supposed to be traveling last week in the Gulf Region, and instead, I I did a virtual tour.

Speaker 6

当你跟那里的客户交流时,你会看到和你读到的完全不一样的情况。

When you speak to our clients there, you get a very different picture of what's going on than what you're reading.

Speaker 6

我觉得随着未来的发展,这些实地网络会变得越来越重要。

And I think those networks are going to become more important in terms of edge as we look forward.

Speaker 6

没有任何东西能替代亲临现场。

Nothing will replace being on the ground.

Speaker 4

说到这个,你现在一直在为一些特定岗位持续招聘新人,对吧?

Well, actually, on that note, you're in a position where you're hiring people constantly for very specific roles.

Speaker 4

和四年前相比,你现在面试时用的流程或问题有什么不同吗?

Are the processes or the questions that you're asking people now different in the age of AI versus what they were, like, four years ago?

Speaker 6

这挺有意思的。

It's interesting.

Speaker 6

但愿如此。

I hope so.

Speaker 6

我知道我现在问的问题是什么。

I know the questions I'm asking people are.

Speaker 6

希望这些能大规模推行。

I hope that's at scale.

Speaker 6

也许我该跟进一下这一点。

Maybe I should follow-up on that.

Speaker 6

我问的问题让我对贝莱德的未来充满期待,但我也清楚地意识到,如今这个世界,每一件事都必须重新思考。

But the questions I'm asking, I couldn't be more excited about the opportunities ahead for BlackRock, but I couldn't be more aware of the requirement in today's world, everything needs to be reimagined.

Speaker 6

我们需要的,还有领导者将要面对的,说来有趣,我认为很多重新思考会自下而上地发生。

And what we need and what I think leaders are gonna be faced with, And ironically, I think a lot of the reimagination is going to come bottom up.

Speaker 6

你该怎么重新定义你所做的事情?

But how do you reimagine what you do?

Speaker 6

你该怎么重新思考你的成长方式?

How do you reimagine how you grow?

Speaker 6

你该怎么重新设计在这个新世界里与客户的互动?

How do you reimagine how you interact with clients in this new world?

Speaker 6

我觉得,说到底,这事儿还没真正开始。

And I think that, again, I don't think that started.

Speaker 6

现在的情况更像是个难题,大家都在试错,但还没真正启动。

I think right now, it's a bit of a brain teaser, a lot of experiments, but it has not started.

Speaker 6

到2030年,几乎每一家优秀公司走进去,都会和今天截然不同。

Almost every great company, if you walk in in the year 2030, is going to be fundamentally different than today.

Speaker 6

在我看来,这不是一夜之间的变革,也不是五年就能完成的转变。

And the way I think of this, this is not an overnight reimagination, but it's not a five year reimagination.

Speaker 6

它介于两者之间, somewhere in between those two.

It's somewhere in between those two.

Speaker 5

我们一开始就说,能聊上好几个小时,还有无数其他话题没谈。

You know, we said in the beginning we could go for hours, there's a million other things that we could ask.

Speaker 5

最后再问一个问题。

One last question on my mind.

Speaker 5

当然。

Sure.

Speaker 5

我之前问过好几个人这个问题,可能跟那种代币、分词的概念有点关系。

I've been I've tried I've asked this version to a few different people, it maybe kinda relates to the other kind of tokens, tokenization.

Speaker 5

但就是这个想法——

But just this idea

Speaker 4

会让人搞混的。

gonna get confusing.

Speaker 5

你明显能看出来。

You can tell.

Speaker 5

已经够让人头疼了。

Really annoying already.

Speaker 5

因为这个想法是,嗯,能不能——

Because this idea Well, can

Speaker 6

在你问之前,我能先说一句吗?

can I just say one thing before you ask your question?

Speaker 6

会让人搞混的。

It's gonna get confusing.

Speaker 6

现在已经够乱了。

It already is.

Speaker 6

但重要的是,人工智能和数字资产,确实相关。

But importantly, AI and digital assets Yeah.

Speaker 6

这两个话题关系非常紧密。

Are very related topics.

Speaker 6

关系密切到极点。

Extremely related topics.

Speaker 5

也许你可以把这一点也融入到刚才的回答里。

Well, this kind of maybe maybe you can fold that into the answer here.

Speaker 5

不过,有意思的是,现在有很多让人兴奋的私营公司,大家都想参与进去。

But, you know, like, an interesting thing, there's a lot of very exciting private companies that people are wanna get access to.

Speaker 5

但很多时候,这些公司已经以某种方式被交易了,可能已经有SPV,或者某些代币在周末的HyperLiquid上交易,代表了Anthropic之类的公司股份。

But in many cases, they're already, like, kinda traded in some way, and there might be, like, these SPVs that people have already or some token somewhere that trades on hyperliquid on the weekend that represents somehow shares of anthropic or whatever.

Speaker 5

你得找点别的爱好。

You need other hobbies.

Speaker 5

但从你的角度看,我很好奇,跟这相关的另一点是,现有上市公司的披露义务似乎会逐渐放宽,也许公司以后只需要每半年或每年报告一次。

But I'm curious from your perspective, like and another thing that relates to this is the disclosure obligations for existing public companies seem like they're gonna come down over time, and maybe companies will only have to report every six months or a year.

Speaker 5

也许根本不用报告了。

Maybe never.

Speaker 5

公共资产和私人资产之间,会不会永远有一条明确的界限?还是说,未来只会存在一个流动性与披露程度的连续光谱,而‘公共’和‘私人’的定义本身已经变得模糊不清?

Like, will there always be a bright line between what's a public and what's a private asset, or is it just gonna be this spectrum of liquidity and disclosure, but no clear definition of what it means anymore between public and private?

Speaker 6

这是个很好的问题。

It's a great question.

Speaker 6

我认为,随着时间推移,它会越来越像一个连续谱。

I think over time, it'll be more of a spectrum.

Speaker 6

回顾过去几十年整个行业的发展,你会发现,几乎在所有领域,界限都在变得越来越模糊,这几乎是其中一个核心趋势。

I think that when I look at the broad industry over the past multiple decades, the lines one of the defining themes, the lines, almost across everything you could imagine, have been getting more and more blurry.

Speaker 6

我认为这种变化背后的原因是技术。

And I would argue that's been because of technology.

Speaker 6

如果想想过去那种传统的分类方式,它们本质上只是方便性的产物。

So if you think about the old style boxes that existed, they were convenience technologies.

Speaker 6

因为那时候没法从底层开始建模。

Because you couldn't bottom up model things.

Speaker 6

你只能这么说:中盘股有这个特点,好吧,这就像是一个乐高积木。

You basically said, Okay, mid cap equities have this attribute, and like, that's a LEGO piece.

Speaker 6

而不是去逐个分析每只股票的表现,再把它们放在整个投资组合的框架里思考。

As opposed to, let me model what the individual stocks are, and then I could think of it in the context of a whole portfolio.

Speaker 6

所以我觉得,现在技术正在让这些界限变得不那么分明,越来越模糊——无论是在客户构建投资组合的方式上,还是在这些‘乐高积木’如何组合以实现目标的问题上。

So I think that what's happening is that technology is enabling those lines to be less discrete and more blurry across spectrums and across how do clients build portfolios, how do these LEGO pieces get put together to actually achieve their objectives?

Speaker 6

我觉得你的问题里其实包含了很多层面,对我来说,最令人惊讶的一点是,两三年前,整个主流说法还是‘尽量长期保持私有’。

I think that there's a lot going on embedded in your question, including you see and to me, this is one of the most remarkable things that is happening, is that two, three, four years ago, the whole narrative was private for longer.

Speaker 6

而且说实话,我也不确定是不是真的,但现在的上市公司数量,好像确实比刚入行时少多了。

And, certainly, I don't know how this is true that there's fewer public companies today than when I started.

Speaker 5

我明白你的意思,斯坦。

I hear that, Stan.

Speaker 5

我闻起来味道很好。

I smell really good.

Speaker 6

我查过了。

I've checked it.

Speaker 6

真的没错,我一开始也不信。

It's it's actually true, because I didn't believe it.

Speaker 6

是的。

Yeah.

Speaker 6

但你难免会想,这怎么可能呢?

But you wonder, like, how is that possible?

Speaker 6

不过话说回来,反过来一看,像OpenAI、Anthropic、SpaceX这些公司,它们都在拼命想上市,因为到了某个阶段,公开市场能提供的价值,是私人市场没法比的。

Now that said, the flip side of it is you see for these companies like Open AI, Anthropic, SpaceX, their race to go public, because at some point, the public markets provide a lot of value propositions that are beyond what the private markets can provide.

Speaker 6

所以我觉得,现在正上演着两种截然不同的故事。

So I think you see this sort of tale of two cities that's happening.

Speaker 6

但未来会形成一个连续谱系,有些终端投资者和机构想要数字钱包,也有些更倾向传统的托管账户。

But there will be a spectrum, including a spectrum of certain end investors and institutions that want to have a digital wallet and certain end investors and institutions that want to have a traditional custody account.

Speaker 6

这并不是非黑即白的事。

And it's not a binary thing.

Speaker 6

这背后是技术在推动个性化服务。

It's about technology enabling that personalization.

Speaker 4

我还有一个问题,算是个意外话题。

I have one more question, sort of a wild card.

Speaker 4

你和拉里·芬克最常争论的是什么?

But what do you and Larry Fink disagree about the most?

Speaker 4

我问这个是因为——不,不是随便问问。

And the reason I ask is, no.

Speaker 4

我是真的很好奇。

I'm genuinely interested.

Speaker 4

你们俩已经一起共事很多年了。

You you've been working alongside each other for years and years and years now.

Speaker 4

我对紧密合作的人际关系特别感兴趣。

I have a personal interest in close collaborative relationships.

Speaker 5

我们分歧挺多的。

Disagree on a lot.

Speaker 6

这算是

It's a

Speaker 5

一个很合理的问题。

very legit question.

Speaker 6

我通常觉得,我们在目标上看法其实挺一致的。

I would say often, we both see things similarly in terms of the endpoint.

Speaker 6

拉里更关注明天,而我更觉得,眼前还有不少事得做。

Larry is more of a tomorrow person, and I'm more of a, well, there's work to do here.

Speaker 6

这事儿得花上好几年。

This is gonna take a few years.

Speaker 6

大概就是这样吧。

I would say that that's typically it.

Speaker 4

明白了。

Okay.

Speaker 4

拉里是乔,而我呢,算是罗布吧。

Larry is a Joe, and I'm a Rob, I guess.

Speaker 4

好的。

Alright.

Speaker 4

罗布·戈德斯坦,非常感谢你做客《Odd Lots》。

Rob Goldstein, thank you so much for coming on Odd Lots.

Speaker 4

太棒了。

That was great.

Speaker 4

谢谢大家。

Thanks, guys.

Speaker 4

特别有意思。

Lot of fun.

Speaker 5

是的。

Yeah.

Speaker 5

真的很精彩。

That was great.

Speaker 5

非常感谢。

Thank you so much.

Speaker 5

太棒了。

Awesome.

Speaker 5

不客气。

My pleasure.

Speaker 5

是的。

Yeah.

Speaker 4

乔,刚才的对话真的很有趣。

Jo, that was a really fun conversation.

Speaker 5

确实挺有意思的。

That was fun.

Speaker 4

而且引人深思。

And a lot to think about.

Speaker 4

我的意思是,当我们讨论这些企业的护城河时,你一开始就提到了权力动态,确实感觉它们的护城河主要就是规模、数据和能力。

I mean, I do think when we're talking about moats around some of these businesses, you brought up the power dynamics law very early on, and it does feel like a lot of the moat is basically size and data and capability that you have.

Speaker 4

我很难想象有人会说他们在用‘氛围编程’写一堆程序,每个都看起来挺有意思、挺酷的。

And I can't imagine that you hear this you hear people saying that they're, like, vibe coding a bunch of different programs, and they all look kind of interesting and cool.

Speaker 4

但我真的很难想象这些公司能建立起什么坚固的护城河。

But, like, it's hard for me to imagine a big moat around those businesses No.

Speaker 4

如果真是这样。

If Yeah.

Speaker 4

你只是往FOD代码里塞了几条指令而已。

You've just, like, plugged in a few instructions into FOD code.

Speaker 4

而且而且。

And and

Speaker 5

没人会把重要或敏感的内容放到这种自制的工具里。

and no one is going to be putting anything of importance or sensitivity into some homemade Right.

Speaker 4

应用。

App.

Speaker 4

我的意思是,这确实没错。

I mean, that's And so that's definitely true.

Speaker 4

这才是有意思的地方。

That's what was interesting.

Speaker 4

这个观点很有意思,认为金融领域的监管壁垒在人工智能时代反而成了优势。

This idea that actually the regulatory moat around finance actually becomes a valuable thing in the age of AI.

Speaker 5

完全同意。

Totally.

Speaker 5

说起来,虽然跟AI关系不大,但能提供全面的投资组合可视化解决方案,这确实挺有价值的。

You know, it's interesting too, not really AI related, but the idea of being able to provide, you know, provide a solution, all of portfolio visibility Yeah.

Speaker 5

为什么金融行业的大公司会变得更大?其中一个原因是什么?

What is one reason why the big get bigger within finance?

Speaker 5

原因之一是,只有规模足够大的机构,才有能力同时提供私募信贷、指数投资等各种服务。

One reason is because only a really large entity would have the capacity to be able to, like, and here's what we can offer you with private credit, and here's what we can offer you with indexing, etcetera.

Speaker 5

所以,最终投资者手里的投资组合往往包含多种不同类别的资产。

So, okay, the end investor has this big portfolio consisting of lots of different types of asset classes.

Speaker 5

正如他提到的,过去这个行业通常是按资产类别各自割裂的。

As he mentioned, historically, industry has sort of been verticalized by asset class.

Speaker 5

如果想找一个能把所有拼图碎片都拼起来的机构,也就是懂投资组合构建的,那理论上,你就需要一家真正庞大的公司,能全面理解这一切。

If you want some entity that has how do all the puzzle pieces fit together, which is the assets of portfolio construction, then theoretically, you just want, like, a really big company that understands Yeah.

Speaker 5

我一直觉得,关于竞争优势的来源这个问题,我们以前也讨论过。

All of I also thought and it was kind of also on the source of edge question is we've talked about this before.

Speaker 5

在金融行业里,我觉得最有趣的工作之一就是做渠道调研的人。

It always seems like one of the fun jobs in finance would be the the channel check person.

Speaker 5

就是那种去商场里看看,嗯,实际货架上卖得怎么样。

The person who goes to the mall to Oh, yeah.

Speaker 5

这种实地考察。

The field trips.

Speaker 5

对。

Yeah.

Speaker 5

实地考察就是说,比如你得去数一数盖璞店里挂了多少件毛衣。

The field trips is like, okay.

Speaker 5

盖璞货架上到底摆了多少件毛衣?

How many sweaters are on the Gap shelf?

Speaker 5

诸如此类的事情。

Whatever.

Speaker 5

也许这些东西反而更有价值,因为它们还没被放进商场里。

Maybe that becomes even more valuable because, like, things that have not yet been put into a mall.

Speaker 5

对。

Yeah.

Speaker 5

我很高兴有人听《Odd Lots》这个节目。

And, look, I love that people listen to Odd Lots.

Speaker 5

我也喜欢人们看新闻,尤其是彭博社上的财经资讯。

I love that people read the news, particularly financial news on Bloomberg.

Speaker 5

我从来就不觉得,大多数人看了篇文章,就会因此决定去投资。

I've never thought, by and large, that people read an article, and it's like, I'm gonna make an investment decision based on that.

Speaker 5

希望它至少能帮他们理清思路或改进决策流程,但没人会听完一档播客,就立刻跑去买股票。

Hopefully, it helps inform their thinking or their processes in some way, but no one, like, listens to a a podcast and then, like, goes out and, like, buys the stock by and large.

Speaker 5

因为一旦信息传到网上,价格差不多就已经反映出来了。

But it's because, like, once it's out there in, like, the digital world, it's like, it's kinda priced in already.

Speaker 5

所以人们会更拼命地寻找那些还没被纳入模型的真实信息。

So there's gonna be that intense hunt for information that is, like, truly, like, has not been put into the model yet.

Speaker 4

你真是个有效市场假说的纯粹派。

Such an EMH, purist.

Speaker 4

没错,我就是。

I am.

Speaker 4

这太惊人了。

It's amazing.

Speaker 5

对吧?

But right?

Speaker 5

那些能发现还没被当作训练数据用在模型里的信息的人,这些信息会变得极其宝贵,甚至更值得人们亲自出门去挖掘。

Like, the the value of people who can find information that has not turned into trade training data yet for a model, that data is gonna get, like, super valuable and maybe, like, more valuable and more reason to, like, just, like, get out on the road and stuff like that.

Speaker 4

不是的。

No.

Speaker 4

我基本同意这个观点。

I I largely agree with that.

Speaker 4

我还觉得另一点特别有意思,跟你最后那个问题有关,就是公开市场和私人市场的融合。

The other thing I thought was really interesting, and it gets to your last question, was the sort of melding of public and private markets.

Speaker 4

这其实也正是我之前说整个投资组合时想表达的意思。

And it's also what I was kind of getting at with the whole portfolio thing.

Speaker 4

如果所有这些私人资产都被代币化,并且在投资组合中以和公开资产相同的方式被看待,

If all these private assets Yeah.

Speaker 4

至少在投资组合中能以同样的方式被看到,

Are tokenized and treated in the same way in a portfolio or at least visible in a portfolio in the same way as a public asset

Speaker 5

是的。

Yeah.

Speaker 4

那这种区别就会变得越来越模糊。

Would be, it seems like that distinction starts to get really, really blurry.

Speaker 5

完全没错。

Oh, totally.

Speaker 5

对吧?

Right?

Speaker 5

我刚才说的那个点我就不重复了,但我觉得我们其实已经

Not to go back to a point that I just made, but on the on this, like, I think we're actually already

Speaker 4

我刚才说得太快了。

seeing on the I moved on too quickly.

Speaker 5

不是的。

No.

Speaker 5

不是的。

No.

Speaker 5

我刚刚也突然明白了,好吧。

It just this just clicked to me too, but it's like, okay.

Speaker 5

我们该往哪个方向走呢?也许真正的价值在于那些走出去、收集模型之外信息的人。

Where are we go like, there maybe there'll be more value in, like, people who go out on the road and get information that's not in the model.

Speaker 5

最近我们就看到,很多人都疯狂追捧一位在霍尔木兹海峡做分析的专家。

We saw this recently with all the people going crazy for a Sattrini's analyst in the Strait Of Hormuz.

Speaker 5

那种亲自到实地去收集尚未数字化的信息的做法,将会成为未来的核心。

And this idea that, like, field trips out to the world to collect information that has not been digitized yet is gonna be where all the action is.

Speaker 5

感觉这件事会变得特别重要。

Like, it feels like that's gonna be a big thing.

Speaker 4

不对。

No.

Speaker 4

听起来有点老生常谈,但我觉得过去二十年,社会一直很看重那些擅长数字和编程的聪明人,确实如此。

It sounds trite, but I feel like the pendulum has swung from you know, for the past twenty years, if you were a smart person who could think in terms of numbers and code, you were probably very valued Yeah.

Speaker 4

社会是这么看的。

By society.

Speaker 4

现在,重心开始转向那些在一线、擅长建立关系和社交的人了。

And now the pendulum sort of swings to those on the ground relationship building social skills.

Speaker 4

这个转变挺有意思的。

It's it's an interesting transition.

Speaker 5

现在确实是个特别的时期。

It's an interesting time.

Speaker 4

好吧。

Alright.

Speaker 4

我们就说到这儿吧?

Shall we leave it there?
