#Seedance 2.0 is blowing up the internet 

ByteDance — yes, the company behind TikTok — has opened beta access to its new AI video generator, and users are saying it rivals (and in some cases surpasses) OpenAI’s Sora 2 and Kuaishou’s Kling 3.0.

Hollywood is right to be scared - if anyone can create a blockbuster in minutes, what becomes scarce?

Beyond the headline: median household income crosses S$12,000 — the definition itself has changed.

Singapore has expanded “household income” to include non-work income — rentals, investments and CPF payouts — effectively introducing a broader market income / wealth lens that better reflects an ageing, asset-owning society.

That’s meaningful. It recognises passive income and improves relevance for retirees.

But it also raises a fair question: we count investment income — but what about investment losses?? The measure captures only upside but not volatility.

It also helps explain why the Gini coefficient hit a record low. 

Once government transfers and payouts are fully accounted for, inequality looks narrower — falling to 0.379, which is clearly the number G policymakers are anchoring on.

So this year isn’t really about a higher income figure.

It’s about a new way of measuring income, wealth and inequality in Singapore —

The newly announced AI-Ready SG initiative aims to equip workers across all skill levels with AI training pathways, subsidise AI tools (up to 50%), and provide mentorship support.

So NTUC’s move to create:
 • Structured AI learning pathways
 • Sectoral AI playbooks
 • Tool subsidies
 • Mentorship matching

But there is nothing in the article that really breaks down the nature of what AI is and what this training actually looks like.

Let me ask a “stupid” question:

How exactly do you train a NTUC warehouse packer to use AI? Automation is not AI. 

Do we give him ChatGPT and ask him to optimise carton stacking? Teach prompt engineering between loading pallets?

AI isn’t magic. It’s just maths, data and process redesign wrapped in good marketing.

 If we want workers to embrace it, we need to make it more concrete - if not it becomes another "digital transformation" campaign where everyone attends workshop and nothing changes 😁

Singapore grew 5.3% in 2024 and 5% in 2025 — the first back-to-back >5% expansion since 2010–2011. Economists agreed that Singapore's GDP performance over the past two years has been exceptional for a developed economy.

Why?
Global AI capex flowed through Singapore.

So Growth was led by:
Manufacturing (especially electronics & semiconductors)
Wholesale trade
Finance & insurance
Construction
Pharmaceuticals

But outside these clusters… what about the rest of the economy? I think from news reports - retail, f&B, SME dont seem to be doing well?

And how does this look super imposed on jobs - ie what does this exceptional growth mean for people on the street? 

Personally I dont think the challenge is to do another 5% - it is how to diffuse that growth into paychecks and kopi prices (remember inflation?)

Year of the Fire Horse 🔥🐎

In the Chinese zodiac, 17 Feb 2026 marks the start of the Year of the Fire Horse — a combination that only comes around once every 60 years.

Historically, Fire Horse years have been associated with:

Rapid change
Strong personalities
Breakthrough innovation
Periods of volatility that reshape industries

Are you ready for what it may bring #linkedin fam?

Coming out with the policy was the easy part....

Growing food is one thing but making sure it is affordable comparing to imports... totally another thing.

We subsidise the tech to grow but not the cost of it being sold locally isn't gonna help when ppl want to just eat the same greens at cheaper prices.

And it is costly - rental and labour. We do not have the land to grow and the cost of running a high tech farm can get ridiculously expensive over time.

Waiting for the post mortem..if there is one 🤔

Grief as a Service 🌈

Meta, $META, has obtained a patent for an AI system that could simulate deceased users by analyzing their historical data, allowing the account to keep posting, messaging, and even making video calls in their behavioral style

Simulating the dead crosses from “AI utility” into “who asked for this”??

Just because you can model a personality doesn’t mean you should deploy it 😐
