What are the open world games worth playing in the history of games? Although the open world is a popular type in today’s game field, it is not easy to make players satisfied. In this issue, we have compiled ten masterpieces of the open world theme for everyone, ensuring that each one has stood the test of time and has a high reputation among the players, and each style is different! Conscience recommendation, remember to praise the collection ~

The elder scrolls v: sky rim (PC/PS3/PS4/Xbox 360/Xbox one/ns).

When it comes to open-world games, it must be impossible not to mention the ancient scrolls 5. As a classic masterpiece in the game history, there are countless famous scenes born from this game. Even if you haven’t played this game, you should have heard of classic stalks such as "an arrow in the knee" and "the chicken god in the sky", which shows what kind of position this game has in the game world.

The story time of this book is set 200 years after the fourth generation of the ancient scrolls, and the player will play the legendary dragon and embark on a journey against the dragon Odouin. The game has a huge world view and a high degree of freedom. You can kill the target according to the arrangement of the NPC who assigned you the task, or you can help the target in turn to kill the person who assigned you the task at first. Moreover, all NPCs have their own life details. If you are willing to observe, you will find that they need to walk step by step to their destinations, and they will also encounter various difficulties and dangers on the way. If you die on the way, you will also receive his will; If you get a clothes prop from a dead person, it means that it is the clothes he is wearing. If you take it away, it will really be taken off. NPC will die in sudden fighting, but as long as you are active, he can be saved by you, and then you can come here and see him again.

Details that other games don’t have are all taken for granted in the world of Elder Scrolls 5. In this work, you play yourself, and you can really "do whatever you want" and do whatever you want. On this basis, there are all kinds of MODs that can change the game magic into what players want more. This is not only as simple as improving the picture quality to burn your 4090 graphics card, but also as free as you want, making the gameplay of this game unparalleled. Today, 12 years later, there are still millions of online data enough to see the horror of this game. If you haven’t experienced this work, please be sure to try it.

Fallout4 (PC/Xbox One/PS4)

Like the Elder Scrolls 5, Radiation 4 is an open-world game developed by B Society, although it can’t compare with the Elder Scrolls 5 in the details of the open world. But it is also super fun to use the design of "open world+sandbox" gameplay. Just like its name, this is an open world game with the theme of doomsday survival. In the early stage of the game world outlook, it is basically similar to the world we live in. The first actual performance of the atomic bomb shocked the world. People really realize the value of nuclear energy. Gradually embarked on the road of excessive dependence on nuclear energy. However, this over-dependence eventually brought new disasters and people led to the outbreak of war. However, the protagonist’s family hiding in the shelter also experienced great changes. His wife was killed and his children were taken away. The protagonist trapped in the dormant cabin can only watch it happen. It has been 200 years since I set foot on the journey of finding children again, and the world has completely become a wasteland.

In this book, there are a lot of scenes, rich resources (picking up garbage), flesh-and-blood NPCs and fascinating stories, as in the ordinary open world. The sandbox elements of this book allow you to build facilities according to your own wishes, and finally build your own base on a vast land, and then let NPCs live in it and become a new home for survival. If you like eschatology, then this book must not be missed.

Eldenring (PC/PS4/Xbox One/PS5/XSX)

For the first time, the Elden Ring, which uses the soul game and the open world elements, has once again brought the soul game to a new height with proud results from the beginning of its sale.

It is true that compared with other open-world games with too many elements and higher degrees of freedom, the open-world of Fahuan is relatively pure: guiding players to focus on exploring vast maps, completing feeder lines, and fighting with various enemies and boss with relatively high difficulty and low fault tolerance. However, under the excellent combat system design and the atmosphere rendering of epic scenes, players can easily get the sense of accomplishment of "building positive feedback in failure" and repeat it in "the more difficult it is, the more fun it is, and it can’t stop at all", which has always been the charm of soul games. Combined with the open world, this process has become more interesting. Players can explore all areas of the game more freely without too many restrictions, but the game can always let players go to the preset route through exquisite map design. In addition, the world view written by george r.r. martin, the author of Quanyou, has brought an unparalleled atmosphere to the whole game process. Players who like the dark fantasy wind and open the world should not miss it.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (PC/PS4/Xbox One/Nintendo Switch/PS5/XSX)

This is an open world RPG game developed by Polish developer CDPR. The world view of the game follows the classic Polish novel The Devil Hunter. In this game, the player will play the role of Geralt, a demon hunter, and start a brand-new adventure in order to find his daughter.

The game provides five large area maps for players to experience. Most of these areas are relatively independent, but each area has its own scenic features and rich content to explore. Every time a player goes to a village, he can go to the bulletin board to get the task, learn about the experience of the local villagers, and start a long or short branch adventure. This part of the content can be described as extremely rich and substantial. During this period, players will also be faced with dialogue options. Your choice often affects the opinions of NPCs or their endings in the main line and branch lines. Although many times the options provided to players only have bad results and worse results, these options have indeed successfully shaped the characters in the story, making them unforgettable. The world outlook of Wizard 3 is also vividly interpreted in front of players in this process. When you are tired of playing, you can also play cards with NPC’s, or just ride a horse and roam in various landscapes. When you see the evening scenery, please don’t forget the screenshot, because it’s really beautiful!

A while ago, the next-generation version was released, which improved the picture quality, corrected some problems, and added all-Chinese pronunciation and a new perspective. Players who have not experienced it must try it!

Fistful of dollars 2 (PC/PS4/Xbox One/PS5/XSX)

Fistful of dollars 2 is an R-star game that has been developed for 8 years. The game revolves around the legendary story of Arthur Morgan and the infamous Van der Linde gang, allowing players to experience the desperate journey across the United States in the last years of the 19th century. Big Cousin 2, known as the "detail maniac", once again verified the development strength of R star horror. In the theme of simulation, they stuffed in countless details to enrich the world. As long as you devote yourself to it, these details will bring endless immersion. Just like the workers who are working in the game, if you have the leisure to stand by and observe, you will find that their work is really nailing nails into the wood.

Horses of different breeds and sexes will also have different personalities. Some are loyal, and some horses are timid enough to meet the slightest danger. When they see something horrible, they throw you off their horses and run away by themselves. Not to mention the nuanced settings that some guns will spill milk when they hit milk cans, and beer will really spill when they hit beer cans. The cost of $6 billion and eight years of research and development time have filled every corner of this huge game with such details. This way of developing games is really "heroic" and hard to refuse. If you are interested in the western theme, this book will always be the best model to bring you into close contact with that era, both now and in the future.

The legend of zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (NS)

Different from other open worlds, the legend of zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a pure open world game in which the gameplay is king. Even more profoundly, rather than building a gameplay, Nintendo is more like building a very large system of rules, and then setting the boundaries, and then all the next things are handed over to the players.

I believe everyone has seen a lot of strange things built by other players in Wang’s tears. But that’s only part of it. For example, in the face of a river or a puzzle, you can combine the current character state with the props in your hand and pass them in various ways. It can be simple and rude, and it can be broken by force; You can also combine your understanding of the game mechanism to spread your thinking and solve it by simple or complex ideas. Everything depends on your brain hole. The most important thing is that no matter how outrageous it is, as long as you have no deviation in understanding the game mechanism, you can basically achieve it. It can be said that as long as you don’t take others seriously, try to compare the speed of tackling key problems and build as high as possible. Then this game can really become an open-world game that breaks away from the concept of "efficiency" and allows players to simply immerse themselves in it and enjoy the exploration process.

GTA5（PS3/PS4/PS5/PC/XBOX ONE /XBOX360）

Can you imagine a game that was given away for nothing? When it was given away for nothing, the server was jammed. Will it continue to sell well after it is given away?

Regardless of the content of the game itself, only by virtue of this, the legend of three men and one dog can be said to have reached the level of extreme terror! It is no exaggeration to say that he is a game that any player can’t refuse.

As an "action adventure" game with urban theme, the game supports the three protagonists to switch at will, drive the car on the rampage, or stand on the roof and take out their weapons, pour out your anger on everything they can reach, and then fight to the death with the "enemies" who come to deal with you, and then be shot down and reborn. I believe that no player can refuse to break all the rules in the city and go hysterically crazy. But GTA5 is a god, and no matter how crazy our protagonist is, once he returns to the plot and their lives, they will all become ordinary people and experience and deal with those terrible things, even the scalp is numb. You can see their own problems and defects, and you can also see their efforts and helplessness in sharp humor. Therefore, this is a game that wants freedom, freedom and wildness, but also depth. The relationship between Lao Cui, Mike and Franklin is worth every player’s personal taste.

Just cause 3 (PC/Xbox One/PS4)

Sometimes we just hope that life or games can be simpler and there are not so many worries and constraints. To really achieve the ultimate, I first promoted "Self-Defense 3".

Although we are the just side in the game and want to destroy evil organizations by force, in fact, the island of Medici with more than 400 square kilometers in the game is definitely our playground. You have too many weapons to choose from. You can go to heaven and earth casually here and make a scene. Rockets, gatling and even small nuclear bombs can be used at will! What? You say this is the hometown of the protagonist? It doesn’t matter, just tell me if the bad guys have been solved! Although this experience can blow up 80% of the scene, if you think about it casually, you will know that it won’t be cool and it won’t last. But when you get upset, you can enjoy yourself here like mowing the grass like no other, so you can relax and swim. Maybe this game will be the one that will accompany you for the longest time.

Metal gear 5 phantom pain (PC/PS4/Xbox One/PS3/Xbox 360/XSX).

This is a ceiling-level tactical spy sneak into the open world game. The stage of the game is set in Africa and Afghanistan. In the main task, we need to play the role of big boss and set foot on the story of revenge; In the branch line, we need to obtain all kinds of materials and personnel to build our new base. Then with the development of the base, we can get more powerful support. For example, to develop more powerful professional weapons, you need to capture the corresponding professional personnel in the battlefield and so on. The growth of the base provides sufficient guarantee for the next battle of big boss. In actual combat, you will face a dynamic battlefield full of countless variables. The ever-changing gameplay allows you to have countless fun in this terrible game with rich elements. Whether you attack head-on or sneak in, no matter which way you choose to fight, there are countless subdivision options waiting for you.

Perhaps before the introduction of Wilderness Breath, this game was probably the open world game with the most live videos in those years. Coupled with the excellent performance and thought-provoking background story, even after so many years, few games can achieve this height. Players who like to sneak into games are highly recommended.

Cyberpunk 2077 (PC/PS4/Xbox One/PS5/XSX)

Although the poor project management finally made this book’s reputation thunderous, the quality achieved by repairing in 2077 so far is also an open-world work full of regrets but with distinctive experience. The task design and narrative mode inherited from Wizard 3 make the plot experience of this work very substitutive. Therefore, although there are still too many hard injuries in this game, such as the contradiction between the main line and the branch line, if you take the initiative to ignore some contradictions in time or space. Then the high-quality subplots designed in this work will definitely make you feel that CDPR has a unique talent in shaping Cyberpunk’s world view. For example, the related content of Panan and the content of Kerry and so on. Therefore, if you haven’t been hurt by the past quality of this book and start with a price that is close to the people, then this book will bring you a cyber experience that is worth the fare.

So that’s all the content recommended in this issue. I wonder what other excellent and lingering open world games you have played? Welcome to share your recommendation in the comments section ~

-END-

Pay attention to the "Twitter Workshop", share good games every day, and bid farewell to the game shortage!

Another top flow overturned.

On September 10th, Li Jiaqi introduced a 79 yuan Huaxizi eyebrow pencil in the live broadcast room. When he saw the barrage that the brand was getting more and more expensive, he immediately retorted crossly: "Where is it expensive? It has been this price for so many years. " "Sometimes I look for my own reasons. After so many years, my salary has not risen. Have you worked hard?"

Consumers evaluate the value of products, but the anchor, in turn, evaluates consumers high and high, which naturally arouses public anger. As soon as this was said, "netizens with goods in Li Jiaqi" quickly rushed to the hot search.

In the comment area, one of the most praised messages wrote: "You can explain why it is so expensive, because of raw materials or workmanship or other reasons, but you can’t attack consumers."

Li Jiaqi first explained his bad state in the live broadcast room, and then posted an apology in Weibo, but consumers didn’t buy it.

On the evening of September 11th, Li Jiaqi apologized in tears during the live broadcast. (Photo/Weibo screenshot)

Netizens noticed that the eyebrow pencil he recommended weighs only 0.08 grams, and the price per gram is twice as expensive as that of gold. Then, the unit price per gram of domestic beauty products and international brands in recent years was compared, and something was found.

"If you calculate by grams, how can domestic products be more expensive than international brands?" The new domestic beauty cosmetics always take "big brand replacement" as the selling point, and Li Jiaqi’s words that offended consumers even caused their word-of-mouth to bite back.

Online celebrity brand often sells eyebrow pencil of tens of dollars and lipstick of hundreds of dollars. Where is your price?

Take off the "domestic" filter, what’s left?

In recent years, the new brand of beauty that has been popular on the internet has been inseparable from the label of "domestic products" at the beginning of its debut.

Hua Xizi is positioned as "Oriental makeup, nourishing makeup with flowers" to create makeup that is really suitable for China consumers; The parent company of Perfect Diary, Yixian E-commerce, went public in 2020, and was praised as "the first beauty in China" and "the light of domestic products"; Tangduo is circled with cheap monochromatic eye shadow, and the key words of notes on planting grass are also "domestic products" and "big brand replacement".

It can be said that consumers were initially attracted by these brands precisely because of their "domestic" attributes. It is not only suitable for Chinese skin, but also relatively low in price, and can be used as a cheap substitute for big brands. "Domestic products are doing so well now" and "supporting domestic products" are often the reasons why consumers choose them.

How the beauty of new domestic products became popular has been reported by various commercial reports for countless times. Beyond the traditional supermarkets and e-commerce platforms, they seized the opportunity to preempt emerging social channels such as Little Red Books and short video platforms. Young people who play these softwares are more active and pay more attention to cost performance.

With the help of network marketing, it is the usual practice of many new consumer brands. (Figure/"Animals")

The perfect diary plays the slogan of "big brand replacement" and cooperates with many KOL and KOC on social software to reach the audience accurately. According to the prospectus when Yixian e-commerce went public, by December 2020, Perfect Diary had cooperated with more than 15,000 KOLs, of which more than 800 KOLs had more than one million fans.

Hua Xizi, who is often compared with the perfect diary, pays more attention to the image packaging. Around the concept of "Oriental", Hua Xizi invited Du Fu, kiku and other national beauties to speak for him. The packaging design is quite ancient. Lipstick and eye shadow are carved, and the shell should be made into Chinese locks and folding fans. Even the slogan imitates the style of ancient poetry: "Even the skin is like a gauze, and the original makeup is fixed."

However, if you take off the domestic filter, you can see that many brands rely heavily on heavy marketing.

The rise of new domestic products is indispensable for the promotion of grass. (Figure/Figure Worm Creativity)

In 2020, the revenue of Perfect Diary was 5.24 billion yuan, while the marketing expenses were 3.4 billion yuan, accounting for 65%. From 2020 to 2022, the sales expense ratio of domestic brand Polaiya was around 40%, while that of Mao Geping was over 40%. In contrast, the marketing expense ratio of L ‘Oré al and Estee Lauder, which have high domestic market share, is between 25% and 30%.

Hua Xizi did not disclose relevant data, but some media reported that Hua Xizi invested 20 million yuan per month on the live broadcast platform in the early days for marketing.

Burning money marketing can kill a bloody road in a red sea and let consumers know the brand quickly, but it may not be able to get a good reputation.

Whether it works or not will not be known until you try. (Photo/"Please Answer 1988")

In recent years, the growth path of many new online red new consumer brands has followed a similar formula: first, target people to build a brand, find a foundry to produce, and then use Internet marketing to build explosive products. However, it relies too much on marketing and packaging and is easily questioned by consumers.

Just like Hua Xizi, who is positioning high-end domestic products, the pricing strategy of single products is very particular, and it is often stuck in the blank range below international brands and above domestic brands. Take the explosive product air honey powder as an example, its price is 169 yuan, while the price of Chanel loose powder is 590 yuan. At first glance, Huaxizi is indeed cheaper, but their net contents are 8.5 grams and 30 grams respectively. After careful calculation, the price per gram of Huaxizi is even slightly higher than that of Chanel.

Netizens calculate the unit price per gram of different brands of loose powder. (Figure/Little Red Book screenshot)

No matter how clever the pricing strategy is, it can’t escape the eyes of consumers. Even if the notes on planting grass are overwhelming, there are still many netizens who have used them to give comments: "It starts with advertising, falls into value, and abandons quality." The lipstick is dried, the color is not good-looking, and the foundation takes off makeup, which inevitably leaves the impression of "low cost performance".

The gaudy products are harvested by straight men, and only girls are distressed by the cost performance. (Figure/Little Red Book screenshot)

The eyebrow pencil introduced by Li Jiaqi Live has caused controversy, not because it is expensive, but because consumers are unwilling to pay money significantly higher than the product value. Cheap and easy-to-use eyebrow pencil can be bought everywhere, but 79 yuan’s eyebrow pencil can’t make people intuitively feel whether it is better or not.

Chloe, a makeup enthusiast, told New Weekly: "There may be a gap in the durability of different brands of eyebrow pencils, but the eyebrows are mainly based on technology, and the products are really not much different."

Eyebrow pencils with different prices are not so different. (Figure/Figure Worm Creativity)

Chloe is used to buying cosmetics on her behalf. "Like TF eye shadow tray, the counter sells 700 yuan, and the purchase can be as low as two or three hundred yuan. The live broadcast room will not be lower than the purchase." Imported cosmetics need to pay customs duties, but domestic cosmetics don’t. They should have higher cost performance, which is why many consumers question whether the pricing of some domestic products is reasonable.

In fact, the raw materials and production technology of cosmetics only account for a small part of its cost.

According to China Business Daily, a factory OEM produces many brands of products, including Hua Xizi, and the cost of a single eyebrow pencil is below that of 10 yuan. In the documentary "Great Manufacturing", the production team visited the wholesale market and cosmetics factory, and learned that the lipstick sold in China is tens of yuan and hundreds of yuan. The production cost of the paste is almost four or five yuan, and the shell cost depends on the material. Between a few cents and five or six yuan.

The boss said that the cost of lipstick paste is four or five yuan. (Figure/"Great Manufacturing")

As a consumer, Chloe can also see clearly: "Makeup is a profiteering industry. Now many luxury brands have stopped selling their bags and started selling makeup, which shows that this money is relatively easy to earn."

In the final analysis, high-priced cosmetics are more expensive in brand premium, marketing and sales. After adding these expenses, a product with a cost of a few dollars can sell for hundreds of dollars.

The brand "working for KOL" is the consumer.

In fact, the new domestic beauty brand that spends a lot of money on marketing is often dubbed as "working for KOL".

Guojin Securities Research Institute has combed how the cosmetics industry chain distributes profits. A cosmetic, the brand takes most of the gross profit, and when it reaches the sales channel, it will be divided into a big slice. For the new domestic brands that started online, KOL, such as anchors and grass bloggers, must be given quite high profits.

Cosmetics, your brand and sales. (Figure/City Boundary)

Before March, 2019, Hua Xizi was hard to get into the top 20 in Tmall sales, but since it entered the live broadcast room in Li Jiaqi, its sales have increased rapidly, and it became the first GMV in Tmall on June 18th, 2020. Li Jiaqi was deeply involved in the promotion and even research and development of Hua Xizi, so that it was called "the brand promoted by Li Jiaqi". He repeatedly supported Hua Xizi in the live broadcast room, bluntly saying that "they just gave me their home". But this unintentional sentence also shows that the brand is KOL’s high profit.

As the head anchor, Li Jiaqi’s most famous phrase is "family, knock down the price". With his strict selection of products and "the lowest price in the whole network", he also publicly asked the brand to give him the most favorable price for the live broadcast room. Many people think that by keeping the price down to the lowest level, Li Jiaqi is striving for the interests of consumers.

Li Jiaqi asked the brand to give him the lowest price for the live broadcast room. (Figure/network screenshot)

Earlier, some media reported that Li Jiaqi’s commission rate for promoting Hua Xizi was 60%-80%, but Hua Xizi responded that the commission rate for cooperation with Li Jiaqi was the industry average.

But the head anchor did earn a very high commission. According to the report of the Overseas Business Research Group of Stanford University, in 2021, Li Jiaqi’s revenue ranked first in domestic anchors, reaching 1.8 billion yuan, exceeding the performance of 90%A-share listed companies.

Looking back at Li Jiaqi’s words, people finally have a different understanding.

"It is not because of Li Jiaqi that consumers can buy preferential goods, but because of a huge consumer group, Li Jiaqi, a brother with goods, has been created." Li Jiaqi certainly has his strength and luck to attract a large audience and become a head anchor, but his extremely high bargaining power for brand activities ultimately benefits from his huge fan base.

Top 100 annual net income list of network anchors in China (Mainland China) (part). (Photo/Stanford University Overseas Business Research Group)

Jiang Chacha, a well-known former advertiser, said that in order to enter the live broadcast room of the big anchor, the brand often has to spend a huge amount of money, hundreds of thousands of yuan and millions of yuan are possible. "When the beauty live broadcast battle is the fiercest, some brands will even give 100% commission, which is equivalent to losing money. It is a gameplay to burn money with Internet companies to seize the market."

However, after all, the wool is on the sheep. When the head anchor has too high bargaining power, the brand will burn money and grab the users, and the sales cost will eventually be passed on to consumers.

User comments. (Photo/Weibo screenshot)

Recently, many netizens have shared their shopping records, pointing out that the price increase of many domestic brands has been exaggerated in recent years-"A domestic cosmeceutical brand was originally a substitute for an international brand, but now the international brand has become its substitute." "39 yuan, a brand of eyebrow powder bought in 2019, now sells 79 yuan in the same paragraph."

More beauty bloggers pointed out: "A lip glaze has risen from 20 yuan to 60 yuan, and told me to grab two in the live broadcast room, and each one still costs only 20 yuan." From this point of view, the live broadcast room is still relatively favorable, but outside the live broadcast room, the price has risen.

"If the fire is on, the price will increase, which is really very low." (Figure /@real Li Zhizhi)

For brands, it is not necessarily a good thing to rely too much on the sales channels of one or two head anchors. Li Jiaqi’s phrase "What’s so expensive" can trigger a public relations crisis of the brand, and it may be a matter of an instant that the fire goes out of the circle and the reputation is destroyed.

Under the volume of the industry, the traffic is becoming more and more difficult to obtain and the price is getting higher and higher. The head anchor is harvesting both merchants and consumers. When people finally see the disadvantages of this model, the change of the industry is probably not far away.

With the change of consumption trend, people no longer just pay for the feeling that domestic brands are difficult. They clearly know that what is really difficult is the low-key old domestic products. Young people who are more and more careful will also confidently refute PUA’s words: "How difficult can domestic products be?"

Online celebrity products can’t escape the fate of "fire for a while". (Figure/"Animals")

Chloe said that the emerging online celebrity products are unsafe and useful, which can’t be seen in many notes on planting grass. For the sake of her own experience, she will still choose the classic products with big names.

"online celebrity brand depends entirely on product iteration, and the products made last year will not be popular this year. But those classic products with really good reputation have been selling well for so many years. "

In the beauty market, online celebrity brands are always changing, but consumers will not pay for packaging and feelings repeatedly. On June 18th this year, Hua Xizi fell out of the top ten in the makeup pre-sale list for the first time in five years.

Sooner or later, domestic products will step out of the mode of re-marketing, and rely on quality to precipitate word-of-mouth and brand value. Building classics should be more important than building online celebrity.

Mina scored in the 98th minute and 54th second, which was Everton’s latest Premier League goal since accurate timing statistics were available in the 2006/07 season.

In the end, Wolves drew 1-1 with Everton. Mina was elected the best player of the game.

# So how can the Premier League not love #

In the 37th round of the Premier League, Arsenal lost 0-1 to Nottingham Forest, sending Manchester City to win the Premier League championship three rounds ahead of schedule.

According to statistics, Arsenal have led the standings for a total of 248 days this season, setting a record for the longest time in the history of the top leagues in England.

In early April, Arsenal scored 72 points in 29 games after beating Leeds United 4-1, while Manchester City scored 64 points in 28 games, and Arsenal led by 8 points in one more game.

But then, Arsenal left Liverpool 2-2, West Ham 2-2, Southampton 3-3 at home and Manchester City 1-4 away, giving up the initiative directly. After that, Arsenal 3-1 Chelsea, 2-0 Newcastle away, 0-3 Brighton at home and 0-1 Nottingham Forest away, and lost 15 points in the last 8 rounds.

In contrast, Manchester City won 11 consecutive victories in the Premier League, reached the final in both the Champions League and the FA Cup, and reached the end in the case of three-line operations, which is expected to hit the triple crown.

It has been 19 years since Arsenal last won the Premier League title in 2003-04.

Pochettino has agreed that Chelsea will sign Inter goalkeeper Onana this summer, while Eduardo Mendi and kovacic will leave Stamford Bridge.

Pochettino has agreed to start coaching the Blues next season, and he is expected to fly from Spain to England next week to finalize the terms of the deal and outline his requirements for the position of head coach.

Chelsea and Inter Milan have started talks on Lu Kaku, and Lu Kaku will return to Stamford Bridge after a season on loan. Lu Kaku joined Chelsea for 97.5 million pounds two years ago, but he returned to Inter Milan on loan before the start of this season because his performance failed to meet expectations.

The Blues hope to continue to invest this summer. It has been determined that the goalkeeper’s situation is a key signing area, and at least one of Kepa and Mendi will leave this summer. Inter Milan’s Onana is Chelsea’s main target, and the Blues are willing to exchange kovacic for the goalkeeper. Kovacic’s contract expires in 2024, but Lu Kaku’s future is still uncertain.

According to reports, Chelsea had previously offered to exchange Ruben Chick, Chaloba or Mendi for Onana, but it failed. Kovacic is the latest candidate proposed by Chelsea, and it is reported that he is open to the transfer.

Onana, 27, joined Inter Milan from Ajax last summer. He played for Ajax for 214 times, and this season he played for Inter Milan for 38 times.

Generative AI is getting more and more popular. Is this really a good business?

Recently, AI painting is on fire.

By inputting some words, AI can generate an image that matches the words in a few seconds. These images are wild, and some are even bizarre. For example, people have extra fingers on their hands, and their fingers bend unnaturally. Even, AI can generate some meaningless billboards and alphabets that humans have never seen before.

Although AI painting is outrageous, it has set off a wave of science and technology: the spring of generative AI has come.

David Beisel, a venture capitalist at NextView Ventures, said that in the past three months, the word "generative AI" once became a hot word. Moreover, the generative AI technology has developed rapidly and the market enthusiasm is so high that many people even quit their jobs to start a business in this field.

There is no doubt that AI has been in a prosperous stage in the past five years or so, but most of these past advances have to do with understanding the existing data-for example, the AI model has been able to quickly and efficiently identify whether there are only cats in your mobile phone photos. However, the generative AI model generates something completely new that has never been seen before. In other words, generative AI is not just about analyzing existing data, but creating.

Boris Dayma, founder of Craiyon generative AI, believes that "generative AI is not only creating old images, but also creating many new things, which are completely different from what we have seen before."

Sequoia Capital also said in a blog post on its website: "Generative AI has the potential to create trillions of dollars in economic value." Sequoia Capital predicts that generative AI may change all industries that require human beings to create original works, from games to advertising to the legal profession. It is worth mentioning that Sequoia Capital also pointed out in its blog post that this message was partly written by GPT-3 (GPT-3 is a generative AI capable of generating text).

Working principle of generative AI

In the past, deep learning technology was widely used to train the model on large data sets. When the program understands the relationships in these data, the model can be applied to actual scenes, such as identifying whether there is a dog in a picture or translating text, and so on.

The working principle of the image generator is to reverse this process. For example, instead of translating English into French, it translates English phrases into images. Specifically, it usually has two main parts, one is to process initial phrases, and the other is to convert data into images.

At first, generative AI was based on a method called GAN, that is, the generative adversarial network. In essence, this method is to make two artificial intelligence models compete with each other to better create images that meet the target.

At present, generative AI is usually based on Transformer, such as image generator DALL-E and so on. DALL-E was first created by OpenAI in 2021, and in 2022, OpenAI released DALL-E 2.

Christian Cantrell, a developer who focuses on generative AI, said: "With DALL-E 2, we can really cross uncanny valley." (The Valley of Terror theory is a hypothesis about human perception of robots and non-human objects. It was put forward by Japanese robot expert Masahiro Mori in 1970. )

Another commonly used AI-based image generator is Craiyon (formerly known as DALL-E Mini), where users can enter phrases in the browser and see the illustrations it generates within a few minutes.

According to Dayma, since its launch in July 2021, Craiyon has produced about 10 million unprecedented pictures every day, which adds up to 1 billion. Earlier this year, the use of Crayon soared, and Dayma also took Crayon as its full-time job. In addition, Dayma has created a Twitter account to post the weirdest and most creative pictures generated by Craiyon. For example, ketchup comes out of the tap on the Italian sink.

In addition, Stable Diffusion has also received wide attention. The project was released in August this year and has been open source on GitHub. Developers can run the project on computers, not just in the cloud or through programming interfaces. For example, Stable Diffusion can be integrated into Adobe Photoshop by plug-in, allowing users to generate backgrounds and other parts of images, and use layers and other Photoshop tools to operate in applications.

Cantrell, the developer of the plug-in, said, "I want to meet these creative professionals, so that they can introduce artificial intelligence into their creative work, instead of destroying their work."

It is understood that Cantrell has worked for Adobe for 20 years. After leaving in 2022, Cantrell focused on the direction of generative AI. Cantrell said that Stable Diffusion has been downloaded tens of thousands of times, and artists told him that they used this plug-in in many unexpected places, such as making Godzilla animation or creating pictures of Spider-Man.

Start-up companies get together

Some investors regard generative AI as a potentially transformative change, just like the early development of smart phones or the Internet. This kind of transformation has greatly expanded the potential market of this technology.

"Before that, artificial intelligence was not unprecedented. Before 2007, we were not without mobile devices, "said Beisel, a seed investor." But at this moment, everything came together. The final consumer can experience and see something different from before. "

Cantrell believes that machine learning is similar to a more basic technology: database. "Machine learning is a bit like a database, which opens up a whole new world for network applications. All the applications we have used in our life are built on the database. But no one cares about how the database works. People only know how to use it. "

Michael Dempsey, managing partner of Compound VC, said that in the past, it was "very rare" for laboratory technology to enter the mainstream, but at present, generative AI has attracted wide attention of venture capitalists. Nevertheless, he warned that the current generative AI may be in the "curious stage" near the peak of the hype cycle, and the companies established at this stage may fail because they don’t focus on the specific uses that enterprises or consumers are willing to pay for.

Others in the industry believe that startups that can apply new technologies such as generative AI today may challenge technology giants such as Google, Meta and Microsoft in the future.

At present, many companies applying generative AI technology have already received large amount of financing, and their valuations have also risen. For example, earlier this year, Hugging Face was valued at $2 billion after receiving investments including Lux Capital and Sequoia Capital; OpenAI has also received more than $1 billion from Microsoft and Khosla Ventures.

In addition, according to Forbes, Stability AI, the developer of Stable Diffusion, is negotiating with investment institutions to raise up to $1 billion in venture capital.

Cloud vendors and chip vendors will benefit.

Besides start-ups, cloud service providers such as Amazon, Microsoft and Google can also benefit from it, because generative AI may require a huge amount of computation.

Meta and Google have also taken action and started recruiting talents. In September of this year, Meta released an artificial intelligence application called "Make-A-Video", which can generate videos, which makes the generative AI technology a step further.

"This is a great progress," Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, posted on his Facebook page. "It is much more difficult to generate videos than photos, because besides correctly generating each pixel, the system must also predict how they will change over time."

Recently, Google matched with Meta and released a program code called Phenaki, which can also convert text into video and generate several minutes of footage.

This craze may also boost chip manufacturers such as Nvidia, AMD and Intel, because the advanced graphics processors produced by these companies are ideal for training and deploying artificial intelligence models.

At a recent meeting, Huang Renxun, CEO of Nvidia, emphasized that generative AI is the key use of the company’s latest chip, and he said that this kind of program may "revolutionize communication" soon.

At present, there are not many uses of generative AI that can generate commercial benefits. Many exciting breakthroughs today come from free or low-cost experiments. For example, some writers have tried to use image generator to generate images for articles. An example of Nvidia is to use a model to generate new 3D images, including people, animals, vehicles or furniture, which can be filled into the virtual game world.

Ethical issues can not be ignored.

While generating AI excites the industry, the ethical issues it brings are also worthy of attention.

The first is employment. Compared with professional illustrators, generative AI is obviously cheaper. Therefore, generative AI is likely to rob artists, video producers and other people engaged in creative work of their "rice bowls".

In addition, there are complex problems in originality and ownership of the content created by generative AI.

Generated AI is trained on a large number of images. Therefore, it is still controversial whether the creator of the original image has copyright requirements for the generated new image.

Some time ago, an artist won an art competition in Colorado, and his winning image was created by a generative AI named MidJourney. After winning, the artist said in an interview that he selected one image from hundreds of images generated by himself and post-processed it in Photoshop.

It is worth mentioning that some images generated by Stable Diffusion are watermarked, which indicates that some of the original data sets are copyrighted. Previously, Getty Images (a picture trading company based in Seattle, USA) announced that it was forbidden for users to upload generated AI pictures to its picture library, because the company was worried that there might be some copyright problems in such pictures. .

With the improvement of image generation software, generative AI may also deceive users, make them believe false information, or display images or videos of events that never happened.

In addition, developers must also deal with the possibility that models trained on a large amount of data may have biases related to gender, race or culture contained in the data, which may cause the models to show such biases in their outputs.

People don’t seem to care much about the future world described in the sci-fi movie The Matrix, but a recent news released on the Meta platform has made people curious about the future world. According to Forbes, a virtual community named Game Free is building a virtual world-"Metauniverse". It has been established for more than ten years, but it is relatively simple compared with the world in the Matrix. What is the magic of meta-universe? Has it become a reality now?

I. Future Society
The idea of "Metauniverse", first put forward by Meta Company, is an expression way to turn people’s vision of the future society into reality. In the setting of X-Men, Professor X has special devices and abilities in real life, and can breathe and move freely, but he can’t turn his control into a real society. The reality is not infinitely close, but gradually close to the ideal society. That is to say, the "infinite approach" pursued by the X-Men is not realistic in real life: it is impossible to turn one person into another; Unable to control human behavior; Unable to control the direction of people’s actions in reality … eventually led to the X-Men being abandoned by the world. If the X-Men movies are sorted out, it is found that the movies have a clear vision for the future society, then the meta-universe will be closer to the real state in reality: on the one hand, the meta-universe, as a virtual space, can be infinitely connected to the real world; On the other hand, Metauniverse will become the key "cornerstone" for building the infrastructure of human society … So what will human society become in the future?

Second, intelligent hardware
The universe is not only a game world, but also a technology. In MetaUniverse, through various virtual carriers such as games and videos, MetaUniverse players can be immersed in it, which is not only a space for games and entertainment, but also an interactive space for knowledge, skills and contacts. There is a kind of meta-universe in a special sense, which is a "virtual life" mode in which the virtual world and the real world merge, influence, blend, promote and expand with each other. It is a place where people can exchange and interact with each other, acquire knowledge and skills and cultivate friendship in this virtual world. For users, Metauniverse makes itself a "human" character-this is the experience they need in games and the real world. For hardware equipment manufacturers, it is the performance of the product itself besides ensuring entertainment, interaction and other functions.

Third, artificial intelligence
As the core of scientific and technological innovation, artificial intelligence will gradually get more applications in the meta-universe. With the help of human beings, artificial intelligence has developed from relying on single software and single function in the past to the present artificial intelligence. In the future, artificial intelligence will be more dependent on computing power. For example, driverless cars are an attempt to realize barrier-free travel in the meta-universe. Starting from the progress in the field of driverless cars, this paper explores the possible forms that driverless cars may appear in the meta-universe, hoping to provide more exploration space for the meta-universe. It is foreseeable that artificial intelligence will play an important role in the meta-universe in the future.

IV. Conclusion.
With the rise of meta-universe, virtual world has been given more and deeper meanings, and the application of science and technology by human beings has changed from passive acceptance to active creation. At the same time, the lifestyle and experience provided by the virtual world in the meta-universe have greatly enriched human thinking and feelings, and made people interested in a new thing. However, with the development and innovation of technology, this trend will gradually become stable. But we believe that technology is always a double-edged sword. It can bring convenience and benefits to human beings, but it may also bring harm to human beings. Like the future world described in science fiction movies, human beings are sleeping in a dormant warehouse made of machines, and their brains are linked to the meta-universe world, so they live falsely.

From scientist to entrepreneur, Yu Kai is not the first person to "run away" in the field of artificial intelligence.

Despite the previous achievements in scientific research, joining in entrepreneurship means facing the reality of bone feeling.

In March 2015, Yu Kai said in an interview: "If a business can get the resources it deserves to do what it wants, then choose to start a business; If you join a big platform and have more resources to do one thing, then join a big platform. " Sure enough, three months after that, he left Baidu and founded Horizon.

From the initial "no one pays the bill" to October this year, Horizon successfully won the investment of 2.4 billion euros from Volkswagen, setting the largest single investment record for Volkswagen in the past 40 years, and establishing a joint venture company with audi ag’s software company. The transformation of Yu Kai’s identity can be described as unsuccessful.

Before becoming the founder of Horizon, Yu Kai’s label was the top international scholar in the field of machine learning and the main promoter of deep learning technology in China. His published papers were cited more than 20,000 times, and he won the silver award for the best paper in ICML-2013 International Machine Learning Conference. He himself also served as the domain chairman of ICML and NIPS, two major conferences of machine learning.

Yu Kai’s achievements in the academic field go far beyond this.

NEC Research Institute of the United States was once one of the major centers of international machine learning research. During his tenure, Yu Kai established a highly prestigious technology research and development team in Silicon Valley. This team is one of the earliest and most active teams in the field of deep learning in the world. A series of technologies led and developed by him have pushed image object recognition to a new level worldwide, and won many international famous awards.

After joining Baidu in 2012, the voice technology team, deep learning technology team and image technology team led by Yu Kai won the "Baidu’s highest award" three times in succession, creating records of various technical and business teams within Baidu.

In the eyes of outsiders, Yu Kai at that time, both academically and professionally, was smooth sailing.

But at this time, he chose to start a business.

Yu Kai’s reason is straightforward: "In the past three years, what I have done at Baidu is to promote artificial intelligence in the cloud. But I think there will be a bigger trend in the next few years that I have to do: from artificial intelligence in the cloud to artificial intelligence around everyone. "

Therefore, Yu Kai, who has always believed in "doing things is the most important thing", founded Beijing Horizon Information Technology Co., Ltd. in July 2015, focusing on edge computing in the field of artificial intelligence.

From the moment the company was founded, in his own words: First of all, I will forget that I am a scientist more and more.

To be a scientist, you can put the mainexperienceDo research and write papers, but as an entrepreneur, you should focus more on business and customer needs.

Yu Kai has always wanted to grasp some "truth" things in this process, for example, things that can really create long-term value. With this idea in mind, at the beginning of Horizon’s establishment, he played the slogan of "making brains for machines", and avoided the edge of the field giants, took the edge computing route, and insisted on making AI chips.

It was really hard at first.

When recalling the initial stage of starting a business and determining the development direction, Yu Kai mentioned: At that time, we were predicting a far future, a future that might take 20 years as its dimension. From computers to smart phones, and beyond, what is a bigger computing platform than these? At that time, they were sure,beRobot computing platform. AI chip is the indispensable key to realize this calculation.

Now that we hear about AI chips, it’s needless to say its importance. But when Horizon was founded, not every investor could understand the "blueprint" in Yu Kai’s eyes. As a direct result, the horizon was once unsustainable. Until smart cars become "robots"calculate"The first and biggest landing scene at present, everyone began to understand that Yu Kai had bet on it.

In 2020, smart cars ushered in an outbreak period. As a result, there is a global "lack of core" in the automotive industry.question.

A chip with excellent computing power, like a smart brain, can accurately control the behavior of the vehicle. A series of functions, such as environmental awareness, route planning, driving assistance and so on, advertised by smart cars all need to rely on chips to be realized.

This is also consistent with what Yu Kai has always wanted to do. He has always believed that the real significance of artificial intelligence is not to survive and develop as the opposite of human life, but to support people’s decision-making and enhance their ability. Once the smart car scene is broken down, this ability will definitely spill over to others.floatApplication scenario of robot.

In August 2019, Horizon announced the mass production of China’s first car-class AI chip "Journey 2";

In September 2020, Horizon officially launched the AI chip "Journey 3";

In July, 2021, Horizon released "Journey 5", a high-performance and large-computing, full-scene intelligent central computing chip for the whole vehicle.

……

Yu Kai once said, "The course of a scientist’s entrepreneurship is not based on business opportunities,FromStart in the future. "

This cooperation between Horizon and Volkswagen may be the next future in Yu Kai’s plan.
