Japanese Football Changed by Animation

  Guangming Daily reporter Wang Dong

  When the fans were still immersed in the discussion that Saudi Arabia beat Argentina, the favourite to win the championship, the Japanese team took the lead and beat Germany, another powerful team, 2-1.

  The same score is 2-1, and the same is a reversal victory. The victories of Saudi Arabia and Japan not only make the qualifying situation of their groups different, but also make the world feel the rise of Asian football.

  Speaking of the development of the Japanese team, we can’t help but mention an anime work more than 40 years ago: "Football Young".

  In 1981, Soccer Kid made many Japanese children turn their interest from baseball to football. In 1993, the Japanese professional football league started, which also marked the change of Japanese football from specialization to professionalism, and most of the players were the children who changed from baseball field to football field under the influence of Soccer Young. It was also in this year’s World Cup qualifiers that Japan lost the ball at the last minute and was blocked from the World Cup finals.

  In 1997, Japan defeated Iran 3-2 at the last minute and qualified for the first time from the Asian regional qualifiers. In the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, the host Japanese team qualified from the group for the first time and reached the top 16 of the World Cup. In the next 20 years, Japan never missed the World Cup finals. What supports the Japanese team to become a frequent visitor to the World Cup is the increasingly strong football atmosphere in Japan and the substantial increase in the domestic football population.

  How many football people are there in Japan? In 2005, the Japanese Football Association issued the "2050 Manifesto", saying that by 2050, they will win the World Cup and have a football population of more than 10 million. Only five years later, the Japanese Football Association revealed that their football population had reached 4.8 million.

  In addition to the increase in the football population, in recent years, more young players have gone abroad to join overseas high-level professional football clubs: in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, 14 of the Japanese team played overseas; 2018 fifa world cup, a total of 18 people in their squad play for European football clubs; This year, 20 players have played for European clubs.

  Over the years, Japanese football has cultivated a number of players who have traveled to Europe through unremitting efforts, and accumulated experience in fighting against strong teams and high-intensity confrontation skills.

  In the last World Cup, Japan, which qualified from the group for the third time and entered the knockout stage, met Belgium, the favorite team to win the championship in the eighth final. They once led by two goals and entered the quarterfinals with one foot, but they were finally reversed by the "European Red Devils" with three goals.

  This time, the Japanese team that participated in FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 has a stronger lineup in Europe, and their style of play is very advanced. From the match with Germany, we can see that today’s Japanese team is becoming more mature and sophisticated.

  The victories of Saudi Arabia and Japan are tantamount to a shot in the arm for the weak Asian football as a whole. However, unlike Saudi Arabia’s defeat of Argentina, which is generally regarded as a "shocking surprise", the Japanese team has long regarded defeating Germany and other world powers as the goal before the game, and even threatened to complete a big victory. This is by no means an individual’s imagination, but a reflection of their strength in becoming a football power.

  40 years ago, in "Young Soccer Players", there was also a scene in which Japan and West Germany confronted each other. In that cartoon, the Japanese team led by Tsubasa Oozora finally defeated the West Germany team led by Schneider. Today, Schneider’s prototype, rummenigge, is only 67 years old, and the story that was regarded as a myth by fans in the past has been turned into reality by the Japanese team.

Love is just: the best love never needs to be defined.

Original title: "Love is just", the best love is never defined.


"The biggest advantage of this drama is that it restores the original appearance of love." Spring blossoms, an urban love drama deus ex, won the praise of the audience. The play tells the story of the mutual understanding and love between Song Sanchuan, a badminton tennis player, and Liang Youan, a professional manager with special assistance from the president. In the play, they are sincere and enthusiastic, not afraid of love and dare not to love. They are the long-lost "sunshine" in each other’s lives, and they have seen a positive and beautiful love and restored the living conditions of contemporary urban youth.

Compared with other urban love dramas, "Love Is Just" swept away the stereotype of the audience on urban love dramas in the past. On the contrary, it was a "firework spirit" that was closer to life and paid more attention to the characters themselves. Liang Youan, the heroine, appeared as a "32-year-old single woman for five years" in the workplace, but such working and living conditions often troubled this gold medal employee. In the application for adopting a puppy, Liang Youan revealed that "I am eager to go home every day and someone will feel the sense of healing", and the encounter between the hero and heroine is actually the "sunshine" to illuminate each other’s lives, and it is a panacea to untie the "heart knot" and open the "bottleneck". I still remember at the launching ceremony of Love, the head of the team said, "I hope many women can get rid of the autism of intimate relationship, brave enough to love." From the experience of watching the drama, the slow plot rhythm is the way for the screenwriter to show the delicate feelings of the characters in the drama, and it also has a certain healing effect.

It is not difficult to find that Song Sanchuan and Liang Youan have similar life experiences and circumstances, which is also an important factor in their final "chemical reaction". In the plot structure, the screenwriter interweaves the emotional views of people aged "20+" and "30+", which makes the audience full of imagination for the plot. However, across age and occupation, they all show a new atmosphere of young people who dare to challenge themselves and constantly overcome difficulties and meet challenges in pursuit of life value, which also resonates with many people in the workplace and young people.

There are too many forms of love, and the best love in Love is a positive force generated by "same frequency resonance". While welcoming sweet love, they are also faced with conflicts of ideas and experiences. They surpass themselves again and again in coping with challenges, strengthen mutual trust, and finally gain career growth and beautiful love. Such a view of love can be used for reference among young people, just as psychologist Li Songwei said, "Intimate relationship is a healthy relationship first, and love is not necessary." Indeed, love must be tacit, just like meeting by chance. When deciding to give confidence to each other, age, identity and occupation become unimportant.

Liang Youan’s unique temperament is precisely the undoubted energy of working women in the new era, and we can’t help but feel sorry for Liang Youan’s family misfortune, unfair treatment in the workplace and emotional experience. At the same time, her ability to deal with trivial matters in life and her rare sobriety in the face of complex situations deserve our admiration.

"Love is just" is not just love. The connotation of the plot extends to every corner of the workplace, love and life faced by young people. It is precisely from its character quality and core that we can truly understand "Love is just".

In the plot, there is almost no greasy inherent image of brother-sister love, and whether the dreamy combination of Liang Youan and Song Sanchuan can really land in real life is worth discussing by the audience and netizens.

As an exploration of the narrative structure and plot grasp of the emotional urban drama of brother and sister, "Love Just" has also caused some disputes on the idealization of the plot, the actor’s sense of CP, acting skills and other issues, but it is undeniable that its concept of love and outlook on life is a kind of spiritual communication under mutual equality, and it constantly challenges the limits to become a better self, and it is a sincere work with a good impression and experience for young people at the crossroads of love.

London football: Tottenham’s priority in the winter window is central defender, and midfield and striker may also be introduced.

Live broadcast on November 3, according to the analysis of London football, Tottenham’s winter window should reinforce three positions: central defender, midfielder and striker.

centre halfback

The priority of Tottenham Hotspur’s Winter Window is central defender. Romero and Van der Waen have performed well together, but they still need to introduce a new central defender. The team’s Summer Window has been rumored with Adala Biow of Fulham and Kelly of Bournemouth. Now it is necessary to consider whether Winter Window will sign in the Premier League or go to other leagues to find a target.

midfield region

At present, Tottenham Hotspur have enough midfielders, but due to the influence of the African Cup of Nations, they will lose Sal and Bisuma in January, and the return of Bentancur will bring great help. However, considering the situation of Sal and Bisuma, Tottenham may reinforce the midfield in the winter window.

vanguard

Signing a new striker in January may also be one of Tottenham’s priorities. Both Perisic and Solomon are plagued by injuries. Sun Xingyu also needs to participate in the Asian Cup. They need to add another striker. A striker who can play on the wing and in the middle will help Postecoglou.

10 open world games that must be played in this life! Each one can be played for a long time

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 ~

Generative AI stands on the cusp: Silicon Valley bets that future technology giants will shuffle?

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.

Urban governance rule of law: take the "Shanghai Domestic Waste Management Regulations" as an example

Since the reform and opening up, the urban management of Shanghai can be divided into three stages: the initial stage of reform and opening up to 2000, the construction management is cracked by solving the "three difficulties" (difficulty in transportation, housing difficulties, and environmental difficulties). With people -oriented, management as the first, safety as the first, to welcome the "Expo" event and consolidate "comprehensive management" as the main task; since 2017, it has entered refined management to make good use of the "three hearts and one needle" (embroidery -like " Carefulness, patience, excellence, and embroidery needle), build four beams and eight pillars.

After more than forty years of practice and exploration, Shanghai has accumulated rich experience in the process of dealing with various complex problems operating in large cities, and conducted a comprehensive exploration in the refinement of urban management.

In 2021, the Shanghai Housing and Urban -Rural Development Management Committee organized the writing "Exploration and Practice Series of the Construction of" People’s City "in the New Era". Strengthen the refined work of urban management and promote the exploration and practice of people’s urban construction. The book uses the four main "needle methods": rule of law, standardization, intelligence, and socialization (fourizations), combined with cases to detailed how Shanghai performs refined management.

In the chapter of the "rule of the rule of law" the "warning line" of urban management, the writing group cuts in from the legislative, revision, law enforcement and law popularization of the city management field in Shanghai, analyzes the application of the rule of law thinking in the management process, and confirms the construction of the rule of law. Fundamental role in urban management. We have edited some of the contents of this chapter, explained the necessity of rule of law in urban management, and selected one of the most representative cases in order to readers.

For a long time, Shanghai has always regarded the rule of law as an important cornerstone of the construction of governance systems and governance capabilities, based on the management needs of oversized cities, and continuously refining and optimizing the guarantee of legal systems.

In early 2021, driving into the Fenhu Daokou of the G50 Shanghai -Chongqing High Speed ??Speed ??and entering the boundary of Shanghai, Mr. Lin, who was sitting in the co -driver, received a text message- "The Regulations on the Administration of Shanghai Public Health Emergency" will be implemented on November 1, 2020. Everyone is responsible for preventing and controlling and controlling it according to law. Strengthen self -health management, strengthen self -protection awareness, wash hands, divide hands, use public chopstick spoons. Enter the airport, railway station, bus, subway and other public places to wear masks as required to maintain social distance ""

"It is illegal to wear a mask in Shanghai in public places." Mr. Lin turned his head and told his friends and took out the mask from his pocket.

The "Regulations on the Administration of Public Health Emergency" clearly stipulates that during the popularity of respiratory infectious diseases, entering public places should be worn in accordance with the requirements and maintain a social distance. Today, wearing a mask in public places is not only a civilized habit, but also a legal obligation that Shanghai citizens should adhere to.

How to use the rule of law thinking and the rule of law to regulate the public order of the city, so that the law can be dependent on, and the law is based on the law. It is an inevitable requirement and important content of the construction and management of modern cities. From the perspective of the refined goals of urban management, the accuracy and effectiveness of management methods should meet the basic requirements of standardized implementation, and the standardization of the means requires the establishment, sound, and perfect legal and regulatory system to enhance the particle size and refinement of legal resources With high rigorous rules and the spirit of the rule of law, it provides a solid institutional foundation and exquisite behavioral guidance for the efficient operation of urban management. On the one hand, we can rule the people and the people in accordance with the law, and use laws and regulations to restrict the behavior of citizens; on the other hand, in accordance with the right to rule, govern officials, regulate the behavior of government agencies and their public officials, and use laws and regulations to control the exercise of public power. It can be said that the process of continuous improvement of the rule of law in urban management itself is an important practice of the concept of "the people of the people’s city and the people’s city for the people".

The standardization of management methods is also conducive to overcoming the disadvantages of sports and empirical governance, and improving the long -term and stability of urban governance. The content of the standardized management methods also includes the clear division of the rights and obligations of various types of public affairs and the supply of public services, and the determination of organizational management and operating rules provides behavioral specifications for various governance subjects, and provides public rights of the public. Standards and basis, guide urban management laws and regulations to become social consensus and behavioral rules.

For the government, the rule of law of management methods lies in clarifying its responsibilities and their behavioral standards, accelerating the transformation of government functions, and promoting the original inherent leadership decision -making government to the legal decision -making government through the construction of the rule of law. For citizens, as the main body of the city, citizens have the right to also obliges to improve the literacy and legal awareness of the rule of law, can establish reasonable expectations for administrative processes and management effects, and achieve effective supervision of public administration. It can be seen that the rule of law is the core symbol of urban competitiveness and the dazzling business card for urban governance.

The ideal state of rule of law is "the law can be prohibited, and the law is prohibited without authorization." To achieve this goal, the lack of legislation, law enforcement, and law general law is indispensable. Especially for Shanghai with the inheritance of sea -faction culture, its regional culture itself has a basis for contract civilization.

Shanghai is the first city in the country to implement garbage classification. From July 1, 2019 to the present, it has formed a situation of Shanghai demonstration and onlookers in the country. For Shanghai, legislation is both the task required by superiors, but also the endogenous demand generated by garbage classification to a certain stage. Up to now, the "Regulations on the Management of Shanghai Municipal Lomitic waste" have been implemented for more than two years, and the garbage classification has entered the daily life of each Shanghai person. It shows the civilization of the city.

Case: Fine Management -Taking the "Regulations on the Management of Shanghai Municipal Links" as an example

From 2005 to 2010, the average annual growth rate of Shanghai’s domestic waste was about 3%, the average annual growth rate from 2011-2017 was 4%, and the annual growth rate after 2014 reached 5%. And the traditional garbage treatment method, whether it is incineration or landfill, will bring obvious problems: occupying tens of thousands of acres of land, mosquito flies fly chaotic, sewage overflows, smells of the sky, seriously pollute the soil and groundwater environment … The number of garbage is still threatening the lives of various wild animals, and the garbage in rivers and oceans invades the habitat of aquatic creatures, causing them to die by mistake and even species extinction. At the same time, the two evils brought by the waste incineration are one of the most deadly toxic substances on the earth. After the incineration is discharged and discharged, it can diffuse from a long distance. Once the pollutants enter the human body, they will stay for a long time and eventually cause cancer. "Garbage siege" has been "under the city."

Promoting garbage classification can effectively improve the efficiency of garbage treatment, reduce treatment costs, reduce land consumption and environmental pollution, drive circular economy, save resources, and turn waste into treasures, and have the benefits of social, economic and ecological aspects. However, in order to do a good job of domestic waste, we must change people’s behavior habits and require a long -term process. Refined governance of domestic garbage in other countries often go through decades or even longer efforts. Therefore, the legislative work of the garbage classification is not only the need to mobilize the entire force, but also the most powerful education and guidance of this work and the most powerful education and control.

On the basis of a large -scale questionnaire survey and full review, Shanghai people have reviewed and approved the "Shanghai Municipal Home Wurns Management Regulations" greater than January 2019. It is announced that it will be officially implemented on July 1, 2019. Enter the "hard constraint" era.

The legislation clarified several priorities in Shanghai’s garbage classification work. One is how to divide it? Shanghai has been exploring garbage classification since the 1990s. After several changes, in 2011, it was determined to be recyclable, harmful garbage, wet garbage, and dry garbage. During the review of the regulations, the Standing Committee of the Municipal People’s Congress designed a set of questionnaires for the general public, and the results showed that most citizens expressed their recognition of the "four -point method".

Shanghai domestic waste classification and launch guide

Who will control it? At the three levels of the city, district, and streets, the regulations stipulate the management model of "combination and block", and clarify the work content of the street office and the township people’s governments. One by one. For example, units and individuals who generate domestic waste are the responsible subjects of classification and distribution. They should put domestic waste to the corresponding collecting containers; each launching point shall establish a classification and distribution management responsible person to clarify their rights and obligations; For garbage, the receiving unit can refuse to receive it. If it does not make corrections within the time limit, it can be fined.

The third is how to do the source reduction? The regulations include specific matters including promoting product packaging materials and reduction of express packaging. For example, hotels must not take the initiative to provide disposable daily necessities, catering service providers and catering distribution service providers must not proactively provide free disposable chopsticks, puffing and other tableware. In Shanghai, when using APP such as "Hungry" or "Meituan", each merchant must provide special tableware options and give reminders to "provide on -demand".

Fourth, how to achieve "closed loop" management? The regulations strictly standardize and transport and transport, and clarify that the receiving units must use special vehicles and ships to implement closed transportation. Realization of the whole process.

After the "Shanghai Municipal Domestic Waste Management Regulations" was officially implemented, a public account article entitled "A picture to understand Shanghai’s domestic garbage classification" was crazy "swipe the screen" in the circle of friends. Someone teased that the "magic people" was "mad" by the garbage classification. Every morning, when they went out, they had to accept the soul torture of "what garbage was".

Mobilization and ridicule, but if you go to the community and ask "whether the garbage classification is good", even the seventh or eighty -year -old grandma will answer you: "Okay! Now the environment is so serious, Allah is obliged to contribute to environmental protection." Since the implementation of more than two years, garbage classification has entered the daily life of every Shanghai people. Everyone is proud of "division", ashamed of "indiscriminate".

Observing all corners of Shanghai, you can find many places that are changing because of garbage classification: Located on the coast of the East China Sea and 70 kilometers from the southeast of the city center -this "digestion" of about 50%of the domestic garbage terminal treatment in Shanghai The landfills have become the ecological protection display window of green surroundings; Xinyixiu Village, which has achieved "wet garbage cannot be out of the community", Aunt Hou voted to the wet garbage in the community’s trash tank, and the intensive processing of intelligent equipment was treated with concentrated treatment 4 hours later, it became organic fertilizer, and was taken home by Aunt Hou to raise flowers. At the Century Lianhua Luban shop after the "Plastics Limit Order", the counter was carefully prepared on the counter. Packing for customers to use …

Shanghai Old Port Ecological Environmental Protection Base is the world’s largest waste incineration plant and medical waste disposal facility

Xinyu Liu Village "Wet garbage does not get out of the community"

The changes that occurred in factories, communities, supermarkets, and landfills are the true portrayal of the participation and control of the whole people. As of the end of 2020, Shanghai has initially established a full -process classification system to achieve 100%harmless treatment of domestic garbage. Both residential and unit domestic waste classification standards have doubled more than 95%, and the recycling rate of domestic waste resources has reached 38%. Garbage classification makes Shanghai more livable and more temperature.Please clickhereOr scan the code to buy to understand the exploration of refined city management in Shanghai:
