Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea, made a visit to a flooded area close to China’s border this week to discuss plans to help those affected by recent, heavy rain and floods, including bringing about 15, 400 people to the capital until new homes are constructed, according toContinue Reading
Open supply is where the source code is freely available, allowing people to apply, change, and deliver it. In comparison, closed source is where access to the source code is restricted, preventing additional modifications and additions.
Both have their virtues. Open-source models allow for the use, development, and learning of them by other scientists and designers. However, the amazing character of closed-source versions reduces the risks of use or abuse, and also allowing for more crowdfunding opportunities, reports have stated.
However, both even have their disadvantages. Open-source models frequently rely on volunteers, but closed-source models offer limited power and customization due to restrictions on the teaching data and domestic architecture.
According to some analysts, the current environment in China is divided between t players who favor the open-source approach and those who favor closed-source. CNA was unable to locate any information about the local situation as a whole.
At the current World AI Conference in Shanghai, Mr Robin Li, chairman and CEO of Baidu, argued that the open-source design may be outdated. He claimed that Baidu’s Wenxin 4.0 design, which was more affordable, provided better performance and resilience than open-source designs, and produced better results.
However, this view is contested within the Chinese Artificial area. According to Mr. Fu Sheng, chairman and CEO of Cheetah Mobile and president of Orion Starry Sky, “open-source communities had finally emerge over closed-source types.”
He argued that open-source designs were more useful, saying:” More businesses and companies do not need expensive closed-source 100 billion feature designs, 10 billion feature types are enough”.
Late in April, Alibaba and Baidu were among the first Chinese tech companies to add large language models ( LLMs) from Meta’s open-source LLaMA family to their cloud computing platforms. Immediately, Tencent followed match.
The discussion even revolves around translation and uniqueness. Chinese tech fairy 01 AI was in dispute last year over using LLaMA designs without making it clear. The business apologized and claimed it had no intention of concealing the Artificial model’s source.
There are possible drawbacks, according to experts, even though using existing models to build new ones is a common practice.  ,
It might be dangerous if businesses are unable to comprehend or change these concepts, according to Associate Professor Wai Kin Kong of the Nanyang Technological University’s (NTU) College of Computing and Data Science.
Prof. Li noted that the local community frequently lacks the vision to make designs that bring together the community to solve challenging programming problems, despite Chinese AI players actively using open-source versions and creating their own from scratch.
A champion of the open-source motion, he emphasised the importance of adhering to open-source rules and contributing back to the community.
” We do n’t need 100 large models, a few well-contributed and shared models would be ideal”, Prof Li said.

Ms Feng and her father are from the post-2000s technology, the first of whom entered the job market in 2022, just as China and the universe were coming out of the COVID-19 crisis.
The technology has been described as having the attitude of giving up on a deteriorating scenario and living life as “lying smooth”- only doing enough to get by.
Some young people in China believe they are powerless to overcome obstacles that make societal expectations impossible.
However, Ms. Feng begged to disagree, claiming that her century is a “watershed era” and has the same goals and aspirations as those born in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as a positive attitude.
” People may think that the post-2000s technology only want to ‘ lay flat’, and are willing to go to job and are rebellious towards their bosses”, she said.
” In fact, what all has not seen is how many people from the post-2000s generation work hard and lead happy lives.”
She noted that there is a particular amount to sleep.
She continued,” My generation has the benefit of growing up in a nation that is developing more quickly.”
After sharing their experiences on Chinese social press, Ms. Feng and her husband’s career path has gained popularity. It sparked heated debate on the Internet and received a lot of media attention.
As China’s market enters a crucial phase after decades of slow economic growth, numerous discussions focused on how more younger people are abandoning conventional career paths.
As attitudes toward for job change, Dr. Yu Tao, associate professor of Taiwanese studies at the University of Western Australia, predicted that the trend toward young graduates joining blue-collar positions will increase.
Usually, people thought blue-collar labor meant job having no independence, he noted. However, like in the case of Ms Feng, although the work is actually demanding, those in such tasks have freedom and can directly deal with their clients, he pointed out.
” They feel a sense of ownership of their work, ownership of their existence”, he said.
He added that the era after the 2000s may work hard to earn their respect and freedom.

China’s officials are urging them to stop” throwing eggs,” according to recent back-to-back comments that were published in a state-backed newspaper. They may be concerned about the effects of the changes on employment and potential for fraud.
Far from really throwing egg, the name refers to a famous Chinese poker-like card game called “guandan” which has that precise significance in Chinese.  ,
With 140 million players spread across the country, including businesspeople, youth, and yet major school children, the tactical yet luck-based game has recently taken over the nation.
Guandan has also proved a strike among China’s Communist Party leaders, according to press reports.
The Beijing Youth Daily newspaper published three consecutive commentary articles from Monday ( Aug 5 ) through Wednesday, warning against addiction and defending the card game as another manifestation of “lying-flat culture,” in a sign that authorities are taking notice and are concerned.  ,
In the first of three papers published on its Twitter account, Beijing Youth Daily noted guandan’s quick rise in popularity, and how it has been described as a “healthy and academic form of entertainment”.
Additionally, it was noted that some commentators claimed that the sport is both a” cultural device” for corporate officers and a “required course” for community functionaries.
” However, as ( guandan ) becomes a new obsession for some public officials … individual businessmen… and young people, the guandan addiction has become a social phenomenon worthy of attention and vigilance”, the article stated.
The commentary described how some party members and cadres have become “intoxicated” to the game and how guandan addiction has” corroded” cadres ‘ work ethics.  ,
According to the article, Guandan has also become a social barrier for officials because those who ca n’t play are not welcome at the table, suggesting that non-players lose out on establishing closer networks.
Known as “guanxi” in Chinese, creating relationships is seen as important in China for opening windows in company and other interactions.
In yet another remark on Tuesday, the state-backed paper retorted its criticism. It criticised the pattern of “lying-flat” or “tangping”, claiming that with the reputation of guandan in the past two times,” some people have taken advantage of the situation to ‘ lay even deceive'”.  ,
” When the tangping mentality meets guandan culture, leisure and entertainment becomes the most important thing ( in people’s minds )”, the commentary stated.
