Self-explanatory

A tweet by Chinese Embassy in Ireland

"Who is the wolf?

Some people accused China for so-called "wolf warrior diplomacy". In his well-known fable, Aesop described how the Wolf accused the Lamb of committing offences. The wolf is the wolf, not the lamb. BTW, China is not a lamb."

*搜索引擎结果不比AI差

对这些不知是不关心还是根本没有了解只看得到各种人积极地用着各种LLM 在国内/简中语境中 “我问DeepSeek/ChatGPT(或者Gemini之类的其他LLM)...”已经成了一种常态
按我自己的价值取向当然认为GenAI产生的各种环境和人文代价是完全不能忽视的且不值得的

想说一个现实经历自从DeepSeek出来以后我妈不知是受谁的影响(可能是她们单位的很多同事吧)任何问题都去问DeepSeek 我发现她这个习惯后跟她不知讲了多少为什么我建议她不去用这个东西不仅结果并不比搜索引擎差而且会削弱人的思考能力各方面负面影响也都说了但最后只是左耳进右耳出一样的结果

TL;DR Self-actualisation is completely possible as long as one is not in survival mode materialistically or mentally(=have safety), and vice versa being in survival mode is the only thing that prevents self-actualisation

Maslow's hierarchy of needs concept is missing something massive when it comes to the human experience...

Everything that happens BEFORE a person's basic needs are met (the bottom tier of the pyramid).

I don't see self-actualization as a far fetched, nearly impossible goal that most people will never be able to achieve.

(Which is very much the case with Maslow's theory if you apply it to real life circumstances.)

突然想写一些东西
价值观上的鸿沟有时并不只是由年龄不同产生的在国内语境下经常看到很多人说自己和父母在一些特定话题上的代沟我自己当然也有但有时候我和一些国内(或国内出身)的同龄人在特定议题上也有代沟一般的感受
我想说的就是生成式AI的使用很多人都知道在国内GenAI被当作一种需要积极运用且被认为有前景的新科技对待GenAI积极的态度是绝对主流但是在世界上其他地方明显并非如此很多国家的人尤其是年轻人都意识到GenAI有不可忽视的环境代价和人文代价和在中国这种形势一片大好的景象产生极大的反差在国内的语境中几乎不会看到有人讨论GenAI的消极面和创造这个技术产品所产生的各种具体的代价

@chenchenzhang.net

there are two Chinese terms for vitreous enamel 搪瓷 tangci and 珐琅 falang. and the cultures associated with each can't be more different.
tangci is symbolic of proletariat, revolutionary culture, widely used as everyday household items before the 2000s. now they have a comeback as part of the retro

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics
