Let's snap our fingers in resonance.
Things that are far away will be shattered.
The people in front of them didn't know ...... at this time
In 2023, "The Long Season" has snapped its fingers in many people's hearts. This year,We have seen many distant things shattered, the old order is no more, and the new order is future.
Source: The long season of the web series As Elias Canetti said:The old answer falls apart, and the new one has not yet been found. Confusion, confusion, and uncertainty not only belong to the fate of individuals, but also integrate into the theme of the times.
ChatGPT fire, Zibo barbecue swiping, real estate changes ......The future and the past are intertwined, pain and hope coexist.
At this special juncture, we stand at the beginning of the new year and the end of the old year, and hereby look back on those people and things in 2023, and look back on the individuals and times that are closely related to us, and may this become our courage to continue to move forward.
The first year of ChatGPTIn 2017, at the Global Mobile Internet Conference in Beijing, Stephen Hawking on the other side of the ocean delivered a speech through the big screen:
"The success of artificial intelligence may be the biggest event in the history of human civilization. But AI could also be the end of the history of human civilization unless we learn how to avoid danger
Prior to this, Hawking had expressed concern about the development of artificial intelligence more than once.
Artificial intelligence can be a "real danger". Robots may find ways to improve themselves, and those improvements don't always benefit humans.
Musk issued a direct warning in 2015:AI is the biggest risk to human civilization.
However, in the same year, he and several tech giants invested $1 billion to found OpenAI. In 2023, the company's release of ChatGPT sparked a global storm.
If in the past, people stayed in the imagination stage about the power of AI, then ChatGPT provides a specific reference object for everyone.
Source: Musk, the owner of station b UP "Du Enze and I embrace AI together", has withdrawn from the board of directors of OpenAI, Harari, the author of "A Brief History of Mankind", and thousands of other people in the science and technology community, such as Turing Award winner Joshua Bengio, have called for -"Please pause the GPT study"!
The bigwigs' worries are well documented.
Because we humans are biologically limited, our IQ has been 100 points for generations. But AI doesn't have this limitation, when its IQ reaches 500 points, 1000 pointsCan we still understand it?Does AI create consciousness?Will it wipe out humanity?
Many science fiction movies have given some similar conjectures. Howl, the famous artificial intelligence villain in "2001: A Space Odyssey", appeared "insane" when he led humans to explore extraterrestrial civilizations, trying to kill all humans on the spaceship;
The artificial intelligence robot Ultron in Avengers 2, after continuous self-evolution, finally broke away from the original intention of the creator and began to implement a plan to eliminate humans.
In reality, experts such as Nick Burström believe that once artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence, it is very likely that it will directly eliminate humans. It does this because it may fear that humanity will fight back and pull the plug from it, and because it pursues something we can't imagine now.
But the flip side of the truth is that humans have never made an egg so far. We can build lithography machines, we can build spaceships, but we can't build a cat, because cats are far more complex than spaceships.
Can human beings create intelligent life that is higher than themselves, such as AI that surpasses human beings? This is still an unknown.
But just as the reason why "The Three-Body Problem" has been selling well for many years and has been prosperous for a long time, the survival and future of human beings is an eternal topic.
In the future, when human civilization and AI civilization meet, and silicon-based life and carbon-based life coexist, what will the world look like?
Although Musk pessimistically believes thatHumans are just bootstraps for silicon-based life, but everything remains to be answered in the future.
In 2023, ChatGPT, which was born, is just a starting point of the long AI era.
Zibo barbecue dominates the screenIn March this year, together with ChatGPT, there was also Zibo barbecue.
Cake oven with dipping sauce, soul grill three-piece set ......"When Zibo was at its hottest, there were long queues at almost all barbecue restaurants. Many of the charcoal burners in the store have been blackened several degrees.
The data is more intuitiveIn March this year, the search volume of the keyword "Zibo barbecue" on the whole platform increased by more than 770% year-on-year. On major social platforms, you can see special forces who come to Zibo everywhere.
Source: Qidian Zibo "The last time Zibo was so lively, it was still in Qi country".
What made Zibo popular this time, in addition to barbecue, there is also local **. In order to facilitate the tourists who come to check in, Zibo has specially customized the "barbecue map", established a barbecue association, added 21 barbecue bus lines, and the "barbecue special train" from Jinan to Zibo, which was praised by the majority of netizens.
There are many tourists who have not yet arrived in Zibo, but they have received a warm feed from the Zibo Culture and Tourism Bureau on the high-speed rail, and they have received special products and gift bags.
In order to let everyone eat at ease, the local leaders resolutely released cruel words:Whoever dares to smash our Zibo barbecue pot, we will smash someone's rice bowl.
Then the merchants received the documents, and anyone who cheated people would close the door immediately as long as they were caughtIt is strictly forbidden for taxis to not use the meter, refuse to take and other behaviors, and will stop directly once they are complainedAt the entrance of the Internet celebrity barbecue compound, there are at least three types of personnel ...... police, industry and commerce, and service
Merchants are also very competitive, and some stores really can't sit down, so they try their best to recommend other stores to tourists:"Let's go to other homes to eat, the barbecue in Zibo is delicious"!They have opened stores not only to make money for themselves, but to win the reputation of the city of Zibo.
Source: Xinhua News Agency Zibo citizens have also contributed, when the accommodation industry was crowded, many citizens rented out their vacant rooms to entertain foreign tourists;
In order to keep the city clean, some people go home from work to pick up garbage along the road;
There are even locals who work as waiters for free for 3 hours at a barbecue restaurant full of tourists from other places.
Even on the streets, charging sockets are arranged for passers-by and tourists to charge at any time.
Whether it is hard-core security or humanistic warmth, Zibo has done everything that can be thought of and can be done. The final result is that the whole city is united, and Zibo is on fire.
The fireworks in the world are the most soothing to the hearts of mortals. Behind the fireworks is a city's determination and strength to fight for the economy after the epidemic is over.
* Setting up the stage, the people singing, and the popularity of Zibo barbecue are also the accumulation of Zibo's decades of optimizing the business environment.
As early as 2019, a group photo at the Zibo City Entrepreneur Conference was very popular in the local area, in the group photo, the entrepreneurs stood in the front row, and the city leaders stood in the back row"Entrepreneurs should stand in the front row, and leaders should stand in the background and be the backing."
The construction of the business environment needs to be service-oriented, taking the Zibo barbecue fever as an example, such as the opening of barbecue trains, cracking down on stealing customers, and a series of service-oriented support policies, coupled with the efforts of the market, to create a fertile "business soil".
In 2023, Zibo barbecue is not actually food, not a city, but essentially "Zibo service".

Shi Jingqian, a famous American historian, has studied Chinese history for many years, and he has always been able to tell the intricate historical events in a storytelling wayWriting about people is the most prominent feature of his historical writings, and it is also his eternal theme.
In his eyes, history is the history of people, and people occupy the "center" of history. And what his book wants to tell people is:How people in history live and think in different times and in different environments with their own endowments, and realize the journey of their lives and the value of existence.
These people who have passed away have different meanings of life, and they have all left a strong mark in this world.

Real estate changesReal estate is a topic that cannot be avoided in 2023.
Change is a key word that real estate can't get around in 2023.
On July 24, the Politburo meeting proposed for the first time that "major changes have occurred in the supply and demand relationship of China's real estate market".
At the end of September, Xu Jiayin, the most representative figure in the real estate era, was taken compulsory measures in accordance with the law. Since then, a hurricane era has slowly come to an end, and a new era has slowly unfolded.
Over the past 20 years, the rapid development of the real estate market has not only changed the Chinese economy, but also changed the fate of many ordinary people.
The story begins in the 80s, when our country began to explore the path of housing commoditization. It was not until 1998 that the welfare housing system was officially terminated, which became an important node in the history of China's real estate development.
In 2003, China issued the Notice on Promoting the Sustainable and Healthy Development of the Real Estate Market, officially recognizing real estate as a pillar industry of China's economy.
Taking this as a starting point, the machine roared day and night, the reinforced concrete did not stop, and the high-rise buildings quickly rose from the ground. Real estate has driven more than 60 industries such as building materials, furniture, wholesale, finance, and service industries upstream and downstream, and tens of millions of employed people, creating an economic miracle.
As of 2022, China's real estate industry accounts for 61%, which is the first pillar industry of the national economy;
Source: Zeping Macro In the two decades from 2000 to 2022, real estate development investment soared from 490.2 billion yuan to 133 trillion yuan.
Driving these digital growth is China's rapid urbanization. After years of vigorous urbanization, cities are changing with each passing day, and today, the urbanization rate of the country has increased sharply from less than 30% to 65%.
Every person and every family is also deeply bound to the "house", according to the statistics of the central bankAt present, the proportion of China's residents' housing assets in the total household assets is close to 6%.
The topic of the house was also filmed and filmed in film and television dramas. In 2009, when "Snail House" was broadcast, the average selling price of commercial housing in Shanghai was close to 130,000 square meters. "An Jia" by the same screenwriter premiered in 2020, when the housing price in Shanghai came to 50,000 yuan.
The market has been boiling for 20 years. Today, the giant wheel turns, and times have changed. The real estate industry has entered the era of stock, and the real estate policy has also ushered in a historic turning point.
In 2022, the sales area of commercial housing in China will decrease by 24% compared with the previous year3%, and the sales of commercial housing fell by 267%。At the end of the year, a series of stimulus policies followed.
This year, policy support has continued to increase. In 7After the 24** Politburo meeting set the tone for the property market, more easing policies for real estate have been introduced.
Many cities have completely canceled purchase restrictions, first-tier cities have loosened restrictions on the property market, and Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have all implemented the policy of "recognising houses but not loans". New development models have also been explored in practice, and promoting the steady and healthy development of the real estate market has become the main keynote.
In 2023, the world has really changed.
Young people are anti-internal frictionIncense and fortune-telling have become one of the lifestyles of contemporary young people. At the beginning of 2023, orders for temple scenic spots will increase by more than three times, of which the post-90s and post-00s will contribute more than half of the incense.
Perhaps while slowly losing control of their personal destiny, many people have chosen another path to seek an exit from life.
Yu Hua said: Fortune telling is also a kind of progress, and he wonders if there is still a beautiful thing waiting in front of his fate. If a person doesn't even think about fortune telling, it may really be negative.
But Yu Hua also suggested that young people should believe in good things, and don't believe bad things when they calculate bad things.
Yu Hua, who was born in the sixties of the last century, understands this generation of young people very well"Times have changed, and when I was younger, as long as you work hard and stay motivated, most people basically get paid off, but that's not the case anymore. ”
The Life of the Disgusted Pine Nut" stills Facing the problem of life, the ideas of the fathers back then are no longer applicable to the present. But today's young people have created their own formula for solving problems.
So some people choose to be special forces, focusing on an "extreme tourism", walking 30,000 steps a day, not sleeping for 48 hours, and visiting 6 provinces in 5 days, only spending a few hundred yuan. One second people were still on the beach, and the next second they flashed at the head of Changsha Orange Island.
The essence of this wave is that young people create conditions for themselves to pursue happiness and freedom in the cracks of life.
Those Things in the Ming Dynasty tells all the rise and fall of the dynasty, the emperors and generals, but the most touching thing is the end of the book, which is the chapter about Xu Xiake.
In the last sentence of the book, Mingyue wrote: "The reason why I wrote Xu Xiake is to tell you:The so-called century-old fame, thousands of years of hegemony, and eternal prosperity are actually nothing compared to one thing. It's all about living your life the way you love.
In 2023, hitchhiker culture is also liked and sought after by young people.
We are in an era of transition from a "society of acquaintances" to a society of strangers, where life and the environment around us are constantly changing, and our relationships are in a state of instability.
Everyone is becoming more and more connected online, but the relationship with the "neighborhood" is becoming more and more cold and vulnerable, and loneliness follows.
This kind of short-lived, boundary, superficial social relationship is just right for lonely urbanites.
The process of young people finding a partner, in fact, is also in another way to feel the beauty of life, which is not a kind of progress?
Even in the most dreary era, there are always people who sing and dance to find their own way in life.
ConclusionLuo Xiang said that the only certainty in life is our uncertain life.
When "uncertainty" becomes a norm, when the known, clear, and comfortable presuppositions in our hearts are no longer valid, when we no longer have any fixed, referenceable, and acceptable framework, in the face of the impermanence of fateHow can we re-establish order and meaning in our hearts?
The question is not the uncertainty itself, but what do we do with it
