The eighth round of the Chinese Super League has started, but the news that Sun Zhuohao was detained by the police is still hotly debated. After all, he is also the first foreign player suspected of illegal activities in China football. Midfielder of Shandong Taishan Team, an active super league giant. First of all, it is certain that Sun Zhuohao’s career as a football player in China is completely over. Even if his last problem was minor and he was sentenced to several months’ detention, he would be rejected by domestic clubs and let a person play for at least five years.

Before Sun Zhuohao’s lawsuit is finally pronounced, Taishan Club will cancel the contract with him in advance and stand on the player’s side. Sun Junhao has just celebrated his 31st birthday. Although his career is usually short, it may be difficult for him to hold a steady position in Korean football, so he is basically the midfielder of Taishan team, and the outfielder might as well declare the end. My career.

You can also see Sun Junhao’s social media trends before his arrest. His social media is still public, because he has to make it public or private. Not only can many people view it, but you can also send him a message on holiday dynamics. After Sun Junhao’s accident, the latest news about his son and daughter was filled with angry messages from Korean fans. They expressed their disappointment with Sun Junhao, and angered that anyone who went to China to play football in the future would not be selected for the national team. While being bullied on the Internet, some fans are worried about his current situation and wish him an early and safe return.

Cyberbullying by Korean fans, such as "If you go to China to play football, don’t be selected for the national team", is obviously discriminatory, attacking not only Sun Junhao but also China football. It can be seen that Korean fans think that playing football in China is not only a career decline, but also influenced by the match-fixing environment in China League, but this view is obviously wrong. "Come to the domestic league, it doesn’t matter. There are still many China players who focus on football itself. Don’t blame your problems on the league."

It is worth mentioning that K-League match-fixing is rampant, more than Super League. "Korean fans can defend Sun Junhao, but they can’t blame others for their problems. Many Korean foreign AIDS have come to play in the Super League, and now Kim Min-jae, the first central defender in Asia, is also playing. " Super League, why can’t you check if there is no problem? Moreover, according to Korean fans, does this mean that Min-jae Kim will no longer need to join the national team? The essence of players is the same. No matter which country the players are in, there will always be players who seek profit first.

Manchester City announced their home jerseys for the upcoming 2023-24 season.
Manchester City said on the club’s website on the 19th (Korea time), "Manchester City players are wearing home uniforms produced by Puma for the 2023-24 season. Manuel Akanji, Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Goreli, Erin Holland and Edersen are wearing them, "he said formally.
This set of jerseys is designed to commemorate the transfer to Etihad Stadium. Since 1923, Manchester City has used Main Road as its home for 80 years. But with the passage of time, problems such as aging appeared. In 2003, they moved to Etihad Stadium as their new home.
Manchester City said: "This move marks the beginning of a new era for the club, which is defined by new records, new legends and great moments." I was inspired by the giant turret. Even the details are hidden. On the back of the neckline of the jersey is written the postal code of Etihad Stadium, M11 3FF, with pictures of Etihad Stadium painted on it. It also has a white V-neck, inspired by the 2003-04 home jersey.
An atmosphere completely different from this season’s uniforms. The home jersey of Manchester City in 2022-23 season is set in sky blue, and the Manchester City team emblem is embedded in the center of the chest. The logo of the uniform manufacturer Puma is located below it, and you can see the letter of the sponsor Etihad below it.
However, in this home jersey, the club badge is located on the left chest and the Puma logo is located on the right chest. In addition, you can also see the horizontal stripes in the middle on the sky blue background.
Meanwhile, Manchester City are challenging the club’s first treble this season. If you win the upcoming Chelsea game alone in the Premier League (EPL), you will be able to confirm your third consecutive league title. In addition, in UEFA Champions League (UCL), we beat Real Madrid to enter the final and compete with Inter Milan for the New Year. In the FA Cup in England, they faced their arch-rival Manchester United.

He added that Liverpool hope to play in the Europa League for most of this season, not the Champions League. But his team arrived at Anfield on Saturday, winning seven games in a row and entering the top four.

"We haven’t been good enough for too long," the German coach said in summing up this season. "I think we made it very exciting. Seven weeks ago, I thought it was impossible. The boys behaved very well in that period.

"I think people like it, too. You can see that they are not angry with us today. They are looking forward to the new Premier League season and the European League season. Me too.

On May 20th, Beijing time, on this special day, Tottenham fans were not happy, because the team they supported suffered a 3-1 reversal in brentford at the home of this Premier League, which was their third defeat in the last four rounds of the Premier League. In the past seven rounds of the Premier League, they only won one game, which was enough to make fans despair.

Prior to this, in the past month, Tottenham only defeated Crystal Palace. Against rivals such as Bournemouth, Newcastle, Manchester United, Liverpool and Villa, Tottenham was 4 losses and 1 draw. This round of home game against brentford, Tottenham suffered another defeat, and the team was basically desperate for the sixth place.

In this game, Tottenham had made a fantastic start. In just 8 minutes, Tottenham got a free kick in the frontcourt, and his teammate stepped on the ball in front of Kane. He took advantage of the situation and blew out a world wave. The ball went straight to the corner of the door and Tottenham led the opponent 1-0.

In the first half, Tottenham basically controlled the situation on the court and gave brentford no chance. However, after the start of the second half, the situation on the field changed suddenly. Brentford stepped up their counter-attack, and they soon equalized the score. In the 50 th minute, Mbemo caught the ball in the frontcourt, then cut the foot and finally volleyed the goal, and the score became 1-1.

After the equaliser, the visiting team’s morale was greatly boosted, while Tottenham was completely stunned. In the 62nd minute, Kane was intercepted in the midfield, and then brentford counterattacked. Mbemo inserted the ball in front of the expressway, then pushed it from a small angle and scored the ball in the far corner. The score on the field became 1-2, and the away game miraculously overtook the score. After that, Tottenham’s attack was disorganized. Not only did they fail to equalize the score, but they were robbed by mistakes before the end, and finally suffered a 3-1 defeat and had to lose the last home game of the season.

After 1-3, Tottenham was 1 point behind Brighton, the sixth place, in the case of two more games. This result is basically certain that Tottenham failed to compete for six games this season and missed the Europa League next season. In fact, Tottenham may not even be able to keep the seventh place, and this season is doomed to failure.

For Kane, this result is really hurtful. Together with the goal of this game, he has scored 28 goals in the Premier League this season. If it weren’t for Harland’s fate, Kane would get the Golden Boot in the Premier League again this season. However, even if Kane is so brave, let alone win the league championship. Tottenham can’t even win the top six in the Premier League, and the League Cup and the FA Cup are also missed. The English superstar continues to win the championship.

Since there is only one year left in his contract with Tottenham Hotspur, Kane will reconsider his future this summer. If he chooses to stay, it will undoubtedly be a story in football, but even if Kane decides to leave in order to win the championship, I believe some Tottenham fans will understand.

In the Premier League, Manchester United have always wanted Kane. They lack a center with stable goals, and Kane is the perfect candidate in Tenghage’s mind. With the help of Fernandez, Rachford and casemiro, Kane will have the opportunity to compete for various championships when he joins Manchester United. He and Manchester United are definitely mutual achievements, and then it depends on his own decision. In order to get Kane, Manchester United is absolutely willing to meet Levi’s asking price (worth up to 100 million pounds). As long as the superstar nods, Manchester United is expected to take him away, which is likely to be a transfer that changes the pattern of the Premier League.

After losing Kane, Tottenham will be completely rebuilt, and it will be difficult for them to compete for the fourth place in a short time, while Manchester United will greatly increase its strength and is expected to compete with Manchester City for the championship next season!

Two years ago in the summer, Pedro moved from Rome to Lazio, rewriting the history that two bitter rivals in the same city had no direct player transactions for 40 years. Pedro’s transfer to Lazio coincided with the arrival of madman Mourinho in Rome. At that time, Pedro had a three-year contract with Rome, and he was able to cancel the contract successfully, largely because Mourinho did not intend to include Pedro in his lineup.

After joining Lazio, Pedro played 40 times in two consecutive seasons and helped the team win the Europa League. After the end of this season, his contract with Lazio officially expired. At that time, he will be 36 years old. It is difficult for players of this age to stay in the five major leagues. Of course, Pedro doesn’t worry about leaving home. After all, others have played in Barcelona and won three Champions League titles and five La Liga titles.

According to the Italian Evening Post, in March this year, Pedro received an offer from the Japanese J-League team, and Kobe Victory Ship and Yokohama Sailors were competing for the former Barcelona main midfielder. In addition, at the beginning of May, a Saudi League team also came to Italy to meet Pedro’s agent team. If the player himself can’t find a suitable job in Europe, the Saudi League always welcomes him to join.

At present, the outside world only knows that Pedro’s contract with Lazio is about to expire, but the season is not over yet, and Pedro may stay in Europe until the end of the summer window. According to Lazio’s team reporter, on the one hand, Pedro himself has not made up his mind to play in Asia, on the other hand, Lazio also wants to renew his contract, and the club’s top management is discussing with Pedro’s agent the appropriate salary plan.

Lazio is currently ranked fourth in Serie A and is likely to return to the Champions League after two years. Pedro has played for Barcelona and Chelsea for many years and has rich experience in the Champions League, which is why Lazio wants to renew his contract. In the past two years, Pedro has been an indispensable member of Lazio’s midfield. Instead of spending money on new players, it is better to use experienced acquaintances. Therefore, Lazio must negotiate a contract renewal with Pedro before the summer window.

Live on May 21 ST, Manchester City won the Premier League championship in 2022-2023, achieved five championships in six years, and created the blue moon dynasty in the British stadium!

Number of champions in England’s top leagues (number of Premier League champions in brackets):

1. Manchester United: 20 crowns (13 Premiership)

2. Liverpool: 19 crowns (1 Premier League)

3. Arsenal: 13 crowns (3 Premiership)

At 8 pm on June 15th, 2023, the world cup champion Argentina men’s soccer team will come to Beijing Workers Stadium to play an international match with the Australian men’s soccer team.

Messi, the king of football, really came to Gundy! Never mind the ticket price, the new workers are going to blow up!

It is a satisfaction for fans to see the skills of the world cup champion with their own eyes. Disappointingly, the China Football Association also announced that the China men’s soccer team will participate in the Dalian International Football Invitational Tournament, while the national team’s opponents will be Myanmar and Palestine.

Messi is very depressed. I went to the national team with the most fans in the world, but they didn’t play football with me.

Why doesn’t the national football team play against Argentina? When the media organizer asked the Football Association, Du Zhaocai said, "There is no need for the national football team to compete with the Argentine national team. This is the confidence of the Football Association." National football team. "This may be to prevent being hit," he said.

On the day of the international football match in June, the second round of the Super League will be cancelled, and Beijing Guoan players will be able to watch Messi in the courtyard.

To put it bluntly, the football match between the national football team and the Argentine national team was disdained by the fans because of the low level of football in China. Or improve your league.

In this week’s Super League, there was a match between Beijing and Shanghai, and Beijing Guoan challenged Shanghai Shenhua away. Ma Ning served as the referee, and football coach jankovic inspected the players on the spot.

These test tools include Nemo Outdoor 5G NR drive test solution, Nemo Backpack Pro 5G indoor benchmark test solution and Nemo network benchmark test solution.

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.
