In China, which is angling to produce its own chips or get more from Nvidia, no dominant gen AI contender to OpenAI has emerged yet among dozens of Chinese tech titans and startups. Last year, funding of gen AI upstarts accounted for nearly half of $42.5 billion invested globally in artificial intelligence companies, according to CB Insights. "China is at a big disadvantage in building the foundation models for Gen AI," said Rui Ma, an AI investor and co-founder of investment syndicate and podcast TechBuzz China. China does have the tech talent to make a difference in the AI rivalry in the years ahead. Additionally, among top-tier AI researchers working at U.S. institutions, 38% have China as their country of origin, compared with 37% from the U.S.New Chinese gen AI market entries can also reach mass adoption quickly.

REUTERS/Florence Lo/Illustration/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsSHANGHAI, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Discount e-commerce is set to dominate globally during the critical upcoming holiday shopping season in the West and Singles’ Day in China, analysts said. Platforms in China, the world’s largest e-commerce market, have recently described a “value-for-money battle” stoked by economic insecurity and a slower-than-expected retail recovery following the lifting of COVID-19 curbs late last year. “There was a clear vacuum for the discount retailer online experience ... Across the world, executives are now focusing on price pressures as discount online retailers gain increasing market share. In the West, the inflation driven consumer wants something cheaper because they're going through a moment of financial insecurity,” Ho said.

In U.S. federal court, SHEIN has accused Temu of contracting social-media influencers to make "false and deceptive statements" against SHEIN in their promotions of Temu.com. If Temu loses, Temu could be forced to curtail what so far has been a key marketing strategy. SHEIN seeks to block Temu from using SHEIN's name for marketing, and it wants damages from sales that SHEIN can show came through deceptive or infringing marketing. Social media influencers on TikTok often mention SHEIN in posts about Temu, comparing the companies and their merchandise. In the U.S., Temu is paying social media influencers $100 to $1,000 an hour for content plugging the Temu marketplace on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.

Oricum, hotărârile acelui judecător, care nu a fost reconfirmat în funcție după 5 ani, rămân valabile pentru cei pe care i-a judecat timp de 5 ani. Eliminarea perioadelor de probă pentru judecători reprezintă o garanție împotriva încercărilor de a influența comportamentul acestora și o certă îmbunătățire a independenței justiției. La fel este și situația judecătorului Nicolae Pasecinic care a fost expulzat din sistem, aparent, în urma unei reglări de conturi. La ce, administratorul insolvabilității Sergiu Bevziuc mi-a comunicat că a depus și o cerere de eliberare și a hotărârii integrale privind aprobarea raportului final, bilanțului de lichidare și radiere a întreprinderii. Amintim că judecătorul Nicolae Pasecinic a fost eliberat din sistem.

"Fără dialog nu o să reuşiţi nimic, indiferent cât de tari şi mari vă consideraţi". Acesta este mesajul ex-preşedintelui Republicii Moldova, Igor Dodon, către oponenţi. Fără dialog nu o să reuşiţi nimic, indiferent cât de tari şi mari vă consideraţi. Dacă nu va fi dialog, va fi blocaj total", a spus Dodon. Eu cred că aşa trebuie să procedeze oamenii civilizaţi, nu să strige şi să urle cum fac unii în stradă", a spus Dodon.

„După trei ani şi jumătate incredibili, voi părăsi Casa Albă pentru a mă dedica altor proiecte”, a scris cea care a fost anterior purtătoarea de cuvânt a vicepreşedintelui Mike Pence şi apoi a Pentagonului, înainte de a prelua postul actual, citează Agerpres. „Sunt foarte mândră de lucrurile incredibile realizate pentru a face ţara noastră mai puternică şi mai sigură", a adăugat Alyssa Farah, fără a menţiona numele preşedintelui Donald Trump, al cărui mandat se încheie pe 20 ianuarie 2021. După alegerile din 3 noiembrie, câştigate de democratul Joe Biden, dar al căror rezultat republicanul Donald Trump a refuzat până acum să îl recunoască, Alyssa Farah a fost destul de discretă. Atitudinea sa a contrastat cu cea a purtătoarei de cuvânt a Casei Albe, Kayleigh McEnany, care a transmis neobosită acuzaţiile de fraudă ale preşedintelui, fără nicio dovadă tangibilă care să le susţină.
