Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, February 13th News analysis: ChatGPT, change and risk
Xinhua News Agency reporter Peng Qian Huang Kun
ChatGPT, the big language model of American artificial intelligence company OpenAI, has reached 100 million monthly active users in January about two months after its launch, making it the fastest growing consumer application in history. Relevant experts predict that ChatGPT is not only a breakthrough of a new generation of chat robots, but also will bring great changes to the information industry. However, the risks brought by it, such as academic fraud, technology abuse and public opinion security, cannot be ignored.
The prototype of a new generation operating system platform
Write imaginative poems in multiple languages, write operational programs, quickly generate abstracts of papers, automatically make data tables, correct grammar and expression errors in articles, and write a news summary of the week … … ChatGPT can not only understand many human problems and instructions, but also smoothly carry out many rounds of dialogue, and also show its ability to solve a variety of general problems in more and more fields.
ChatGPT also easily passed some professional-level tests that are difficult for human beings: it recently passed the Google Code L3 (entry-level) engineer test; Passed the final exam of MBA in wharton school and the postgraduate exam of four courses in the University of Minnesota with B and C+ respectively; Passed the qualification examination of American medical practitioners … … The industry described its birth as an "iPhone moment" in the era of artificial intelligence, which means that artificial intelligence has ushered in a revolutionary turning point.
"The success of ChatGPT should not only be regarded as a breakthrough of a new generation of chat robots, but also pay attention to the revolution it has brought to artificial intelligence and even the entire information industry." Huang Tiejun, dean of Beijing Zhiyuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, said in an exclusive interview that the past decade in the field of artificial intelligence was a decade of deep learning, but there was no outbreak of mobile Internet and cloud computing level in the industry as a whole. "The emergence of ChatGPT is epoch-making, and the big model +ChatGPT has formed the prototype of a new generation of operating system platform."
Huang Tiejun said that ChatGPT adopted the route of "big data+big computing power+strong algorithm = big model" in the technical path, and explored a new paradigm in the direction of "basic big model+instruction fine-tuning", in which the basic big model is similar to the brain, and instruction fine-tuning is interactive training, and the combination of the two realizes language intelligence approaching human beings. ChatGPT applies the training mode of "reinforcement learning based on human feedback", and uses human preferences as a reward signal to train the model, which makes the model more and more consistent with human cognitive understanding mode.
"This kind of AI can help human beings to make real creation, especially to help human beings improve their creative efficiency, such as improving the efficiency of obtaining information or putting forward novel ideas, and then people can solve their authenticity problems. The improvement of creative efficiency will have great benefits and various influences, which can change the world information pattern. " Chen Xiaoping, director of the Robotics Laboratory of China University of Science and Technology, told reporters.
Initiate a new round of artificial intelligence technology competition
The advent of ChatGPT is triggering a new round of science and technology competition in the field of artificial intelligence. In the early morning of February 8th, Beijing time, Microsoft launched the latest version of bing search engine and Edge browser supported by ChatGPT, and announced that it would "reshape search". All products such as Microsoft’s Office and Azure cloud services will be integrated with ChatGPT across the board.
In the early morning of February 7th, Beijing time, Google also released Bard, the next generation dialogue AI system based on Google LaMDA model. On the same day, Baidu officially announced that the large-scale model project "ERNIE Bot" under development is scheduled to complete internal testing in March and then open to the public. China enterprises such as Alibaba and JD.COM also indicated that they are developing or planning to develop similar products.
The global competition in the field of artificial intelligence big model has become increasingly fierce. Huang Tiejun believes that ChatGPT is expected to evolve into a new generation of operating system platform and ecology in the future. This change is similar to the transformation of mobile Internet from personal computer to mobile phone, and most of the computing load will be taken over by the new generation information infrastructure with big model as the core. This new paradigm will affect all levels from application to infrastructure, causing great changes in the whole industrial structure. The ecological dispute between the big model and its software and hardware support system will become the focus of the information industry in the next decade.
It is worth noting that ChatGPT sometimes "talks nonsense in a serious way", and there are many problems such as factual errors, blind spots in knowledge and common sense deviations. It also faces the general risks of artificial intelligence such as compliance of training data sources, bias in data use, generation of false information and copyright disputes. Many world-renowned academic journals have updated their editorial guidelines, including that any large-scale language model tool will not be accepted as a signed author of research papers.
"The signed author of an academic paper must meet at least two conditions. One is to make ‘ Substantive contribution ’ The second is to be able to bear relevant responsibilities. At present, these two conditions ChatGPT (and other AI systems) are not satisfied. " Chen Xiaoping said.
ChatGPT also has the potential to be used in public opinion information warfare. The research team of McGill University in Canada used the previous generation model GPT-2 of ChatGPT to read about 5,000 articles about the COVID-19 epidemic broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and then asked it to generate "counterfactual news" about the crisis. Even OpenAI warns users who use ChatGPT that it "may occasionally generate incorrect information" and "generate harmful instructions or biased content".
"In order to solve these problems, we need to control the application boundary of ChatGPT while developing technology, establish the management regulations for the content generated by artificial intelligence, and evade the use of artificial intelligence to generate and disseminate false and bad content. At the same time, strengthen the development of governance tools and identify the content generated by artificial intelligence through technical means. This is an important prerequisite for content detection and work confirmation. " Tang Jiayu, vice president of Beijing Ruilai Smart Technology Co., Ltd. said.
() Financial Research Center on August 8th, some investors asked (), Hello, Secretary Dong. 1. The company vigorously promotes UTV electric all-terrain vehicles. Are there sufficient orders at present? What are the advantages of the company’s products compared with similar products in the same industry? How many moats (patents) are there? 2. The company’s products are mainly exported, and the customers are relatively single. The sales volume of the largest customer accounts for a high proportion, which is highly dependent and risky. How to deal with this? 3. Does the company enjoy tax incentives and government subsidies as a specialized and innovative small and medium-sized enterprise? 4. The company’s share price has been broken for more than half a year. What positive measures has the management taken to appease investors (such as repurchasing shares, acquiring and merging high-quality upstream enterprises, and holding a seminar on investors’ stock price breaking)?
The company replied, Dear investors, hello. In response to your concerns, the reply is as follows: 1. The company’s UTV all-terrain vehicle products are under development and optimization, and have not been mass-produced yet. The company will actively pay attention to market opportunities according to the industry development and market demand, combined with the actual situation of the company; 2. The risk you mentioned: (1) About the region: the company mainly exports, which is determined by the market demand. The global golf courses are mainly concentrated in North America, Europe and some developed countries, and the number of domestic golf courses is small. To this end, the company continues to promote the sales of electric sightseeing bus, trucks, patrol cars and other products in China to increase the domestic market share; (2) About customers: In recent years, the company has adopted the strategy of cultivating high-quality big customers and giving priority to meeting the order demand of big customers, and its performance has been rapidly increased in the past few years. At present, the share of the company’s major customers in the US market is still low. To this end, on the one hand, the company will continue to cooperate with major customers to actively explore the American market and increase its market share; On the other hand, the company is also constantly strengthening its marketing capabilities and striving for more non-American market share. At present, the company’s products have covered the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Vietnam, India, France, Italy, Britain and other countries and regions. However, the customer dependence problem you mentioned will still exist in the short term, so please pay attention to the investment risk; 3. At present, as a high-tech enterprise, the company pays enterprise income tax at a preferential tax rate of 15%; 4. The management of the company has been working hard with a highly responsible attitude towards all shareholders.Ensure the steady development of the company and return to investors. If there are relevant specific plans, the information disclosure obligations will be fulfilled in strict accordance with the regulations. Above, thank you for your attention to the company!
Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 7th Feature: Gathering Dreams and Strength to Build a Community of Asian Destiny
Xinhua News Agency reporter Sun Ping Lu Jiafei
The sea is wide and the sails are dancing, and the sky is high and the wind is warm. Five years ago, in Boao, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader called on Asian countries to establish a sense of community of destiny and push the development of Asia and the world to a new level. Three years ago, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader elaborated on the concept of a community of Asian destiny in Boao and drew a blueprint for a new future in Asia.
The 2018 annual meeting of Boao Forum for Asia is about to open. Comply with the general trend of Asian development and gather Asian development forces. China played a symphony of destiny with Asian countries, and the community of destiny gradually became the "Asian Consensus".
Sharing concept
Drinking the same river, fate is closely linked. The Lancang-Mekong River, which stretches across Wan Li, has witnessed the beautiful picture that China initiated and established a new sub-regional cooperation platform with Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam to build a community of destiny.
In just two years, the Lancang-Mekong cooperation mechanism has become the first version of the Asian destiny community. The pattern of "leaders leading, all-round coverage and participation of all departments", the speed of "making progress every day, making achievements every month and stepping up every year" and the culture of "treating each other as equals, sincerely helping each other and being like a family" all reflect the belief and pursuit of the six countries to deepen the integration of interests and achieve common development, and also demonstrate China’s role as a leader of regional cooperation and a watcher of regional peace and development.
China practices the neighboring diplomatic concept of sincerity and tolerance, insists on being a good neighbor and partner, deepens friendly cooperation with neighboring countries, actively participates in multilateral cooperation mechanisms in Asia, promotes regional cooperation to blossom and form synergy, and lays the foundation for building a community of Asian destiny.
China-ASEAN Destiny Community, China-Pakistan Destiny Community, China-Kazakhstan Destiny Community and China-Laos Destiny Community … … The concept of community of destiny has taken root in Asia, and different levels of community of destiny complement each other.
Bambang Suryono, chairman of the Asian Innovation Research Center, an Indonesian think tank, believes that China’s proposal of a community of Asian destiny provides an ideological guarantee and theoretical basis for common development, peaceful coexistence and mutual benefit in the Asian region. The community of Asian destiny is rooted in China’s "harmony" culture, conforms to the traditional cultural values of Asian countries, and is deeply recognized and supported by Asian countries. Asian countries are increasingly accepting the concept of the community of destiny.
As the main driving force of the world economy, Asia is also facing challenges such as insufficient growth momentum and integration momentum. China, which has entered a new era, will continue to provide growth momentum for Asia and the world, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation with neighboring countries and further promote the building of a community of human destiny.
As Salman Ali Bettaney, a professor at the School of Politics and International Relations of Jinnah University, said, building a community of destiny is conducive to enhancing trust among Asian countries and strengthening mutual cooperation and cultural exchanges.
Build a dream
Across Qian Shan, build a dream space together. China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, China-Laos Railway, China-Thailand Railway, Anglian-Papu Railway Tunnel, Vietnam Longjiang Industrial Park, Laos Saiseta Industrial Development Zone, Cambodia Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone, Sri Lanka Hambantota Port … … China and Asian countries discuss and share the "Belt and Road" and build a community of Asian destiny with practical actions.
Asia is the first region of the Belt and Road Initiative. Five years ago, China initiated the "Silk Road Economic Belt" and the "21st Century Maritime Silk Road" in Kazakhstan and Indonesia respectively, which were warmly responded by Asian countries. In January 2016, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank was officially put into operation. So far, it has provided financial support for development projects in many Asian countries, including the expressway project in Pakistan, the subway project in Bangalore, India, the energy project in Myanmar, the slum upgrading project in Indonesia, and the fiber-optic broadband network construction in Oman.
The construction of the "Belt and Road" in Asia has changed the infrastructure of many countries, created a land-sea connectivity map, and stimulated local investment and industrial development.
Hu Yishan, chief consultant of the Malaysian Pacific Research Center, believes that the community of Asian destiny focuses on promoting economic, trade and economic development. There are still many countries and regions in Asia with backward infrastructure. The Belt and Road Initiative and the AIIB can help regions improve their infrastructure and boost regional economic development.
A trickle merges into the sea, and a little starlight illuminates the Milky Way. The "Belt and Road" brings together the dreams of people in Asian countries and connects the development strategies of various countries.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said that the "Belt and Road Initiative" fits well with Cambodia’s national development plan. Bangladeshi Prime Minister Hasina said that Bangladesh is willing to strengthen cooperation with China in the process of realizing the dream of "Golden Bangladesh".
Suryono believes that the "Belt and Road" construction is conducive to integrating the resources of Asian countries, giving full play to their comparative advantages, and achieving common development and prosperity in Asia. The construction of the "Belt and Road" attaches importance to the communication between the people, which is also conducive to enhancing mutual trust and understanding among Asian countries, reducing ethnic, religious and cultural conflicts, and laying the foundation for building a community of Asian destiny.
Draw a blueprint together
As close as lips and teeth, share weal and woe. To build a community of Asian destiny, common security is essential. At present, Asia is facing traditional and non-traditional, internal and external security challenges, and regional hot spots come one after another. Countries outside the region intervene in regional security affairs, and the game of great powers around geopolitics intensifies. The common will of Asian countries to pursue peace and development calls for a new Asian security concept.
At the AsiaInfo Shanghai Summit in 2014, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader put forward the Asian security concept of "common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable". In his speech at the opening ceremony of the fifth CICA Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in 2016, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader proposed to promote the construction of a security governance model with Asian characteristics.
Suryono believes that the western security concept pursues absolute security and puts its own security above that of others. China’s concept of Asian security pursues common security, and only when everyone feels safe can it be truly safe.
Rod Capnan, a columnist of Philippine Standard, believes that China pursues "win-win" and is committed to sharing the dividends brought by its reform and development with other countries in the world. China has done the same, including promoting the building of a community of Asian destiny and launching the "Belt and Road Initiative".
Building a universal and safe Asian security system requires enhancing mutual trust among countries, and enhancing mutual trust is inseparable from cultural exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations within the Asian family.
At the 2015 annual meeting of the Boao Forum for Asia, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader proposed to hold a conference on dialogue of Asian civilizations, strengthen exchanges between young people, non-governmental organizations, local governments, media and other sectors, and build a think tank exchange and cooperation network, so that Asian people can enjoy a richer spiritual life and make regional development cooperation more dynamic. The 2016 Annual Meeting of Boao Forum for Asia held the Dialogue of Asian Civilizations. On the theme of "Colorful Civilization and New Vitality in Asia", representatives from China, Pakistan, Iran, Singapore and UNESCO started a dialogue.
China is good, and Asia can be good; If Asia is good, China will be better. China and Asian countries have joined hands on the journey of building a community of destiny and jointly painted a beautiful picture of a new Asia. (Participating in reporters: Liang Hui, Ji Wei, Liu Tong, Zhang Dacheng, Yuan Mengchen, Dong Chengwen, Wang Yu, Zhang Jianhua)
Recently, an article entitled "Children Left Behind on the Internet: The Next Generation of Employees of Dachang" spread rapidly on the Internet, which aroused the resonance of countless parents of "996" social animals.
In the article, a Douban netizen described what he witnessed with his own eyes in an Internet factory in China: the parents who were employees went to the square downstairs at five or six o’clock in the evening, and the old man brought the children over, and the parents and children met in a hurry to talk. Then the old man took the baby home for dinner and homework, and the parents continued to go back to work and move bricks until midnight.
The picture is from Phoenix News.
Coincidentally, Tencent News has also filmed a documentary-"People in the Workplace in a Broken Situation", which also reflects the plight of 996 parents in big cities.
Zhang Ting, the head of the Internet company, gets up at six o’clock every morning, commutes for two hours by car, and gets home from work at eleven or twelve o’clock. Her daughter has fallen asleep long ago and has little time to spend with her children. Her greatest wish is to "spend a day with her daughter without a job."
The seemingly ordinary wish of "spending a good day with children" has poked pain in the hearts of many parents in the workplace, especially the parents of dual-employees of Internet companies in first-tier cities.
The picture comes from the parent-child companion survey in China city.
Some netizens also believe that the parents of Internet giant 996 can at least provide high-quality educational resources for their children and pave the way for their future, while practitioners in other industries, including media people, designers, construction workers, couriers, etc., also have long-term overtime work in 996 or even 007, but they can’t get the corresponding high-paying treatment.
However, these added values become insignificant in the face of "death".
Some time ago, the news that "a 23-year-old female employee in Pinduoduo worked overtime until one o’clock in the morning and died suddenly on the street" aroused widespread concern in society. The girl fell at the beginning of her life, and didn’t even come to have her own family and children, let alone have a chance to weigh whether all the sacrifices were worth it. The picture is from Zhihu.
Pinduoduo responded that "fighting with life" in front of capital,
Even "desperate" is a matter of course!
From "996" to "big and small weeks", overtime forms emerge one after another. "I have time to earn money, but I don’t have time to spend money" is not only a self-mockery of office workers, but also the status quo of many people in the workplace who are hopelessly struggling in life. When group overtime is blooming everywhere and getting worse, the harm it brings is not just the education of children. ……
996 of Daxie Platform = Struggle?
In recent years, social animals started to shout "Work 996, Sick ICU", which set off a climax of debate and criticism on the Internet. However, Internet tycoons have wrapped 996 platform with the sugar coating of "love work and hard work", as if 996 represents struggle, and refusing 996 is lazy.
Ma Yun’s father doesn’t have to say, "996 is a blessing", which is a resounding story.
The picture comes from the Internet.
Some employees in sogou once anonymously complained about the overtime hours of the company. Sogou CEO Wang Xiaochuan immediately denied that this was a written system, leaving a malicious remark: "People who don’t agree with the company system should either adapt or give feedback and suggestions to help the company improve. What is it to come out and talk? Get out of here if you have the guts. "
JD.COM once issued an email signed by Liu Qiangdong, demanding that three types of people be eliminated resolutely, and those employees who can’t work hard and have low cost performance should be swept out of the house immediately.
The picture comes from the Internet.
Aauto Quicker followed closely, announcing that the Week will be held on January 10th, 2021.
The Internet development model of rapid iteration, trial and error, and small steps and quick running has created the miracle of the Internet in China. In the face of economic downturn, it is cheaper to let employees run at full capacity than to find new growth opportunities. Therefore, what entrepreneurs need is "good employees" who can drink "chicken soup for success", keep up with the rhythm, and don’t shout bitterness or tiredness.
996 has nothing to do with struggle, but with interests.
The picture comes from the Internet.
Whether employees have enough private time to rest, whether their families are harmonious, and whether the next generation grows up healthily are not within their consideration. For entrepreneurs, enterprise benefits come first. They don’t lack people who consciously work overtime until 12 o’clock. If you don’t go, others will go.
Actually, 996 is not a "new concept". Domestic overtime culture and "wolf-like" corporate culture have been prevalent for a long time. The working system of 996 expanded from the early entrepreneurial passion to the daily life of enterprises, and then developed into a mandatory management means, which even produced some disadvantages.
In the all-weather science and technology report, a Tencent employee reported that in the general 996 environment, you always leave work early, and your superiors will think that your work is not saturated, or your work enthusiasm is not high, so some employees in the team will stay in the company even if they have finished their work, and they will not leave work until the time. There are also some enterprises that feel good when they see others engaging in 996 and engaging in wolf culture, and they also want to promote the atmosphere in their own companies. No matter what happens, they start to advocate 996.
At the same time, people’s complex emotions about 996 are accumulating day by day. In the environment of strict epidemic control, economic downturn, layoffs and salary cuts, entrepreneurs continue to put 996 blessings on the table and kidnap us with successful chicken soup, and everyone’s dissatisfaction with 996 broke out.
Netizens’ complex emotions about 996 (picture from the network)
"This world shouldn’t be like this" is gradually "awakened" by "resource-based" tool people: 996= struggle? Then why does such "struggle" make people feel "instrumentalized"? Did the "struggle" of 996 really bring you inner satisfaction after sacrificing your health, rest and hobbies?
We in 996, alienated "tool people"
Rejecting 996 is not to deny the meaning of labor and struggle, but to deny the labor alienation hidden behind the mysterious logic of "996= struggle".
Some people will wonder, why do big Internet companies hire high-intensity employees with high salaries? Instead of hiring more people and paying less for each person, let everyone work in a more humane way?
Xiang Biao, a professor of social anthropology at Oxford University, gave an explanation. This system is designed to better control employees. Working hours are lengthened, the number of workers is reduced, and people are attracted by high wages. Under this game rule, there is a highly tense competition among migrant workers.
When everyone arrives at their posts, they will only go to work without reflection. At the same time, with fewer people, the relationship between people is also less and it becomes easier to control.
The picture comes from pear video.
When time and intensity are too oppressive, people will have a strong feeling of being alienated and instrumentalized.
If you work eight hours a day and have a buffer, people’s perception is completely different. A person who gets off work at six o’clock every day and doesn’t get off work until 90 o’clock every night leads two completely different lives.
After work at six o’clock, you can be in the mood to cook a good meal, go to a movie, get together with friends, and take the children for a walk, instead of rushing to take a few takeaways, so busy with the computer until late at night that you gradually regard work as the basis of the meaning of life and have no time to stop and think.
The working system of 996 crushes people into tools. Labor is only a means to maintain the survival of oneself and family. The laborer becomes a commodity and is regarded as a part of a huge system, and the employees repeatedly compare and consider its cost performance.
The picture comes from the Internet.
What is even more frightening is that under this system, the cost performance of workers will become lower and lower.
Marx once said: "The more wealth a worker produces, the greater the strength and quantity of his products, and the poorer he is. The more goods a worker creates, the cheaper he becomes. The appreciation of the world of things is directly proportional to the depreciation of the world of people. " That’s right. It’s the essence of 996.
Long-term default to 996 will make the whole labor market deteriorate gradually, and the working hours of individuals will also depreciate. If everyone is tempted by short-term high salary and connives at the continuation of 996, it will cause a vicious competition.
In the future, your 996 is worthless, because others can live in the company for 24 hours at last. This kind of arms race is headless, and workers will lose their bargaining power with capital more and more. In order to make more money for the time being, I sacrificed my body and family and gave up my saved capital. In the future, I will "struggle" and will only be ruthlessly abandoned by enterprises.
The picture comes from the Internet.
What’s more, under 996, I worked hard for more than ten hours every day, and I had no personal life and no time to reflect. I was constantly consumed in repetitive busyness, and my creativity at work would disappear.
Imagine, if we are all social animals, dead presidents, how can we expect someone to create new things and produce new ideas?
The picture comes from the Internet.
Silicon Valley is the world’s science and technology center, which has nurtured great innovative enterprises such as Apple, Google, Facebook and Tesla. But here, there is no company that adopts 996 in a unified way, and there is no company that implements large and small weeks. Most companies guarantee weekends every week, and the working days are normally from 10 to 6. A few companies take turns to adopt the on call system, but it is only once or twice a year, half a week or a week at a time.
In Silicon Valley, overtime is very rare. Even if there is, employees who want to be promoted will choose to work overtime on their own initiative. The company will never give an employee a hard time or eliminate him because he refuses to work overtime. On the contrary, it may cause resentment from the boss.
At Google headquarters, employees are playing beach volleyball.
Silicon Valley generally adopts a management mode of high commitment rather than high control. High commitment means providing employees with a relaxed working atmosphere and independent working space, so that employees can enjoy a free state. After employees feel that their personal rights and interests are respected, they will spontaneously put themselves into work, but their work efficiency will be improved.
996, who exhausted his resources and fished,
Overdraft is the future of the whole society.
The extensive development mode of 996 is very short-sighted. Once the cycle of rapid development of the industry has passed, such simple and rude management methods will not apply. High pressure and quick output may bring short-term explosive power, but they lack the toughness of long-distance running, which is a long-term solution rather than a long-term solution.
Since 1996, employees’ physical and mental health has been severely damaged, and they have collapsed and suffered from neurasthenia, which can not be compensated by short-term quantitative benefits. In the long run, employees will lose their enthusiasm and enterprises will lose their hearts. This is a great loss to individuals, families, enterprises and the country.
The picture comes from the Internet.
Some enterprises may think that this is no problem. Anyway, there are plenty of fresh leeks that can be cut. After cutting a batch, change a batch, and there is no worry about not being connected. However, this depends on the full supply of China’s labor market. With a large population and fierce competition in the talent market, even if the work intensity is extremely high, there is no worry about not recruiting people. However, with the change of the age distribution structure of the working population, the scarcity of talent supply will gradually increase. Continuing to engage in 996 will only ruin the reputation and image of the enterprise, which is a manifestation of low management ability.
In 2019, China’s fertility rate has fallen below the warning line of 1.5. In 2018 and 2019, it is only between 1.1 and 1.2. If the fertility rate falls below 1.5, it will fall into the trap of low fertility rate, and it is difficult to rise again. For example, in Japan, after the total fertility rate fell below 1.5 in 1995, although the government has been vigorously encouraging fertility, the total fertility rate has not been able to rise above 1.5. It is optimistically estimated that the population of China will begin to shrink within ten years, and the population of China will fall below 600 million by the end of this century. The demographic dividend that China’s economic growth has always enjoyed is disappearing.

Behind this phenomenon, 996 is also one of the factors. Ultra-long working hours and intense work pressure make it difficult for people to have time and energy to raise the next generation, not to mention that raising a baby requires huge economic expenses. At present, although the country has opened two children, many young people don’t even have the energy and money to have a child.
In the past, "left-behind children" were children whose parents went to work in cities, stayed alone in the countryside or grew up with their grandparents. Now, many urban children have become "left-behind children in cities". Parents are busy with work, so they have to leave their children in the care of the elderly and nannies. Although they enjoy more resources than left-behind children in rural areas, they will also have problems such as loneliness, depression, sensitivity and paranoia because of the lack of parental companionship. Why do young people in China not want to have children, considering the dilemma of raising babies for the employees of big Internet companies mentioned at the beginning? It should be easy to understand.
To continue to advocate 996 is to drag the country into the abyss of a vicious circle.
The picture comes from the Internet.
"workers, decent people", 996 when the exit.
Zhou Yu, a professor of organization and talent strategy teaching in the Business School of Renmin University of China, said in an interview with Caijing that the sustainable development of human beings and the balance between life and work have become a social demand in the West since the 1950s. Since the 1990s, western enterprises have paid great attention to the sustainable development of human beings, emphasizing the work-life balance of employees and the healthy balance of employees’ body and mind.
China is now in this transitional period.
The advanced technology, the sustainability of business logic and the civilized degree of organization and management are the necessary components for China enterprises to gain international competitiveness. The most important thing to manage the sustainability of civilization is to manage and draw people’s sustainability, and to really and effectively stimulate people’s innovative potential, rather than simply relying on the extension of labor hours to manage people.
The picture is from Weibo.
Stopping 996 is in line with the development situation. Although people generally call for a more reasonable management method than 996, individuals are still in a weak position for enterprise organizations. This change requires the government to give stricter supervision.
To improve the implementation of laws and regulations related to labor security, local labor security departments should take responsibility and do something at critical times. With the support of the government, workers can stand upright and be confident when safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests, and there is less sadness left for people to sigh afterwards. I hope that in the future, we can all work with more dignity and dignity.
