for the automatic disappearance of the world

Some notes on Jean Baudrillard's "The Virtual Illusion: Or the Automatic Writing of the World" (1995):

(1) Baudrillard seems to be responding to the advent of reality TV in the 1990s, which he sees as an "innocent" depiction of an already established truth, that we are already living our lives as though we are being filmed. "Each existence is telepresent to itself," he declares. "We have interiorized our own prosthetic image and become the professional showmen of our own lives." This obviously anticipates a common critique of social media, that people let the need to create content for platforms begin to direct their lives.

(2) Echoing a point he frequently makes, Baudrillard suggests that critiquing things like reality TV or virtual reality tends to irresponsibly posit some "reality" that is somehow still preserved or protected from the effects of media and technology. "The reality shows are only side-effects and, moreover, mystifying, because in indicting them as manipulation, the critics assume that there is somewhere an original form of life, and reality shows would be only the parody and the simulation of it (Disneyland)." In other words, Disneyland is the alibi for the way reality is already a simulation of itself. In general, "all negative criticism, surviving itself, actually helps its object to survive." (The idea of "criti-hype" makes a similar point.)

(3) Baudrillard points out that "real time" is meaningless outside the context of mediatization. Real time means to be mediated immediately, so the term is oxymoronic in a way: Real time is media time; it is the forced equivalence of the real and the mediated. ("Real time is in fact a purely virtual time.") He presciently describes "immersive art exhibitions" (i.e. Immersive Van Gogh etc.) as a way of allowing viewers to feel like their consumption of the art is happening in "real time." This also compels their participation (since Baudrillard views the "silence of the masses" as a kind of threat the powers that be find intolerable).

(4) Baudrillard likens reality show contestants to Duchampian ready-mades: They short-circuit signification and representation; they are presented as being what they are, a proposition that becomes tautological and self-canceling. The distinction between art and life is nullified to the detriment of both. "Cloned to our own image by high definition, and dedicated by involution into our own image to mediatic stupefaction, just as the ready-made is dedicated to aesthetic stupefaction."

(5) Baudrillard defines "the virtual" as datafication:

What is the idea of the Virtual? It seems that it would be the radical effectuation, the unconditional realization of the world, the transformation of all our acts, of all historical events, of all material substance and energy into pure information. The ideal would be the resolution of the world by the actualization of all facts and data.

This would be one way of looking at LLMs, or the project of "AI": to map the "virtual" space of language or culture or any kind of experience that can be represented as data as a complete set of given probabilities. The "automatic writing of the world," Baudrillard calls it. Everything that can happen is calculated and anticipated and in that sense "actualized." This process, in his view, resolves and extinguishes those possibilities; enacting them becomes superfluous, they are automatically performed in simulation and no longer require human activity. Hence the project of AI is "accelerating the process of declining (in the double sense of the word), towards a pure and simple disappearance. The human species would be invested, without knowing it, with the task of programming, by exhausting all its possibilities, the code for the automatic disappearance of the world. This is the very idea of Virtuality."

(6) Baudrillard strangely proposes that "we all dream of perfect autonomous beings who, far from acing against our will ..., would meet our desire to escape our own will, and realize the world as a self-fulfilling prophecy." He states this as though it were self-evident, but it seems to me that the masochism intrinsic to AI fantasy is covert, disavowed. People warn of rogue AI because they yearn for it, yearn to be controlled by some entity like that, etc. Baudrillard argues that "All forms of High Technology illustrate the fact that behind his doubles and his prostheses, his biological clones and his virtual images, the human being is secretly fomenting his disappearance." This is reminiscent of Žižek's riff on videotapes watching the shows for us, and so on — that we want technology to perform the work of enjoyment and of desire — but Baudrillard also suggests that "most of these machines are used for delusion, for eluding communication, for absolving us of the face-to-face relation and the social responsibility." Technology promises sociality without the social, without reciprocity. This would mean "real time" is evoked to permit a universal asynchrony, in which no can be present with anyone else.

(7) Baudrillard sees high-definiton as "high dilution": the more something is datafied, the less it conveys: "The highest definition of the information corresponds to the lowest definition of the event," he writes, which raises the question of what an "event" consists of. It is that which can't be simulated or predicted in advance, can't be calculated and thereby made to disappear. For Baudrillard, virtuality entails a "world where referential substance is scarcely to be found anymore" — the "end of illusion" which is also the end of thought.

Key Design Features Planetary Gearbox Manufacturers Focus On

Planetary gearboxes are integral to a wide range of industrial applications due to their high efficiency, compact design, and excellent torque density. Behind their apparent simplicity lies a highly engineered system that demands meticulous attention to detail. Planetary gearbox manufacturers focus on several key design features to ensure these gear units deliver optimal performance, durability, and reliability across varying load conditions and industries.

Let’s explore the major design aspects manufacturers prioritize to craft gearboxes that stand the test of time and performance.

Engineering Precision Behind Every Planetary Gearbox

Planetary gearboxes are more than just a collection of gears in a housing—they represent a synergy of mechanical engineering, material science, and advanced manufacturing techniques. The core design principles revolve around maximizing torque output, minimizing size, reducing heat buildup, and ensuring smooth and reliable transmission over long operational cycles.

Gear Arrangement and Load Sharing Geometry

One of the primary design features of a planetary gearbox is the epicyclic arrangement of gears. This includes a central sun gear, multiple planet gears, and an outer ring gear. This configuration enables uniform load distribution across all planet gears, ensuring balanced stress and reduced gear wear. Manufacturers pay careful attention to gear spacing and symmetry to maintain even load sharing, which enhances the gearbox’s lifespan and operational stability.

High Torque Density Through Compact Architecture

Compactness without compromising power is a hallmark of planetary gearboxes. Manufacturers optimize the design to deliver high torque density—that is, maximum torque in the smallest possible footprint. This is achieved by efficiently using the planetary configuration to multiply torque, making these gearboxes ideal for space-constrained and high-load applications such as robotics, automotive systems, and heavy-duty machinery.

Gear Tooth Profile Optimisation

Another crucial design focus is the gear tooth profile. Planetary gearbox manufacturers leverage advanced software tools and machining technologies to craft tooth profiles that ensure smooth meshing, minimal friction, and noise reduction. Involute profiles are commonly used, but even within this standard, tweaks in pressure angles, helix angles, and contact ratios can significantly impact performance. Proper tooth geometry reduces backlash and enhances efficiency.

Bearing and Shaft Alignment

Bearings and shafts form the backbone of the gear transmission system. Misalignments can cause uneven wear, vibration, and premature failure. Top manufacturers use precision engineering and quality bearing systems to ensure perfect shaft alignment and support. This helps maintain consistent meshing of gear teeth, enhances load handling capabilities, and improves the overall mechanical efficiency of the gearbox.

Housing and Structural Integrity

The gearbox housing isn’t just a container—it provides the structure and alignment for the internal components. Manufacturers focus on creating rigid, vibration-resistant housings that can withstand mechanical loads and environmental stress. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is often used during the design stage to evaluate stress distribution and structural integrity. A well-designed housing helps in minimizing noise, supporting thermal management, and ensuring long-term durability.

Material Selection as a Design Variable

Material choice significantly influences the strength, weight, and thermal properties of a planetary gearbox. Manufacturers often use alloy steels, hardened materials, and specialized surface treatments for gears and shafts to enhance wear resistance and load capacity. Housing materials may include cast iron, aluminum, or steel depending on the application. The right combination of materials not only improves performance but also optimizes the cost-to-durability ratio.

Thermal Management by Design

Thermal buildup due to friction and load is a major concern in gearbox operation. Overheating can degrade lubrication and lead to component failure. Manufacturers address this by designing for efficient thermal dissipation—using cooling fins, high-grade lubricants, and strategic material selection. Some designs also incorporate integrated cooling systems or allow for the addition of external cooling units in heavy-duty applications.

Gearbox Mounting and Alignment Precision

Proper mounting and alignment are critical to gearbox performance. Misalignment can lead to shaft deflection, increased wear, and noise. Manufacturers ensure that their gearboxes are designed with precise mounting surfaces, alignment guides, and dowel pin arrangements. These features help in easy and accurate installation, reducing setup time and eliminating common causes of misalignment-related failures.

Modular Design Philosophy

Modern planetary gearbox manufacturers are increasingly embracing a modular design approach. This allows for customization and flexibility without the need for complete redesigns. Modular designs offer interchangeable components such as gear stages, mounting flanges, and input/output options, enabling easier integration into various industrial systems. They also simplify maintenance and allow for scalability in performance.

Practice Reviewed Questions FOR Maternity AND Pediatric Nursing 4TH EditionPRACTICE EXAMS FOR MEDICAL SURGICAL Nursing (Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology) Scan to open on Studocu Studocu is not sponsored or endorsed by any college or university Practice Reviewed Questions FOR Maternity AND Pediatric Nursing 4TH EditionPRACTICE EXAMS FOR MEDICAL SURGICAL Nursing (Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology) Scan to open on Studocu Studocu is not sponsored or endorsed by any college or university Downloaded by James Mcknight (careerdigitals@gmail.com) lOMoARcPSD|28323056 PRACTICE REVIEWED QUESTIONS FOR MATERNITY AND PEDIATRIC NURSING 4TH EDITION A primipara client gave birth vaginally to a healthy newborn girl 48 hours ago. The nurse palpates the client's fundus, expecting it to be at which location? A) Two fingerbreadths above the umbilicus B) At the level of the umbilicus C) Two fingerbreadths below the umbilicus D) Four fingerbreadths below the umbilicus - CORRECT ANSWER-C During the first few days after birth, the uterus typically descends downward from the level of the umbilicus at a rate of 1 cm (1 fingerbreadth) per day so that by day 2, it is about 2 fingerbreadths below the umbilicus. When caring for a mother who has had a cesarean birth, the nurse would expect the client's lochia to be: A) Greater than after a vaginal delivery B) About the same as after a vaginal delivery C) Less than after a vaginal delivery D) Saturated with clots and mucus - CORRECT ANSWER-C Women who have had cesarean births tend to have less flow because the uterine debris is removed manually along with delivery of the placenta. A client who is breastfeeding her newborn tells the nurse, I notice that when I feed him, I feel fairly strong contraction-like pain. Labor is over. Why am I having contractions now? Which response by the nurse would be most appropriate? A) Your uterus is still shrinking in size; that's why you're feeling this pain. B) Let me check your vaginal discharge just to make sure everything is fine. C) Your body is responding to the events of labor, just like after a tough workout. D) The baby's sucking releases a hormone that causes the uterus to contract - CORRECT ANSWER-D The woman is describing afterpains, which are usually stronger during breast-feeding because oxytocin released by the sucking reflex strengthens uterine contractions. Downloaded by James Mcknight (careerdigitals@gmail.com) lOMoARcPSD|28323056 Afterpains are associated with uterine involution, but the woman's description strongly correlates with the hormonal events of breast-feeding. All women experience afterpains, but they are more acute in multiparous women secondary to repeated stretching of the uterine muscles. The nurse interprets which of the following as evidence that a client is in the taking-in phase? A) Client states, He has my eyes and nose. B) Client shows interest in caring for the newborn. C) Client performs self-care independently. D) Client confidently cares for the newborn - CORRECT ANSWER-A During the taking-in phase, new mothers when interacting with their newborns spend time claiming the newborn and touching him or her, commonly identifying specific features in the newborn such as "he has my nose" or "his fingers are long like his father's." Independence in self-care and interest in caring for the newborn are typical of the taking-hold phase. Confidence in caring for the newborn is demonstrated during the letting-go phase. A postpartum client is experiencing subinvolution. When reviewing the woman's labor and birth history, which of the following would the nurse identify as being least significant to this condition? A) Early ambulation B) Prolonged labor C) Large fetus D) Pulse rate of 60 beats/minute - CORRECT ANSWER-A Factors that inhibit involution include prolonged labor and difficult birth, incomplete expulsion of amniotic membranes and placenta, uterine infection, overdistention of uterine muscles (such as by multiple gestation, hydramnios, or large singleton fetus), full bladder (which displaces the uterus and interferes with contractions), anesthesia(which relaxes uterine muscles), and close childbirth spacing. Factors that facilitate uterine involution include complete expulsion of amniotic membranes and placenta at birth, complication-free labor and birth process, breast-feeding, and early ambulation. A woman who gave birth 24 hours ago tells the nurse, I've been urinating so much over the past several hours. Which response by the nurse would be most appropriate? A) You must have an infection, so let me get a urine specimen. B) Your body is undergoing many changes that cause your bladder to fill quickly. C) Your uterus is not contracting as quickly as it should. D) The anesthesia that you received is wearing off and your bladder is working again. - CORRECT ANSWER-B Postpartum diuresis occurs as a result of several mechanisms: the large amounts of IV fluids given during labor, a decreasing antidiuretic effect of oxytocin as its level declines, the buildup and retention of extra fluids during pregnancy, and a decreasing production of aldosterone—the hormone that decreases sodium retention and increases urine production. All these factors contribute to rapid filling of the bladder within 12 hours of Downloaded by James Mcknight (careerdigitals@gmail.com) lOMoARcPSD|28323056 birth. Diuresis begins within 12 hours after childbirth and continues throughout the first week postpartum. Rapid bladder filling, possible infection, or effects of anesthesia are not involved. A group of students are reviewing the process of breast milk production. The students demonstrate understanding when they identify which hormone as responsible for milk let-down? A) Prolactin B) Estrogen C) Progesterone D) Oxytocin - CORRECT ANSWER-D Don't let this confuse you! Milk let-down/stimulation vs milk production (prolactin) Oxytocin is released from the posterior pituitary to promote milk let-down. Prolactin levels increase at term with a decrease in estrogen and progesterone; estrogen and progesterone levels decrease after the placenta is delivered. Prolactin is released from the anterior pituitary gland and initiates milk production. A nursing student is preparing a class presentation about changes in the various body systems during the postpartum period and their effects. Which of the following would the student include as influencing a postpartum woman's ability to void? (Select all that apply.) A) Use of an opioid anesthetic during labor B) Generalized swelling of the perineum C) Decreased bladder tone from regional anesthesia D) Use of oxytocin to augment labor E) Need for an episiotomy - CORRECT ANSWER-B, C, D Many women have difficulty feeling the sensation to void after giving birth if they received an anesthetic block during labor (which inhibits neural functioning of the bladder) or if they received oxytocin to induce or augment their labor (antidiuretic effect). These women will be at risk for incomplete emptying, bladder distention, difficulty voiding, and urinary retention. In addition, urination may be impeded by perineal lacerations; generalized swelling and bruising of the perineum and tissues surrounding the urinary meatus; hematomas; decreased bladder tone as a result of regional anesthesia; and diminished sensation of bladder pressure as a result of swelling, poor bladder tone, and numbing effects of regional anesthesia used during labor Which of the following would lead the nurse to suspect that a postpartum woman is experiencing a problem? A) Elevated white blood cell count B) Acute decrease in hematocrit C) Increased levels of clotting factors D) Pulse rate of 60 beats/minute - CORRECT ANSWER-B Despite a decrease in blood volume after birth, hematocrit levels remain relatively stable and may even increase. An acute decrease is not an expected finding. Red blood cell production ceases early in the puerperium, causing mean hemoglobin and hematocrit levels to decrease slightly in the first 24 hours. During the next 2 weeks, both levels rise Downloaded by James Mcknight (careerdigitals@gmail.com) lOMoARcPSD|28323056 slowly. The white blood count, which increases in labor, remains elevated for the first 4 to 6 days after birth but then falls to 6,000 to 10,000/mm3. The WBC count remains elevated for the first 4 to 6 days and clotting factors remain elevated for 2 to 3 weeks. Bradycardia (40 to 70 beats per minute) for the first two weeks reflects the decrease in cardiac output. The increase in cardiac output and stroke volume during pregnancy begins to diminish after birth once the placenta has been delivered. The nurse develops a teaching plan for a postpartum client and includes teaching about how to perform Kegel exercises. The nurse includes this information for which reason? A) Reduce lochia B) Promote uterine involution C) Improve pelvic floor tone D) Alleviate perineal pain - CORRECT ANSWER-C Muscle clenching perineal exercises help to improve pelvic floor tone, strengthen perineal muscles, and promote healing, ultimately helping to prevent urinary incontinence later in life. Kegel exercises have no effect on lochia, involution, or pain. After reviewing information about postpartum blues, a group of students demonstrate understanding when they state which of the following about this condition? A) Postpartum blues is a long-term emotional disturbance. B) Sleep usually helps to resolve the blues. C) The mother loses contact with reality. D) Extended psychotherapy is needed for treatment. - CORRECT ANSWER-B Postpartum blues require no formal treatment other than support and reassurance because they do not usually interfere with the woman's ability to function and care for her infant. Nurses can ease a mother's distress by encouraging her to vent her feelings and demonstrating patience and understanding with her and her family. Suggest that getting outside help with housework and infant care might help her to feel less overwhelmed until the blues ease. Provide telephone numbers she can call when she feels down during the day. Making women aware of this disorder, while they are pregnant, will increase their knowledge about this mood disturbance, which may lessen their embarrassment and increase their willingness to ask for and accept help if it does occur A nurse is developing a teaching plan for a postpartum woman who is breast- feeding about sexuality and contraception. Which of the following would the nurse most likely include? (Select all that apply.) A) Resumption of sexual intercourse about two weeks after delivery B) Possible experience of fluctuations in sexual interest C) Use of a water-based lubricant to ease vaginal discomfort D) Use of combined hormonal contraceptives for the first three weeks E) Possibility of increased breast sensitivity during sexual activity - CORRECT ANSWER-B, C, E Typically, sexual intercourse can be resumed once bright-red bleeding has stopped and the perineum is healed from an episiotomy or lacerations. This is usually by the third to Downloaded by James Mcknight (careerdigitals@gmail.com) lOMoARcPSD|28323056 the sixth week postpartum. Fluctuations in sexual interest are normal. In addition, breastfeeding women may notice a let-down reflex during orgasm and find that breasts are very sensitive when touched by their partner. Precoital vaginal lubrication may be impaired during the postpartum period, especially in breastfeeding women. The use of water-based gel lubricants can help. After teaching a group of students about risk factors associated with postpartum hemorrhage, the instructor determines that the teaching was successful when the students identify which of the following as a risk factor? (Select all that apply.) A) Prolonged labor B) Placenta previa C) Null parity D) Hydramnios E) Labor augmentation - CORRECT ANSWER-B, D, E Risk factors for postpartum hemorrhage include precipitous labor less than 3 hours, placenta previa or abruption, multiparity, uterine overdistention such as with a large infant, twins, or hydramnios, and labor induction or augmentation. Prolonged labor over 24 hours is a risk factor for postpartum infection. A nurse is observing a postpartum client interacting with her newborn and notes that the mother is engaging with the newborn in the en face position. Which of the following would the nurse be observing? A) Mother placing the newborn next to bare breast. B) Mother making eye-to-eye contact with the newborn C) Mother gently stroking the newborns face D) Mother holding the newborn upright at the shoulder - CORRECT ANSWER-B The en-face position is characterized by the mother interacting with the newborn through eye-to-eye contact while holding the newborn. Bonding is a vital component of the attachment process for establishing parent-infant attachment and a healthy, loving relationship. During this early period of acquaintance, mothers touch their infants in a characteristic manner. Mothers visually and physically "explore" their infants, initially using their fingertips on the infant's face and extremities and progressing to massaging and stroking the infant with their fingers. This is followed by palm contact on the trunk. Eventually, mothers draw their infant toward them and hold the infant. Kangaroo care refers to skin-to-skin contact between the mother and newborn. When reviewing the medical record of a postpartum client, the nurse notes that the client has experienced a third-degree laceration. The nurse understands that the laceration extends to which of the following? A) Superficial structures above the muscle B) Through the perineal muscles C) Through the anal sphincter muscle D) Through the anterior rectal wall - CORRECT ANSWER-C A third-degree laceration extends through the anal sphincter muscle. A first-degree laceration involves only the skin and superficial structures above the muscle. A secondDownloaded by James Mcknight (careerdigitals@gmail.com) lOMoARcPSD|28323056 degree laceration extends through the perineal muscles. A fourth-degree laceration continues through the anterior rectal wall The nurse is assessing a postpartum client's lochia and finds that there is about a 4-inch stain on the perineal pad. The nurse documents this finding as which of the following? A) Scant B) Light C) Moderate D) Large - CORRECT ANSWER-B The amount of lochia is described as light or small for an approximately 4-inch stain. Scant refers to a 1- to 2-inch stain of lochia; moderate refers to a 4- to 6-inch stain; and large or heavy refers to a pad that is saturated within 1 hour after changing. A nurse is completing a postpartum assessment. Which finding would alert the nurse to a potential problem? A) Lochia rubra with a fleshy odor B) Respiratory rate of 20 breaths per minute C) Temperature of 101 F D) Pain rating of 4 on a scale from 0 to 10 - CORRECT ANSWER-C Typically, the new mother's temperature during the first 24 hours postpartum is within the normal range. Some women experience a slight fever, up to 100.4º F (38º C), during the first 24 hours. A temperature above 100.4º F (38º C) at any time or an abnormal temperature after the first 24 hours may indicate infection and must be reported. Foulsmelling lochia or lochia with an unexpected change in color or amount, shortness of breath, or respiratory rate below 16 or above 20 breaths per minute would also be a cause for concern. The goal of pain management is to have the woman's pain scale rating maintained between 0 to 2 points at all times, especially after breast-feeding A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a postpartum client. The nurse identifies that the woman is at risk for a postpartum infection based on which of the following? (Select all that apply.) A) History of diabetes B) Labor of 12 hours C) Rupture of membranes for 16 hours D) Hemoglobin level 10 mg/dL E) Placenta requiring manual extraction - CORRECT ANSWER-A, D, E Risk factors for postpartum infection include history of diabetes, labor over 24 hours, hemoglobin less than 10.5 mg/dL, prolonged rupture of membranes (more than 24 hours), and manual extraction of the placenta After teaching parents about their newborn, the nurse determines that the teaching was successful when they identify the development of a close emotional attraction to a newborn by parents during the first 30 to 60 minutes after birth as which of the following? Downloaded by James Mcknight (careerdigitals@gmail.com) lOMoARcPSD|28323056 A) Reciprocity B) Engrossment C) Bonding D) Attachment - CORRECT ANSWER-C The development of a close emotional attraction to the newborn by parents during the first 30 to 60 minutes after birth describes bonding. Reciprocity is the process by which the infant's capabilities and behavioral characteristics elicit a parental response. Engrossment refers to the intense interest during early contact with a newborn. Attachment refers to the process of developing strong ties of affection between an infant and significant other. After normal labor and birth, a client is discharged from the hospital 12 hours later. When the community health nurse makes a home visit 2 days later, which finding would alert the nurse to the need for further intervention? A) Presence of lochia serosa B) Frequent scant voidings C) Fundus firm, below umbilicus D) Milk filling in both breasts - CORRECT ANSWER-B Infrequent or insufficient voiding may be a sign of infection and is not a normal finding on the second postpartum day. Lochia serosa, a firm fundus below the umbilicus, and milk filling the breasts are expected findings. As part of an in-service program, a nurse is describing a transient, self-limiting mood disorder that affects mothers after childbirth. The nurse correctly identifies this as postpartum: A) Depression B) Psychosis C) Bipolar disorder D) Blues - CORRECT ANSWER-D Postpartum blues are manifested by mild depressive symptoms of anxiety, irritability, mood swings, tearfulness, increased sensitivity, feelings of being overwhelmed, and fatigue. They are usually self-limiting and require no formal treatment other than reassurance and validation of the woman's experience as well as assistance in caring for herself and her newborn. A multipara client develops thrombophlebitis after delivery. Which of the following would alert the nurse to the need for immediate intervention? A) Dyspnea, diaphoresis, hypotension, and chest pain B) Dyspnea, bradycardia, hypertension, and confusion C) Weakness, anorexia, change in the level of consciousness, and coma D) Pallor, tachycardia, seizures, and jaundice - CORRECT ANSWER-A Sudden unexplained shortness of breath and complaints of chest pain along with diaphoresis and hypotension suggest pulmonary embolism, which requires immediate action. Other signs and symptoms include tachycardia, apprehension, hemoptysis, syncope, and sudden change in the woman's mental status secondary to hypoxemia. Anorexia, seizures, and jaundice are unrelated to a pulmonary embolism. Downloaded by James Mcknight (careerdigitals@gmail.com) lOMoARcPSD|28323056 After teaching a woman with a postpartum infection about care after discharge, which client statement indicates the need for additional teaching? A) I need to call my doctor if my temperature goes above 100.4 F. B) When I put on a new pad, I'll start at the back and go forward. C) If I have chills or my discharge has a strange odor, I'll call my doctor. D) I'll point the spray of the peri bottle so the water flows front to back. Read the full article

NEIJUAN - LEA SBLANDANO

La pandémie du Covid-19 est terminée, tout le monde est connecté. Le projet Neijuan, qui signifie « involution » en mandarin, questionne l’identité dans une société qui se remet en question. Ce terme est utilisé pour définir plusieurs générations de personnes épuisées par des comparaisons et un rythme de vie effréné. Hors de ce monde réel où tout le monde est exaspéré de tout, il existe celui à travers les écrans, celui où tout est réalisable, celui dans le quel on se sent bien. Ce monde à travers l’écran nous distance de celui du réel.

J'ai choisi ce projet pour ce qu'il dégage, les photos sont fortes et prenantes. Il y a de vrais enjeux mis en scène pour explorer ce sujet et il est intéressant de voir à quel point les images sembles irréels ou futuriste. Cela fait justement écho à notre société et au multiples stimulations qui peuvent très vite basculer vers un aspect dangereux et dégradant pour les humains. Ce projet pousse à se questionner sur les limites visant notre identité et le lien avec toutes ces technologies qui nous entourent et que nous devons tenter de gérer au mieux, au risque de tomber dans une rapport malsain, et de perdre le contrôle de qui nous sommes réelement.

I don’t know when, “efficiency first” has almost become the mainstream trend of thought in the operation and development of contemporary society. Regardless of the upward “involution” path of individuals, collective teamwork or even corporate management, all aspects of these daily societies follow “efficiency first” This iron law. People living in an ultra-fast-paced era, whether in the “income-generating” moment of making money or in the life experience of consumption and enjoyment, are all pursuing efficiency as much as possible.

In such an environment where everything is fast and speedy, all effective forces that can improve the efficiency and speed of the target process are extremely valuable. As expressed in the well-established real-world saying “Science and technology are the primary productive forces”, The rapidly developing technology is highly praised today because of its significant contribution to social productivity, especially in the application service scenarios provided by various merchants. 3W.com can see that young user groups with limited patience have been Related user experience puts forward higher requirements.

As the saying goes, “A waste of time is a waste of life,” and another familiar saying is: “A waste of time is a waste of money.” This is especially true in the financial world, which focuses on making money from money and where capital and resources are highly concentrated. The efficiency issue in the service field has always been a key point of great concern to the industry.

On the strange feeling and thoughts about the development of GPT

In the current hot generative AI industry, the technology of large models is changing with each passing day. For those who know nothing about it, it is like facing an unknown world with no clue what to do.

It can be said that without sufficient HE Tuber technical knowledge in these fields, just like being illiterate in today's society, you may miss many opportunities.

However, as more and more companies, entrepreneurial teams and research institutions enter this field, I personally feel quite strange. I feel that this field is developing too fast, as if something is wrong.

This is a very valuable topic so thought I would briefly share my thoughts here.

The strange feeling of GPT development

To build a Chinese ChatGPT-like system

Judging from the large-scale model products launched by major manufacturers, they have used their own R&D strength and financial resources to launch products such as Wen Xin Yi Yan and Tong Yi Qian Wen, and have conducted internal testing and applications earlier.

However, its essential ideas are all based on OpenAI's ideas, using data and pre-trained models to create a Chinese version of ChatGPT. At first glance, this seems to be the right path for us.

But there are actually two key problems that we currently cannot solve:

Computing power issue. For example, our country currently does not have NVlink technology similar to NVIDIA (a bandwidth technology that connects multiple chips together to provide more powerful computing power), and this technology is one of the key technologies for training large models.

Data issues. In the training data of ChatGPT, Chinese data accounts for only 0.09905%. Compared with other languages, the proportion of high-quality data is too small.

Personally, I think the above two issues are the most important issues related to the development of the large model industry.

Among them, problem 1 currently has no domestic strength that can be overcome, and more needs to be relied on foreign technical support.

Question 2 Regarding the issue of Chinese data, the current application scope of Chinese in the world is limited. It still takes time to solve the problem of Chinese data quality and quantity.

Energy consumption and cost issues

According to the description of “This AI Competition Sparked by ChatGPT, There’s a Dirty Secret”: Training GPT-3 consumed 1,287 megawatt hours and resulted in the emission of more than 550 tons of carbon dioxide—equivalent to the equivalent of a person traveling between New York and San Francisco. 550 round trips.

The cost of training a large model is not a cost that a small, medium or even large company can easily afford. In addition, attention needs to be paid to topics such as the environment, disaster management and training methods. These factors can lead to high costs for companies.

Although I personally think that many startups still don’t think enough, this does not affect the view that this is an issue that needs attention.

Many companies are still shouting slogans: "In the future, we will build large models belonging to the XX industry." It only focuses on the depth and breadth of application scenarios, without mentioning its own company's advantages, costs, and technical experience reserves.

The large model industry has fallen into a vicious cycle of “involution”

Similar to the past development of the Internet and e-commerce, many companies (including openAI) are already frantically snatching talents for large models. Many of the relevant JD descriptions require large model training, experience in using GPT tools, and prompt engineering. And these will not be familiar to the public before 2022.

In terms of salary, as long as it involves GPT large-scale models, it is basically maintained at a high level of 200,000-800,000 (take Shenzhen as an example).

In addition, large models have also appeared in many industries, such as BloombergGPT (finance), MathGPT (mathematics), etc. There will definitely be more large models with industry attributes in the future.

But this is a very strange phenomenon, similar to the previous voice agents, which split general intelligence into modules one after another. Later, it may become a question of which industry large model is more intelligent.

Thoughts triggered

Macro level

1) National level

Formulate relevant policy support and supervision for large models and generative AI to continuously promote the development of the large model industry.

Explore the feasibility of applying generative AI in China and cooperate with major universities, research institutions and enterprises. Overseas institutions may also be needed to gradually apply it in various industries.

Update or establish majors related to generative AI in colleges and universities, and also focus on the development of chip research and development, statistical science and artificial intelligence majors.

2) Enterprise level

Actively embrace foreign advanced technologies, explore differentiated product positioning/ideas, and surpass the United States from other tracks, rather than making breakthroughs in data and computing power.

Provide support with reserve funds and R&D investment, and encourage innovation and development while ensuring your own survival.

Micro level

practitioners or expected practitioners

Self-learning. Try to use various generation AI tools and use them in life, work and study. When you have time, you can organize and analyze competitive product analysis materials of various AI tools.

When trying to apply for related AI product positions, bring your thinking and summary materials (such as product analysis and product prototypes of the target company, especially AI-related scenario applications) to apply. You don’t need to be very detailed, but it is best to have your own uniqueness. opinion.

(Use with caution) Consider whether further study is necessary. The AI ​​industry itself has certain thresholds. Many times, the study of technology needs to be systematic, combined with your own situation, and understand more famous overseas or domestic colleges and universities (generally majors in artificial intelligence, data science, computer science, etc.).

Regarding the third point, it is particularly important to mention that due to the serious depreciation of academic qualifications in China, further education is a choice with a high opportunity cost. Whether it is interdisciplinary or non-interdisciplinary, there are costs related to time, economy and energy. Employment after graduation is also a challenge, so you need to carefully consider whether to pursue further studies based on your own circumstances.

Pop music and the involution in chord progressions

The prevalence of involution in chord progressions in pop music over the last decade is a fascinating phenomenon that reflects the genre’s evolution, technological advancements, and changing creative approaches. Involution involves returning to simpler and more familiar chord progressions, often reminiscent of earlier musical eras. This can evoke a sense of nostalgia and comfort, which resonates…

Yield per head and per acre absolutely did grow, so you could have larger village populations without clearing land. Moldboard plows, three-field system, using horses rather than oxen for plowing, etc. Involution (where you're stuck in a technological dead end and can't increase yield per head, but you can still increase yield per acre and absolute surplus by throwing more people at it) does happen, but it wasn't universal.

In England, I believe new couples would normally try to establish themselves independently while their parents were still alive (not even necessarily in the same village, land was buyable and sellable even quite far down the social hierarchy; I tried rooting around my hard drive for a paper on this, but couldn't find it), and you didn't normally have multigenerational households (though that doesn't mean households weren't large). In the rest of W. Europe, multigenerational households were pretty common.

There were also large-scale and small-scale land reclamation projects in the medieval/Early Modern period, e.g., the draining of the fens. The Netherlands is, of course, a much larger-scale example than England. During the Early Modern period, there were a lot of massive land reclamation projects in the Mediterranean coastal plains. So, the wetlands and sea as well as/more than the forests.

One extremely notable event, of course is the Black Plague, which (along with the famines), iirc, halved the population of England from ~5M to 2.5M during the 14th c., and regrowth was anomalously slow afterwards for unclear reasons. (I think that's in Dyer, An Age of Transition?) Some entire villages were abandoned, though this was rarer than used to be thought.

(More semi-speculation about increasing yield per acre vs. increasing yield per head.)

Okay so like. I have a stupid question. But like. The rural population of England for example but this applies everywhere. Must have been. Growing. For like. Much of the last 2000 years. But like. When that growth occurs. Where do the extra people....go. Like say you're a farmer and you have two sons. Or whatever. And one gets your house and bit of land when you die. But the other one. Not all of them went to the city. Cuz the rural population also grew. Did he... Clear new land? Like. From the foresf. I mean presumably at some point in the first millennium he was mostly doing that. Most places. But presumably at some point you run out of good farm able land. So like. Is your land output increasing? Like calories per acre? You must reach saturation pretty quickly.

How Technology Is Improving Education

These changes are more profound with the growth of technology. Exactly as with other sectors of the society, technology has changed the education industry. The effect has majorly bordered on the positive. An example of technological effects in the education sector has reared itself in the event of Maths online. This is an Internet application which allows people to undertake mathematical exercises.

The event of Maths online is only one of the several ways that technology is changing the educational landscape. This digital phenomenon has widened its tentacles to all of the other areas of the education industry in varied ways.

How technology is advancing education

Many educational institutions have opened themselves to the concept of technology. These schools have realised that technology is crucial in improving the delivery of education services. Therefore, technology has positively affected various strategies in the classroom. These include:

Demonstration and simulation

Before, sandpits and cardboard boxes were the first thing came to mind when speaking about simulation. These teaching aids are replaced with technological products, which have easily earned the approval of educators. It was evident in the case of Maths online where students interact with graphical teaching aids like charts, bar charts and videos amongst others.

Learners have developed an affinity for SMART boards and computers since these substances help them to understand many concepts. Imathsn the normal classroom setting, such notions would seem gibberish to such consumers of education. Technology has simplified the procedure for demonstrating certain concepts to students. Without technology, pupils have trouble grasping these concepts physically. Concepts which were hitherto invisible to the true eye have become clearly conceivable to students due to the digital elements.

Assessment

Teachers have benefited from the presence of technology because they can evaluate the progress of their pupils easier. A case in point is Maths online, which allows teachers to analyse the progress of students and correct them when they're going wrong. This has accorded teachers with the opportunity to correct learners instantly. Furthermore, they can intervene in the welfare of struggling students and assist them to improve in their grasp of concepts. The fact that teachers can assess students owes credence to technology. Efficient assessment of pupils has allowed teachers to tailor their teaching approaches in keeping with their students' educational requirements.

Epistemic games and e-books

Technology has also assisted the education sector with effective learning materials in the form of epistemic games and learning materials. It has had the desired effect of unlocking the immense potential in a variety of learners. Such learning materials make it possible for individuals to share and save information. The students are only too pleased to interact with these digital learning materials. This is since they're spared from their usual heavy bag composed of text books. This is reflective of Maths online, where students simply need an Internet connection and a computer. Aside from that, there isn't any need to take loads of mathematical learning materials. There's absolutely not any doubt that e-books have provided the education sector with a spark of innovativeness. Learners no longer need to miss out on opportunities like, visualizations, models or simulations.

Global learning

The benefits of technology in the educational sector also have manifested themselves through international learning. Here, learners are able to exchange ideas with their fellow students from different countries. Also, technology has improved language lessons by allowing people from different cultural backgrounds to learn about each other's language. This has been possible as a result of the occurrence of videoconferencing. This technology has improved social interaction while enabling learners to gain exposure to other people's cultures. As a result of language trade, global learning is now simplified. Learners need not make trips to other countries to learn a specific language.

The new technology will enable students to acquire the skills that are crucial to be successful in modern society. Exposure to computer technology in school will permit students to become knowledgeable about the necessary tools from an early age. By utilizing the technology well, they will also acquire better thinking skills to help them become educated citizens and active community members.

If the Internet did not exist, innovative technology could still have so many precious educational applications distance learning software, collaborative learning, etc that far larger investments than are being considered would be justified.

Web resources are excellent tools for researches. Let us not kid ourselves, however. Even if policymakers, professionals, and parents did decide what their intentions were and even when the study findings supported among many configurations of hardware and software, deciding if, how, or should use technology (or some other reform) in the classroom is unlikely to be determined solely on those foundations. A number of different factors--ranging from parental pressure to superintendents wanting to leave their fingerprints on the district to technology companies promoting their goods --shape decisions to purchase and devote technologies to schools.
