For Hong Kong to succeed in AI, energy cannot be an afterthought

The artificial intelligence competition is by nature an energy competition. The conventional narrative focuses on faster chips, yet training and inference consume vast amounts of power. The harsh geographic paradox is that the regions most advanced in artificial intelligence (AI) often face the most acute power constraints. Hong Kong has emerged as a premier global AI hub. According to the Global AI Competitiveness Index, the city ranks third globally as an AI financial powerhouse. The chief...

Japan confronts the dark side of its teenagers’ AI addiction

She was among five girls in Japan believed to have beaten a boy so severely that he required hospital treatment. Yet her most pressing concern was how much money the group should demand from him. To find an answer, she turned to artificial intelligence. The alleged assault took place in January in Hachioji, a city in western Greater Tokyo. For experts, the case has exposed a disturbing pattern: Japanese adolescents instinctively turning to AI to guide their actions, including criminal ones,...

How ‘lying flat’ went from a niche subculture to mainstream phenomenon

In late April, China’s top intelligence agency claimed that foreign forces were weaponising the concept of “lying flat” to dispel young people’s “belief in striving” and undermine social values. Once a niche subculture, “lying flat” has evolved into a mainstream phenomenon over the past five years. “Lying flat” became a buzzword on Chinese social media around 2021 during the coronavirus pandemic. At the time, the phrase was usually applied to people who had completely dropped out of the rat...

Gold without proof of origin as an inheritance/donation

I'm currently dealing with the following scenario, perhaps the swarm of knowledge can help with input: Mother (70) would like to pass on an early inheritance/gift to her two children. Child 1 is to receive a property worth €160k. Of course, child 2 shouldn't go away empty-handed and would therefore receive around €75k in cash and 700g of fine gold (7 bars of 100g each). Problem: There is no proof of origin for the gold. Ultimately, it was mostly inherited from the grandmother, however

China Is Taking Its AI Boom Under the Sea

The data centre industry has taken off in the last few years, as tech companies look to develop the massive computing power needed to run complex operations, such as artificial intelligence. Thousands of data centres are being developed on land, but now, some countries are looking to establish innovative models in alternative locations, such as underwater. In May, China launched the world’s first wind-powered underwater data centre off the coast of Shanghai, with an investment of around $238 mil

Why Small Modular Reactors Are Becoming a National Security Priority

For decades, energy policy in Washington was debated on the basis of economics, climate change, and domestic politics. That era is over. The United States is entering a period where energy security must be recognized as a core pillar of national security and military readiness. The global competition underway with China is not just about trade or tariffs. It is about industrial capacity, technological dominance, artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductor manufacturing, and defense production -

Child planning - division of care work/finances

Bolivia’s president declares state of emergency, paving way for troop deployment

Bolivia’s crisis intensified on Saturday as President Rodrigo Paz declared a state of emergency, enabling wider military ‌deployment to clear blockades and restore order after protests brought the economy to a halt over the past 50 days. The emergency declaration gives Paz broader constitutional tools to restore order, such as sending armed forces to clear blockades. While the order goes into effect immediately, the president must notify Congress of the state of emergency within 24 hours of...

China puts world’s first smart squid fishing robot to the test

China has tested what it calls the world’s first intelligent squid fishing robot that can mimic the motions performed by humans to attract the deep-water creatures to the surface. The smart machine is currently undergoing sea trials aboard the Song Hang scientific research vessel, which is expected to conduct a survey in the northwestern Pacific Ocean until September. The robot – which can adapt its behaviour based on how squid bite – can offer more humanlike precision than the automated...

Asia’s shaky food supply shudders as ‘super’ El Nino arrives

In the mist-wrapped hills of northern Thailand, where cacao trees erupt from the rich, nutrient-dense soil, three little words are spreading fear through a community of farmers. “There is no way to know for certain,” Koranut Rattanayanyong told This Week in Asia. “But it could be a total wipeout.” The weather event Koranut is dreading? A “super” El Nino. Earlier this month, the climate phenomenon officially started to form over the Pacific, with a bloom of ocean heat running 2.5 degrees Celsius.
