莫让过度炒作耽误新技术

横空出世的AIGC，看似拥有广阔前景和多种可能，但目前该概念尚是一个新兴事物。从实验室到大规模商用落地，还有不短距离，市场各方有必要冷静再三，莫让炒作耽误了好技术的好前程。
兔年首个交易周，A股市场交投活跃，不少板块收获“涨声一片”。其中，AIGC概念板块指数前4个交易日一度上涨逾7%，引得一众投资者蜂拥至互动平台，追问多家上市公司：是否涉足AIGC？
蹿红的AIGC到底是什么？AIGC即AI Generated Content，也就是利用人工智能技术自动生产内容，包括文字、图片、音频、视频、代码等。以最近爆火的聊天机器人ChatGPT为例，这款由美国某实验室推出的机器人既会写论文，也能创作小说，还可编代码，上线仅2个月，月活用户达1亿。因为出乎意料的“聪明”，AIGC被认为是“科技行业的下一个颠覆者”“内容生产力的一次重大革命”。
AIGC的横空出世，与此前红极一时的元宇宙、Web3等一脉相承，背后都有着相应技术支撑，承载着人们对未来生活的美好期待。近年来，随着5G通讯、自然语言生成等底层技术日渐成熟，人工智能突飞猛进，用AI绘画、让聊天机器人写代码……现实场景的成功应用，让人们切实触摸到了AIGC带来的改变。
我国对数字经济的支持，也给AIGC加了一把火。党的二十大报告提出“加快发展数字经济”，数字经济日益成为高质量发展的新引擎，是新一轮国际竞争的重点领域。某种程度上，把握住数字经济发展先机，就能抢占未来发展制高点。代表数字技术方向之一的AIGC，被视作新赛道。
风口之上，谁都想趁机起飞。反映到资本市场，已有不少上市公司积极表态，将在AIGC领域加大投入布局。各路资金也闻风而动，推动相关概念板块一路上涨，多只股票更是接连涨停。
不过，尽管AIGC火爆一时，看似拥有广阔前景和多种可能，但目前该概念尚是一个新兴事物，还存在关键核心技术不成熟、商业应用场景较少、技术伦理挑战突出等问题。从理想到现实，从实验室到大规模商用落地，还有不短距离，市场各方有必要冷静再三，莫让炒作耽误了好技术的好前程。
从过去经验看，利用人们对未来技术的着迷，以及部分投资者幻想一夜暴富的心理动机，过度宣传、借机炒作的事例不胜枚举。这其中，有些是市场资金有意捧之，相关股票被动身价上涨；有些则是上市公司主动“炒概念”“蹭热点”。但无一例外的是，概念炒作越烈，市场泡沫越大，与国家着力发展实体经济的政策基调相去愈远，对相关行业发展的干扰愈甚，到头来难免落得一地鸡毛。
还要注意，随意炒作概念涉嫌市场操纵，一直被监管部门明令禁止。不久前，证监会表示，规范和引导资本市场健康发展，加强对“蹭热点”“炒概念”及上市公司相关方操纵行为的监控处置和打击力度。随着全面注册制正式启动，对相关乱象的整治将只严不松，倘若仍一意炒作，必将被监管部门所不容。
对一项新兴技术，投资者抱有热情的同时，也要保有一份审慎。正如多家上市公司坦言，目前AIGC对业务营收影响不大，仍有待进一步推广应用。AIGC概念股能否受益于技术的发展尚未明朗，投资者需把握好投资尺度，切勿跟风炒作，以防追高被套。
事实上，再神奇的技术也需经过市场反复检验，任何创新产品的价值实现，都应建立在理性的交易秩序之中。投资者多一份价值投资的理智，上市公司多一份久久为功的定力，市场多一份行稳致远的从容，才有助于一个新兴行业的健康长远发展，让梦想更好地照进实现。
中新网评：美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾******
中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后，美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕，众议院共和党领袖凯文·麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录，将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。

由于两党对立加剧、党派内斗、利益分配不均等因素，众议长选举陷入一场拉锯战。在此次众议长竞选中，美国民主党议员继续抱团，多轮投票中，一票不投麦卡锡，共和党右翼“强硬派”领头的约20人小团体也拒绝投票麦卡锡。
麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折，除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外，与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。
一方面，共和党党内反对者认为，麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱，无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府，另一方面，因为共和党的多数优势微弱，党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大，有利于他们巩固自己的选票。
此外，党内反对者也认为，自己的选票没有换取更多利益，希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步，比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。
作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物，众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任，选举几乎没有悬念。然而，麦卡锡此次为当选，不得不做出多个关键让步，其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制，使得众议长的权力被削弱，难以掌控众议院。
美国有线电视新闻网CNN称，麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步，这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。
这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下，党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上，美国两党相互拆台，陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内，也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系，相互对抗，选票变成了谋利益的工具。
从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举，“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈，长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力，其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。
两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病，美国所谓的“民主”形象，让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举，变成了政客们利益置换的游戏，进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能，不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。
House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy
(ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy".
The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader.
Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party.
On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration.
On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses.
Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees.
As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives.
But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker.
CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful.
This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally.
Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits.
From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public.
Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world.
The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.
