Newtalk新聞 人工智慧（AI）應用持續擴張，從雲端資料中心逐步延伸至個人終端裝置。投信法人看好，隨科技巨頭持續投入 AI 基礎建設，雲端與終端運算將成為科技產業兩大成長引擎，除了先進製程及伺服器外，電源管理、液冷散熱、高速網通及高階板材等四大領域，也有望迎來新一波硬體升級商機，為台灣科技股鏈挹注成長動能。 面對近期市場對 AI 投資變現能力的疑慮，國發會主委葉俊顯週日（1 日）表示，美國資本市場目前的擔憂主要集中在 AI 軟體及相關投資的回收效益，但台灣以硬體供應鏈為主，企業至今年底、明年底的訂單仍相對穩定，廠商也賺進許多外匯，資金及現金流也無明顯問題。他認為，這波市場震盪較偏向短期調整，即使對台灣造成衝擊，影響也有限。 國泰投信 ETF 研究團隊指出，當 AI 發展已不再侷限於大型資料中心，隨著應用場景增加，企業對運算效能、能源效率及系統整合的要求同步提高。雲端 AI 除了仰賴先進晶片與伺服器，隨著運算密度及耗電量提升，供電、散熱及高速傳輸的重要性也日益增加；終端 AI 則須在有限空間內兼顧效能、功耗與成本，帶動相關零組件規格升級。 從科技巨頭近期動向來看，微軟日前公布截至 9 月底的 2027 財年第一季財報，單季營收 923 億美元，年增 19%，其中 Azure 雲端業務營收年增 48%，反映企業對雲端運算及 AI 服務需求持續強勁。蘋果則推出搭載 …

Newtalk新聞 最初只是一個頑皮的念頭：如果 OpenAI 的奧特曼帶著 ChatGPT 走進大觀園，遇上林黛玉、王熙鳳、劉姥姥和賈寶玉，會鬧出什麼故事？沒想到，這場思想實驗先成了一篇評論，後來又長出四回章回小說。如今，我想在故事還有餘味時停筆，寫下這篇後記。序章從一個問題開始：假使大觀園人人獲得終身免費、無限的 AI tokens，黛玉會高興嗎？她所缺的，恐怕不是詩句，而是更多的春天。第一百二十一回，黛玉與寶釵談時間和詩；第一百二十二回，探春與鳳姐追問改革和責任；第一百二十三回，劉姥姥提醒奧特曼，客戶不是抽象的需求，而是有難處、有牽掛的人。 到了第一百二十四回，故事忽然反轉。原本厭倦仕途、甚至想離開紅塵的寶玉，看見機器頃刻寫出八股文，卻沒有因此放棄讀書。他反而想弄明白：機器為何能如此聰明？人又為何值得親自求知？於是，這位最不熱衷功名的公子，竟打算去 OpenAI 應徵研究員。故事末了，他只說：「那便好。我去試試。」 寫到這裡，我想先感謝一位已經離世的老師——我在香港讀中學時的中文老師黃志明老師。 當年，黃老師帶領我們讀司馬遷的《史記》，其中包括〈廉頗藺相如列傳〉及 〈信陵君救趙〉，也教我們閱讀其他古文。那時候，我開始好奇：能寫出這些人物故事的司馬遷，究竟是一位怎樣的歷史學家？這份好奇沒有隨著中學畢業而消失。多年以後，我讀到他那句令我久久不能忘懷的話：「究天人之際，通古今之變，成一家之言。」沒想到，幾十年後，我竟會在《AI紅樓夢》裡，讓賈寶玉帶著這句話去探索智能與人類的關係。 說來有趣，我當年香港中學會考的中文科並沒有考到 A。至於究竟拿到什麼等級，就不必在這裡公開了。但我從來沒有因此失去對中文的興趣。如今再回頭看，這份興趣，比當年成績單上的任何一個英文字母都重要。 老師於 2024 年離世，已無法讀到今天的《AI紅樓夢》。但他當年在課堂上播下的種子，竟在幾十年後，以連我自己也沒有預料到的方式繼續生長。謝謝黃志明老師。科技可以改變我們寫作的方法；而一位好老師，卻可能在很久以前，就改變了我們想寫什麼。 這裡也應當坦白一件事：這幾回《AI紅樓夢》，正是在 AI 協助下完成的。各回的人物安排、核心問題，以及大部分章回標題的對偶句，主要由我構思；標題往往先替故事定下方向，例如「賈探春興利論改革，王熙鳳追責問智能」。寫作時，我再與 ChatGPT 反覆討論情節、對白、典故和節奏。尤其每回末尾的七言絕句，大部分由 ChatGPT 起草，再經我挑選、修改。 我很感謝 ChatGPT 的幫忙。它有時提出令人驚喜的呼應，例如讓青埂峰下的頑石，聽見「Touch the Sky」便彷彿想起「補天」。但它也偶爾太熱心，急著把笑話和伏筆解釋清楚。這時，作者只好請它少說兩句：留一點空白給讀者，總比什麼都交代明白有趣。也要特別感謝 Grok …
