El gráfico del modelo de AI de imposición óptima es una isla. Y los robots bailando... si los fabrican en la cooperativa Mondragón, podrían salir bailando aurreskus. Y si los fabrican en Madrí, chotís.

Y los robots bailando... si los fabrican en la cooperativa Mondragón, podrían salir bailando aurreskus. Y si los fabrican en Madrí, chotís.Se acepta el "Sí pero..." porque, efectivamente, estamos todavía lejos de que estos experimentos se "aterricen", pero pienso que a veces no nos damos cuenta de lo cerca que estamos de que este tipo de tecnologías cambien radicalmente el mundo en el que vivimos.Supongo que habrán visto el vídeo de Carlos Santana Vega en el que explica la revolución que ha supuesto el desarrollo de GPT-3La Siguiente Gran Revolución: NLPpasando de 1.500 millones de parámetros que tenía GPT-2 a 175.000 millones en GPT-3 (¡117 veces más!) en poco más de un año (GPT-2 data de febrero de 2019 mientras que GPT-3 se hizo público en mayo de 2020).Evidentemente el tipo de red neuronal utilizada para el "procesamiento del lenguaje natural (NLP) no tiene nada que ver con la que se ha utilizado para la simulación orientada a optimizar la recaudación de impuestos, pero con la capacidad de cálculo actual modelar una población de, digamos, 47 millones de personas (de los cuales pagarán impuestos algo menos de 10 millones) no creo que sea precisamente un problema.Y, en cuanto a los robots... quitando el tema de los bailes regionales (que, efectivamente, está claro que sería así porque ningún terruño dejaría pasar la oportunidad de hacer "patria") les recuerdo que hace tan solo 15 años ASIMO se caía por unas escaleras en una demostración:Honda Asimo takes a nasty fall (2006-12-11)Saludos.

Yo no veo gran diferencia entre Asimo y los del bailecito. Hace ya más de 20 años que veo robots en las líneas de producción automovilística con movimientos muy bien articulados similares a los del vídeo.Permítanme ser escéptico y no creer en ese “gran paso tecnológico” que muchos dicen está a la vuelta de la esquina.En la actualidad la batalla parece estar en ponerle la quinta cámara al móvil.

What is in the EU-China investment treaty?After seven years of talks the EU has secured one of its top priorities in relations with China: an investment agreement that Brussels insists will resolve longstanding problems faced by European companies.But the agreement is likely to be controversial with human rights advocates, given allegations of abuses in China. It could also create friction with the incoming US administration of Joe Biden, who has made clear that he wants an alliance with the EU to bring joint pressure to bear against Beijing over aggressive trade practices. Businesses will also now want to study the small print of the new rights created by the agreement, and how they will be enforced. 1. What Does The Deal Do For The EU?The deal tackles a number of EU grievances. These include longstanding concerns that the bloc’s companies are being forced to share valuable technological knowhow in exchange for being allowed to compete on the Chinese market, along with fears that the country’s state-owned enterprises are unfairly favoured and that the Chinese system of state subsidies is opaque. The deal will “significantly improve the level playing field for EU investors”, including by “prohibiting forced technology transfers and other distortive practices”, the EU said in a statement.Other parts of the deal concern specific sector-by-sector market access rights, removing barriers such as requirements for companies to have partnerships with local firms in joint ventures, and eliminating caps on levels of investment.Areas where EU companies will win enhanced access rights include the automotive sector, telecoms equipment, cloud-computing, private healthcare and ancillary services for air transport. The deal will also put the EU on the same footing as the US when it comes to operating in the Chinese financial services market.2. Does It Resolve Problems In The EU-China Trade Relationship?Speaking to the Financial Times on Wednesday, Valdis Dombrovskis, the EU’s trade commissioner, cautioned that the deal “is not a panacea to address all challenges linked to China, but it brings a number of welcome improvements”. Crucially, the investment treaty is far narrower in scope than the comprehensive free trade agreements that the EU has negotiated with the likes of Canada, Japan and — most recently — the UK. It essentially covers certain non-tariff barriers to business and investment.Mr Dombrovskis identified overcapacity in steel production, unequal access to public procurement contracts and trade in counterfeit goods as issues in the EU-China trade relationship that the deal could not address.The EU is also seeking to tackle broader issues, such as China’s use of industrial subsidies, through reform of the World Trade Organization.“This agreement is just one element, just one thread in a complex tapestry of the EU-China relationship, and of course it is clear that many complex challenges still need to be addressed,” Mr Dombrovskis said.3. What Does China Get Out Of It?For China, the deal is good diplomacy: the incoming Biden administration in the US has made clear that it wants to build an alliance of democracies to put pressure on Beijing over both its human rights record and aggressive trade practices. The deal on the investment treaty strengthens ties with Brussels at a pivotal moment. China entered the talks with fewer market access goals than the EU, which argued that it was the victim of an unlevel playing field. Still, the deal locks in existing rights for Chinese companies in the EU market at a time when the EU is looking to expand its legal arsenal against unfair foreign competition.It also offers China new openings in manufacturing and the growing EU market for renewable energy.EU officials stress that the market opening on renewables is limited (capped at 5 per cent for each EU member state market) and contingent on reciprocal openness from China.4. How Will The Deal Affect Relations With The New US Administration?The EU has taken a risk by pushing ahead, particularly in the light of its parallel efforts to revive the transatlantic relationship after severe tensions during Donald Trump’s presidency.Just four weeks ago, it publicly urged the US to join it in an alliance to assert the interests of the democratic world against “authoritarian powers” and to meet the “strategic challenge” of China.Critics say the EU deal undermines that call for partnership; the EU insists that it is merely winning similar trade benefits to those established in the so-called “Phase 1” trade deal struck by Mr Trump with Beijing. The EU also argues that the deal can help other countries be more assertive in their dealings with China by establishing a new reference point in terms of commitments from Beijing.“We want to engage very closely with the US,” Mr Dombrovskis said. “I am not seeing the Phase 1 deal or our comprehensive agreement on investment as hindering this co-operation in any way.”5. Is The Deal Consistent With EU Goals On Human Rights?The EU claims that “universal, indivisible and interdependent” human rights are “at the heart” of its relations with other countries. But the accord has raised concerns among rights activists because of allegations — denied by Beijing — that Uighur Muslims detained in the western region of Xinjiang are being used as forced labour. The bloc says it has won unprecedented commitments from Beijing, including that China shall make “continued and sustained efforts” to ratify two International Labour Organization conventions against forced labour — but human rights advocates argue this does not go far enough as a guarantee. Reinhard Bütikofer, chair of the European Parliament’s delegation for relations with China, wrote on Twitter on Tuesday that “it is ridiculous [for the EU] to try selling that as a success”.The EU emphasises that the agreement includes a strong “implementation and enforcement mechanism” that covers the commitments on labour rights, as well as other dispute-settlement arrangements.Mr Dombrovskis said that neither the Phase 1 deal with the US nor a Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership agreed this year by Asian and Pacific countries have “sustainable development commitments coming anywhere close” to the EU-China accord.Tensions over this point are certain to feature prominently during the EU’s work on ratifying the agreement — a process that will require endorsement of the deal by the European Parliament.
China central bank says to cap property loans by banks* PBOC asks banks to cap outstanding property loans, mortgages* New rules came as policymakers shift focus back to debt risks* China’s growth has almost recovered to pre-COVID levels* Aims to help banks withstand property market volatilityChina’s central bank issued a regulation on Thursday to cap property loans by banks, as authorities shift their attention back to debt risks and look to guard against any overlending to the property sector.The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) said each bank’s outstanding property loans as a proportion of total loans, as well as its ratio of outstanding mortgages to total loans, should be capped as required.The establishment of the so-called collective management system for real estate loans will enhance lenders’ ability to withstand fluctuations in the real estate market and prevent systemic financial risks caused by over-reliance on real estate loans in the financial system, the PBOC said.With China’s economy nearly fully recovered to pre-coronavirus levels, policymakers have been turning their attention back to financial risks after record bank lending this year. But analysts believe China’s overall credit growth will ease but only slightly in the near term as caution remains over the global economic outlook.The government had for years taken measures to restrict credit to the real estate sector to contain financial risks. Nearly 30% of outstanding loans with China’s financial institutions were property loans by the end of September, according to PBOC data.For China’s big four banks, along with China Development Bank, Bank of Communications and Postal Savings Bank of China, the ratio of outstanding property loans to total loans will be capped at 40% and their outstanding mortgages as a proportion of total loans, will be capped at 32.5%.For smaller banks, requirements vary. The PBOC said the requirements could be adjusted upward or downward by 2.5 percentage points depending on the region’s economic performance.Banks that do not meet the requirements would be granted a grace period. If they missed the requirements by less than 2 percentage points, they would be granted a grace period of two years. If more than 2 percentage points, the grace period would be four years.By end of June, property-related loans accounted for 38.9% and 38.5% of total outstanding loans at China Construction Bank Corp and Bank of China, respectively, according to data compiled by Founder Securities Co Ltd , bringing them close to the 40% upper limit.The new rule, due to take effect from Jan. 1, will further limit the access of funding for property firms, many of which are heavily indebted.In August, regulators outlined caps for debt-to-cash, debt-to-assets and debt-to-equity ratios - known as “the three red lines” - at a meeting with 12 major property developers in Beijing.“‘The three red lines’ will manage capital demand (from property firms), while the property loan management rules will tighten capital supplies,” said Pan Hao, a senior analyst at the Beike Real Estate Research Institute.Though not officially announced, developers expect “the three red lines” to be applied sector-wide as soon as Friday.

Lo firman como elaboración propia pero no encuentro los datos en que se basa. Así a ojo, si dicen que el coste de los intereses de la deuda pública serían un 4% del PIB, estan asumiendo algo así como un 200% de deuda / PIB con unos tipos de interés del 2%? Si este es el caso y los intereses suben al 5% estarían pagando en interés el 10% del PIB. Sin pagar el principal. Con la población más envejecida. Y todo ésto con el personal ya cabreado y armado hasta los dientes... antes de empezar ya no los recortes, sino de ni siquiera impedir que crezca.What can go wrong?
