二手拍賣平台「旋轉拍賣」，在四月地球日之際分享最新的二手手機商品趨勢，發現 iPhone 舊機型仍保值，又以 iPhone 12 為交易量第一。即日起至 5 月 5 日旋轉拍賣全站更提供運費優惠。

根據最新的聯合國電子廢物監測報告顯示，全球電子垃圾量已達歷史新高，僅 22% 有妥善回收。長期致力於推廣循環經濟的二手拍賣平台「旋轉拍賣」，在四月地球日之際分享最新的二手手機商品趨勢，發現 iPhone 舊機型仍保值，又以 iPhone 12 為交易量第一，即日起至 5 月 5 日旋轉拍賣全站更提供運費優惠。

二手手機市場崛起，旋轉拍賣發現 iPhone 舊機型仍保值

手機及配件類別近期迅速崛起，成為旋轉拍賣平台上新興熱門項目之一，穩居用戶搜尋類別前五名。在平台全類別的熱搜關鍵詞中，iPhone 不僅擠進搜尋榜單的前段，且在手機及配件類別中的搜索量更是遙遙領先。此外，三星品牌也成功打入熱搜排行榜前三十名。

2024年第一季「手機及配件」排行榜
排名	用戶關鍵字搜尋量	上架商品量	成交量
1	iPhone	iPhone 12	iPhone 12
2	iPhone 13	iPhone 13	iPhone 13
3	iPhone 11	iPhone 14	iPhone 11
4	iPhone 12	iPhone 11	iPhone 14
5	Samsung S23 Ultra	iPhone 15	iPhone XR

在台灣，蘋果品牌的手機市占率居首，其高保值性使得二手市場上蘋果手機依然非常受歡迎。特別是 2020 年推出的 iPhone 12，在二手市場上表現相當出色，128GB 版本的平均售價為 8,360 元台幣。這顯示用戶追求最新型號的情況下，舊款 iPhone 仍能以相對高的價格被轉售。

用戶選購注重 CP 值，狀況良好商品銷量優於近全新商品

二手手機的價格優勢是吸引買家的重要因素，以 iPhone 14 Pro 128GB 為例，在旋轉拍賣平台上，狀況良好的商品銷量表現最佳，其次是接近全新的商品。這反映當用戶選購二手手機時，通常會考慮到價格與性能的比值，也就是 CP 值。

就價格層面而言，接近全新狀態的 iPhone 14 Pro 128GB 的平均售價為 24,800 元（約為官方新機價格 7 折），狀況良好的商品售價為 22,000 元（約官方價格 63 折），輕度使用的商品售價則為 21,000 元（約官方價格 6 折），而狀況尚可的商品售價則降至 16,300 元（約官方價格 46 折）。用戶能夠根據自己的需求和預算，選擇最適合自己的二手手機。

旋轉拍賣呼籲用戶加入二手循環經濟，為響應地球日提供運費優惠

根據2024年聯合國電子廢物監測報告，2022 年全球電子廢物總量達到 6200 萬公噸，其中僅 22% 獲得妥善處理。舉例來說，購買一部全新 iPhone 14 會產生約 69 公斤二氧化碳，但選擇同款二手手機則可節省約 36 公斤碳排放，約減少 53%。面對全球電子廢物日增，旋轉拍賣呼籲用戶加入二手循環經濟，賣出自己舊手機，並以購買狀況良好的二手機取代全新手機。

而旋轉拍賣為響應地球日，鼓勵消費者選擇二手商品，即日起至 5 月 5 日提供運費優惠：全站輸入 <EARTH24> 滿 $209 享運費 $35；下單名牌精品輸入 <LUX24> 滿 $1,800 即享免運，更多二手手機商品請見旋轉拍賣頁面。

真正的創新在於定義 AI 能力的下一個典範轉移。

4月25日，OpenAI 首席執行長山姆·阿特曼（Sam  Altman）在史丹佛進行了一次閉門演講，談論了人工智慧的發展與對社會的影響。史丹佛大學CS系的Wanrong He在「x」上總結了阿特曼的演講： 

"Startups & research focusing only on current #AI limitations may be futile, as GPT-5 and GPT-6 will likely render those efforts obsolete," warned @sama at @Stanford.

He envisions AI redefining entertainment with personalized, interactive experiences blending movies & games. pic.twitter.com/qVxUhMkUrF

— Wanrong He (@WanrongHe) April 25, 2024

在linkedin上，Wanrong He進一步陳列了關鍵要點： 

AI發展的快速步伐 

• GPT—4之後的下一個AI模型將更加強大，這表明該領域的發展速度非常快。
• 雖然複製 GPT-4 等現有模型相對簡單，但真正的創新在於定義 AI 能力的下一個典範轉變。
• Sam 將 AI 的潛力與 iPhone 對移動計算的變革性影響相提並論。 

探索通往 AGI 的道路 

• OpenAI的使命是實現AGI。開源AI可能不是實現這一目標的最佳方法。
• 提供免費、無廣告的ChatGPT是OpenAI在追求目標的同時積極影響社會的方式。為了讓所有人都能使用人工智慧，重點應該是使人工智慧計算非常實惠，並在全球範圍內廣泛使用，消除不平等。
• 作為一種旨在增強人類的工具，沒有必要為ChatGPT注入情感。
• 沒有必要害怕超級人工智慧，因為與未來的模型相比，每個新模型其實都會被認為是有不足的，但這也這推動了持續的改進。 

創新與創業機會

• 僅僅專注於解決當前的人工智慧局限性可能是徒勞的，因為未來的模型的出現，如GPT-5和GPT-6，可能會使這些努力過時。
• 像OpenAI的Sora這樣的突破性技術可以重新定義娛樂，產生將電影和遊戲融合在一起的個性化互動體驗。
• 人工智慧初創公司有很大的潛力，但他們的成功並不能僅僅通過AI來保證。他們仍然必須堅持商業基本原則。
• 一般來說，雖然人工智慧可能在國際象棋等某些領域超過人類，但人們仍然更喜歡觀看人類選手的比賽。不過，阿特曼指出了一些相反的例子，比如青少年更喜歡與人工智慧治療師交談，而不是與人類進行對話。 

 

• 延伸閱讀：OpenAI的執行長山姆·阿特曼布局 Web3，目標是發錢給全人類，共享 AI 利潤
• 延伸閱讀：山姆·阿特曼：為什麼我們應該害怕機器智能？我們又應該如何應對

Wanrong He總結稱，阿特曼的演講為人工智慧的未來勾勒出了一副變革性的藍圖。他強調了 AI 的快速進展，OpenAI對於通用人工智慧（AGI）的追求，必須創新地利用人工智慧的潛力來應對社會挑戰，以及人類與AI之間不斷演變的關係。 

阿特曼 2005 年從史丹佛大學退學，據stanforddaily報導，阿特曼告訴聽眾，多年來，OpenAI 的使命沒有改變，但結構已經並將繼續進行調整。目前，OpenAI 的結構包括一個營利性子公司，但仍受非營利性使命的約束。 

「我認為賺錢是件好事，我也認為資本主義是件好事」，阿特曼 說。「我在董事會中的聯合創始人都有在創造經濟利益，但我從未見過他們不重視我們的使命。我們現在的結構，其實有助於確保激勵機制與我們的使命保持一致。」 

由於OpenAI的研究需要高昂的運算投入和人力成本，伴生的資金需求催生出了營利性子公司的存在。但阿特曼 表示，「無論我們每年燒掉 5 億美元，還是 50 億美元或 500 億美元，我都真的不在乎－－只要我們保持這樣的發展軌跡，只要我們能找到支付帳單的方法，最終為社會創造的價值遠遠超過這個數字就可以。」 

ChatGPT 是 OpenAI 向 AGI 邁出的一步。 阿特曼說，「ChatGPT 的功能和表現只能算是勉強合格，甚至有些尷尬。」他接著說：「但GPT-4是你們當中的任何人都將再次使用的最愚蠢的模型，它還差得很多。不過及早且頻繁地推出產品是很重要的，我們相信迭代部署的力量。」 

阿特曼相信，要讓社會為技術進步做好準備，依賴於負責任的迭代部署，即使是不完美的模型。阿特曼稱，「如果我們在地下室裡建造了人工智慧，然後全世界都蒙著眼睛懵懵懂懂地往前走，我不認為這會有什麼好處。」他希望的是，讓社會與技術共同發展，「讓社會告訴我們，社會集體和人們個人希望從技術中獲得什麼。」 

他也不擔心人類的創新會被扼殺，阿特曼表示，「所有的歷史都表明，當你給人們更多的籌碼時，他們會做出更多驚人的事情。」

去年11月，阿特曼的CEO職務曾被OpenAI 董事會解除，隨後超700名OpenAI員工聯合簽署了一封公開信給董事會，表明如果阿特曼不能復職，他們將集體離職並轉投微軟。 

當被問及OpenAI員工這種壓倒性的支持態度時，阿特曼表示，這源自於員工們深切的使命感和對這一使命的忠誠。他認為，這種對使命的忠誠和熱情是推動成功最強大的動力，至少在他所見過的所有初創企業中是這樣的。 

阿特曼最後說，「我們欠自己和未來的人們一個更美好的世界」，而AGI 可以為社會帶來高品質的教育、疾病治療、娛樂和太空探索。

NVIDIA在AI on RTX技術與應用分享會實際展示多樣AI應用程式與功能，其中也包含具有RAG功能的ChatRTX。

NVIDIA在AI on RTX技術與應用分享會實際展示多樣AI應用程式與功能，其中也包含具有RAG功能的ChatRTX。

離線聊天機器人幫你整理文件

NVIDIA先前在CES 2024（消費性電子展）的動態展示中，介紹了具有RAG（Retrieval Augmented Generation，檢索增強生成）功能的Chat with RTX聊天機器人，並在正式發表時改名為ChatRTX。

• 延伸閱讀：
• GTC 2024春季場系列報導
• NVIDIA說明Windows作業系統AI應用（上）：強調高階AI功能優勢
• NVIDIA說明Windows作業系統AI應用（下）：多種AI應用功能展示（本文）

ChatRTX的能夠在搭載NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30、RTX 40系列顯示卡與顯示晶片的Windows作業系統電腦上運作，它最大的特色就是能夠執行Mistral、Llama 8B、Llama 13B、ChatGLM3等大型語言模型（Large Langue Model，LLM），並透過RAG技術導入使用者自有的文字文件、圖片、影片等資料與數據，達到快速客製化的效果。由於程式在本地端運作，因此不需將資料上傳至雲端，不但執行速度更快，且可避免資料外流的風險。

另一方面，ChatRTX也整合CLIP（Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining）以及Whisper等程式，達到讓「人工智慧」能夠協助整理圖片以及語音（含錄音檔案與影片中的語音）等資料，讓ChatRTX能夠發揮更強大的個人助理功能。

▲ 活動現場展示區一樣由NVIDIA技術行銷經理蘇家興進行介紹。

▲ ChatRTX可以根據使用者提供的資料庫搭配大型語言模型運作，有利於生成客製化且更實用的回應。

▲ 例如現場操作展示為讓ChatRTX搜尋資料庫中，並列出具有2隻貓的圖片。

▲ ChatRTX的系統需求一覽。

多樣AI功能展示

NVIDIA也在會場提供了DLSS 3.5、RTX HDR、ACE等遊戲相關功能。DLSS 3.5部分使用《心靈殺手2》進行示範，透過光線重建功能可以降低因為升頻過成使用的降噪演算法而細節遭抹除的問題，提供更細膩、完整的畫面細節，RTX HDR則是可以將現有遊戲自動加入HDR功能，強化亮暗對比與色彩呈現能力。

ACE部分則與先前在CES 2024展示的「拉麵店」不同，而是以全新的推理遊戲方式進行，玩家可以透過語音與遊戲中角色對談，抽絲剝繭以找珠真相。但是人品出眾的讀者又……把人家的東西搞壞了。

在創作者應用方面，NVIDIA展示了搭載行動版GeForce RTX 4090顯示晶片的筆記型電腦與Apple MacBook Pro進行Stable Diffusuion圖像生成的對比，在相同條件下2者生成圖片花費的時間分別為9.7秒與167.6秒，差距相當大。此外NVIDIA也展示Topaz Photo AI進行照片物件去除的效果。

▲ 會場以實機展示《心靈殺手2》呈現DLSS 3.5的效果。

▲ DLSS 3.5的光線重建功能可以降低因為升頻過成使用的降噪演算法而細節遭抹除，而保留窗框左側的窗廉花紋陰影。

▲ RTX HDR（左側）可以為所有遊戲強制開啟AI增強的HDR功能，讓對比與色彩更加鮮明。

▲ 蘇家興實際展示ACE透過語音與遊戲中角色互動的過程。

▲ 筆者操作時可能因為氣場過於強烈的關係，出了一點小問題。

▲ 使用行動版GeForce RTX 4090顯示晶片進行Stable Diffusuion圖像生成僅花費9.7秒，Apple MacBook Pro則需167.6秒。

▲ Topaz Photo AI可以透過AI消除照片中的指定物件。

▲ 將小女孩前方的蕃茄醬罐消除後，會自動填充對應的畫面內容。

筆者預計製作ChatRTX動手玩專題，在這段期間讀直者也可以至NVIDIA官方網站下載程式親自嘗試。

Or that you could connect up to four controllers at once to play games with friends? So many quality of life features that I have been taking advantage of. These features are best used with some corresponding accessories. I wanted to list some of my favorites that I have been using to really get the most out of Delta!

Embark with Jack Holmes in a macabre story of living puppets, uncontrolled animatronics and more nightmarish beings through places as strange as a house where experiments are done with children, some mines full of huge spiders or a terrifying amusement park while you do everything to survive. You’ll also have to manage the bullets and first aid kits you find… oh, and don’t forget to get on the rides!

YOU WILL FACE A LOT OF THREATS
Empty your enemies’ magazines while doing everything you can to survive! You’ll face various types of enemies with different mechanics and even bosses – you won’t be able to run or hide from anyone here!

VARIOUS AND UNIQUE SCENARIOS
Dark and terrifying locations, an abandoned house, a basement where children are experimented on, the old abandoned mines and even an amusement park that you can visit at your own pace as you explore every corner in search of ammo and first aid kits to survive.

A fair where you can ride the rides! Explore each part of the park with its own atmosphere, and enjoy all the attractions. But don’t be overconfident, danger lurks around every corner.

And ride the roller coasters!
