The article discusses how AI technology, specifically ChatGPT, has been used to provide Tarot card readings online. Users can interact with ChatGPT by typing 'I want to know my Tarot card reading' and receive a Tarot card reading based on their chosen topic. While some netizens find the readings surprisingly accurate, others express concerns about whether AI technology will replace human Tarot readers. Many believe that AI readings are currently quite basic and lack the emotional support and analytical abilities provided by human Tarot readers, especially in terms of addressing core issues and emotional nuances. Additionally, AI technology may struggle with traditional Chinese cultural practices like the I Ching, Bagua, and Zi Wei Dou Shu. Overall, the article emphasizes that while ChatGPT can provide entertainment and fun readings, one should not let it influence one's life decisions too significantly.

The weakening yuan reflects a decline in sentiment towards China's economy, as investors turn to havens amidst a bond market rally and expectations of further monetary stimulus.

China recently issued a new regulation on Taiwan independence, announcing the death penalty as the highest punishment for those splitting the country. The DPP Secretary-General criticized China's logic, stating that based on it, all 23 million Taiwanese who elected the president are pro-independence, making even President Hou Yu-yi and Mayor Ko Wen-je culprits intending to split China. The DPP stressed that Taiwan is a sovereign independent state and that China's one-sided 'punishing independence' opinion holds no jurisdiction or legal force in Taiwan. The DPP encouraged China to face Taiwanese public opinion, stop pressuring Taiwanese people, and engage in dialogue with Taiwan's elected government to improve cross-strait relations and maintain regional peace.
