Taobao and Tmall make a new round of adjustments
- Taobao Tmall established three industry development departments, and the relevant middle offices of the group were merged.
- This is an extension of the "1+6+N" organizational transformation.
- Frequent organizational restructuring can have a negative impact on employees.
According to 36kr, after Zhang Yong announced the launch of the "1+6+N" organizational reform, Taobao Tmall is undergoing a new round of adjustments.
Fuxue, the person in charge of the original industry operation and development center, left due to personal reasons. The center holds all the merchant resources of Taobao and Tmall. After that, it will be split into three industry development departments.
The two centers of user operation and platform strategy are still retained, and Xuande and Sihan continue to be in charge.
In addition to the structural adjustment of Taobao Tmall itself, part of the original group's business and supply chain platforms that were strongly related to Taobao Tmall were also merged into Taobao Tmall in this round of adjustments.
From the perspective of organizational management, Taobao Tmall’s current round of adjustments follows the adjustment logic previously emphasized by Zhang Yong, CEO of Alibaba, to disperse the original middle-end business into major businesses, and continue to reuse the capabilities accumulated in the original middle-end.
"LatePost" quoted an old employee of Ali as commenting: Ali's adjustment actions in the past two years have brought more personnel turbulence than a direct solution to business problems. As the middle class, they have no permanent property, so they have no perseverance. For enterprises, organizational adjustment should be the result of business adjustment, not the other way around.
New version of "Mask Guidelines" released
Yesterday, the Epidemic Prevention and Control Group of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council issued the "Guidelines for the Prevention of Novel Coronavirus Infection by the Public Wearing Masks (April 2023 Edition)".

ChatGPT may return to Italy
The Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante) has laid out a series of "specific" requirements, which it says OpenAI will be able to return to Italy after fulfilling these conditions.
Garante requested that OpenAI need to inform Italian users of the "method and logic" behind the operation of ChatGPT; provide tools for Italian users whose data has been used to apply for modification or deletion of personal data; OpenAI should also provide an "easy and accessible "A way" to let non-users object to their personal data being used for algorithm processing; provide an age verification system by next month, and prevent users under the age of 13 from using it.
Earlier, Garante launched an investigation into OpenAI on the grounds of alleged violations of data collection rules, and announced a ban on the use of ChatGPT, temporarily restricting OpenAI from processing Italian user data.
Financing in Silicon Valley is difficult, a16z and others are running to the Middle East to seek funds
The Four Seasons in Riyadh is basically Palo Alto now.
Silicon Valley investment firms such as Andreessen Horowitz and Tiger Global Management have been sending executives to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates in recent weeks as existing North American and European investors grapple with the economic downturn and tighten private investment.
U.S. institutional investment has exploded in recent years, fueled in part by soaring tech valuations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mega-funds that once valued exclusivity, such as Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz, have raised as much as $5 billion, and sometimes as much as $9 billion. The shift has also been exacerbated by the likes of Japan's SoftBank and Tiger Global, which have poured tens of billions of dollars into start-ups.
A partner at a venture capital fund with over $4 billion in assets under management said:
These guys built on a foundation of massive, high-velocity investors who are now prisoners of the capital cycle.
Twitter has been merged into X Corp
According to Bloomberg, after the merger of Twitter and the newly established shell company X Corp, it is no longer an independent company.
After the merger with X Corp, Twitter "ceases its existence," court documents say. Musk has previously said that buying Twitter would be part of creating X, which he called an "everything app."
Wang Xiaochuan: General Artificial Intelligence is a Renaissance
In a recent interview, Sogou co-founder Wang Xiaochuan further talked about the impact of AI and his thoughts on returning to entrepreneurship.
In Wang Xiaochuan's view, ChatGPT mastering language is a very ingenious path to AGI (General Artificial Intelligence), which masters the ability of abstraction and reasoning, and is based on language.
Or my original sentence, when the machine masters the language, the era of strong artificial intelligence will come.
He believes that human evolution will be divided into three steps: the first layer is information. In the past, machines first connected dots to connect information; later, people can search and then recommend.
Starting today, I think it will go both ways, and machines will provide companionship and knowledge services to people. For humans, it's a companion.
At the same time, he believes that in the future, there will be many digital beings who will become companions and loyal assistants, and the price will be very cheap, much cheaper than hiring a lawyer alone, and people will get a lot of inclusive services.
This will even out the industrial chain, and it is likely that a person will be a company in the future.
It will be a renaissance where everyone becomes who they want to be.
The new iPhone SE may use a self-developed 5G chip
A research report from Haitong International pointed out that Apple plans to launch an iPhone SE in 2025 equipped with a custom-designed 5G modem, and the chip of the modem will be produced by TSMC.
Some time ago, Ming-Chi Kuo also reported that Apple started the development of the fourth-generation iPhone SE, which will be equipped with a 6.1-inch OLED display and an Apple-designed 5G modem.
At the time he said the modem would use TSMC's 4nm process and would only support sub-6GHz bands, meaning mmWave wouldn't be supported initially.
The solid-state buttons of the iPhone 15 Pro may be gone
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will not be equipped with the high-profile solid-state buttons because they "failed to solve the technical problems in mass production."
In October last year, Ming-Chi Kuo predicted that the iPhone 15 Pro series will be equipped with solid-state buttons, which will be fed back by two additional Taptic Engines in the iPhone to simulate physical buttons, similar to the Home button on the iPhone 7.
The same forecast was also supported in a report by Haitong International analysts Jeff Pu and Shelly Chou. Analysts believe that solid-state buttons have been delayed to the iPhone 16 series.
Ming-Chi Kuo said the change would be particularly unfavorable to suppliers Cirrus Logic and AAC Technologies, whose shares fell 12% and 14%, respectively.
Jikrypton X Officially Released
