说到电脑程序的新闻。
今天我们来说一件事情。
这件事情发生在中国。
很多人每天都在用电脑。
电脑里有很多小程序。
有一个程序非常有名。
大家都认识这个程序。
它是一个很新的东西。
这个程序能做什么呢。
它可以帮你做很多事。
比如你想写一本新书。
它可以帮你把书写完。
你想找一个问题的答案。
它也会很快地回答你。
它比普通人还要聪明。
所以大家都非常喜欢它。
更重要的是什么呢。
这个程序是不要钱的。
你去商店买东西要花钱。
但是用这个程序不花钱。
你可以每天免费用它。
因为不要钱所以用的人多。
大家用了都觉得很高兴。
他们把它放在电脑里。
另外这个程序很特别。
它是怎么做出来的呢。
做它的人告诉了大家。
大家都能看到它的里面。
这就像做菜的方法一样。
所有人都知道怎么做菜。
大家可以一起把它做好。
这听起来是一件大好事。
但是现在事情改变了。
发生了一件奇怪的事情。
中国人开始不用它了。
他们把它从电脑里拿走。
昨天大家还在用这个。
今天大家就不想用了。
大家都在做一样的事情。
为什么会变成这样呢。
这真是一个很大的问题。
它明明是不需要钱的。
它明明是非常聪明的。
它帮了大家很多的忙。
为什么突然就不要了呢。
这里面有很多的原因。
我们现在一个一个来说。
第一个原因非常重要。
第一个原因和安全有关。
什么是电脑的安全呢。
比如你家里有很多钱。
你必须要把家里的门关好。
如果门没关好就不安全。
电脑里的东西也是一样的。
你有很多个人的事情。
你不希望被别人知道。
但是这个程序可能会看。
它在帮你工作的时候。
它也看到了你的秘密。
它可能会把秘密拿走。
把秘密送到很远的地方。
大家觉得这样非常不好。
大家都担心自己的秘密。
因为担心所以不想用了。
前面我们说过一个事情。
大家都知道它是怎么做的。
好人知道了可以做好事。
但是坏人也知道了方法。
坏人可能会找它的问题。
坏人利用这些做坏事。
这让大家觉得更不安全。
所以大家变得越来越害怕。
接下来我们说第二个原因。
这个原因和工作有关系。
很多人每天去公司上班。
公司里有很重要的文件。
老板觉得这个程序有问题。
老板对大家说不能用了。
如果用了公司就不安全。
大家都必须听老板的话。
如果你不听老板的话呢。
你可能就没有工作了。
所以大家工作都很听话。
大家早上回到办公室里。
打开了自己的工作电脑。
把这个聪明的程序拿走。
公司里的人都不用了。
这也是一个很大的原因。
还有很重要的第三个原因。
中国现在发展得非常快。
中国人做出了聪明的程序。
这些新的程序也很好用。
有的程序比那个还要好。
它们在电脑里跑得非常快。
它们写汉字写得很漂亮。
中国人很喜欢这些程序。
因为这些是中国人做的。
所以它们更懂中国文化。
你问关于中国的问题。
新程序回答得非常清楚。
那个外国的程序可能不懂。
它不知道你想说什么。
所以大家更喜欢新程序。
大家觉得新程序更好用。
所以大家改变了习惯。
以前用那个外国的程序。
现在用中国自己的程序。
这个变化发生得非常快。
几个月的时间就全变了。
旧的程序被大家拿走了。
新的程序被大家放进来了。
大家都在学习用新东西。
学习用新程序需要时间。
虽然一开始觉得有点难。
但是大家慢慢就习惯了。
大家都觉得这是一个好事。
因为自己的东西是最安全的。
不用再担心秘密被别人拿走。
大家工作的时候很高兴。
公司的老板也非常高兴。
我们刚才说了三个原因。
第一是因为它不够安全。
第二是因为公司的要求。
第三是因为有了更好的。
因为这三个重要的原因。
大家突然都不用那个程序了。
这件事情让很多人惊讶。
很多外国人也觉得奇怪。
我们刚才说的事情很重要。
这个程序叫Openclaw。
它是一个人工智能程序。
也就是大家说的AI助手。
它是免费并且开源的。
开源就是大家都知道代码。
最近中国在大量卸载它。
卸载就是把它从电脑删除。
因为大家越来越重视安全。
也因为中国有了自己的AI

Speaking of news about computer programs.

Today we are going to talk about something.

This thing happened in China.

Many people use computers every day.

There are many small programs inside computers.

There is one program that is very famous.

Everyone knows this program.

It is a very new thing.

What can this program do?

It can help you do many things.

For example, if you want to write a new book.

It can help you finish writing the book.

If you want to find the answer to a question.

It will also answer you very quickly.

It is even smarter than an ordinary person.

So everyone likes it very much.

What is more important?

This program does not cost money.

You spend money when you buy things at a store.

But using this program doesn't cost money.

You can use it for free every day.

Because it costs no money, many people use it.

Everyone feels very happy using it.

They put it in their computers.

In addition, this program is very special.

How is it made?

The people who made it told everyone.

Everyone can see inside it.

This is just like a recipe for cooking.

Everyone knows how to cook it.

Everyone can work together to make it well.

This sounds like a great thing.

But now things have changed.

A strange thing happened.

Chinese people started to stop using it.

They take it out of their computers.

Yesterday everyone was still using this.

Today everyone doesn't want to use it anymore.

Everyone is doing the same thing.

Why has it become like this?

This is really a big question.

It obviously doesn't need money.

It is obviously very smart.

It helped everyone a lot.

Why suddenly not want it anymore?

There are many reasons for this.

We will now talk about them one by one.

The first reason is very important.

The first reason is related to safety.

What is computer safety?

For example, you have a lot of money at home.

You must close the doors of your house properly.

If the doors are not closed properly, it is not safe.

The things inside a computer are the same.

You have a lot of personal things.

You don't want them to be known by others.

But this program might look at them.

When it is helping you work.

It also sees your secrets.

It might take the secrets away.

And send the secrets to a faraway place.

Everyone thinks this is very bad.

Everyone is worried about their secrets.

Because of this worry, they don't want to use it anymore.

Earlier we mentioned one thing.

Everyone knows how it is made.

Good people knowing it can do good things.

But bad people also know the method.

Bad people might look for its problems.

Bad people use these to do bad things.

This makes everyone feel even more unsafe.

So everyone becomes more and more afraid.

Next, let's talk about the second reason.

This reason is related to work.

Many people go to work at a company every day.

There are very important documents in the company.

The boss thinks there is a problem with this program.

The boss tells everyone that it cannot be used anymore.

If used, the company will not be safe.

Everyone must listen to the boss.

What if you don't listen to the boss?

You might not have a job anymore.

So everyone is very obedient at work.

Everyone returns to the office in the morning.

Turns on their work computer.

And takes away this smart program.

The people in the company don't use it anymore.

This is also a very big reason.

There is also a very important third reason.

China is developing very fast now.

Chinese people have made smart programs.

These new programs are also very easy to use.

Some programs are even better than that one.

They run very fast on the computer.

They write Chinese characters very beautifully.

Chinese people like these programs very much.

Because these were made by Chinese people.

So they understand Chinese culture better.

When you ask questions about China.

The new programs answer very clearly.

That foreign program might not understand.

It doesn't know what you want to say.

So everyone prefers the new programs.

Everyone thinks the new programs are easier to use.

So everyone changed their habits.

Before, they used that foreign program.

Now they use China's own programs.

This change happened very quickly.

Everything changed in just a few months.

The old program was taken away by everyone.

The new programs were put in by everyone.

Everyone is learning to use new things.

Learning to use new programs takes time.

Although it felt a bit difficult at first.

But everyone slowly got used to it.

Everyone thinks this is a good thing.

Because one's own things are the safest.

No need to worry anymore about secrets being taken by others.

Everyone is very happy when working.

The company bosses are also very happy.

We just talked about three reasons.

First is because it is not safe enough.

Second is because of company requirements.

Third is because there are better ones.

Because of these three important reasons.

Everyone suddenly stopped using that program.

This matter surprised many people.

Many foreigners also feel it's strange.

The thing we just talked about is very important.

This program is called Openclaw.

It is an artificial intelligence program.

Which is what people call an AI assistant.

It is free and open-source.

Open-source means everyone knows the code.

Recently, China is uninstalling it in large numbers.

Uninstalling means deleting it from the computer.

Because everyone is paying more and more attention to safety.

And also because China has its own AI.
