Chapter 478: Challenger
"The students of Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School jointly wrote a letter to us, hoping to build a virtual football field for them, but now that the urbanization is highly developed, there is only one playground in the high school that is still used for broadcasting sports and physical education classes, and there is no space to play football at all. ”
Qian Yi came over with a thick stack of letters, and expressed it in the form of letters in the Internet era, which can only show the other party's attitude of respect for Pangu Technology.
After the news of Xia Guo TV, various requests for cooperation came one after another.
As Xiao Ming's alma mater, the students of Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School wrote a letter to Pangu Technology under the guidance of the school.
It was the request of the younger students of his alma mater, how could Xiao Ming be indifferent.
"What kind of virtual football field is still being built, I remember a vacant land behind the school, I don't know which developer bought it, now we will buy it back and give it to the school. Xiao Ming said.
Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School rarely has outstanding alumni, and now Pangu Technology has become the most well-known company in the world, and it is reasonable for the school to come and ask for some resources.
In fact, Xiao Ming still has some special feelings for Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School, after all, there is only one period of youth, whether it is good or bad, it has become part of the memory of the life process.
Qian Yi put the letter aside and said: "Unfortunately, I tell you that this vacant land is being developed for real estate during this time, and the target of the other party's development is the school district house, which is aimed at Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School, who called you a well-known alumnus of Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School, and now the reputation of No. 3 Middle School is on par with No. 1 Middle School." ”
In fact, since last year, Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School has been asking Pangu Technology for some financial support under various names, and has awarded Xiao Ming outstanding alumnus, the first person in the history of the school in a hundred years and other honors without informing Xiao Ming in advance.
Qian Yi coped with this situation, and also donated a batch of teaching equipment and instruments to Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School in the name of Xiao Ming, and donated 5 million yuan to establish the Pangu Scholarship.
For a high school with only about 5,000 students, a scholarship of 5 million can be used for a long time.
In this case, Xiao Ming will not care about the money, he said: "The teaching quality of the third middle school is worse than that of the first and second middle schools, and the school's sports specialty students are its golden signboard." In this case, you can ask people to negotiate with this local real estate company and buy this piece of land next to the school and donate it to No. 3 Middle School as a sports field for the school, so that the students will have a place to play football. ”
"You're so broad. Qian Yi did not veto Xiao Ming's proposal, this little money is still not worth mentioning.
Xiao Ming also took the letter signature paper and wrote some encouraging words to reply to the younger students.
Qian Yi complained: "I'm afraid that the principal of No. 3 Middle School will frame your letter and hang it on the wall of the teaching building." ”
Xiao Ming smiled bitterly, "It's not that exaggerated." ”
"There are a few more interesting ones. Qian Yi continued: "This is an invitation letter from the Baidu AI project department, hoping that we can participate in the Baidu AI Developer Conference, and at the same time, the major artificial intelligence academic institutions and enterprises in Xia Guo were also invited. ”
Qian Yi said helplessly: "The developer conference will be held next month, and Baidu will release the first AI voice chip at the time of the bureau." ”
Qian Yi couldn't bear to read it when he read it here, AI voice chip, this is something left over from Pangu Technology many years ago.
Speaking of intelligent voice, who can play Xiaochu.
However, it can be seen from this that in addition to Pangu Technology, most of the technology companies in Xia Guo have made very slow progress in the field of artificial intelligence, which is not only subject to technical problems such as so-called machine learning and system neuroscience but chips.
Xiao Ming thought for a while and said: "Yu Hong is busy during this time, let Lin Li participate on his behalf, it can be regarded as a little support from Pangu Technology to the major technology companies in Xia Kingdom, and also observe what is new at this developer conference." ”
Qian Yi said: "In fact, under the Pangu system, there are many market segments, and Baidu should do AI voice this time to occupy the following market segments, after all, not all hardware devices are suitable for the Pangu system." ”
"Here's a letter, you've seen it, it's been circulating on the Internet. Qian Yi handed over the new one.
The letters were not handwritten but machine-typed, and were numerous and had a total of ten pages.
The letter was written by Dan Chen, a British-Chinese artificial intelligence expert.
The title is "A Letter to the IT Industry in Xia Guo".
Daen Chen used to work at Baidu and is now working at DeepMind, where he is the principal engineer.
If you're new to DeepMind, then everyone knows about AlphaGo and Google.
DeepMind is the largest and most advanced AI lab and AI business owned by Google's parent company, Alphabet.
In addition, DeepMind also produces intelligent robots for intensive foundries such as Fu Shikang and Honghai in the Yizhou Island area of Xia Guo, so as to replace a large number of manual labor and save enterprise costs.
This is not the point, DeepMind is also cooperating with some military equipment companies in the United States to create modern artificial intelligence military equipment for them.
More advanced unmanned warplanes, land combat robots, unmanned miniature nuclear submarines and other equipment are all development plans of DeepMind.
Last year, when AlphaGo was easily defeated by Xiao Chu, DeepMind has been holding on to it, and Chen Daen, an artificial intelligence expert who used to work in Xia Guo, took the opportunity to work in Xia Guo to analyze the Pangu system and its subordinate AI system in detail.
This time, Chen Enda's open letter to the global IT industry is a strong criticism of the Qinghe device developed by Pangu Technology and the virtual world of Luoxia City.
If it's just a simple bashing, then it's fine.
The most terrifying thing is that Chen Enda considers himself a pioneer of artificial intelligence, and makes remarks as a caregiver for the development of science and technology in Xia Guo and a lover of Xia Guo, so the effect is different.
Because the IT industry and academic experts in Xia Guo will think that Chen Enda attacked Pangu Technology's Qinghe and Luoxia Town for the good of Xia Guo.
Chen's slamming of Pangu Technology is based on the following arguments.
First, technological nihilism.
This characterization is very serious, directly attributing Qinghe and Luoxia City to just technological opium that allows people to enjoy life.
Second, legal ethics are wrong.
Equating a series of technological reforms and innovations of Pangu Technology with legal red lines has aroused people's alarm.
In this argument, Chen Enda used the word "captivity", saying that the disabled are now the most laborers in the Xia Kingdom, and they will be imprisoned in the virtual world created by Pangu Technology to work for Pangu Technology.
The third one is interesting, the technical path is wrong.
It is believed that Pangu Technology's artificial intelligence and virtual reality technology will not be beneficial to the economic development and scientific and technological progress of Xia Kingdom, and will only lead Xia Kingdom's IT technology to the abyss.
Qian Yi reported: "The number of forwards of this open letter has exceeded 10 million, not to mention the number of clicks. ”
