Google is a very great company, Zhou Shi has always admired it, but I don't know why, since coming to the United States, it has been intentionally or unintentionally weakening the power of Google, and the most important thing to do should not be to weaken the power of Microsoft? But by mistake, it made peace with Microsoft, and Guoke formed an alliance with it to fight against the tribe formed by Apple and Google.

Because time continues to poach Microsoft and Google, and uses the excuse that these giants cannot monopolize technology, it has attracted a large number of people, and as the financial situation of Time improves, this attraction is getting bigger and bigger. Some of the key talents, including Google Brain, are attracted to time and do some basic research. However, without Google's cash flow, time's funds naturally cannot support such a large project, as for Yahoo, needless to say, with Ali's shares, I am afraid that there is no money? And at this time, the income from the transfer of Ali's shares can be assured and boldly use various tax avoidance methods, the United States has always been very tolerant of high-tech investment, and even the public will not have much resistance to Yahoo's approach. One sentence can be used to respond to everyone, I am for the future of mankind! Besides, tax avoidance is not illegal, and the greatest pressure is only moral condemnation.

Zhou Shi's speech did not end, and asked experts in artificial intelligence to help him come out to attract firepower, and Zhou Shi continued to return to the stage of the speech after a short break. As for where this stage is, it doesn't matter at all.

After all, the development of Yahoo Brain takes time, but we can't stop using artificial intelligence, and my first attempt is Yahoo News and Toutiao, both of which are news and information apps, but they will be operated with different concepts. Needless to say, Yahoo Toutiao mainly relies on human editing, and Toutiao relies on artificial intelligence to recommend. We will have two teams working on both projects, but members of both teams are free to apply to join the other team and learn from each other's best practices while maintaining their own characteristics. In addition, Toutiao will also start another attempt of mine, that is, the new media plan, I always believe in the value of professional media people, in-depth news reporting is always one of the best ways for us to understand the world, no matter how the world changes, this is valuable, but the times are different, the way to reflect these values is also different, so I came up with such a way, that is, the new media plan. Actually, I don't know very well, maybe this is an environment, an application based on digital information technology, and an innovative form of media characterized by interactive communication. We write news in an objective and fair manner, but let users help us spread the news!" Zhou Shi continued to explain the new media......

"Then I also have an idea, which is to let artificial intelligence combine with search engines to search for more accurate results, but I don't know about this, it depends on the opinions of experts, but I think it may not be a good thing if it can compete differently with Google search. After all, they are mechanical searches, and their understanding of keywords may not be able to surpass that of artificial intelligence in the future. As for whether artificial intelligence is a false proposition, it depends on whether our scientists have the ability to create Yahoo Brain ......" Zhou Shi

"To summarize what we said today, the future of Yahoo is artificial intelligence, our current task is to build the Yahoo brain, and then it is mobile, so that Yahoo's web portal, search engine and instant messaging software Yahoo Messenger and other content will be fully migrated to the mobile Internet, and finally there is the new media plan, this is all my work in Yahoo in the future, the details can be modified and supplemented, but the general direction will not change anything. Those who believe in me and are willing to fight for it are my friends and partners, and those who do not believe and are not willing to change for this can choose to leave. Zhou Shi said calmly, not afraid of possible conflicts.

Before the chaos on the scene, Zhou Shi left here, and any well-organized company facing drastic changes will have a lot of stress reactions, and before losing everyone's trust, Zhou Shi can still do whatever he wants at Yahoo.

It's almost impossible to keep a town hall meeting of this size confidential, and Yahoo doesn't keep it as secret as Apple does. Of course, for a project as core as Yahoo Brain, the strictest secrecy will definitely be used. For the time being, it is very unrealistic to ask for secrecy, and without waiting for the next day, various versions of rumors circulated on F&F, Twitter and other websites, saying that Yahoo was going to lay off employees, that Yahoo was going to sell the portal, and so on...... There was a lot of uproar, but fortunately, the homepage of Yahoo's portal soon had some detailed coverage of the town hall meeting.

"The whimsy of a young man! The wisdom of the ancient kingdom of the East?"

"Artificial Intelligence VS Human Brain!"

"The future of media is to add one word in front of it, become: new media!"

"Yahoo's Big Adventure!"

"Yahoo on its way to the grave!"

"The rule of a tyrant!"

"Despotism from the East!"

After a night of fermentation, various thrilling headlines appeared in news media, newspapers, magazines and the Internet, and Yahoo was once again in the news.

Zhou Shi's change is too big, fortunately, the next day is Saturday, and there is no impact on Yahoo's stock price, but we all know that there will be a lot of volatility at the beginning of next week. Before Yahoo, Zhou Shi was very good at delegating power, but he didn't expect such centralization in Yahoo.

"What caused such a huge change in Simon Zhou, is it the centralized thinking of the Chinese people that has penetrated into the bone marrow?" someone asked

"You don't look at what kind of bird Yahoo is now, what choice does he have?" A high-level executive who left Yahoo before Zhou Shi arrived, Zhou Shi's public opinion team saw it and immediately put this reply at the top, but fortunately, there was artificial participation, so that more information favorable to Zhou Shi appeared in a prominent position, otherwise he was afraid that he would be completely overwhelmed by public opinion.

Google Brain's success was not announced before it was announced, which in the eyes of most scientists is a stupid thing, and with the strength of Yahoo, how can it do this. Artificial intelligence cannot compare to human intelligence in the short term, and there are many criticisms of neural networks and deep learning. However, many people who are interested in this area have reached out to Jeffrey Hinton, Andrew Ng and other Yahoo AI leaders.

Zhou Shi for Ng Enda, deliberately acquired Toutiao, so that people who have a good time to enter Yahoo to assist him in development, at this time Toutiao only has millions of users, and it is mainly self-media, it is not worth much money for the time being, it is also tens of millions of dollars, not so much the acquisition of Toutiao, but for talent and technology.
