There is no doubt that the open source of the MIPS architecture has greatly boosted Yahoo's prestige and successfully reversed everyone's impression of a lifeless corporate image. Although many investors believe that Yahoo still faces huge problems, no one can deny that Yahoo is still a great company. In particular, the news that Ali is going to go public in the United States has given greater support to Yahoo's market capitalization.

During the Double 11 event, the news that Alibaba's e-commerce sales reached $3 billion a day made the market reacquaint itself with Alibaba. His valuation has also been reassessed and is conservatively estimated to be no less than $100 billion. Yahoo still owns 30 percent of its shares, which is worth more than $20 billion even when taxes are excluded. If Linkedin is worth $10 billion, Yelp is valued at about $10 billion, Yahoo's big data division, that is, Yahoo portal, email, news, Flicker, pictures, short videos, social apps, and Yahoo Messenger, which has 300 million users worldwide, will not add up to only $10 billion. Yahoo's stock price has rightly continued to rise.

Among the Internet companies that have been listed, Yahoo ranks behind Google, Amazon, and F&F, and has a higher market value than Huaxia Friends, Baidu, and Penguin, for example, Baidu's market value is now less than $30 billion. Of course, if Alibaba goes public, Yahoo's market capitalization ranking will drop one place. Of course, if you count high-tech companies, Yahoo ranks further down and is not in the top ten. Yahoo, which has just completed the transformation, has begun to emerge, and the negotiation of the shareholding cooperation with AMD has gone much smoother.

The open source of MIPS architecture is the biggest thing in the field of science and technology at the end of 2012, some people say that this will have a serious impact on the existing industry, Yahoo is doing sabotage, and such open source is difficult to sustain without interest guarantee, after all, chip development and software development are different, and a lot of manpower and material support are needed. However, soon, ARM issued a statement that it had invested $120 million in sponsorship of the MIPS open source architecture, and many other companies such as Google, Microsoft, IBM, Spreadtrum, Qualcomm, and Guoke had sponsorships of tens of millions of dollars. The MIPS architecture open source organization spun off from Yahoo and formed a non-profit company. After all, Yahoo has a big head, and someone has to add to it. And this non-profit company also has profitable projects, how to make a profit Zhou Shi can't understand, probably to provide technical support to charge!

"The development of science and technology is inseparable from the development of open source, and human knowledge and wealth should be used more to promote the progress of human civilization, rather than blindly pursuing economic interests...... I think that at a certain point, the company is no longer a private enterprise, but a social enterprise, and should maintain more transparency and take more social responsibility. Zhou Shi gave a closing speech at the five-day conference, emphasizing the importance of open source and Yahoo's emphasis on it, and proposed the concept of transforming large enterprises into social enterprises.

"If we continue to develop naturally by high technology with a natural monopoly, it is not impossible for companies with a market value of trillions of dollars to appear in the future, and these large enterprises will likely use their advantages to hinder the progress of social civilization. Perhaps one day, under the leadership of engineers, artificial intelligence and robots will take our place in the world, and human existence may become dispensable. Let more non-engineers enter high-tech enterprises like Google, let perceptual thoughts penetrate into rational thoughts, and let private large enterprises become social enterprises, and assume more social responsibilities and obligations, which have become issues that must be considered in our times.

The open source of MIPS is just the beginning, it will promote the development of science and technology, and it will also impact the existing technology monopoly, all of which is aimed at allowing mankind to have more choices, and also to make artificial intelligence chips develop faster.

There is no doubt that artificial intelligence and robots without limits can destroy the entire world, and the destructive power of scientists and engineers cannot be underestimated at any time, so Yahoo's artificial intelligence research and development will set up an ethical review committee composed of experts in literature, philosophy, art, history, education and other humanities fields and basic disciplines such as physics and chemistry to review and limit Yahoo's development in the field of artificial intelligence......" Zhou Shi continued to pretend to be forced, using Taoist thought to explain that science and technology and humanity are indispensable, just like the yin and yang of a universe, which cannot be wasted.

Every great entrepreneur has his own ideological concept, and Zhou Shi is forming his own ideological system with Taoist thought as the core! Then his seemingly reasonable nonsense soon made financial headlines all over the world and aroused heated discussions.

"Is artificial intelligence really coming?"

"Robots rule the world!" may be a threat that is not too far off. ”

"The fantasy of a Chinese genius!"

"Challenges posed by MIPS architecture!"

"The United States is really lively, are these remarks you make are your own true thoughts?" Liu Chuanzhi finally relaxed and chatted with Zhou Shi.

"What are you talking about?" Zhou Shi said a lot of things, of course, it couldn't be true

"Artificial intelligence, the development of artificial intelligence will really be so fast, so that it will pose a threat to mankind!" Liu Chuanzhi

"Who knows, but it never hurts to prevent it in advance!" Zhou Shi honestly said that this is just a hype concept, raising Yahoo's valuation and making it easier for him to raise funds. Of course, there must be the idea of taking precautions. He doesn't have a good opinion of companies controlled by engineers, the most typical example of which is Baidu, which has technology but no ethics. It's not that it's not a company controlled by engineers, Yang Yuanqing of Lenovo said that enterprises should have social responsibility, but the most important thing is to maximize benefits. Well, isn't the consciousness of this sentence that making money is more important than morality? Yang Yuanqing's ideological level and pattern are more than one grade worse than Jack Ma, and if Lenovo has a future under his leadership, it will be the biggest joke.

"There is a lot of noise outside for your words, you are good, not true" Liu Chuanzhi

"This is a misunderstanding of me, I didn't say a word of lies, this is because the impact of MIPS is big enough, so there are many people who pay attention, some people want to divert attention through this method, I still have interests in companies such as ARM, and I don't want to kill them all at once. Zhou Shi, as a classic design, MIPS architecture appears in the teaching of semiconductor chip design textbooks in most universities, and the reserve force is not ordinary. It is foreseeable that a large number of MIPS architecture chip design start-ups will emerge in the future, not hitting Intel, AMD and ARM now, but them in the future.
