Another advantage of the merger of Facebook and Friendster is that the Chrome browser that was previously promoted through Friendster (Friends.com) can finally be promoted through Facebook, and the benefits are obvious, and the global market share of Chrome has reached 20%, surpassing the Firefox browser. The revenue data is also okay, through the cooperation with Google, this year's revenue can roughly exceed 150 million US dollars, but now that Zhou Shi has become the owner of Yahoo, things will definitely change, and the cooperation between Chrome and Yahoo is essential. Zhou Shi hesitated whether it was necessary for Yahoo to acquire Chrome, after all, Google was already developing its own browser, although they may not be successful, but it is inevitable to cause a certain impact on Chrome. Besides, the significance of the browser is not only to make money, but also to support the latest technology, if Yahoo acquires Chrome, will it have a bad impact, so that Amazon, YouTube, F&F support it is not as big as before?

"Or not, many of our services, including NetSuite, have a dependency on Chrome, and it's not safe to hand it over to Yahoo. "Pichai

"Alright then, I'll think of a way!" Zhou Shi, who wanted Pichai to help him was unrealistic, and he objected to Zhou Shi's acquisition of Yahoo. However, Zhou Shi was not without harvest when he arrived at the time, and he met Jeffrey Hinton, a professor at the University of Toronto, one of the three giants of deep learning, through an introduction by a professor here.

Fortunately, as Zhou Shi, it is not difficult to go to Canada, and he will not be illegally detained and extradited.

"I would like to ask you to help me build a software with neural networks and self-learning capabilities, just like the human brain, you are an expert in this field, and we need the talent the most. "Zhou Shi

"I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person, I don't have the ability, and I don't have the conditions to implement this technology now. "Jeffrey Hinton

"We are very sincere, and we have made a lot of preparations for this, for example, the ImageNet image recognition competition is funded by us, and we are also doing research on artificial intelligence internally, so we have invested a lot of financial and material resources for this, rather than being hot-headed and wanting to get involved in this industry. "Zhou Shi

"You sponsored the ImageNet contest?" Jeffrey Hinton naturally knew about the contest and the project, which is the foundation of the field of image recognition.

"This is Li Feifei's student, my girlfriend!" Zhou Shi reintroduced Wang Xirui

"Hello, you've done a great project!" Jeffrey Hinton greeted Wang warmly, and the two began to communicate......

The project that Zhou Shi wants to build is "Yahoo Brain", which is not only a concept for him to fool investors, but also a layout for the future. Jeffrey Hinton and his students are also partners in the future of Yahoo Brain, and Zhou Shi also found Wu Yonghui, the future chief software architect of Google Brain, and is also preparing to acquire Time's Toutiao project. At the same time, he also held his first staff meeting after joining Yahoo, mainly to clarify his philosophy.

"Everyone should recognize the fact that Yahoo's products have lost the love of users in the era of the Internet evolution to EB2.0, and if we don't change this status quo, even if we can survive in the future, it will slowly disappear from most people's memories. Although I said All in Mobile at Yahoo's shareholder meeting, I know that even if we move Yahoo to the mobile Internet, wait until Google and F&F do the same thing, and new entrepreneurs continue to hit the market, we may not be able to do better than we do now, even if we do the same thing as we do now, this is not what I want. I came to Yahoo because I have a higher pursuit, rather than living a mediocre life, it is better to live vigorously for a while, I want to leave our own glory in the Internet world, do you think?" Zhou Shi has been practicing for a long time under the guidance of professionals in order to make his speech shocking. The English manuscript has been revised many times, and the translation into Chinese is just that, it's not the author's problem, it's the translation's problem, hehe!!

"On the Internet, when you talk about Microsoft, you think of the operating system, when you talk about Google, you think of the search engine, when you talk about Facebook and Friendster, you know that it's a social network, so what does Yahoo have, what is Yahoo?

"It's nothing!" someone said loudly

"It seems that everyone knows a lot about the current situation of Yahoo, so I won't go into details. So I thought about it for a long time and couldn't come up with an answer, everyone knows that I am just an ordinary college undergraduate, and I don't even have a bachelor's degree. So I consulted experts and professors from Chinese and American universities everywhere, and in the world to come, those technologies are most likely to represent the future. There are many answers, it doesn't matter, what matters is how I choose, no one knows what the future really will be, so my choice is not necessarily based on the advice of experts, everyone will think that this decision is a bastard in the future, please blame me for everything. Because I decided to bet the fate of Yahoo on this project, if no one supports it, I am willing to use half of my current net worth, which is 10 billion dollars, into this project. I want to create a label that belongs to Yahoo, so that everyone who talks about Yahoo in the future will know what Yahoo does, not a review group buying, nor a news and entertainment media, but AI, that is, Artificial Intelligence. It is a new technology for researching and developing theories, methods, technologies and application systems for simulating, extending and expanding human intelligence. Everything we've ever done is Mobile First, but All in AI!, and I swear I'll never give up unless I lose more than $10 billion or people kick me out of Yahoo. But my stake in Yahoo is 36.7 percent, and it's not easy to get rid of me, so maybe it's easier to let me lose more than $10 billion at Yahoo. "Zhou Shi has no interaction, his ability is limited, and it is very good to be able to finish this speech normally.

"So why do I want to develop artificial intelligence, this is not to replace human beings with AI, my initial idea came from Elon Musk, he is developing new energy vehicles, and also established a rocket company called Spacex, which makes me know that Silicon Valley still has such awesome people and ideas, after knowing Bezos, I know that the elite of Silicon Valley has begun to think about the space universe, which shocked me deeply, originally I wanted to do spaceships or space flying saucers, which is often called UFO and the like, but unfortunately, I don't have this ability。 So I retreated to developing a tool that could self-learn and help the world's scientists do research, while also being able to quickly analyze and provide solutions to most unknowns. That was my initial idea and our long-term goal for the future. So, having said all that, our project to develop AI is called Yahoo Brain, but please note that our goal is to let Yahoo Brain help us think, not think for us! AI can be our friend, but it can never be our master!"
