Chapter 41: Small Roles

"Nicole! How many times have you said that before each province makes a fraud, you must first do a detailed market research to see if there are other merchants who sell hot sauce or peripheral edge ball products are already doing it! If there is a soft persimmon, then we will also make a fart and eat the soft persimmon directly!"

"Please! When I was negotiating with Li Lin, I said that I needed to create false lawsuits in 15 provinces in an all-round way, which was to exaggerate the difficulty of operation and tell the customer! Why did you believe it? After following me for so long, you can't tell which words deceive outsiders and which ones are true? What a vain trick you are!"

"What's that! Who told you to get a shell in every place in these provinces/regions of Ganning, Xinjiang, and Qingdao to respond to the lawsuit? Do you know how difficult it is for outsiders to get some licenses for big companies that can operate halal food in those places? Do you know that there are a lot of spicy sauces in 'L Godmother', pork lard, which are not halal, and in those places are restricted from being sold, in principle, they are not evaluated, and they must get a new halal shell to be easy to operate? Of course, we would rather lose more money and pay more taxes in lawsuits, and we must reuse the shells!"

"Clams, you say, 'A shell only fights a lawsuit once, and then abandons the son and runs away' This is the strategy I taught you? Then you also have to depend on the situation, it is more economical to do this in the mainland, because the shell is not valuable. How troublesome are those Han people in remote areas who want to get a qualified shell? First class, second class, X, third class, XX and fourth class, you haven't heard of it!"

"Also, in Wuyue Province, let's take two steps, first get your own shell and fake it across classes, and then find a way to take the initiative to admit defeat, build up the momentum of similar precedents, and then you concentrate on dealing with Deng Changchun!"

On this day, the summer vacation is coming to an end.

The preliminaries of the domestic university debate tournament have ended, and the semi-finals are underway.

If nothing else, the Jinling Normal University team will be able to enter the semi-finals of the competition.

Every game since then is finally eligible for CCTV education channel to broadcast - in the preliminaries, because there are more teams, there is an average of one game per day in the four divisions, and CCTV 10 sets can't spare so much time to broadcast. After entering the semifinals, because the schedule was three-quarters sparse compared with the preliminaries, CCTV was suddenly able to line up.

In the past nearly a month, Feng Jianxiong has incarnated as a remote-controlled superman, training with his partners, scraping the team fiercely, and competing to win the fish belly opponent.

On the other hand, Shi Nicole has to answer two or three training calls that are remotely abused by Feng Jianxiong almost every week - of course Brother Xiong will not deliberately insult Shi Nicole without doing anything, every time the girl can't understand the essentials of the leader's operation methods, and she is mentally handicapped, so she is trained.

However, under this remote control, Feng Jianxiong's great cause of helping the "L Gan Ma" company to gain judicial fame has also been steadily advancing, and four or five provinces have completed the preliminary layout and entered the stage of anti-counterfeiting litigation.

Since Shi Nicole took the initiative to go over to ask for training and became his girlfriend, Feng Jianxiong naturally pities his sister between life and bed, but the requirements at work are stricter.

Because he completely treats Shi Nike as his own person, when the sister is not effective, Feng Jianxiong no longer needs to worry about scolding the girl and forcing the girl to jump ship.

Although Shi Nicole was sad in her heart every time she was taught, she also knew that Brother Xiong scolded her because he loved her, and he didn't treat her as an outsider, so he faintly cultivated a sense of pride that shook M: "Hmph, seeing that Brother Xiong is so polite to Sister Meiqin, Sister Meiqin wants to beg Brother Xiong to insult her, but Brother Xiong is too lazy to scold." ”

Supported by this belief, Shi Nicole actually adjusted her mentality quite well.

……

Jinling Normal University, indoor basketball hall. The stands were full of guests, and there were cameras set up by the provincial TV station.

In the field, the team led by Feng Jianxiong is participating in the rematch, which is about to end, and the current scene is quite beneficial to Jinling Division University, which is fighting at home.

The competition has entered the stage of summarizing the statements, so there is only the work of the four debates Yu Meiqin left on the side of Jinling Normal University.

Feng Jianxiong and the other three players have already finished their work.

The opponent of this rematch is Huaxia University of Science and Technology from Huihuai Province - this opponent was also quite unexpected by Feng Jianxiong's side.

Don't look at the economic backwardness of Huihuai Province, but there are not a lot of 985/211 institutions of higher learning there, second only to Jiangnan Province and Hujiang City in the number of East China Division, and it is even more shameless to blow up Wuyue Province, an economically strong province.

In previous years, Huaxia University of Science and Technology was known for its natural sciences, and its liberal arts were weak, and it did not pay attention to the ability to sell lip service. Although there are 985 exemptions and direct qualifications, there are a few years that choose to abstain, and even if they do, most of them will not pass the first round.

This year, Huaxia University of Science and Technology did not expect any big victory. When they met Qianjiang University in the first round of preliminaries, everyone felt that they must be running for Qianjiang University.

So much so that Feng Jianxiong and Tian Haimo, after killing Hua Zheng in the first game, have already begun to study the technical characteristics of the four team members of Qianjiang University, and are ready to deal with each other in a targeted manner.

However, the result of the competition between Huake University and Qian University surprised everyone - the topic of that competition was a type that was biased towards the "impact of scientific outlook on human society". Qian Da's pure liberal arts student made a fatal logical mistake and was cut off.

The debate topic of the semi-final is another topic that is quite friendly to hard-core science and engineering students: "Will the development of artificial intelligence threaten human employment opportunities".

When the lot was drawn, the University of Science and Technology drew the positive side, and Jinling Normal University was the negative side.

If people who don't understand science and engineering draw this topic, they will be blind to this majestic advantageous position. But the HKUST team doesn't belong to that situation

As a result, the debaters, who had never tasted the semi-finals, had a faint expectation in their hearts: maybe they could really make history this year. (Feng Jianxiong: I am here, and I don't exist.) )

After all, Huaxia University of Science and Technology is the earliest university in the field of artificial intelligence in China, even if it is still in the second half of 06 years, the deep learning from Canada has only been recognized and studied for less than a year, but iFLYTEK is already a leader in the field of Chinese artificial intelligence input in China. In this debate team, there happens to be a graduate student who is studying intelligent recognition, which increases the confidence of the University of Science and Technology.

It is said that Huaxia University of Science and Technology is at the 985 level, and the level is much better than that of Jinling Normal University, so it should be the opponent's home field, so Feng Jianxiong and others rushed to Luzhou to compete.

However, because Jinling is adjacent to Hui Province, even the people of Hui Province do not take Luzhou as the provincial capital, so it is customary to come to Jinling - if Hua University of Science and Technology can win this time, the next opponent will be Jinling University, and Jinling University must be qualified to be the home field, and those people from the University of Science and Technology came earlier and can adapt to the environment in advance.

Of course, because of Feng Jianxiong's existence, these people's adaptation to the environment is destined to be in vain.

……

Maybe it's because his business has been completed, Feng Jianxiong is a little distracted.

Until a text message came from his phone, which was turned into vibrate mode, which brought his thoughts back to reality.

He subconsciously raised his head and searched the stands, and met Shi Nicole who came to watch the game. Shi Nicole nodded slightly at him, making him realize that the text message was from his girlfriend.

Let's watch after the game, it shouldn't be an important thing. Nicole should have texted only when she saw that he was bored and distracted - she wasn't the kind of person who didn't know what to do.

Because school hasn't started yet, most of the spectators watching the game are not classmates. The seats in the stadium are relatively full only where the camera can be captured. The next round of competitions will be in time for the beginning of the school season, and it should be much more popular.

In the field, the concluding arguments of the fourth debate of HKUST were almost at the end.

It was an ugly but resolute girl.

“…… So, as we all know, despite thousands of years of technological progress, each time it seems that tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, of human jobs will be eliminated.

But at the same time, when 'sheep eat man' wiped out most of the peasants, it created more industrial workers.

When industrial robots and closed-loop industrial automation systems wiped out the majority of industrial workers, it created more programmers, including PLC/MCU line engineers.

However, the upcoming artificial intelligence revolution is limited by architectures such as DEEP-MIND, Monte Carlo tree structure, and convolutional neural networks, which can only set a single target dimension for machine intelligence as the direction of hard learning and evolution. Therefore, it is impossible for artificial intelligence to replace humans. It eliminates simple repetitive mental work.

For example, the intelligent recognition, input, and output system that iFLYTEK is working on may eliminate all typists, all translators, and even eliminate 'programmers who write code' and 'the rhetorical and arranging workload of writers and composers' one day......

However, we still need to provide the most original and original writers, even if they no longer need to type by hand, nor do they need to use their own brains to form sentences, but only need to conceive the original idea.

We will still need a composer who provides the tone of thought and emotion, even if most of the work is done by machines when he finally expresses that emotion in music.

We still need programmers who define the target tasks – perhaps by that time the product manager should have been completely in this position, and there would have been no full-time programmers - and the 'human-machine language translation' that memorized the sentences and syntax of computer programming languages was eliminated, not the providers of program ideas.

To sum up, the development of artificial intelligence will only have a major reshuffle of human work, eliminating countless old jobs and creating more sex jobs. But it is absolutely impossible to threaten the job opportunities of humanity as a whole as the other side of the argument is alarmist!"

After the final summary of the fourth debate of HKUST, he bowed to the guests and the audience, looking quite confident.

It seems that I sincerely believe that this kind of slogan and the creed of "emphasizing the general trend of history a thousand times will become an eternal and valid truth" can win the game.

"Sister Mai Trin, it's up to you. Feng Jianxiong thought silently in his heart, and was very confident in Yu Meiqin's strength.

The tactics of the game have been run-in to the point where they can no longer be proficient before the game, and this kind of debate, although it is not good for the opponent in terms of logical system, as long as you hold a few points, you can still find a breakthrough.

In the expectation of her teammates, Yu Meiqin stood up dignifiedly, with a soft and cold tone.

"Today, the opponent repeatedly emphasized that 'AI has created countless new jobs while eliminating a large number of old jobs'. So much so that it seems to me that they have equated this point of confrontation directly with today's debate.

It also gives them the illusion that proving themselves right at this point is directly equivalent to winning the game. Therefore, we can see that the situation of the four debates on the other side has deteriorated to that extent during the previous cross-debate and free debate, and the final concluding arguments are still so optimistic.

So much so that at one point I couldn't bear to say the following paragraph to puncture their dreams - but this is a game, although it is cruel, I have to say it.

The topic of our debate today is 'will the development of artificial intelligence threaten human employment opportunities', not 'will the development of artificial intelligence lead to an increase or decrease in the overall number of jobs?' Therefore, we should not only discuss the theoretical increase or decrease in the number of jobs, but also discuss the changes in the quality of jobs and the changes in the skill requirements of workers.

As long as one of these aspects is detrimental to the development of mankind, or even puts a considerable part of human beings facing the predicament of employment, it can be regarded as 'threatening the employment opportunities of mankind'. After all, "humanity" is not just represented by the elite of the human race.

The opponent argues that because the first industrial revolution eliminated farmers, the second industrial revolution eliminated non-standardized craftsmen, and the third industrial revolution eliminated simple and repetitive mental workers, and each time these eliminated people seemed to be squeezed out of a new field of work, it can be deduced that the fourth technological revolution represented by artificial intelligence can also be passed in this way - but it is this analogy that has a fatal logical flaw.

It took 80 years for the steam engine revolution to become widespread all over the world, the electric revolution took about 50 years, the computer/information/automation revolution took more than 30 years, but the artificial intelligence revolution may only take 5 or 10 years - this has been repeatedly proven by our debaters in previous free debates, because of the Internet, because of globalization, because of flattening, the fourth technological revolution must be unimaginable in the previous times.

So, even if the AI revolution creates a lot of new jobs, it will take a lot of creative, question-asking people to do it. But will those who have been left behind adapt to this new demand?

In the agricultural era, it took 20 years for a landless farmer to transform into a worker, and the learning cost of their transformation into a worker was relatively low and the learning difficulty was not high.

Since the two technological revolutions, the pains of this transformation have become more and more intense, but on the whole, human society has still borne it - in this process, a large number of laid-off workers with no social competitiveness have been produced, and they can only temporarily deliver food and express delivery to join the new economy.

However, in the era of artificial intelligence revolution, when the knowledge and skill structure required for human work are aging and outdated so rapidly, those tellers in banks and mobile companies, store clerks in the service industry, translators, PLC production line engineers in the form of 'code translators', and even the remaining handful of workers...... What can they be retrained for?"

“…… Therefore, it is true that artificial intelligence will create new employment needs, but these needs are not that those who have been eliminated have the ability to fill through re-employment training. The speed of evolution and elimination of knowledge has exceeded the learning speed of the weak, and hundreds of millions of people are destined to be left behind forever, and the more they learn, the more they fall behind. If it's not 'the development of artificial intelligence threatens human employment', then what is?"
