Chapter 51: Unfathomable
With Quan Jifang's rhetorical question, Zhou, who was just bypassed by the first voice at first, also came back to his senses and was a little unconvinced again.
That's right! How could I be frightened by that hairless kid just now? Everything that the other party described was based on the premise that "the future world will not look at diplomas, job titles, and criminal records."
However, Feng Jianxiong has not yet proved how and how such a future world can be realized, and it is still a castle in the air.
As soon as he thought that he had been surrounded by the vulgar words of the other party, Zhou felt ashamed in his heart, and the idea of doing evil again germinated again.
None of this is possible!
Quan Jifang and Meng Ge are both journalists, and their eyes are naturally vicious. As soon as he saw Zhou's expression change, he knew that this reminder just now had re-aroused the evil thoughts in the other party's heart.
It can only be seen if Feng Jianxiong can give an iron-like explanation.
"Hmph, you still dare not believe it. Feng Jianxiong chuckled from his nostrils, very disdainful.
He took a sip of water, gathered his strength, and prepared to launch the ultimate mouth cannon ultimate.
"When an employer recruits a person, does he really need that diploma? No, everyone knows that what the employer needs is the person's actual work ability and practical ability. In recent years, it has become more and more difficult for college students to find employment, and the proportion of employers who use people flexibly has become higher and higher, which can also prove this.
Then why do human beings still need diplomas? It is only because the current human technology is not yet able to prove a person's actual working ability with concise and clear other means, and the anti-counterfeiting difficulty of other means of proof is not as difficult as the diploma system, so we also need this system to maintain social order - in other words, from a legal point of view, this is 'for the sake of order and efficiency, and sacrifice a part of freedom and fairness'.
Using a diploma may not be able to identify the most suitable and talented people, but it can convince the society and give you a consistent result. Until there is no better choice, we humans can only do that.
So, in the final analysis, this is just a matter of a few technical bottlenecks - first, the difficulty of data collection, and second, the level of detail and richness of the data. The third is the credibility of the data, that is, the difficulty of preventing fraud. However, the development of science and technology in the future will obviously solve all this. ”
"By what?" asked Quan Jifang busily.
"Big data!" Feng Jianxiong said categorically,
Quan was stunned: "Big data?"
At the end of 06, this concept was still very novel, and it only existed in the strategic reports on the desks of several major Internet giants in China, and it was normal for ordinary people to not understand it.
Feng Jianxiong had an expression of "with your IQ, it is difficult for me to explain to you", and explained with disgust:
"You don't understand technology, and I don't blame you. Let me give you an example: everyone has watched American dramas, right? We all know the image of the middle class in the 80s and 90s of the last century, or even earlier, as portrayed by the people of the United States - they all pay attention to 'credit', and they will never dare to default on their credit cards unless they have to, leaving a bad credit record. Why is that?
Because the collection of human behavior data in that era was very scarce, a person who did a bad thing may not be able to be discovered, so the financial institution system can only use a relatively 'heavy punishment' attitude to face people's breach of contract - anyway, we may not be able to find out if you secretly cash out and circulate overdraft, so as long as you find it once, you will be completely killed, leaving a lifelong stain.
Just like the ancient society, the reason why *** is often immersed in the pig cage is based on the 'presumption of crime' such as 'because the probability of being caught for a crime is relatively low, **, cheating ten times may not be caught once, so as long as it is caught once, it is determined that *** is irretrievable, and it must have been derailed countless times'. It is precisely because of this that the ancient arch of chastity is so 'golden' - more gold than today's Peking University diploma.
However, in the Internet era and the era of artificial intelligence, people's privacy may be violated to a greater extent: for example, all searches and purchases on the Internet will leave data records. Cameras are all over the city like the eye of the sky, and they have a clear grasp of each citizen's daily whereabouts.
At the same time, however, this invasion of privacy has the benefit of increasing the chances of bad actors leaving traces of evil. How bad a person is, we don't have to solve the problem by grabbing it once in a while and beating it to death with a stick and never turning over. In fact, everyone is doing bad things, everyone is leaving a stain, and there is no need to be completely killed with a stain like before, so that there will be no one in the world.
The same principle can also be applied to the field of diplomas: in the diploma era, a person may not usually have good grades, but even if he performs well in the final semester or performs well in the college entrance examination, it means that he has studied well in the past three years. But this is only at the expense of the real selection of materials for the sake of order and legal interests, and it is not entirely accurate. In the same way, this is also the case for those professional title talents who are not necessarily good at doing things, but are more able to be a certificate master.
If one day, big data and privacy monitoring can be detailed to monitor whether a student has plagiarized homework every day, whether he has completed it by himself, and how well he performs in every small test. And distributed records are recorded in the cloud, and are monitored by a set of third-party data encryption service providers that are trusted by the whole society, to ensure that no teacher, principal or stakeholder has the right to tamper with the data, then maybe the world does not need diplomas, licensing exams, and professional titles. Isn't it more credible to use a global, detailed, machine-judged comprehensive data resume than to believe in a few pieces of paper?"
When Feng Jianxiong talked eloquently about this step, Zhou's semi-literate nature had long been unable to understand. But the other three people present felt as if a huge hole in their heads had been blasted open in a few feet in diameter.
Quan Jifang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and seemed to feel a pain in the mucous membrane of her throat when she spoke, and said with difficulty: "These...... Is there any basis for these technical predictions? Can future data on human behavior be so detailed and judged? Can there be a fully authoritative and impartial third party...... What, distributed storage in the cloud?"
"Yes, of course!" Feng Jianxiong lied without blushing.
In fact, it's not a lie, because the things he is about to say, although no one on the earth is doing it at the moment, will start to explore it in a year or two. Even if he bluntly said that someone was already laying out the layout now, no one else would be able to verify it. Three years later, the initial results appeared, proving that what Feng Jianxiong said was true, and it helped him to lie.
"Would you like to hear about it!" asked Kwon Jeong-fang eagerly.
"First of all, there are people in Silicon Valley who are working on a technology called 'blockchain' and of course other cloud storage technologies. The proposer of the concept of 'blockchain' once said in a small circle in Silicon Valley that he would launch a virtual currency called 'Bitcoin' in two or three years, but it has absolute global credibility.
I know it's hard for you to imagine how a fabricated electronic virtual currency can be believed, but behind this is actually a set of virtual credibility algorithms - in the future, every transaction record of Bitcoin transactions will actually be issued to all people around the world who hold Bitcoin at the same time, which is 'public'.
Now I give you $1, cash transaction, no record in the bank, no one knows that this dollar I gave you. But in the future of Bitcoin, if I give you 1 Bitcoin, the effect is actually equivalent to telling other people around the world who have Bitcoin: I Feng Jianxiong (of course, anonymous) has 1 bitcoin less in my bitcoin account, and you have 1 bitcoin more in your (also anonymous code) bitcoin account.
As for distributed storage in the cloud, there is also distributed compilation in the same way...... I don't want to explain too much, let's look up the results of cutting-edge journals, within a system. If the cost of data collection and storage in the future is low enough to store the information that 'a student scored 60 points in a certain small test', and distribute it to the world, it will not be difficult, right?
If that's the case, can anyone tamper with that data? So, you don't have to worry about encryption and credibility. What? You say you don't understand this technology? That's what you think!
If one day, people in this world can believe even a few virtual currencies that have no authority, no government, and are endorsed by centralized power structures, and they will have credibility. So why can't there be a third-party distributed data that can also be trusted? Is there anything more difficult in the world to trust people than 'I keep accounts, you have money, others believe you have money'?
Therefore, those who do not believe in me, you do not need to improve your IQ. As long as you polish your tricks, don't rush to death, and live me until the day when the Bitcoin I said is believed by the world, you will know how many people can be trusted by distributed data!"
Feng Jianxiong said, he was really a little thirsty, so he poured half a bottle of mineral water, wiped his mouth and continued to say the point of 'human credit refinement'.
"Then, the second point you were concerned about just now, 'When every small bad thing that human beings do is likely to be recorded, is it possible to really lead to bad credit and crime, which is no longer a 'veto-type high-voltage line', but a way to repent and rehabilitate', this idea is actually already brewing in China. That person is Mr. Ma of Ahri Group, and his Alipay company is working on something called 'Sesame Credit'.
This idea is that it is no longer like the credit system of the traditional financial era, because dishonesty is difficult to detect, so once it is discovered, it will be deterred by heavy hands and dead hands. Because everyone's behavior data in the new era is very sufficient, there are little bits and pieces of good and evil deeds in life, and it is impossible for anyone not to make mistakes or make mistakes that others don't know.
Therefore, we must give people the opportunity to turn over a new leaf, do a good deed, or save money in Alipay for several months in a row, and accumulate more than a dozen credit points every month.
If you don't pay back the money you owe once, you may deduct a few points. If you are a first-time offender, even if you deduct one or two hundred points - even in the future, it will be linked to the government's public security and criminal data, and when you become a car thief, you will also be deducted 100 points, and a recidivist will deduct another 200 points. Impulsively hurt people will be deducted 200, and after hurting people and being punished, they actually give up on themselves and want to tong'gui with others, and another 500 points will be deducted!
And as long as you don't make mistakes, change your ways, do good deeds every month, and save back twenty or thirty points - if you really do this, Miss Quan, do you think people who have only stolen a car once or twice will still give up on themselves because 'I'm not a good person anyway'?
Feng Jianxiong was aggressive, advancing step by step, asking several questions in a row, and asking the people of the TV station speechless.
Then he suddenly turned around, like a leopard with tight muscles, and slapped Zhou and Jia Mingwei with his backhand:
"That's why I said you garbage don't have a vision! How old are you? You're only in your early 20s! Ten years later, Mr. Ma launched Sesame Credit, and you're only 30 years old. 15 years later, when the Chinese's standards for judging good and evil and the comprehensive scoring system of personal value are turned upside down by big data, you are only 35 years old!
How many chances do you have to be a good person if you start doing good deeds and repenting from today? You have to bleed your 'sesame credit' of -20-30 every month from today onwards!
What is the difference between you and those women who escaped from the pig cage because they were discovered by chance on the eve of the fall of the late Qing Dynasty, and then because 'anyway, they have been broken, and they have lost the archway of chastity, and they are with one man, and they are also with ten men'?
If you tell those cheap people that in ten years, there will be no chastity archway in the Republic of China, but the people are still willing to forgive women who make mistakes by chance, and they are unforgivable for women who 'feel completely inferior without archways anyway', what will they think?"
"Papa~Papa~"
Bursts of crisp sounds sounded in the guard room, and Jia Mingwei slapped himself frantically with remorse.
Zhou, who was on the side, reacted relatively slowly, and he didn't understand it very well.
His temperament is also that oil and salt do not enter water and fire, and his skin is so thick that dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water.
But because Feng Jianxiong's words are simple to understand, although the technical principles he said at the beginning are not very understandable, the historical examples cited later are extremely incomprehensible, and even those who have not graduated from junior high school can understand it.
After being infected by this atmosphere, he finally understood that what Feng Jianxiong said was the truth.
Zhou had no culture and couldn't express it, so he knelt on the ground with a puff, kowtowing and bleeding frantically with a bang:
"Boss, I'm not a human being! I'm a forgetful egg! I've been in prison for six or seven years, and no one has ever stood on my side to help me think about these things! I didn't say it! You gave me my life! Boss, give me a chance! In this life, I will go in the water and in the fire! I will never be ambiguous if someone Zhou Zhou sticks a knife in his ribs and becomes a new person!"
Quan Jifang felt a deep chill, rising from the spring point on the soles of her feet, flying all the way down the gap in her backbone and straight into her brain.
The chill seemed to come up from the deepest part of the Nine Ghosts.
"Too ...... It's terrible, human mouth...... Senior Zhu, the team you lead, you should ask for more blessings......" Quan Jifang shuddered, thinking of her senior who is still leading the debate team at her alma mater.
