Chapter 1208: WikiLeaks Founded
… However, knowing Juli Sanchi's motives for reading a question, he wanted to impress him.
"The state is a tool for a small number of people to control the majority, and as power increases, the minority wants to gain more power and control more people. In order to curb this situation, it is necessary to ensure transparency in the operation of the government. If we want the government to operate transparently, we must make information public. It's a pity that even in the United States, which has the highest degree of freedom, it can't achieve true freedom of information!" Lin Feng looked at Julian and Assange and sighed.
Julian and Assange were excited when they heard Lin Feng's words. He didn't expect that Lin Feng, a shijie rich, would actually think that he would be the same as him, and it was almost in his heart. In the past few years, after he and his divorced wife fought a lawsuit to obtain the right to take custody of their son, he took several jobs and tried his best to earn money to raise his son. However, after many years of working and seeing countless people and things, he gradually realized that the most critical struggle of human beings is not the struggle between the left and the right or the struggle between faith and reason, but the struggle between individuals and institutions. He drafted a manifesto-like document entitled "Conspiracy is Domination" and was intended to be applied in the political sphere. He argues that when the lines of communication within a regime are broken, the exchange of information among the conspirators is doomed to shrink, and when this communication approaches zero, the conspiracy will be dismantled. Leaks are a tool of information warfare.
Therefore, Julian and Assange desperately wanted to form a similar organization to smash the lies of politicians and conspirators. Today, however, the advent of the Internet has undoubtedly provided a way for a civilian like Julian Assange to realize his ideals. As a result, Julian Assange has been reaching out to people with lofty ideals to set up such a website. However, the establishment of such a website is bound to arouse the government's dissatisfaction and even attack. In that case, how to maintain the operation of the website becomes a very real problem.
Originally, Julian Assange and many like-minded people were ready to pin their hopes of keeping the site running on those supporters, who would donate their own money to solve the operational problems. But this method of relying on donations to maintain operations is really a bit unreliable and not a long-term solution. Therefore, Julian Assange has been trying to figure out a way. If there is no other way out, Julian Assange and his like-minded people will have to rely on donations from supporters to keep the site running in the future.
However, Lin Feng suddenly summoned global hackers to participate in the grand event this time to help "Baidu Yahoo" solve the defects of the "vertical search engine", which made Julian and Assange have an idea. Lin Feng is rich and has a different view of hackers, so maybe Lin Feng will be willing to invest in his ideal. As long as he can give Lin Feng enough in return. Therefore, he specially contacted Lin Feng and asked him to meet in this "Little Black Bean" café.
It's just that before telling Lin Feng about his ideal, Julian and Assange must confirm whether Lin Feng shares the same view as him. Of course, even if there is no common point of view, as long as there is no opposing point of view. Otherwise, there is no need to talk about it, if it is not done well, it will become a stumbling block for them if it is not used in Lin Feng. But what Julian and Assange never expected was that Lin Feng had the same point of view as him. This made Julian Assange overjoyed!
If Lin Feng had made the investment, then his ideal would have been realized, and he would not have to think about any follow-up funding at all. With Lin Feng's financial resources, it is more than enough to undertake hundreds of thousands of dollars of operation every year. And with abundant financial guarantees, they will also be able to realize their ideals without worries.
Thinking of this, Julian Assange revealed to Lin Feng that he wanted to set up a website dedicated to publishing government secrets.
"Mr. Lin, only through the "leak." "Only then can we fight against a government that maintains power by concealing the truth, and give everyone a right to know!" Julian Sanchi said firmly.
Lin Feng nodded. I couldn't agree more. Julian and Assange didn't expect Lin Feng to agree so much, which was the most good news in Julian and Assange's gloomy life.
"Mr. Lin, I have contacted many like-minded people and plan to set up a related website in the near future, and give everyone the right to know. It's just that there is a lack of funds in this regard, I wonder if Mr. Lin is willing to invest and sponsor this common ideal with us?" Julian Assange looked at Lin Feng with an expectant face, and his heart was full of apprehension.
Judging from Chong Lin Feng's attitude just now, Julian and Assange guessed that Lin Feng should agree, after all, it didn't cost much, and for Lin Feng, the investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year was really just a drop in the bucket.
Unexpectedly, Lin Feng shook his head.
"Mr. Assange, you should know that I am a businessman.
And this ideal will implicate national interests. Based on my understanding of those important government officials, I know that the emergence of an organization like yours will inevitably lead to strong suppression by the government. Once they knew I was this catty. I am afraid that I will be immediately arrested by the U.S. government and even Interpol. This will be a devastating blow to my career." Although Lin Feng was very eager to help Julian Assange set up "WikiLeaks", but at this time
Julian and Assange were prepared for Lin Feng's words. After all, ideals are ideals, but for a businessman like Lin Feng, if ideals endanger his interests, then ideals and everything will be floating clouds. Everything is a floating cloud, only money is the most important. So, Julian and Assange's special preparations were made beforehand.
"Hehe, Mr. Lin, one thing I can absolutely guarantee you is that your funding will become the top secret of our organization, and we will never leak anything, we will absolutely guarantee your safety, and no one will know about your existence. In the event of a threat, any confidential information about you will be deleted immediately." Julian Assange patted his chest and assured. This is by no means Julian Assange talking big, but a guarantee of strength. Julian Assange is an organization that gathers almost the world's top hackers, and although they have no power in reality, they have liliang on the Internet that ordinary people can't imagine.
They band together to keep a secret, and that's definitely not a problem. Therefore, Julian and Azaqi can pat their chests and promise to Lin Feng. However, it's a pity that this promise is not enough, Lin Feng wants more than that. Lin Feng also wants to insert Kevin Mitnick into it, as well as the "Five Uniques" in the domestic hacker community, hoping to ensure that he can master this "WikiLeaks" in the future to the greatest extent. It's just that for a while, Lin Feng didn't know how to speak.
Julian and Assange were silent about Lin Feng's silence, and they were not surprised. In his life, he had seen all kinds of people, and Ken'an was very worried about a young rich man of Lin Feng's level who ventured into such a dangerous and important field. If Lin Feng agreed to fund himself and others every year without any worries, then Julian and Assange would be suspicious. But fortunately, he still has an absolute leverage.
"Mr. Lin. If that doesn't make you up, then I've got some more chips that you'll be tempted to!" Julian Assange smiled.
Lin Feng heard this. My heart jumped. Although he didn't know what kind of bargaining chips Julian and Assange were in his mouth, Lin Feng instinctively felt that this must be a good thing, and it was a good thing for the doctor. Seeing Julian and Assange's confident smiles, a thought flashed through Lin Feng's mind, and he subconsciously said one
Mr. Assange, could it be that you designed that AI program?
Lin Feng looked at Julian and Assange nervously. If this AI program was really designed by Julian Assange. As long as you can give yourself the source code of this program, you can sponsor as much money as you want a year. Even if it's $100 million a year, there's no problem, and this AI program is perfectly capable of making more money.
Julian and Assange shook their heads slowly.
An extremely disappointed emotion instantly enveloped Lin Feng's heart.
"Hehe, Mr. Lin, although this artificial intelligence program was not designed by me, it was designed by like-minded friends like me. He promised that as long as Mr. Lin can fund our organization with $540,000 a year, the right to use this artificial intelligence program will be handed over to Mr. Lin for free. This time, he also took the opportunity to open his mouth, originally the annual operating expenses were only about 10,000 US dollars, but since Lin Feng was so desperate for this artificial intelligence program, he naturally asked the lion to open his mouth. It's a pity that Julian Assange is not a rich man, and in his eyes, he has persuaded a lot of dollars, but for a real rich person like Lin Feng, it is really not much. It's just that there is only the right to use, which is somewhat breathtaking.
When Lin Feng heard that this manual program was written by Julian and Assange's friends, his face suddenly turned colored, but then he heard that he only had the right to use it, which made Lin Feng's emotions fall to the bottom again. What you want is copyright, not the right to use, and giving yourself a right to use it is useless. Looking at the unpredictable expression on Lin Feng's face, for a while, for a while, for a while, Julian and Assange had a strange smug mood in their hearts. The sense of accomplishment of being able to control Shijie's rich emotions in the palm of his hand is really extraordinary. However, Julian Assange didn't dare to entertain Lin Feng too much, so he hurriedly told Lin Feng all this.
It turns out that this talented programmer who designed artificial intelligence programs is himself an "angry youth" like Julian and Assange. After accidentally developing this prototype program of artificial intelligence, he thought of using it to whet Lin Feng's appetite and ask him to promise to sponsor their small organization and help them realize their ideals. As for only giving Lin Feng the right to use it, instead of selling it at a high price, it is because the programmer himself does not want the program to be controlled by one person, because if the artificial intelligence program can be successfully developed, it will be enough to change the course of the entire human race with real "intelligence" like in the movie.
Therefore, this genius programmer does not want one person to master it and become another "government", which is definitely not what they intended. Therefore, it was decided to give only the right to use Lin Feng and not sell it to Lin Feng at a high price. What's more, he is not sure whether this artificial intelligence program will do things harmful to human beings like in the movie once it is really mature, although it is still very far away to have such a thing, maybe decades, maybe hundreds of years later, but he has to beware. At least, when he is such an "angry youth." Little Claw.... We don't want to plant the seeds of a small demise for humanity. "Mr. Assange, if I give up just two dollars, will he sell it?" Lin Feng asked without giving up.
Julian and Assange shook his head.
"Mr. Lin, the existence of our organization is to break the blockade and break the monopoly. Your monopolistic behavior is exactly what we don't want to see Julian Assange shook his head and said. Lin Feng sighed secretly in his heart, since this is the case, forget it, it is not bad to be able to get the right to use. Use, use, and maybe you can turn it into your own in the process of using it. Thinking of this, Lin Feng cleaned up his mood and began to do his best to make more money for himself. After all, in this matter, although it belongs to Lang Youqing and the concubine is intentional, Julian and Assange want to establish "WikiLeaks" and himself wants to have "WikiLeaks." Such a site.
"If that's the case, then I won't force it. I just ask for one thing, I hope that until the AI program is perfected, I will get exclusive access rights. Lin Feng smiled slightly.
Julian and Assange were completely stunned. What is the difference between Lin Feng's request and monopoly? What's the matter, if the artificial intelligence program wants to be perfected, it is not an overnight thing, Lin Feng now proposes the exclusive right to use it before it is perfected, which is really no different from buying out.
"Mr. Assange, in return, I may be able to introduce you to a like-minded person. If you can win him to join, that's for this lofty ideal. Maybe it can be achieved faster Lin Feng saw Julian and Assange frowned for a while, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly smiled mysteriously.
Julian was stunned by Assange. He has now contacted all the people who may join the Zhizai Dao, who else can Lin Feng introduce to them? Even if he does, I am afraid that he may not be able to help them.
Seeing that Julian and Assange didn't believe it, Lin Feng slowly spit out a person's name, Kevin Mitnik
Giulian and Assange took a sharp breath. For this former "hacker first." "He couldn't be more familiar. It's just that since he was arrested and sentenced on bail by Yang Si, there has been no news of this Shijie No. 1 hacker again. Although it was rumored that this hacker appeared on the Internet again, this time Lin Feng gathered the world's top hackers to participate in the grand event and this former "Shijie No. 1 hacker." is also inextricably linked, but no one has ever known the exact news of the former "Shijie No. 1 Hacker", does Lin Feng know?
If he can really lobby Kevin Mitnick to join, his dream can indeed be realized sooner rather than later. The strength of "Shijie No. 1 Hacker" is absolutely eye-catching.
"Okay, I agree. As long as Mr. Lin can provide me with the exact news of Kevin Mitnik, about Mr. Lin's exclusive right to use this artificial intelligence program before it is perfected, I will agree on behalf of that friend Kevin Mitnik nodded and said. Although Lin Feng's request for this exclusive right to use is no different from a buyout, it is still barely acceptable for Julian and Assange. After all, this AI program is already difficult to progress, and in the early days, its use was already limited. In this case, it is not indispensable to sell Lin Feng a favor. After all, having such an ally as Lin Feng would be of great benefit to them.
Seeing Julian and Assange nodding, Lin Feng wanted daxiao. In this way, unconsciously, Lin Feng not only inserted Kevin and Mitnick into it, but also obtained the exclusive right to use this artificial intelligence program before it was perfected, which was a lucky day for Lin Feng!
Immediately, Lin Feng gave one of Kevin Mitnick's contact information to Julian Assange. As for the safety of Kevin and Mitnick, Lin Feng was not worried at all. Compared with Kevin Mitnik, determined to establish "WikiLeaks, the little Julian and Assange are undoubtedly more harmful to the U.S. government, how could Julian and Assange leak a Kevin Mitnik whose whereabouts are unknown!
Within six hours, Julian Assange and Kevin Mitnik reached an agreement, with Kevin Tminick deciding to join the agency. "WikiLeaks" and served as one of the directors. And this upcoming "WikiLeaks." There are a total of named directors, Julian Assange and Kaihuo Mitnik are two of them, and Lin Feng does not hold any position in this "WikiLeaks" organization due to his identity, and even has no relationship, the only relationship is that the "WikiLeaks" fund account is opened in the "Bank of East Asia" under Lin Feng.
Originally, Julian and Assange were going to open a capital account in Lin Feng's "Second Bank", but Lin Feng thought about it, and decided to open funds in the "Bank of East Asia" just in case, so that if something really happened, Lin Feng could also abandon the "Bank of East Asia" and cut off all relations with this "WikiLeaks". As for the so-called evidence of contact, with Kevin Mitnick as a director, Lin Feng doesn't have to worry about it.
Just as the crowd continued to search for that genius programmer, the "WikiLeaks" website that was about to shock future generations was quietly released. Although there is no hot news on this website yet, they are brewing a hot news to shock people! (To be continued), if you want to know what will happen next, please log on to 6...
