News reporters these days just don't have discipline and always want to make big news. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Gu Cheng participated in the Tokyo International Film Festival, he was blocked by a group of troublemakers at the media conference and asked a bunch of questions that had nothing to do with the film festival, which was reported in the newspaper on the same day.

Because he hasn't shown up for a long time, any news about Gu Cheng can easily become a hot spot.

Ma Teng, who was far away in the Shenzhen market in China, also saw it for the first time.

After making trouble for a long time, Gu Cheng didn't regard him as an opponent at all, and was already looking for the next enemy - this was really too bad.

Ma Teng didn't sleep well that night, and it was rare to wake up early the next day, so he rushed to the company at seven o'clock in the morning, recruited Zhang Zhidong and Ren Yuxin, and analyzed the future scene that Gu Cheng described yesterday.

As an internet person, going to bed late and waking up late should be the norm. It is not normal for people like Ma Teng to go to bed before two o'clock in the middle of the night, and it is not normal to get up before nine o'clock in the morning.

It can be seen that yesterday's incident completely messed up his biological clock.

As soon as the people arrived, Ma Teng asked straight to the point: "The preference push based on deep learning artificial intelligence that Gu Cheng said, do you think we are also catching up with the layout now, is there a play?" Can you fight Gu Cheng when the next outlet comes? ”

Zhang Zhidong obviously also watched Gu Cheng's related news yesterday, and he has always had a deep frown.

"It's difficult, I don't have much research on deep learning, and it was only after Renren's image search engine became reliable at the beginning of the year that I began to pay attention to it, and I can only say that I know a little bit of skin. If you want to catch up, the talent and technical reserves will lag behind the other party by at least more than a year.

Moreover, there are many new products and new software launched by YY based on deep learning artificial intelligence. I paid attention to it, mainly in terms of machine input and perception, which can greatly improve the accuracy of the computer to guess the user's intentions -

During the summer vacation, YY launched the YY intelligent pinyin input method, and then made smart five strokes. This is all with a network cell thesaurus.,I don't know how much better than Microsoft's original intelligent ABC.。 What words users want to lose, according to word frequency statistics, intention analysis, and user personal habit feedback, the accuracy rate can be said to be higher and higher.

Then I heard that Gu Cheng recently invested in iFLYTEK, probably hundreds of millions in the first round, taking the speech recognition technology foundation of iFLYTEK and combining it with the deep learning algorithm of the YY system. Now YY Electronics has just launched the Kindle e-book on the National Day, and the accuracy of voice reading pauses is higher than that of similar products, and the voice control of human language recognition may be necessary in the future.

It can be seen that Gu Cheng is already far ahead of us. We can't even guess what the user wants to type or say, so how can we guess the user's content preferences? ”

"Then you can't just watch it like that?" In Ma Teng's heart, there is still the last trace of humanity struggling.

In fact, sometimes, he has the last trace of humanity in his heart that has not yet been extinguished, and hopes to do something that he really takes the initiative to make meaningful innovations to society. Instead of always putting ourselves behind the psychological advantage of "we don't have our own ideas, it's because we always look at the problem and design the product from the perspective of the best customer, and put ourselves in the perspective of the least white user", it is self-justifying for the copycat.

In the first two years of Tengyun Company's establishment, I have to say that Ma Teng still has a lot of "active" ideas, and has made some improvements that have not been done before.

Including "I found that domestic netizens are Internet cafes surfing the Internet, so QQ contacts should exist on the server side instead of the user's local computer like QICQ, so as not to lose friends when you change computers".

However, the competition in the two years of the Internet winter made Ma Teng see clearly, "If you think this is good, users may not think it is good, because users may be younger than you."

In order to minimize the burning rate of the company's funds and prevent useless work, Tengyun Company gradually became alienated and became "only when the world proves that Xiaobai really loves this, we will invest money". Let the work of the pathfinder be done by their peers, let them rush to death, try and make mistakes, and when they try it out, Tengyun will follow up immediately.

No one is born a slut, more of them are similar to the players in the battle royale game, maybe their nature is just like the schoolboy who fights through the line of fire, and when he encounters the old cunning to teach him to be a man, he will be blackened - it's just that Ma Teng, the old yin, has a lot of influence, and in another time and space, the entire Huaxia Internet circle has been blackened, and they are all hiding behind, and no one rushes to the front to innovate, and it can only be said that it is fate.

Zhang Zhidong didn't want to hit Ma Teng, but he had to tell the truth, cutting off his last trace of good possibility: "Even if we have the heart, we can't afford to invest in this aspect at all, the construction of this kind of technical team is too expensive." I heard that Google is the tightest follow-up on YY, and is ready to invest more than a billion dollars in this artificial intelligence every year, and we can't afford it. ”

Ma Teng sighed and was silent for a long time.

On the other side, it was Ren Yuxin, who was engaged in operations, who was sitting.

In the past few years, since he was directly in charge of the Tengyun Game Division, this guy has also turned from a relatively pure technical nerd to a guy who ponders every day that "you are not a primary school student, you love to play and not play, and labor and management concentrate on cheating primary school students of their money".

With the mentality of "the lord is worried about the humiliation of the minister", he tentatively solved problems for Ma Teng:

"Pony, I don't know much about artificial intelligence technology, but I studied Gu Cheng's speech yesterday and roughly knew their methods and ideas. You see, we should either hit back at the other party head-on from the righteousness of our position, and show our position that we will never do artificial intelligence push from the perspective of social responsibility.

In this way, it is good to bring back some of the novice users who like to be coerced by social networking and popularity-after all, on the Internet, primary school students make up the vast majority. If Gu Cheng wants to isolate himself from elementary school students, isn't it right in our hands? Even if Tengyun has no progress since then, and can only do business for primary school students across the country for the rest of his life, we will admit it. In the current situation, it is already a good result to be able to keep the primary school market from being eaten away by the YY snowball. ”

Ma Teng's eyebrows raised slightly: "From the perspective of social responsibility? Don't talk about the nonsense behind you, tell me how to make it great from the perspective of social responsibility that we don't do artificial intelligence push. ”

Ren Yuxin was encouraged by this, so he continued to analyze:

"Quite simply, Gu Cheng has always spit on our content sharing as 'social coercion' - in order to express this point of view, he even did not hesitate to defile himself, saying that Renren's current content sharing is also social coercion. It will make most people run around the trend and waste a lot of people's time.

However, Gu Cheng's future 'preference analysis artificial intelligence push', judging from the effect he has described so far, is not another kind of coercion. Because people's understanding is relatively narrow, people below the middle class have little time to understand the whole picture of the world, and their three views are more or less biased. Those who can look at the overall situation without prejudice must at least be the social elite.

According to Gu Cheng's routine, if people in the future only like certain things, the system will continue to push these things to him, and eventually it is easy to form a 'information island', and groups of people with very similar preferences hug each other to keep warm, not knowing what is happening in the outside world, not knowing what is popular in the outside world, then the society will not be torn apart?

Therefore, I think that since we can't do artificial intelligence push, and we don't have the money, it is better to hold a press conference to express our attitude, saying that we are not willing to do artificial intelligence in this area based on 'preventing society from being divided and preventing the national vision from being limited'. Because we are a social enterprise, since we are doing social business, of course, we must take 'let individuals in different cognitive circles in the society collide with each other' as our social responsibility! ”

That's right! "Elementary school students are lazy, and they can't be driven by the nature of primary school students"!

After Ma Teng understood the core idea in Ren Yuxin's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that his soul was like opening another window.

Although even if Tengyun himself is asked to "recommend the most popular things to elementary school students like a loving father or a parent", he will definitely only push content that is lazier than the primary school students themselves. But it didn't matter, he just needed to catch a little bit of counter-argument against Gu Cheng.

Since you can't do it yourself, let's hack Gu Cheng's efforts and pour dirty water on the track of this new industry.

……

The next day, Tengyun's public relations department arranged a press spokesperson to accept point-to-point interviews with reporters from a limited number of media, and then further embellished and embellished the views put forward by Ren Yuxin, and then half-pushed and half-revealed to the media.

Naturally, all the parties who went to interview were actively reporting on the relevant news.

I have to say that Ren Yuxin's rhetoric is still quite confusing. Many defenders began to reflect: If Gu Cheng really followed the way Gu Cheng drew the pie, although the lonely and motivated people could not be coerced by the primary school students, wouldn't the primary school students fall forever? Primary school students who can only get poisoned milk powder may become a piece of social waste that can only be poisoned milk powder for the rest of their lives!

The "Nandu Daily", which received Tengyun's public relations fees, even wrote a special column: "On the danger of preference pushing: beware of the tragedy of 'Showa boys' evolving into 'Heisei scum house' repeating itself in China." ”

The background of the op-ed is nothing more than the statement that "what happened in Fuso 30 years ago will be repeated in Wanwan 15 years ago, which was very popular in China at that time." What happened in Wanwan 15 years ago will now be repeated on the mainland."

What's more, Gu Cheng is currently participating in an international film festival in Tokyo, and the reason why his entry "Sunset in Sanchome" chose to use the social background of Fuso to predict the future of the domestic industry is also based on this tone?

As soon as this article was published, the person who wrote it received a large bounty from Tengyun.

"Mr. Gu, you see Tengyun publishing articles in domestic newspapers to hack us, how can you fight back against this?" That night, Gu Cheng drank with Cai Mingliang and Director Cai, met a circle of friends who participated in the film festival, and when he returned to the hotel, his female secretary put this issue on the desk.
