243 Soul Questioning
After explaining everything, Tang Pudding ignored it. However, Tian Jianxing and Pu Jianxing lived in the small building of the miscellaneous college for the first time, but for management considerations, Xu Mengchang arranged the two on the second floor.
The next question came, in order to let the miscellaneous college develop smoothly and give the two freshmen a chance to learn, Xu Mengchang began to discuss with Tang Puding whether he should introduce some serious professors, lecturers and scientific researchers, anyway, the miscellaneous college is not short of money now.
However, this suggestion was directly rejected by Tang Pudding.
"With just a few people now, does the Miscellaneous Academy really need someone to teach the course?
This rhetorical question was very strong, which made Xu Mengchang speechless, and in the end, this proposal was not resolved.
But for Tang Pudding, this proposal still has something to think about.
Therefore, after Xu Mengchang left, he still ignored the trouble caused by his sudden outbreak on the Internet, and decided to convene the second congress of miscellaneous colleges to unify his thinking and establish a pragmatic research style......
The most important meeting in the history of the Miscellaneous School was arranged in a classroom on the first floor, and the participants included Qi Chen, a well-known physicist who has recently risen, Qin Yao, a philosophical researcher, Xu Xiaotian, a senior behind-the-scenes technician and a senior rich second-generation student of the Miscellaneous College, Tian Jianxian, a future optical materials scientist, and Pu Jianxing, a nine-dan chess player from the country of sticksticks.
The presiding officer and supreme leader of the meeting is, of course, Comrade Tang Puding, a well-known modern comprehensive scientist.
The clerk of this meeting was Mr. Bodo, one of the seven mobile phones of Comrade Tian Jianxing, who served as the clerk, and recorded it through audio, restored into a text document with specific software, and then printed and archived.
It's very formal.
Even in order to highlight the importance of this meeting, Tang Puding also specially invited two heavyweight guests, Luo Daxiong, chairman of Beijing International Model Technology Co., Ltd., who has the reputation of China's first women's clothing boss on the Internet, and Wang Hao, the newly promoted Jiangcheng Carl meritorious head coach, to participate.
So the guest lineup can also be said to be quite luxurious.
Of course, all aspects of preparation are also in place, for example, Tang Puding specially spent a lot of money to prepare nameplates for everyone, and also prepared a bottle of Huaxia mineral water, the leading brand of Chinese mineral water - Farmer Three Fists, in each position.
This battle seems to be a bit big.
Therefore, all the delegates attending the meeting were very serious, probably because no one knew what Tang Pudding meant by suddenly making such a big fight.
"First of all, this is a conference of unified thoughts, and many people do not know the purpose of the existence of our miscellaneous academy and our future goals, and they have the mentality of being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day, which is not correct. Second, after unifying our thinking, we need to make specific arrangements for everyone's next study work, so today's meeting is very important. ”
......
"This is a very important meeting. ”
At the same time, in London, England, a high-level meeting was also underway in the conference room of DeepMind, which is already part of Google.
The entire Alpha Dog team was there.
The focus of the discussion at this meeting was naturally the loss of Alpha Dog Yuan.
For these R&D personnel, the defeat of Alpha Dog Yuan was of course not so simple, and because of their curiosity far beyond ordinary people, they were eager to know what technology the mysterious academy in Huaxia used to outperform their neural network learning technology.
"Or maybe we should reach out to them. If we can, we may be able to exchange research results. Joseph was the first to speak.
"No, Mr. Joseph, that Huaxia man is very arrogant, you should know the content of his Weibo, next week we will send someone to Huaxia to send him money? A Google executive and Google's vice president of Europe, Mid Codes, did not hesitate to reject Joseph's proposal.
Passive means no face.
Of course, anyone who sees Tang Puding's Weibo will be angry, although Google did not respond, but it means that they will agree with the decision of the Alpha dog team.
"But ......"
"No, you should know, Mr. Joseph, DeepMind has actually been losing money, a total of $391 million the year before, and a further $421 million loss this year. Or I should also remind you that DeepMind has an outstanding debt that is about to mature, totaling $1.2 billion, of which $880 million is owned by Google. ”
Mid Codes spoke directly.
"In other words, the employees of DeepMind are paid millions a year, but your results are not as good as that of a new Chinese young man, if it were me, I think you should be vigilant and not think about buying someone else's technology. ”
Well, straightforward words hurt Joseph a lot.
But he was speechless.
In order to follow the expansion of the artificial intelligence laboratory, DeepMind has recruited more and more people in the past two years, and most of the research talents in artificial intelligence are very expensive, so the salary is very high. Of course, the investment is larger.
However, as a laboratory, most of DeepMind's work is to do basic research, of course, it is impossible to bring great benefits, if it were not for Google's support all the time, only with DeepMind's own hematopoietic ability, it would probably have collapsed as a whole long ago.
Of course, although DeepMind has failed to bring profits to Google, and even continues to lose money every year, it has at least brought Google face.
However, now that someone is about to lose face, their Alpha Dog Yuan has become the pioneer of being slapped in the face, which is indeed a sad story, which of course makes Joseph's team feel disgraced.
"But ......"
"No, Mr. Joseph, what you have to do now is to hurry up and conduct your research, although Alpha Dog Yuan was defeated, I still believe in the capabilities of DeepMind in the field of artificial intelligence. So what you need to do now is to regain the number one position in the world, and not become the weakness of the group! Otherwise, the headquarters may consider whether it is worth the investment regardless of the cost. ”
Mid Codess said categorically.
These words shocked the audience, like a scoop of cold water poured directly on their heads.
Of course, they knew that it was unlikely that they would say that last word in the capacity of Mead Cordes alone.
This is enough to show that Headquarters is already thinking about this issue.
And for DeepMind, that's a big problem.
If Google doesn't continue to invest, where are they looking for such a stupid and money-rich financier?
"Well, Mr. Codes, I think we get what you mean. But you should know that research never happens overnight......"
But the young man did it...... Gentlemen, is your collective wisdom not as good as that of a Chinese child?" Mid Codes asked, straight to the soul.
