The survival of WeChat is the instant communication needs between smartphone users, and the emergence of smart glasses has seriously shaken the foundation of WeChat's survival, because the dominant software in smart glasses is Athena, although Athena is not an operating system, but it plays a more extensive role than the operating system.

In the era of intelligence, the core of the information system is no longer the operating system, but the intelligent core, the operating system has been relegated to a secondary position, becoming a platform for coordinating hardware and software resources, and the main communication interface of users is no longer the operating system, but AI.

The emergence of Athena itself is not very fatal to the products and enterprises in the information age, but when the combination of smart glasses and Athena appears at the same time, it has a strong rejection and elimination effect on smartphones and PCs.

Smartphones and PCs are the material carriers of the information age, and without these two product platforms, a series of products and software in the information age will lose their foundation.

Smart glasses have a strong substitution effect on smartphones and PCs, and this substitution is based on technology replacement, so this substitution trend is particularly irresistible, and the general trend of the development of the times is not something that a company or a product can resist.

With Athena, in fact, many software no longer have room to live, because Athena is the interface of human-computer interaction, and Athena is able to call all software in the background, so whether it is WeChat, QQ, office, acdsee, player, browser, etc., in fact, their human-computer interaction interface can be blocked by Athena.

Athena can invoke the functionality of all of these software, but don't let them pop up and keep them running in the background all the time.

Just as the computer opened the information age, smart glasses and Athena opened the era of intelligence, a new era is coming, it will inevitably face a series of reshuffles of industries and enterprises, and the backward production capacity that will be eliminated in the information age will become the part that will be reshuffled.

On this basis, the foundation of WeChat's survival was dismantled by Athena, and its demise in the era of intelligence is almost doomed, unless it becomes another AI and seizes the share of the AI market, otherwise if it does not change, there is no doubt about its slow death.

Athena's position in the intelligent era is much like Windows in the PC era, and even much more powerful than Windows, users can download and install other software by themselves while using Windows, but Athena locks down the user interface and establishes a closer active connection with the user, which Windows does not have.

So Athena wants to eliminate which software is very simple, just provide a software with similar functions, or simply not let the interface of this software appear, as long as it does not affect the normal use of the user, it is not difficult for Athena to influence the user in the interaction. This is where the advantages of AI over information age products such as Windows come in - interaction, communication, and active influence on users.

The emergence of Athena and smart glasses has caused huge pressure and even fear to all kinds of IT companies, the first of which is all kinds of PC manufacturers and mobile phone manufacturers, some of which are directly investing in the construction of smart glasses factories, and some are trying to make their products start to be intelligent.

Each has its own ideas, but invariably, the Eiffel company that developed Athena has become the target of public criticism, but any consortium with a little strategic thinking wants to try to get the equity of Eiffel, and more companies are trying to develop other AI products similar to Athena.

The business law that once showed strong power in the information age is also unshakable in the intelligent era, and the winner-takes-all law is equally effective in the intelligent era.

At this time, other companies want to follow suit, and they need to solve a series of technical hurdles, which do not require a lot of time and money to overcome.

Some companies are persistent in investing, insisting on their own intelligent tickets, and some companies are trying to find a breakthrough from Eiffel, since their own development of AI has fallen behind, so long to make Athena their own.

Eiffel became the center of the whirlpool, and its background soon leaked out, only to be surprised to find that behind Eiffel was the castle, and the main controller of the castle was Mo Hui, who had set off a wave of big data......

The flock to the conglomerates did not happen, and the first to come to the door was Mary Barra, GM's chairman. At this time, GM has completely secured the throne of the world's largest automobile company, and Toyota, which is in second place, has 9 million vehicles, and now one out of every three cars on the road around the world is made by GM.

"Rare guest, chairman!" Mo Hui greeted Mary at the entrance of the building early.

"Mo, you've worked a miracle again."

"The chairman won't just come to praise me this time, right?"

"The castle you started is very successful, and GM has several other families that want to inject capital." Mary's words were very flat, like friends chatting, but Mo Hui could feel the weight behind this sentence.

"Can I say no?" Mo Hui looked directly into Mary's eyes and looked at her without giving in.

"Mo, I think we have been working together for so long, there should be a certain foundation of trust, I hope you don't see this proposal as an offense, or an encroachment on interests."

Mo Hui smiled and motioned for Mary to continue.

"I have to admit that I made a mistake in my judgment, I should have invested in it earlier, when you were just about to build the castle, and I don't think you would have turned me down at that time."

"Not necessarily." Mo thought about it and said, when the castle was established, there was actually no shortage of money, with Skynet's help, funds will never be a problem, no matter whose money it is, you don't have to pay for it yourself anyway.

"If the castle's grades weren't so good, there wouldn't be so many people coming to you through me. Eiffel is so successful that it is even disrupting the entire IT industry, and all software and hardware companies in the IT field will face pressure from it, this change is too sudden, and the benefits it affects are too huge. ”

"Did you know that if everything is allowed to develop, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, Apple and many more companies may all face a huge crisis, and the root cause of all this is Eiffel."

"Believe me, in the face of life and death, money will do anything, not to mention trillions of dollars facing the threat of death, and they will not hesitate to start a war!" (To be continued.) )
