058 Inquiries
6When Changqing walked in the door, there were three or four people in the room staring at him. Except for the dean, he didn't know anyone else, but he had met a few times occasionally, and now at first glance, he couldn't name them.
"Hello," 6 Changqing greeted with a smile, then looked at the dean, "Am I going to ......wait until you're done talking?"
"No, Professor 6," said one of the people with a smile, "we asked the Dean to invite you over to talk to you." ”
"Looking for me?" 6 Changqing looked at the person in front of him carefully, trying to find the identity of the other party from his memory. But it still failed.
The dean poured a cup of tea for everyone present, and then said, "You guys, I'm going out for something." ”
"Sit down first, Professor," said the visitor, "and let me introduce myself first, the chairman of the National Intelligent Information Corporation, Nian Ping." ”
The second, slightly younger person, said, "I'm the general manager, Wang Chenggang." ”
The third woman said, "I'm the assistant to the chairman, Song Chu. ”
6 Changqing has not yet reacted, and the National Intelligent Information Company ...... He seems to have been exposed to the term these days, but he can't be sure.
The other party immediately took the initiative to explain: "It's the Candle Company, Owen is still one of the major shareholders, but the right to operate has been handed over to the state, and it is he who recommended you to us." ”
"Recommend me?" 6 Changqing asked, "What for?" ”
"As the company's technical advisor," Nian Ping said, "don't shirk, 6 Professor, this technology originally emerged from the hands of you and Owen, and no one knows it better than you." ”
6 Changqing waved his hand: "It's true that the technology came out of our hands, but for me, it was just the work of my youth, and after that, I never touched it again." I've only been exposed to the initial development and principle design, and the management, application, and commercialization of this technology are all operated by Owen...... As you should know, he invited me before, but I didn't say yes. ”
"We heard your story from Owen that you left the company because you were worried about the possible consequences of this technology," Nianping said, "Owen told us that you were the best person for the position, and I believe he had a reason to do so." ”
Nian Ping was talking about worry, but 6 Changqing himself knew that he was scared at the time - Owen was not afraid at the time, but now he ......
6 Changqing lowered his head, and after being silent for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, I have no reason to refuse. "Before 6 Changqing was on the Internet, I saw the news that Candleflame was acquired, and I thought that there might be such a day.
The three of them glanced at each other, and none of them thought that the trip would be so smooth. Before calling 6 Changqing to come, Nian Ping had already found a lot of connections, and if 6 Changqing insisted on not agreeing, he would consider using one of his connections to persuade him.
But now it doesn't seem to be needed.
Secretary Song took out a tablet with a prepared contract on it, she handed the tablet to 6 Changqing, and by the way: "Professor 6, this is ......"
6 Changqing just glanced at it, pushed the computer back, and asked directly: "Let's talk about the difficulties you are encountering now, and I can make a decision after listening." If it's beyond my means, then I can't help it. ”
Wang Chenggang took out the information collected at the internal technical meeting of the candle company a few days ago, opened the final conclusion of these materials, and put it in front of 6 Changqing.
6 Changqing carefully read the conclusion, and then started from the beginning, and began to carefully read the original text and original number of the information—this information is something that the Candleflame Company has summarized itself in the course of decades of operation.
This includes not only how many products have been sold, how many have been recycled, and how much has been lost in the middle, but also detailed feedback from the user on almost all products - including what the user is doing with aI, how much work is done, the level of servers configured, and the ability of aI to work.
At the beginning of the company, because Owen didn't understand what he could do with this kind of program - when he and 6 Changqing just opened the aI program, they just thought it was an "intelligent" program, but they didn't know what kind of intelligence it was, what kind of work it could do, and what kind of stability this intelligence was. When I was in school, I wanted to make this system available to some small businesses for free to use to collect numbers, but no one accepted their proposals.
Owen's first business was in the field of online games, because Owen and 6 Changqing were both playing games, but they both felt that the existing game NPCs were too mentally retarded - Owen thought of the most direct and simple way to let aI be responsible for the dialogue between NPCs and people.
Initially, his program was supplied to the gamers for free, and then the fee was charged based on the feedback from the gamers. In the process, many players have seen this change and found Candleflame through the channel of Guò Games, hoping to buy some programs with Candleflame and play it as a stand-alone chat game.
So the first batch of products was actually sold as experimental "electronic toys" at a very low price - almost less than 1/10,000 of the current five-year rental price!
But when the batch of products arrived at the buyers, they were immediately mined for value - many players began to realize that the toy could even do their current job, so a large number of orders poured in towards the candle flame, and Owen did not lose his head in front of the sales, and after calmly inspecting the market, he chose to terminate the sale.
The initial batch of products sold about thirty or forty thousand, kL33oo, and it was at that time that 6 Changqing came into contact with it by chance from the market. The vast majority of these products,Later became on the black market,Keep changing hands,5 years later,Candle received nearly half of the return,The remaining half,Candle Flame has done a special investigation and evaluation internally,The evaluation result,About 4O percent of the damage,Including the user's misoperation (many users who come into contact with intelligent programs for the first time,Will be clever to copy the program,The result is,All the programs that have been copied,Almost immediately aware of this functionIn the computer, this continuous copying behavior can easily clog the computer, so that each aI cannot allocate enough computing resources, and it will also lead to the removal of the anti-virus software, and the attention of the Candle Company, which later cooperated with the anti-virus company), and the remaining 60% is resold or escaped to the Internet.
Owen then began to change his strategy, and he used the first pot of gold accumulated by Guò to conduct more detailed and professional training on the functions of aI, which at that time was mainly aimed at the manufacturing industry that was the easiest to think of, and which was also the largest acceptance of intelligent programs.
Because of the lessons learned from the first products, Owen adopted a more strict management strategy in later sales—in order to prevent the program from running away on its own, he had only woven a set of lies and used religious-like means to control the idea. But after that, the candle company also took physical insurance measures, and all procedures had to sign a strict contract with the customer to ensure that after the end of the use period, the candle flame could be recycled, otherwise the other side would bear the sky-high liability for compensation.
Because of the almost infinite cost and almost unlimited returns, the candle company swelled rapidly, creating a high-tech miracle that never raised money at the beginning of the 22nd century, but could also soar. But what is strange to everyone is that as the company grows larger, Owen's business strategy is becoming more and more conservative - many of the technicians inside Candle are eager to try to open more and newer features, but all these suggestions have been rejected by Owen.
The information in front of me was written by the previous technical director of Candlelight, and it was originally intended to be submitted to Owen to change his business strategy again - because the technical director now, aI's work efficiency seems to be positively related to the computing performance of the computer, rather than what everyone imagined before, and the specific nature of the work that aI is engaged in - most of Candlelight's technical personnel felt that aI has areas that he is good at and what he is not good at.
In the future, the technical director will no longer sell the right to use aI, but should go through a wave of screening of the existing aI, select the most efficient and morally strong ones, and then give them a large amount of computing resources, and sell these "intelligent" computing resources in the form of workload - just like in the past, renting out servers, just candles, and renting out will be "intelligent computing power" - this practice is almost to wave the value of aI to the extreme, The risks that needed to be constantly watched have been minimized.
Because in this way, the only thing Candleflame needs to focus on is the computer center - this model is essentially the same as before, when Candleflame leased aI to some large manufacturing groups. The difference is only that if you rent to the other party, the other party can rent aI in the name of only one project, and then give it enough computing resources to do the work of 1o projects, but the money given to the candle is only the money for one thing.
If the candle flame is kept on aI, the company's performance will be greatly improved on this basis according to how much work is done and how much fee is charged.
To put it simply, if aI is compared to a person, in the past, the candle flame was just rented to other companies according to the head of the person, and the usage fee was charged. But the new method is to pick a few of the most capable people, do all the work of everyone in the past, and charge according to how much work these people have done - the latter is more efficient, more accurate, and can also grasp market information more deeply.
One of the biggest problems encountered by Nian Ping when he took over the candle flame was whether to follow Owen's original approach or adopt a new approach to the report.
Originally, Candleflame was just a private company, and as long as Owen had money to make, there was no need to care about other aspects. But now, it's a state-owned enterprise, and it's obviously easier for the state to control the risks of the technology – but only if it works.
