Three days after the live broadcast conversation between Cafferty and Meng Fanqi, this matter is still relatively hot in the United States.

The main reason is that CNN uses emotions to involve too many elements that the American people care about.

What privacy, politics, rights and so on.

The American public now labels Meng Fanqi as an unabashed AI technology maniac, with mixed reviews.

There was a certain misunderstanding here, but Meng Fanqi didn't care, and he wasn't ready to explain anything.

Most of the people were curious about the matter, but a few people seemed to be extremely excited.

Among them, the most active person, Meng Fanqi never imagined that he would be the former CEO of Google, Schmidt.

As the former helmsman of Google, a Silicon Valley giant, Schmidt is not short of money or connections.

But the regrettable thing is that on top of one of his personal interests, it has never been satisfied.

That is to make a national-level TV show.

Since his retirement, Schmidt has had the idea of doing a talk show or a talk show several times.

He once pulled the famous producer McClear to cooperate, hoping to become the host of a talk show on CNN.

Unfortunately, CNN insiders described his recording as "a complete disaster."

On another occasion, on a show, Schmidt made a big joke: "If people aren't happy with Google Street View posting their photos online, then move away." ”

Such imprudent rhetoric has made major television networks in the United States reluctant to choose Schmidt as the host.

Schmidt has spent more than two years trying to enter the television industry in 11 years, but there has been no splash so far.

However, Meng Fanqi's incident seems to have become a turning point for Schmidt's TV industry.

The publishers of generative technologies and algorithms that are now on the cusp are all related to Google.

On Google's side, people who have enough information about this, such as Jeff, Hinton and the two founders, are reluctant to come forward for interviews.

In this way, Schmidt was the only option.

"Hello, Mr. Schmidt. We have the privilege of speaking with you today to talk about Google's latest technological breakthrough in artificial intelligence. First of all, I would like to ask you what you think about these technological breakthroughs. ”

"The FaceGAN network is an extremely exciting development. The research of this technology has great potential to be used to better understand facial images and generate more realistic virtual images. Even in the future, we can make image adaptations of multiple aspects of facial features"

Schmidt has worked hard for his TV dream, and has prepared some related technical vocabulary and concepts very well.

After chatting about some related content, the host directly led the topic to the proposer of the technology, Meng Fanqi.

"So, please describe, Mr. Schmidt. What kind of person is Meng? ”

"He's a genius through and through, and while I haven't spoken directly to him in reality, I can say that his talent goes far beyond the image-related field."

"Oh? Is it convenient to disclose to us? "When the host heard this, he came to his senses." What does it mean? ”

I talked too much about the boring content of the routine before, and only now did I finally talk about some serious material.

"There are now more than 2,000 billionaires in the world, and they can be said to be the elite of the elite, and the speed at which they are making money is staggering.

Although the figure of wealth is much larger now than in the past, it is still not easy to make a billion dollars. ”

Schmidt did not answer the question directly, after all, it involves Google's core revenue business.

He spared a bend and did not specify the specific technical direction and content, but only hinted that Meng Fanqi's technical achievements had exceeded the value of a billion dollars.

The word billion means billion. Billionaires don't have to make a billion, and many people worth hundreds of millions can call themselves that.

But instead of using the word billionaire, Schmidt is specifically implying that Meng has grabbed more than a billion dollars.

“Holy Shit！ Do you want to say that Meng Fanqi has broken through the worth of a billion dollars with technology? The host couldn't sit still on the spot, FaceGAN is obviously not a technology that can have sky-high revenue at this stage, so it seems that Meng Fanqi's current value in front of the public is only the tip of the iceberg.

"There are some things I can't say too much about here, and what I can say is that the global billion-dollar club will have the youngest member in history, and the fastest member to reach that standard."

Schmidt's message still leaves a lot of leeway, for example, he doesn't disclose very specific figures, nor does he disclose the time it took Meng Fanqi to get the profits.

If not, the level of shock will increase by several levels.

Many people may not have a concept of such a large amount, which is why in the past life, there were often many people who were still reading, saying that their favorite games often generated tens of billions of dollars.

In fact, not to mention a billion dollars, even if it is 100 million dollars in cash, it is already a proud existence in the United States.

In the face of Meng Fanqi's technological breakthrough, Google is not ready to come up with so much cash to share him, but needs to use other forms such as equity and assets.

There are only about 500 billionaires in the United States.

In countries like the United Kingdom and RB, there are only about 30-50 people with a single asset of more than one billion.

Weaker and smaller countries, even Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which are famous for their local tyrants, have less than one billion dollars in double digits.

In this way, the host suddenly understood why Meng Fanqi's attitude towards those malicious comments on Twitter seemed so bullish.

"If I make a billion in my early 20s, why wouldn't I be a hundred times better than him? I'm riding right on the head of this bunch of idiots! ”

Not only are the numbers staggering, but the speed that Schmidt hinted at in a year or so is equally astonishing.

It took more than ten years for the well-known celebrities in the Internet industry in the United States, Bill Gates. The two founders of Google, Brin and Page, for seven or eight years. It took Zuckerberg about four years to cross the threshold of Facebook's rapid rise.

Although there is an inflation factor in it, the current billion is not as high as the gold content of the year, but this speed is by no means a joke.

Schmidt took advantage of this controversy and popularity to get through a TV addiction, but Meng Fanqi felt unhappy about it.

As the saying goes, wealth is not exposed, not to mention that the so-called hundreds of millions of dollars will be at least a quarter away from getting it into your hands.

Before the money arrived, it was used as a braggart talk on national TV, which made Meng Fanqi, who wanted to be more low-key financially, lose his efforts.

However, at this time, Meng Fanqi had no time to have any emotions.

The repercussions of generative technology are unprecedented, and its security concerns are overemphasized.

This is the perfect time to release your own face detection algorithm.

If the self-published generative content can be completely detected by this new algorithm, the so-called crisis will be solved and most of the previous crisis will be resolved.
