131. The Wheel of History
The debate between CNN commentators, who has attracted a certain amount of attention in the United States and has a certain degree of attention around the world, and Meng Fanqi, the inventor of generative technology, has come to an absurd end.
CNN fell into the trap set by Meng Fanqi from the very beginning, and since then, it has been beaten passively everywhere due to poor information.
A decisive technological revolution completely destroyed the starting point of CNN.
The biggest argument is easily broken by the new technology of the other side, and the other side has a way to deal with the crisis at this stage.
Somehow, his home live broadcast has become the other party's advertising stage.
There was more than one advertisement, which is outrageous.
In the end, CNN had to cut off the live broadcast stiffly, and said that the equipment was malfunctioning, and that was the end of it.
It can be said that the ugliness is exposed.
"How many times is this wave of operations?" Meng Fanqi looked at his full schedule in the past two days, and his heart blossomed.
He didn't expect things to go so smoothly, this Polik CNN became famous, and the advertisement was real.
The AI camera app rose in place and successfully landed on the other side of the ocean.
In addition, the landing of face recognition algorithms, which Meng Fanqi is more concerned about, has also made rapid progress.
The two largest of these projects, government and mobile payment, can be said to have been a smooth road after this incident, and it couldn't have been smoother.
At this point, what Meng Fanqi can do personally for Vision Vision at this stage has basically been done.
The core business is the leading face recognition capability, just to productize this technology and make good use of the advantages that Meng Fanqi grabbed during this time, it is enough for these people to be busy.
Hearing that the boss was going to divert his main energy, the employees on the side of Vision Vision were at first incredulous and felt that the sky was about to fall.
was so angry that Meng Fanqi scolded with a smile, "I have done everything, what are you still recruiting to do?" ”
That's right.
The core technology boss has made himself a world leader, and the biggest customer boss has directly brought in customers at the level of the government and Ahri, and even the advertising boss has personally called the world.
This hand is full of good cards, not to mention professional managers, even Meng Fanqi and his grandmother can play it.
If this situation can be played out again, it is really better to commit suicide as soon as possible.
Halfway through mid-January 2014, before taking off to Treasure Island, Meng Fanqi arranged a two-day schedule.
It was used to entertain customers led by Ma Yun and Liang Faming, which was his last effort.
The relevance of those trivial matters and technology in the future is not strong, one is not what Meng Fanqi is good at, and the other is not what Meng Fanqi wants to do, so he is not ready to interfere too much.
It's been almost a year since I was reborn, and the main route is actually quite clear, that is, to follow the visual algorithm route I am most familiar with to realize it first.
So actively making money, the main reason is to have the capital to build their own Chinese data infrastructure, make a big platform out of algorithms, and become chess players rather than chess pieces like other giants, to make up for the disadvantages of the Chinese language model, rather than to circle money for the sake of money.
If it was just for money, wealth and freedom as the standard, he Meng Fanqi would have retired a long time ago.
The huge amount of principal collected from Google alone is scattered into a few well-known skyrocketing areas, which is already a lifetime of money that cannot be spent.
With this rare opportunity, being a part of it, working with some of humanity's brightest minds, and even leading large-scale changes in the history of artificial intelligence, is what interests him more.
After all, he was also curious about what the story and inside story were behind these amazing results.
As for making money, it's just a by-product of technology.
When Ma Yun comes tomorrow, Meng Fanqi will definitely be the first to say that famous sentence in front of him: "I'm not interested in money!" ”
At the same time as Meng Fanqi met with these customers, at this point in time of January 14, the wheel of history rolled forward, and Google made another big move in artificial intelligence.
That is the direct acquisition of a small company in the field of artificial intelligence, DeepMind, for a price of $400 million.
This artificial intelligence company was founded in 2010, and many people may be very familiar with its name alone, but they can't think of a specific reason for it for a while.
However, if we talk about a very iconic event in the history of artificial intelligence, Alpha Dog Go AI, everyone must know about it.
In 2016, he defeated the legendary Korean Go player Lee Sedol 4-1, and only the fourth game of the "God Hand" was impossible to find a glimmer of life.
A few months later, the power was upgraded again, and Ke Jie, a rare Chinese Go genius in a century, although the moves were perfect and insisted on the middle game, he could not maintain the peak computing power after all, and he failed to win a single game from the enhanced Alpha Go AI.
It can be said that Alpha Go AI has completely changed the entire Go world, bringing this ancient board game with a thousand-year-old history to a whole new realm.
Ke Jie later recalled that he called the God of Go, saying that it could defeat everything.
This company is very similar to the world-famous OpenAI, which is a small team.
The number of people in the company is small, specializing in two or three directions, and concentrating on polishing.
If you don't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.
DeepMind's Go Alpha Dog series and Alpha Fold protein series are both revolutionary achievements out of the circle.
Not to mention OpenAI, ChatGPT should be said to be the most circle-breaking AI product in history and the most sinking to individual users.
However, at the moment when OpenAI has not yet created an organization, OpenAI's CTO Ilya is still in Google's brain.
Google's acquisition of DeepMind is, to a certain extent, a historic combination.
DeepMind is a bit of a special company, and several of its key leaders, including CEO Demiss, are big fans of board games.
Damis used to be a chess genius, and Dr. Huang Shijie, who replaced the Alpha Go AI to play against Lee Sedol, is an amateur six-dan Go player with a good level.
At their core, they wanted to develop an artificial intelligence software that would allow it to learn on its own when faced with any problem.
According to Demis, this will help solve some of the world's toughest problems.
"AI has the potential to be shocking to humans," he said, "and it can speed up the treatment of diseases, and it can also speed up all sorts of things that are currently progressing at a slower pace." ”
Perhaps in the era of Go AI, although people are shocked by the wisdom and power of artificial intelligence, it is difficult to think of a more practical meaning, after all, Go is only a board game.
Even the pinnacle of the difficulty of board games doesn't change anything.
However, soon, Alpha Fold's breakthrough in protein made the world completely re-understand this ability.
Google's acquisition of DeepMind was facilitated by founder Page.
"It's one of the most amazing technologies I've seen in a long time." Page is confident about DeepMind's prospects, "If you have any resources you need, you can mention them to me or the head of the relevant department." ”
"What we need most is huge computing resources." Demies instinctively replied that in his opinion, the staffing of the team is actually basically complete, and the main shortcoming is that the hardware equipment of the small workshop cannot keep up.
"Also, we hope to talk to Meng Fanqi from Google's brain team." Dammis thought about it again and added such a request.
