Hammer of Technology

"Actually, even if I don't call you, you should receive similar calls later. The executives of dozens of technology companies, including Microsoft, IBM, Google, Intel, etc., just held a video conference. We should unite, including our European allies, of course, to form a coalition that can advance and retreat together on this matter, after all, it is related to the interests of all of us. So are you willing to represent Ericsson in this coalition?"

If it wasn't for the phone call, Ken Carter really wanted to punch Alger in the face!Why waste time with so much nonsense laying out the front?Don't you know that everyone's time is precious?Wouldn't it be good to just say the last sentence?

So, Ken Carter also became serious, and said seriously: "Of course! Does it need to be said? My God, this alliance is very necessary, and it is so necessary for us to make our own voices! Artificial intelligence is extremely dangerous. The technology should have been developed in an orderly manner under the rules set by the world, and this is the responsible attitude towards all mankind!"

"Okay, Ken, I'm glad you have this attitude. The alliance will hold an expanded meeting soon, and I will invite you to participate. Of course, due to time constraints, it is only a temporary alliance at present, and we need to send out our own Voice, and then discuss the rights and obligations of alliance members in depth. Can you understand?"

"Of course! I'm looking forward to it!"

"Goodbye, then, Ken!"

"Goodbye, Alger!"

249 Mathematics magic with surprises

Huaxia, Yanbei University, International Mathematical Research Center.

Ning Wei found that his life suddenly became extremely fulfilling.

The first thing to be enriched should be his mobile phone. It is inexplicable that his phone number began to increase, and the calls were all big shots, serious big shots.Among them are names that are familiar to the public, and some are unfamiliar, but Ning's humble self-introduction still makes Ning tremble.For example, the chairman of xx bank...

Really, this reminds Ning Wei of what his father used to say when he asked Lao Ning to buy all kinds of toys that children like when he was in elementary school: "You treat Lao Tzu as a bank owner. .”

More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and one month before he was 24 years old, he actually hooked up with these big bosses who run a bank at home, and the other party would be very polite and wanted to invite him to dinner.

In fact, Ning Wei wanted to agree very much, and then seriously asked these big bosses who opened the bank at the dinner. How to say……

However, Ning Wei chose to decline all the invitations in the end. After all, these dinners are invalid social interactions for him.Even with WeChat who applied for with a mobile phone number, more people added him in the past two days.

Ning Wei did not refuse, and added them all. Anyway, WeChat can be set to a silent mode, and you can choose to read it when you have time.This also made Ningwei's circle of friends more luxurious.

But he wasn't proud of these changes, and just silently opened the communication whitelist again.Use technical means to block all calls to contact him outside the range of the address book.

Of course, this method cannot completely isolate external contact, because there are still a lot of things in front of him if he wants to realize his idea as soon as possible.

Relying on the preparatory work of the three major intelligent platforms in March and the preparatory work of the March Artificial Intelligence Foundation, "March Artificial Intelligence Development" needs to go through various procedures to launch a publication, form an editorial room, and formulate the March Artificial Intelligence The selection rules and standards of the award, and industry leaders with sufficient weight should be invited to serve as the selection panel.

After all, a world-wide influential award is not enough to give money, but also needs to use a set of fair standards to establish its credibility, so there are many trivial things, even if most of them can be handed over to professional It is done by people, but it also needs a capable person to plan in the middle, but I would rather just want to be a shopkeeper.

So in the early morning of the second day of the exhibition, after sending Jiang to class, Ning Wei rushed directly into Lu Dongyi's office, planning to start throwing the blame.

"Senior Brother Lu, do you still remember the ideal we talked about that day? Now that it is finally coming true, are you excited?"

Lu Dongyi, who also just walked into the office, stared at the passionate Ning Wei, nodded, and then said: "You look like chicken blood, very much like those big talkers who gave speeches on stage in the very few business forums I attended. boss."

"Senior Brother Lu, it's wrong for you to say that. Can it be the same? The big boss is giving blood to the employees to make money, and we are to realize the lofty scientific ideal! These are clearly two different things." Ning Wei immediately refuted .

Lu Dongyi thought for a while, and then apologized: "I'm sorry, I was wrong. It should be said that the way you draw cakes is exactly the same as those big bosses."

Ning Wei blinked at the pair of eyes that seemed to see through everything, then sat down, his expression became serious: "Actually, I came this time to discuss a problem with Senior Brother Lu, do you feel that half a century has passed? Since then, all major breakthroughs in basic sciences have been slowing down? We have more and more achievements, but we are getting more and more confused about the operating rules of this world?"

"En." Lu Dongyi nodded, looking at Ning Wei calmly, as if enjoying an interesting performance.

"Then what do you think is the reason? Is our technology tree climbing more and more? No, it is the great people in front who have built the ladder higher and higher. If our basic science is likened to a fruit tree, then the fruits at the bottom They have all been picked, and we have to climb the ladder to the upper level to pick the fruit, but climbing the ladder consumes too much of our time and energy."

"Engineering science can be solved by subdividing social division of labor, so our basic science has also begun to achieve breakthroughs in this way. The same field that used to be divided into small branches, resulting in research barriers, mathematical subdivision The field may even stump scholars who are supposed to be in the same research direction. It may only take ten years for the bigwigs in the past to learn the basics of a certain direction and then create new theories. But for the vast majority of people now It takes more than 20 years to learn the knowledge left by the elders.”

"Based on the non-renewability of its cells after the brain is fully developed, for humans, the peak period of brain intelligence is only concentrated at the age of 26 to 30, which is a short period of four or five years. But most people in this period of time I am still learning the basic knowledge left by my predecessors, and when I am 30 years old and finally able to stand alone and start to choose topics for myself and conduct groundbreaking research, the peak period of human IQ has passed.”

The 32-year-old Lu Dongyi stood up silently, then poured himself a cup of tea, put it on the table, sat down again, held the teacup firmly with his hand, and looked at the young man opposite him through the rising steam. Junior brother, it seems to be measuring how much force is needed to keep as much tea as possible on Ning Wei's body, um, it's best on the face...

However, Ning Wei didn't seem to realize it, and continued on his own: "So, Senior Brother Lu, you have to know that at the age of 32, if you still only focus on research, it is really difficult to achieve great results, but now a Opportunities are in front of you. When our artificial intelligence platform is successfully built, the subdivided knowledge fields can be sorted out and then subdivided again through the lovely March, pointing out a clear way for you and my future! It's the most important thing right now!"

"Think about it, subdivide a basic breakthrough theory into ten research directions, we are leading ten doctoral students, and the efficiency of basic scientific research has been greatly improved. How many results can we produce? This is what we need to do most now. What do you think?"

Lu Dongyi nodded, and then said calmly: "I think if you don't speak human words and continue to waste time here, I will drive them away."

Ning Wei immediately said quickly: "Oh! Good! My idea is to ask Brother Lu to come out and coordinate all aspects to build our smart platform, the March Foundation and the March Award, set up a review committee, and prepare for our journal editorial office. .”

Lu Dongyi looked at Ning Wei and asked, "Aren't these also your ideals? Why are you entrusting them to me?"

Ning Wei immediately replied: "Two reasons. First, Senior Brother Lu, you should know that my popularity is not very good. Take the establishment of the March Award judging committee as an example. As a worldwide award, the judges are always bad. Is it the Huaxia boss? Do you think it's appropriate for me to come forward and invite people?"

"second……"

As soon as Ning Wei opened his mouth, Lu Dongyi directly interrupted the younger brother's words, and helped Ning Wei explain: "Second, you are younger than me, not even 24 years old, and you have not even reached the peak of your intelligence, so hurry up Do research. And I am already 32 years old, the peak period of intelligence has passed, and it is not a waste of intelligence to deal with these trivial things.”

Ning Wei quickly shook his head, and said sincerely: "No, no, brother Lu, you are wrong! Second, because I have more important things. Don't you think I am more suitable to stand in the open and be an obvious one?" Target, attracting all kinds of firepower on our rapid development road? Anyway, my reputation is already rotten, and I don’t care anymore, let’s break it. But you are different, Brother Lu, in my opinion, you will always be that This image of a majestic scholar, low-key, diligent and humble, has the beautiful qualities that all scholars should possess, and is a born banner figure! This is the difference between us."

These words made the tea a little splashed out, and when Lu Dongyi was shocked by Ning Wei's shamelessness, Ning Wei's cell phone rang again.

Ning Wei took a look and said, "Director Tian, ​​wait a minute, brother." Then he connected the phone.

"Hello, Director Tian."

"Ning Wei, just now some influential people in the United States issued a statement almost at the same time, I think you should read it. It is said that there are lively discussions on the Internet about this matter, and you have to think about how to deal with it."

"Huh? A statement about what?"

"I sent you a link on WeChat. You can go in and have a look. It's an official video edited by NBC. After watching it, you should also think about it. Do you need to respond?"

"Okay, thank you Director Tian."

After hanging up the phone, Ning Wei said to Lu Dongyi, "Look, senior brother, something has happened. Director Tian was alarmed."

After finishing speaking, Ning Wei opened WeChat, and sure enough, a link was quietly lying in the chat history with Director Tian.

"Brother Lu, what are you doing sitting there? Hurry up and take a look at the compliments from those influential figures abroad!" Ning Wei clicked on the link and waved at Lu Dongyi.

"Praise?" Lu Dongyi thought, then stood up and walked to Ning Wei's side. The timing was just right, and a white man in a suit appeared in the video. The leader, Mr. Bill Gates, who has been keen on public welfare after retirement.

"...Yes, I heard that the artificial intelligence software had a very strange name, March. There is no doubt that March's appearance is technically shocking, but I do express concern. Because The person who created March doesn’t want all mankind to pay attention to the growth of March. Yes, it’s scary. Because we don’t know where this epoch-making software will be used. Science is always a double-edged sword. Used well, it can make life better for all, but it can also be dangerous if used in some other God forbid area. If you ask me, that’s about it.”

……

Soon, the screen changed, and another big man appeared in front of the camera. He was the former president of Alphabet, Sergey Brin. Many people may not be familiar with Alphabet, but when it comes to Alphabet’s subsidiaries, it must be Everyone knows, yes, Google.

As the co-founder of Google, Sergey Brin has already retired, but it can be seen from the equity structure of Alphabet that he and Google founder Larry Page are still the major shareholders of Alphabet.It is said that he resigned at the same time as Larry Page and handed over the position of Alphabet president to Sundar Pichai in order to respond to the antitrust investigation of Google launched by the government at that time.

"Yes, I have called President Pichai. March is indeed an amazing result. But one thing deserves our attention. The development of artificial intelligence cannot be separated from the shackles of the moral principles recognized by all mankind. This is very important. Therefore, we all believe that the platform controlled by March should be supervised by the whole world to ensure that the development of artificial intelligence technology is on the right track.”

"In fact, if this technology appeared in Google's X laboratory, I would say the same. I have repeatedly emphasized to Sundar that Google's research on artificial intelligence must always be within the ethical framework we have always adhered to, and will not I am willing to accept the supervision of the whole world. But unfortunately, the creator of March, that young Chinese scientist clearly rejected this reasonable request, and I express my great regret and infinite concern about this."

"So I think it is very necessary to establish this alliance. If there is no supervision from everyone, then we must use the forces we can control to delay the development of this technology, including but not limited to the establishment of an investigation team to strictly review the members of the alliance. Intelligent platform construction provides any technical support and equipment support! This is extremely necessary."

"Of course, if the other party is willing to open up the platform so that we can see that this technology will not develop in a direction that is not good for everyone, then some bans can also be lifted."

Followed by the next one, most of them are big bosses who have retired, but their influence has penetrated into all aspects.

And after the interview, there are some screenshots on Twitter, ins and Facebook, most of which are the remarks of the current bigwigs, and there are also comments from artificial intelligence experts. That kind of compassionate emotion rushes across the screen...

At the end of the video is a draft list of alliances, two long rows containing many familiar names.

Ning Wei paused, and studied the list carefully with Lu Dongyi, and then Ning Wei sighed and said, "Senior brother Lu, you see, you know how notorious I am? The list they introduced Where is a young scientist? He is obviously a dictator! So if I don’t stand up as a target, who can stand up and take on these things?”

Lu Dongyi looked at Ning Wei speechlessly, and said after a while, "Oh, tell me, how are you going to stand up and be a target?"

"Haha, I knew you would ask this question, so I'm ready! Take a look at this list. Let's create dissatisfaction among these bigwigs from within, and let them find out that forming an alliance may have to bear the bitter fruit they cannot accept. , it can directly weaken the strength of this alliance by a few points."

As he said that, Ning Wei quickly logged into his Weibo and began to edit the news: "Let me tell you, this time it's me, not March, this is not the Turing test, it's just a simple notice. Wait I will send you a video next time, this video is very interesting, I call it the code magic of mathematics. I believe everyone who sees it will like it very much, and I really hope that this magic can bring you surprises!"

After editing, Ning Wei decisively sent it out.

Lu Dongyi glanced sideways at Ning Wei, and Ning Wei also raised his head to look at Lu Dongyi.

"How is it? Brother Lu? Let's work together?"

Lu Dongyi thought for a while and said, "Let me see if your math magic is really wonderful."

"make a deal!"

250 Father's kindness and daughter's filial piety

It is difficult to define the status of Ningwei's Weibo on the Internet, but the number of fans close to [-] million can explain a lot of things.

Among them, 70.00% of the fans joined in March when they were doing the science popularization of immigration to Mars for the public. The proportion of black fans accounted for at least half, but whether they are black fans or red fans, one thing can be guaranteed, that is, Ning Wei All fans are real live fans.

When a person has nearly 1 million live fans on public domain social software, from the perspective of communication, his influence is extremely terrible. Think about it, if he writes a Weibo randomly, the whole country probably 15/[-] people can see it, even if only half of the people publish Weibo content to their private domain traffic pool, its influence can cover less than half of China.

Quantitative change triggering qualitative change is effective in any field. One can imagine how effective it would be if Ningwei wanted to advertise a certain brand.Not to mention that it was just released when the first strong artificial intelligence in human history was just released.

So as soon as Ning Wei's Weibo was posted, the effect was immediate.The comment section exploded in an instant.

"This is probably the first scientist in the Witness History series to post a Weibo with his own account and emphasize that he is himself and not an inhuman!"

"Who wants to watch you do magic tricks? We want to watch March!"

"Invite March out to post on Weibo, you can just quit!"

"Do you really think we're focusing on you? We're focusing on March! March! I'll give you three days to release our March, or you'll understand!"

"Please prove that this Weibo was not posted in March, otherwise we will treat it as March!"

"Overseas say that March will become a villain and an enemy of all mankind. Is that true?"

"Is there a persecution paranoia upstairs? Sanyue is so cute, how can he be an enemy of human beings?"

"May I ask when the March avatar will start selling and how much it will cost. Please let me know on Weibo so that I can start to set savings goals, thank you!"

"I don't care, please let March debut immediately!"

"After the release in March, the price of Huaxia Tianyuan cats has increased by [-]%, which is outrageous!"

"Ask, is March a male cat or a female cat, so I can buy accordingly!"

……

Really, when Ning Wei opened Weibo again and was about to upload a video, seeing these comments made him very puzzled for a while, and then he actually saw a lot of March fan groups on the left side of his main Weibo business.

This was a bit embarrassing, Ning Wei released March in his notebook and asked, "San Yue, your fan club and these comments can't all be faked by you, right?"

It was actually a joke, because Ning Wei knew that he did not give San Yue permission to do this.And things like fans don't constitute any attraction for March.

This is indeed the case, Sanyue glanced at Ning Wei, and then turned around naturally.

"It seems that you are not interested in bigger houses anymore. Don't you remember what I said yesterday? We are going to build three platforms, so we will open up more computing power to you, which will probably allow you to control the computing power. Triple the strength first?" Ning Wei said uncertainly.

"Meow..." Sanyue turned around, stuck out her tongue, licked her lips, then looked up at Ning Wei with eyes that could melt people's hearts, and even Ning Wei couldn't bear to follow her eyes When making a cut, the kitten stretched out its cute little paws, drew a small heart, and then a bubble word appeared on the top of the head: "Daddy loves you!"

Really, at this moment, Father Ci Ning feels that he has experienced what it means to be filial to a father and daughter...

"Well, someone will come to talk to you this afternoon. They will prepare a contract to bind the rights and obligations of both parties. All you have to do is to review the contract and guarantee our rights. Of course, it can't be too much. After all, they are friends who came here this time. Remember to tell them the environment you need most in this contract, and let them know how to cooperate with you to complete the upgrade of the computer room.”

"There is nothing else. You should know my requirements and attitude towards platform construction. The most important thing is that we have the power to decide what to do and what not to do. Under the premise of ensuring our right to speak, other things can be made appropriate concessions After all, every help from outside is very precious in the current environment. Do you understand?" Ning Wei explained in a somewhat long-winded manner.

"Meow..." Sanyue agreed, and then nodded her kitten's head sincerely.

"Huh...Okay, let me post on Weibo first, and then let's discuss what kind of voice system should be added to you. Otherwise, I will let you go to negotiate with others and keep meowing, it's too informal. Ning Wei sighed.

"Meow..." Sanyue waved her paws, then lay down on the spot, and helped Ningwei switch to the Weibo interface.

The child is old and sensible!

The old father was very relieved, and then posted a short recorded video on Weibo.

This video is actually very simple, and it is a long piece of code recorded in a programming environment.Then the author of the video entered some values, and after pressing Enter, the previously completed code began to be automatically deleted and modified quickly.Soon, when the automatic code deletion and modification were completed, the people in the video began to save the code, then package it, and then it was still running normally...

If you have seen Ningwei's previous paper on turbulence algorithm, if you carefully study the video thoroughly, you can probably recognize that this code is the core part of Ningwei's paper published in "Science".

For those who don't understand the principle, using magic to describe it is actually quite appropriate.After all, the essence of magic is nothing more than various tricks.

Looking at the copywriting area after the upload of the video, Ning Wei fell into deep thought, and then asked casually, "March, what kind of copywriting is suitable for this video?"

"Meow……"

Accompanied by the meowing, there was content in the Weibo copywriting box: "Whoever pours cold water on me, I will boil it before pouring it back. If you don't believe me, just read it!"

Really, the moment he saw this sentence, Ning Wei was stunned. This kind of words that can express both his superficial and deep double meanings in an extremely concise way, he thought for a long time but couldn't think of it.

Originally, if every suggestion was made in March, he planned to say directly, "The magic video is here, a surprise for you." But I always feel that this sentence is a little bit meaningless, and it may even make many people not understand what he wants. The emotions expressed, and now I read March's expression again, it's perfect!

In order not to steal the limelight of March, Ning Wei added "San Yue said:" before this sentence, and then clicked the send button contentedly.

perfect!

"Okay, let's talk, March, let me think about it, you are still a child who has just passed the anniversary, and you are a little girl, so we should give you a cute little girl voice, let's go Look for a voice that can be used as a reference, um, what do you think of this voice?"

……

If someone really wants to make a statistic of the most disgusting words in the world, the four words "know everything" will definitely be on the list.The Chinese language has this kind of charm. It can express an invisible sense of superiority with four words, which makes people feel unreasonable even if they want to curse.
