No matter how extravagantly you spend money in the future, I think it will last for a few lifetimes, and now the most worrying thing should be those mobile phone manufacturers, the Xia family, a software maker, will always be on the second line of the war.

Even if he took a ten thousand step back and said that the Xia family went bankrupt today, it would be all right, and he would still be at ease for the rest of his life.

"That's right... If Xiao Tong was a boy, life would not be so easy now, and I wouldn't let her be so easy."

"But she is a girl, and she has no idea of ​​taking over the company now, so I have to think about her future."

really!

I knew that only Xia Tong could make the man in front of me do such things that ordinary people couldn't understand.

Whether it's the trade war or the core technology, in the eyes of Xia Tong's father, none of Xia Tong is important. He really gave up the whole world for Xia Tong.

"Everyone is born, old, sick, and dying. I will die in another 40 to 40 years. It's hard to say whether I can live for another 20 to [-] years. But my energy can support me to work for another [-] years at most. By that time, the company It must be handed over to her."

"It's not as easy for me to maintain this "Kingdom on the Beach" as it seems to outsiders, and Xiaotong has no interest in managing the company. If the company is really handed over to her, corruption and civil strife will probably appear first. And then it's not far from falling apart..."

"So I have to prepare for the worst for her. I can find someone to manage the company for her, but you also know that the Internet industry eliminates a company very quickly. If one day Xia's is eliminated by the market, then what will happen to her? There must be something that will guarantee her a lifetime of food and clothing, and it doesn't require her to pay too much energy."

"what?"

Subconsciously asked this sentence, Xia Tong's father didn't answer, but just pointed to the big screen next to him.

Looking in the direction of the finger, the moonlight on the screen is poignant, evenly falling on a beautiful and refined virtual woman, and now she is definitely a master-level figure in terms of painting skills.

"This is?"

"It's just an original painting for modeling. I personally call it "Project Zero" because I hope the world will start from scratch..."

achive dreams

"Have you ever seen a sci-fi movie?"

"Seen."

I’m really not talking nonsense, my favorite movie genres are suspense and science fiction, because only these two kinds of movies can make me watch with my brain.

Like "Interstellar" and "Inception", in my mind, they are tied for the number one sci-fi movie. I have watched it seven or eight times over and over again, and I never get tired of watching it.

As for "The Matrix", although it is a bit of a milestone, it is because the age is too long, and because the subject matter is not to my liking, so I have not planned to read it, just read a few impressions on the Internet. thing.

"Then you should know what artificial intelligence is like in those sci-fi movies, right?"

"Um……"

ok~~

An "artificial intelligence" killed both "Interstellar" and "Inception". Now I want to say that the artificial intelligence that left the most profound impact on me in the movie should be Jarvis in "Iron Man". The impression is basically omnipotent.

But the prerequisite for me to think this way is that "Iron Man" can be called a science fiction film. Isn't there a saying now that "undecided, quantum mechanics"?

Juxtaposed with it are "unexplainable, travel through time and space", "not enough space, parallel universe", "insufficient laws, high-dimensional human race".

Anyway, people who watch this kind of movie are all rushing to the title of "hero". No one will entangle the feasibility of technology in it. There is no movie category "Science Fiction".

"Now the closest artificial intelligence to everyone is probably the AI ​​on the mobile phone, but strictly speaking, this thing is not even the fur of artificial intelligence."

"Ah."

Nodding her head, she echoed what Xia Tong's father said.

Many mobile phone manufacturers often use their own assistants as a selling point during their press conferences, but I haven't used them much anyway.

This kind of AI is far from being "intelligent" in my mind. The only function I can think of now may be voice dialing while driving. As for other things that require troublesome AI, I would rather search on the browser , Talking to the phone always feels stupid.

"Because there is no essential difference between the AI ​​of each company. To put it bluntly, it is "keyword search" and then packaged as a selling point. The practical scope is still too narrow. At least I have never used Xia's current AI. I don't really want to use it. To be honest, the automatic reply may not be reliable, but we must have it if others have it. This is also a helpless thing. "

"..."

I didn't dare to "hmm" in this sentence. Silence is my attitude.

I just pretended to understand it before, but if I understand this sentence again, something will happen. I will never pretend to be a wolf with a big tail in front of Xia Tong's father. As long as it involves professional vocabulary, I will keep silent.

"We often say that humans have seven orifices, but today's AI has only half a barrel of vision and hearing, which is far from enough. Now that the development of science and technology is limited, artificial intelligence is the theme of the future."

"Then what is this "Zero Plan"? "

To be honest, when I heard Xia Tong's father say these things, I naturally put him in the role of the villain in those sci-fi movies.

Especially those villain movies that focus on robots, like Xia Tong's father, that is a proper villain boss!

It's just that those villains are forced villains, and they all think that robots can replace humans, and no one has ever turned a highly intelligent robot into a tool for humans.

Because it is impossible for people with this idea to appear in the movie, the plot of Avengers II is almost the same. If Ultron is the same as Tony’s plan, what is the value of this movie?

Positive role family carnival?

Then why don't I go to the Spring Festival Gala?

"Xia's epoch-making AI project now has the world's top team, making every effort to realize the connection between cognitive intelligence and perceptual intelligence, combining human expert knowledge with technologies such as big data, machine learning, and deep learning to create an AI that can be recognized by humans. Humans understand, and can understand, human intelligent systems.”

With Xia Tong's father's finger pressing, a lot of professional terms and histograms began to appear on the right screen.

One of them is that the talents from all over the world cooperate with Xia Corporation to specialize in this difficult problem. The employment and cooperation not only exceed the number of Xia Corporation's own employees, but also exceed the investment of more than half of the country in this area.

One company against one country...

No wonder Xia Tong's father just said that big investment also brings big risks. This kind of scientific research project is the most expensive, and the money invested in it every year has to be tens of billions as a unit.

If there is no result in the end, it will be a real blood loss. No matter how rich the Xia family is, they will not be able to bear such a toss.

"Actually, it's fairly simple to do in terms of AI. To put it bluntly, it's the evolution of AI. Even if Xia doesn't do it, other companies are doing it now. Looking back decades later, there will definitely be leaps and bounds in development. But what I want to leave for Xiaotong is not only this, I want her to live freely by this for the rest of her life, which can be regarded as the realization of her dream when she set foot on the Internet..."

Xia Tong's father said and pressed the remote control again, and what appeared on the screen was the one I was used to in sci-fi movies.

"Since you've seen sci-fi movies, you should also know that 3D projections are normal in sci-fi movies."

"Ah."

The artificial intelligence is projected in front of the person in the form of a blue phantom, and even the operation interface can be projected, and then the protagonist operates in the air, which is actually a very normal operation in science fiction films.

If you really operate in front of the computer, it will make people feel that the movie is very low, and that the director is not willing to spend money on special effects.

There are some parts of "Iron Man" that actually fall into this category, and they look really cool.

I think everyone may want to have an artificial intelligence like Jarvis. If you have anything to say casually, the artificial intelligence can take care of it for you, and it is 100% loyal to its master. hide.

"But you have to know that in the current human technology, there is no equipment and no medium to want 3D projection anytime and anywhere. But now this is fantasy..."

"..."

If Xia Tong's father's words were heard by those movie fans, they would probably be blasted wildly. They would definitely say that he is a badass, looking for a sense of presence in the movie.

From the audience's point of view, there is no essential difference between science fiction and fantasy, as long as the screenwriter can do it without flaws, and now that 3D projection has become a standard feature of science fiction films, who would make sense like Xia Tong's father? ?

"An advanced AI that only exists in mobile phones or computers can't shock the world. The last time Jobs changed the world, whether it was the iPhone or when he took out the MacBook Pro from the envelope, I was there. So I It is very clear what kind of things ordinary people really want to see, take the current mobile phone as an example, the biggest upgrade every year is the camera, but do you really need it?"

"..."

Shaking my head, Xia Tong's father's words really spoke from my heart.

Every time a mobile phone manufacturer releases a new mobile phone, I want to complain. Sometimes a camera can take up half of the entire press conference.

Anyway, I really don’t want to spend the money on updating the phone every year on the lens, but now that the technology has reached a bottleneck and manufacturers have to make money, so I can only publicize the best upgraded lens, giving people a feeling that if you buy it, you will make money.

"So you can boldly imagine, if an advanced artificial intelligence can project any image, any voice, and any way into real life, what will the world be like?"

"..."

My head froze for a moment. I didn't know what Xia Tong's father wanted to do until now. Is it more than just ambition?

No wonder it is said that the world is going to start from scratch. If the things in science fiction movies are really brought into real life at a price that ordinary people can accept, the name Xia Shu will undoubtedly be enshrined in the world, just like Jobs back then.

What's more, foreign countries account for at least half of all the high-tech on the market. If a Chinese can do this, the consequences will be unimaginable. The domestic market will definitely explode. With the purchasing power of Chinese people, Xia's stock price will be reduced every minute. to become number one in the world.

"The one you saw just now is the initial image of "Zero Project" "Zero". Her voice is initially decided to be Yu... Destiny will be dubbed, and then the male image will be dubbed by Ghost. After that, we will gradually record it from all over the world. Stars, singers, voice actors, and finally even the voices of ordinary people can be recorded anytime and anywhere. "

"what?"

What Xia Tong's father said is the real fantasy!

Generally speaking, it is good for AI to have one or two decent voices, and now most of them are synthesized voices, so it may cost a lot of money just to buy the copyright of the voices.

But just imagine, if this technology can really become a reality, it will definitely be the greatest invention in history, bar none.

If there is a situation like Xia Tong in the future, then the death of a relative can be understood as another way of rebirth.

As for the others, I am afraid that the first thing to do is to set them as your favorite stars. Even Two-dimensional characters can appear in reality. I can't imagine what it will be like then.

"This is a very far away goal. This is what I want to leave for Xiaotong in my lifetime. Even if she doesn't take over the company in the future, it will be enough to make her carefree for the rest of her life..."

"Then... why are you telling me this?"

This is Xia Tong's father's goal. Even if there is a big explosion in technology now, and an era of progress is made in five years, it will take decades to complete it, and it has nothing to do with me.

"I said before that this is not a simple matter. It is possible that I will not be able to see this scene even if I am dead, so when I am alive, Xia Shi is the real support of Xiaotong. After that, I need someone to replace me. Make this dream come true..."

"I... me?"

He glanced at Xia Tong's father in disbelief, no matter how you listen to this sentence now, it should mean this, right?

"No! You don't have any potential to be my successor right now. I'd rather go bankrupt if I leave it to you!"

Do not live

Some people say that the most embarrassing thing in the world is going to the toilet at someone else's house and finding that the toilet is broken, but for me, the most embarrassing thing in the world is this.

Xia Tong's father said so much to me, I thought he was implying something to me, but this last sentence is really hurtful, the point is that I can't refute it yet.

Indeed, not only do I know nothing about "managing a business", but I have no interest in it.

Instead of handing over the Xia family to me, it is better to just sell the shares and leave. No matter how bad the family is, it is better than bankruptcy. At least the money from selling the shares is enough for Xia Tong to live comfortably for dozens of lives. It is just ruining Xia Tong's father for nothing After more than ten years of painstaking efforts, I am afraid that he will be mad at us to death.

"Ye Xi, I've seen your report card. Except for the rote memorization, you are barely average in other subjects. When you entered Yinghua, you stumbled..."

"Well, but I'm already learning...it's better than when I first started!"

Xia Tong's father seemed to look down on liberal arts, but there was nothing to refute.

After all, there are only a small number of boys who study literature in China. What's more, in the eyes of parents, once boys study literature, they will have no future, and the employment opportunities are too narrow. This is an irrefutable reality.

It's just that I really don't have the talent for learning. I don't like going out of the house, and I don't like playing games. When I was a child, I could hold a book and read it all day.

Like some child prodigies, when I was a child, I was able to do Mathematical Olympiad problems with ease, but I haven't even mastered the textbooks until now.
