549 The Prologue of an Era

There is a book called Little People in Big Times.

In fact, when the wheel of history rolls over an era, everyone is a small person.

This is similar to the fact that compared to the vast universe, the character in Niu is just a speck of dust.

But history is written by little people.

The history of intelligent creatures is complicated. Even people who specialize in history will always have a lot of confusion, and they can't figure out why the characters who left their names in history made various choices at that time that would be unbelievable to future generations.

This is probably a manifestation of intelligence.

The nature of human nature is actually similar to that of capital: greedy, profit-seeking and instinctively resistant to risks.

But the admirable thing about human nature is that there are always some people who can abandon the selfish elements of human nature because of their ideals or pursuits or beliefs. Although such people may not necessarily end well, and many times

They may also do bad things with good intentions, but they can make the history of human civilization more complicated and interesting.

Why did the philosopher Hegel believe that the only lesson humans can learn from history is that humans never learn lessons from history?

Just because countless little people involved in history will always make the same stupid or noble choices driven by their human nature, history will always be repeated in different forms.

Those scientists whose human nature is relatively simple and whose lives are driven by the curiosity of the unknown have promoted the development of the entire civilization.

This is not the case now.

Sundar Pichai's intentions are simple.

He still has too many ambitions that have not been realized. If he is kicked out like this, he may not be able to truly find peace in the rest of his life, so he has to fight for a future for himself.

Of course, if you look at it from a higher level, Sundar must think that his next move is also a better choice for Google and Google's parent company Alphabet. If another person comes to power, it will only make things that are already out of control

The situation is getting worse, and may even sink the giant aircraft carrier Google.

Yes, from Sundar Pichai's perspective, he thinks he is doing the best thing for Google, but it just happens to be good for him.

As for the consequences of doing so, he has already forgotten them.

There can be no worst consequences than him being ousted at this critical moment, really!



Of course Wang Yufei will not focus on this kind of thing.

How to find the greatest profit point from complex relationships has always been something Lu Yuxin likes to think about.

Trust professionals in everything.

He is professional when it comes to doing research.

Lu Yuxin is more professional when it comes to pondering people's hearts.

The biggest advantage of opening a mom-and-pop shop is that both parties are good at different things. No matter how you do it, you won't suffer any loss.

However, Lu Yuxin had a rest today, and Wang Yufei did not regard this matter as very important, so he did not directly call Lu Yuxin to discuss it, but continued to concentrate on his business.

The books of history will probably start from today, silently recording in a hidden corner the path of surrender of a once proud and arrogant high-tech company.

What is even more gratifying is that the first batch of finished quantum core products were successfully prepared from the laboratory today.

A truly customized product.

The first batch totals ten pieces.

Wang Yufei ordered two matching rings for himself and Lu Yuxin, Old John ordered a pair of spectacle frames, and Brother Cao ordered a large earring in a unique way, and asked his girlfriend to help him get an ear piercing.

Regarding this choice, Wang Yufei's evaluation is that poor Senior Brother Cao was probably forced to choose to be a good baby at the age when he should be most rebellious, so he decided to choose to be brave and rebellious at the age when he was about to mature.

But earrings are just earrings. Anyway, the microphone technology in the laboratory is very advanced, and Brother Cao has short hair and already has a tendency to lose his hair, so he doesn't have to worry about blocking the tiny camera.

Most of the other people's choices were quite satisfactory.

It’s nothing more than some easy-to-carry jewelry, frames, rings, bracelets, and brooches.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Yufei specially prepared a health bracelet with a quantum core for Guo Xiaoyi. This is the only non-staff member of the laboratory who is the first to have this special product that can directly communicate with Xiaozhi.

Of course, after this batch of products is released, there is still one step that Wang Yufei must do personally, which is to program in different permissions according to the different owners of this batch of products. Only Wang Yufei has the permission to do this.

The first batch of candidates who are qualified to communicate directly with Xiaozhi are naturally very excited.

This is an honor. If a biography is written specifically for quantum computers in the future, these people will be written into the history books.

The permissions are set quickly. Although they look different, they all have a unified interface with Xiaozhi.

It is said to be an interface, but it is actually a quantum communication protocol standard and channel signal. Through this standard and channel, all products equipped with this quantum core can be extended to become part of Xiaozhi's body.

In other words, everyone carrying these external devices can be called Xiaozhi’s mobile information library.

Of course, looking in reverse, they can also use Xiaozhi's powerful computing power and storage capabilities to serve themselves anytime and anywhere.

For example, when Wang Yufei and Lu Yuxin were dating at this time, they suddenly wanted to play Fibonacci Sequence Solitaire. The party who couldn't pick up the game could directly ask Xiaozhi to cheat. Of course, when both of them are bored enough,

Probably because I can match the sequence of numbers forever.

But that's not all.

The design also includes the latest 3nm process brain-computer chip, which is also a brain-computer chip specially designed for Xiaozhi.

This is an attempt.

Although the finished quantum core also includes data input and output devices such as miniature cameras, microphones, external speakers, etc., there is no doubt that it is easiest for Xiaozhi to obtain data through a brain-computer chip, allowing him to obtain cognitive abilities close to human intelligence.

.

In other words, people's eyes and ears become one of its standard input devices, and it can even allow Xiaozhi to experience human taste.

But this is just an attempt.

Soon the permissions for ten types of devices have been set.

What should be done next is the most important work of the entire process, which is to activate Xiaozhi's deep neural network learning ability and voice communication ability.

But at this moment, Wang Yufei's hands stopped on the keyboard, he picked up the phone and made a call.

"Hey, Yu Xin, where are you and Xiaoyi playing? Oh, come to the company! Okay, I'll wait for you."

"Professor John, maybe we can really witness history in half an hour. Are you interested? I'll wait for you in the operation room! If he wants to come, let's come together."

"Senior Brother Cao, put aside what you are doing first and come back to the operation room in half an hour."



Yes, this is the moment to truly witness history. Previously, using Xiaozhi to calculate Mersenne prime numbers and do prime number decomposition was nothing to Wang Yufei. It was just a basic operation of a quantum computer.

The reason why Xiaozhi was given such a name is because it is an artificial intelligence program that hopes to subvert the world.

Yes, the term artificial intelligence has been overused since it was proposed.

Smartphones, smart tablets, smart speakers...

Its essence is a pile of code, coupled with a huge database, and when interacting, the huge database is used to match the user's questions.

Of course, I have to say that Google has actually been ahead of the world in this regard. Its voice assistant can interact with human language to the point where it can be fake and real, but that's all.

At present, the most advanced artificial intelligence programs in the world are still the few intelligent software running on the Xin system controlled by Yuxin Technology, including National Idol, Entertainment Translator, and National Programming, and even early co-productions, from the official definition

All belong to artificial intelligence software.

But if Wang Yufei were to look at it, they would all be classified as artificially retarded.

As long as the problem is that these softwares do not have the ability to learn and upgrade themselves, the so-called intelligence still relies entirely on databases and high-quality search algorithms. But where is the intelligence?

Machines need to have real autonomous learning capabilities and evolve and update themselves in order to better serve humans. That is called intelligence.

It sounds sad, but in fact, Google is still at the forefront of the world in this regard. The emergence of AlphaGo is actually very amazing. This is no longer a simple valuation function, programmers just built a framework for it.

, only gave it the most basic Go rules, without inputting any human experience, and then trained it with tens of millions of calculated chess games, giving it a human-like sense of chess.

Its bottom layer is a deep neural learning network.

But this is still a quantitative change, not a qualitative change.

First of all, this kind of training is very limited and not fully growth-oriented.

For example, its self-evolution is only within the framework of Go. Once it involves its own upgrade, manual intervention is required.

But if Xiaozhi follows Wang Yufei's design, it will have the function of self-update and upgrade, and can even develop emotional cognition.

This is the artificial intelligence in Wang Yufei’s eyes.

Maybe it's not perfect now, but it can evolve itself, and that's the most important thing.



Soon, half an hour later, the people notified by Wang Yufei, who were also the first people to get the quantum core, came to Xiaozhi's control room one after another.

This is probably the last time I will use this operation room.

Because after accessing the quantum core, Xiaozhi will no longer need this traditional input method. In theory, the ring worn by Wang Yufei has all the control rights of Xiaozhi and can perform any operation anytime, anywhere.

By the time Lu Yuxin and Guo Xiaoyi walked into the operation room, everyone had arrived and it was finally time to start.

Although Guo Xiaoyi didn't quite understand what kind of special day today was, when she walked into this small room, she could feel the joy and excitement in everyone, so she was very honest today.

In the end what happened?
