Chapter 42 The trump card
"I have decided that I want to improve myself and learn knowledge and skills related to artificial intelligence!" On this day, Zhao Donghe came to Ji Hong and expressed this idea.

"I asked you before, don't you still think outsourcing is good? And with the open interface of artificial intelligence, we will not lack customers and business at all." Ji Hong smiled:
"And I see, you earn a lot a month. This month plus bonuses, it's more than 30,000, right? In Hezhou, a city with an average company of 3,000 to 4,000, you are already considered a high-income group. Last week, you also had a successful blind date. , isn’t now the time to be happy and forget about Shu?”

Zhao Donghe was indeed very satisfied originally, but without comparison there would be no harm.

Juaner Intelligent Technology is already very famous in the industry, especially in Hezhou. Especially with the vigorous publicity of Hezhou officials, everyone knows that this company's AI is very good, and it is even second to none in the country. exist.

Zhao Donghe had a blind date with a girl some time ago. When he heard that she was working at Juaner Intelligent Technology, with a monthly salary of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, he immediately showed great interest.

You may say that people worship money, but when it comes to blind dates, people have to be interested in something. She wants Zhao Donghe to have a high salary, and Zhao Donghe wants to have a good-looking family. This is understandable.

It doesn't matter where the relationship starts. As long as you stay true to your choice and don't act haphazardly, there will be no problem.

Let's talk about Juaner Intelligent Technology. It has already passed the stage of difficulty in recruiting people. Although the team is still expanding and recruiting more and more people, it still receives hundreds of resumes every day.

Even many people from Hezhou City and even Heyang Province who work in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are also entering the channels of Juaner Smart Technology.

In the past, Hezhou had almost no Internet industry and no real technology companies, so there were few job opportunities, and even if there were, the salary levels were very low.

But who wouldn’t want to stay closer to home when they really have the conditions?
But at this time, it is far less easy to get into Juaner Intelligence than it was at the beginning. Zhao Donghe is very proud to work at Juaner Intelligence.

But when people ask, what is your main job at Juer Intelligence? It’s not nice to talk about outsourcing!
Moreover, he was one of the first to experience the Whisper system plus personal work assistant. If this system is not popular, there is no justice.

The company is getting bigger and stronger, but he is standing still. Even though he is in charge of the entire outsourcing department and has a group of people under him, he is doing repetitive and boring work over and over again all day long. What's the point of making more money? ? There must be pursuit!
"Mr. Ji, I want to pursue something a little bit. I can make a lot of money by doing outsourcing, but my future is in sight. I feel like I'm still young and haven't reached retirement age yet."

Ji Hong nodded, knowing that Zhao Donghe was serious and had already thought about it, and he didn't say it in the name of a friend:
"At thirty, it is indeed not the time to retire, and the research prospects of artificial intelligence are indeed very bright, but have you decided which direction to choose?
"The research on artificial intelligence is too broad, and it is impossible for one person to master all the disciplines and technologies involved in his lifetime. He needs to choose a direction."

Zhao Donghe has also checked a lot of information these days and has a very clear understanding, but now he has some doubts, so he came to Ji Hong to communicate and see if he had any good suggestions.

"Well, Professor Zhang, the person in charge of the project of the Intelligent Computing Center of Hezhou University, has an idea. He wants to use the Intelligent Computing Center to combine the function of cultivating talents in universities to create an AI model that is in line with the higher education industry.

"I have some ideas recently. This AI model is based on [exploring students' strengths], based on the students' personalities, abilities, levels, interests, majors and research directions, and then formulating a characteristic training for each person that fits his or her own growth curve. plan] as the goal.

"How about you make an initial experimental specimen? After the model is released, I will first develop a unique training plan for you. What do you think?" Ji Hong asked.

"Of course, thank you, Brother Hong." Zhao Donghe looked excited.

Of course he knew that this was Ji Hong opening a back door for him to participate in the construction and model training of the Intelligent Computing Center of Hezhou University. He did not have the ability and level, but he entered in the name of "initial experimental subject", but he could observe on a first-come, first-served basis. and learning opportunities.

"Then I'll give you a vaccination in advance. Don't let your work fall behind. It's up to you whether you can hold it or not!"

Opportunities can be given, but whether you can seize and persist can only depend on Zhao Donghyuk himself. It is impossible to point out someone who has no conditions to help you, unless it is parents and family members.

Of course Zhao Donghe understood this, and he immediately promised: "If you are absent from work during the study period, I will treat it as a leave, and I will ensure that the normal progress of the project will not be delayed!"

"It doesn't have to be like this, you..."

"That's all. To have such an opportunity, you are already taking care of me. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't have such a good opportunity.

"The rest, even if we are brothers, we have to deal with business matters. What's more, I also have to put some pressure on myself, otherwise there will be a way out. If I give up halfway, I will be finished!"

"Okay, you can decide the details yourself." Zhao Donghe said so, and Ji Hong couldn't say anything else.

Thinking about it, the impact won't be huge. Even if the basic salary is deducted due to taking leave, as long as the work is done properly, the project bonus alone can be 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month. If you add a little pressure, just add a little pressure.

"There's another thing I want to ask you. What do you think Microsoft is doing now?"

Ji Hong stood up and leaned against the window. Zhao Donghe also followed. The two of them seemed to have suddenly changed their identities, just like they were in the tea room of Chuangjie Technology. Of course, now there is no need to observe whether someone will suddenly come over at the door. .

"Microsoft?" Zhao Donghe thought for a while: "Maybe it should be united with OpenAI, right? Microsoft holds 49% of the shares of OpenAI, so they are like a family.

“I’ve seen previous revelations about the next generation of Windows, and even if all expectations are realized, it’s still not on the same level as Whisper, it’s too far behind.

"Microsoft's little assistant Cortana has directly integrated ChatGPT and Sora. Now it is estimated that they will join forces to use OpenAI's artificial intelligence to develop the next generation of Windows. Only in this way can we have the opportunity to compete.

"But I'm thinking about whether we have a problem here," Zhao Donghe said worriedly: "There is a big weakness, a fatal blow..." Zhao Donghe stopped talking as he could think of all the problems. Can Ji Hong not think of it?

"What's the problem? Let's talk about it." Ji Hong also smiled.

"Is there something wrong with Wine?"

What Zhao Donghyuk takes into consideration is that Linux software is scarce, and most of Whisper’s current ecosystem is also Windows software installed with the help of Wine.

Of course the software itself belongs to the development company and has nothing to do with Microsoft.

However, the Windows-compatible API provided by Wine itself is not perfect. In many cases, the operation of the software depends on Microsoft's basic runtime library dll file.

Whisper is a system-level automation plug-in integrated into the system. The solution to the problem of Wine installation software comes from the public Internet. Some software must be involved in this problem.

Microsoft's attitude towards the existence of Wine was hands-off, but that was before, because Linux did not pose a real threat to them at all.

But now there are whispers…

According to Zhao Donghyuk, if this is really the case, it is really a huge problem.

After all, this thing was originally made just to relieve some work pressure for his wife Cheng Hui. It was true that he had never considered this issue.

But now that it has been publicly released, if you haven't considered it yet, then Ji Hong is no longer the thoughtful Ji Hong - there is no way Ji Hong would let such a thing happen.

"Do you think it's a big problem? What if I really did this?" Ji Hong asked with a smile, wanting to hear what Zhao Donghe had considered.

"Many distributions, including UnionTech's UOS, can also use Wine to install Windows software. Microsoft has not protested or sued. Even if there is a legal problem, it won't be a big one, right?" Zhao Donghe frowned.

Ji Hong shook his head: "If others use Wine, it is the user's choice to use it. If Microsoft wants to sue, it can only sue users one by one. This is definitely not worth the gain.

"And we provide an AI tool here, so is the behavior of the AI ​​considered user behavior or the behavior of the Juaner Intelligent Technology Company? This issue will be unclear until the relevant laws are improved.

“At present, there is no systematic law in the world regarding AI-related infringement cases. I believe that if Microsoft sues us in China, it will definitely not win.

"But if you want to sue us in Americen or Europe, it will definitely be done in one go. And we can't always focus on the country.

"In addition, there is another risk. Does Microsoft really want to sue our users one by one? Ordinary users are not mentioned, but only important customers are selected to sue?

"If we really do this, the risk is extremely high. It is not an exaggeration to say that we are digging our own grave!"

"You must have dealt with it, right?"

Zhao Donghyuk saw that Ji Hong was still smiling when he talked about "digging his own grave", so he knew that he must have a plan, and he had even made some arrangements and had a careful response.

"Remember the code AI we talked about before?" Ji Hong said with a smile.

"Programming languages ​​have specific syntax, and programs have specific logic and functions, so the training of code AI is the simplest."

Zhao Donghe suddenly realized and said in surprise: "You don't know how to use this code AI, have you already re-developed all the DLLs used?"

Zhao Donghe knew that the company had been hiding a trump card, which was code AI. The reason why it had not been released publicly was because it might involve the employment of more than 90% of program developers. He was worried that the impact would be too great. Once there were any consequences, the company would also Can't bear it.

But at this time, if Ji Hong used it himself and secretly re-developed all the Microsoft library dlls used by Wine to be compatible, then there would be no problem - after all, it is the software that is compatible, and the software itself is not a Microsoft product. .

Then this is an excellent trump card!
"Just wait and see, you will know then!"

Ji Hong smiled. He did have certain arrangements, including taking the opportunity to propose the next step of building a self-made software ecosystem plan.

After all, the current software does not integrate AI-related operating concepts, and there is no way to fully utilize the advanced nature of the Whisper system.

But the plan hasn’t started yet, and it’s not appropriate to say more:
"It's time to get off work. Let's go. Let's meet my sister-in-law and ask her if it's convenient. I'll also call Cheng Hui to check it for you!"
