Reborn: Billionaire in College

Although there is the Pacific Ocean between China and the United States, in the Internet age, technology itself has no borders.

As Asia's richest man, a technology expert and owner of several super unicorn companies, Chen Pingjiang is also well-known in the top circles of Americans.

Especially after the bull-bear battle and the dispute between Orange and Apple on Wall Street, more and more people know Chen Pingjiang.

This time, the Pangu AI conference was over-promoted and people on the other side of the sea paid attention to it.

In addition to these business celebrities, many university professors and heads of financial groups are also paying attention to this press conference.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chen Pingjiang slowly walked onto the stage.

As the finale, the momentum brought by Chen Pingjiang's coming to power naturally far exceeded that of Lin Bin and Wang Tao.

Lin Bin is more like a commentator, without a strong personal style.

Wang Tao seems to be okay at the moment, but not many people know him.

Seeing old faces on stage.

Not only did the barrage of comments refresh the screen faster, but the entire stadium was filled with cheers.

Chen Pingjiang, holding a microphone, smiled and pressed his right hand in the air. After the noise gradually died down, he spoke in his magnetic voice.

“Once again, we welcome everyone to come to the event or watch the live broadcast to support our press conference.”

The subtitles of the live broadcast are simultaneously translated into multiple languages ​​and displayed on the screen.

"As everyone knows, the discussion about AI has become increasingly hot recently. Because of me, many people hope that I can explain more about this topic."

"Changing the world is a kind of technological revolution. So what can be called a technological revolution? The core is to improve social production efficiency. First, let's review history: the Industrial Revolution in 1860 replaced manual labor with mechanized mass production, greatly reducing the cost of manual labor; after 1950, the information technology revolution emerged, which greatly reduced computing costs and changed the way information is disseminated and distributed."

"Each round of technological revolution is accompanied by a substantial increase in productivity and the generation of huge wealth. Today, the emergence of AI big models has finally turned the originally simple mechanical machine into an all-round generalist. That is, the big model can generate highly usable content according to human preferences and value orientations, and is constantly approaching the level of humans. With the increase in parameter scale, computing power, and parameter quantity, the capabilities of big models continue to improve, covering multiple aspects such as industry applications, product services, model tools, and infrastructure. AI has begun to gradually penetrate into multiple industries such as finance, medical care, automobiles, manufacturing, and retail, and has really begun to intervene in all aspects of people's production and life."

“So what impact can AI bring to us?”

After taking office, Chen Pingjiang did not delay and went straight to the point.

These simple words seemed to have magic power from Chen Pingjiang's mouth. People who didn't understand them were still confused, but smart people had already seen the future changes in the world and the opportunities from them.

Huang Renxun and Huawei's He Tingbo sensitively heard the word "computing power", and many concepts immediately emerged in their minds.

"Today, let me introduce the first product of AI that changes our lives - Pangu AI." After saying that, Chen Pingjiang half turned around and looked at the big screen.

I saw a dialog box popped up on the big screen.

Everyone's attention was focused here, but unfortunately, what was a bit unfriendly was that the language in the dialog box was actually Chinese, which made many technology giants anxious.

Chen Pingjiang said: "Pangu AI Big Model is a language model that can efficiently read papers, search web pages, write articles, and organize information. It can actively search the Internet based on the user's questions, and attach relevant links to the source for users to view and verify by themselves. When retrieving data, it will also search domestic and foreign websites at the same time, and then give results based on the model. Pangu AI has strong summarization and data integration capabilities, supports uploading documents, and automatically identifies and extracts key information from documents. In addition to documents, you can also give a URL and let it read the content in the URL."

After hearing this, the three of them's faces turned green.

They are Larry Page, Robin Li and Zhou Hongyi.

All three of them own search engines.

Li Yanhong, who was watching the live broadcast, loosened his tie at the collar in annoyance, his face gloomy: "You just finished with me a while ago, and now you are coming at me with a knife again, you are trying to kill me."

We are all in the technical field, and we can hear a lot from Chen Pingjiang's few short sentences.

With traditional search engines, users need to search for the information and content they want on their own.

The content searched out may be useful or useless, which leads to differences in efficiency.

But now Pangu AI directly integrates the search results and presents them to the searcher, which undoubtedly greatly improves work efficiency.

Baidu's internal technicians shook their heads and said, "That's easy to say, but the technical content here is very high. It's like solving an equation. If you get stuck, you're stuck."

Chen Pingjiang's voice continued: "This is the world's first AI voice assistant. It covers a variety of technologies, such as data collection and cleaning to ensure data diversity and accuracy. It has designed the world's first attention-based neural network architecture, which is specifically used to handle sequence-to-sequence tasks such as machine translation, text generation, and question-answering systems. The model is trained using self-supervised learning. Let the computer learn from a large number of examples, such as hiding part of the content and then predicting it, or transforming the data to find patterns in the data."

At this time, Chen Pingjiang laughed.

He shouted into the microphone: "Xiaoju, who is Chen Pingjiang?"

As the words fell, characters continued to be input on the big screen.

"Chen Pingjiang, born on August 1988, 8, from Tongcheng, XXXXXXX."

At almost flying speed, Xiaoju grabbed Chen Pingjiang's personal information from the Internet.

Chen Pingjiang then asked a few more questions.

For example, “How to make a mobile phone” and “How to make a bomb”.

Xiaoju can quickly grab the best answer.

"Xiaoju, I have a fever. Please write me a note asking for leave."

Those who know the business are already holding their breath, and everyone knows that this is the real stuff.

Although we have some skills by grabbing some information from the Internet, it cannot be considered as complete AI.

But when it comes to leave notes, there is a bit of creativity involved. The more complex the writing, the more AI it represents.

“Dear [superior/teacher]:”

"Hello!"

"I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused to you due to personal health reasons. I am writing this to ask for leave. Recently, I caught a cold and had a fever. My temperature has remained high and I feel unwell. The doctor recommends that I rest and receive necessary treatment to avoid worsening of the disease and affecting recovery and possible cross-infection."

"In view of this situation, I need to take a leave of absence for [specific number of days], from [leave start date] to [leave end date], in order to get enough rest and cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan to ensure that I can recover as soon as possible and return to normal work/study."

"During this period, I will keep communication open to handle urgent matters or hand over work/study tasks to ensure that the normal operation of the team/class is not affected. At the same time, I will also use this time to properly learn/understand the progress of work to reduce any inconvenience caused by sick leave."

"I once again sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and sincerely thank you for your understanding and support. I look forward to a speedy recovery and a return in fuller form. Please approve my leave application, thank you!"

Everyone who was watching the live broadcast was stunned.

Some comments started to use swear words.

"Shit, is this true? Is this AI?"

“It’s much better than Baidu, which has lots of ads and useless answers. It takes a long time to find the information I want, but Pangu AI can give me the results directly.”

"This is such a cool way to write a leave request. It's not a big deal to write it, but the key is that it's so thorough and detailed. It's at least much better than what I wrote."

"Let me make a wild guess. Could you also draft contracts or write other paperwork?"

"..."

Although it is only 2013, it is not difficult for Pangu AI to achieve this level.

First, the R&D teams of Jiuzhou Automobile and Orange Technology were both working on smart voice mailboxes. Then, with the addition of algorithm engineers from Renren, R&D sales soared.

The core of Pangu AI is put into a speaker shell and it becomes the Xiaoju speaker.

According to Chen Pingjiang's estimation, Pangu AI probably already has the capability of CHATGDP2.5 and is moving infinitely towards 3.

In this era, this strength is already terrifying.

After all, Dark Side of the Moon launched KIMI in just half a year. In comparison, Pangu AI is still conservative.

However, due to the limitations of R&D time and computing power, the current Pangu AI is still far from perfect.

There is no problem searching the web and organizing information, but reading papers or writing articles, especially writing novels, is much worse.

There is still a need for further development in summarizing and integrating data, and the system is unable to support uploading documents, automatically identifying and extracting key information from documents.

Chen Pingjiang did not intend to hide this key information, but said: "As the capabilities of AI big models continue to expand, AI can help us generate documents and charts, help improve plans, help developers write code, etc., and efficiently produce meeting minutes, report PPTs, data analysis reports, business development mind maps, illustrations, posters and other work results."

“We are fully capable of automating workflows in sales, customer service, R&D, operations and other positions, reducing costs and increasing efficiency for the company.”

“To put it in a somewhat alarmist way, in the future it won’t be AI that will eliminate you, but other people who can use AI.”

"In the near future, Pangu AI will be even smarter. It will become a teacher with comprehensive and extensive knowledge to answer our questions. With big model tools, knowledge no longer has boundaries, and it becomes easier to acquire knowledge. Big models can also be our assistants and productivity tools to improve our efficiency."

This last sentence is the most eye-opening.

After listening to Chen Pingjiang's description, many people seemed to have seen the future.

The barrage was filled with comments.

“It sounds awesome, but it seems to be just like that.”

"Haha, saying that only proves that you are an outsider. There is no doubt that this is a groundbreaking product. With continuous iterations, it will change the way we live and work."

"I agree with the above comments. Most people may not need this, but as a student, a researcher, or an office worker, I feel that it has greatly improved our efficiency."

"I don't have to think too hard when writing PTT reports anymore."

Musk, who was watching the live broadcast, stared at Chen Pingjiang with eyes that were almost glowing.

To be honest, he felt that he was already very awesome, but there seemed to be still a big gap compared to Chen Pingjiang.

Executives from Apple, Google, and Amazon all felt the crisis at the same time.

From their perspective, although the AI ​​language model is still somewhat immature, it is indeed changing the world.

As the software and hardware are further optimized, its capabilities will obviously be further enhanced.

After watching the live broadcast, an American congressman silently wrote down the English name of Orange Technology on a piece of paper and then silently put an X on it.

Many domestic leaders were impressed and felt fortunate that this company was Chinese.

After reading it, the university leader suddenly thought about whether to add a new related major in the second half of the year.

After watching the live broadcast, Alibaba and Baidu felt an overwhelming sense of crisis and wanted to hold a meeting immediately after watching the live broadcast and start copying others' homework.

"Don't worry, this is just a small surprise. Next, let's talk about smart home." At this time, Chen Pingjiang said with a smile. (End of this chapter)
