Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

Observing Mia, reflecting on himself, and most importantly, asking and answering questions in the Hall of Thought, Zhou Rui no longer hesitated.

He agreed with Marcus's suggestion and would expand the number of users of "Compound No. 2" among the scientific researchers and engineers within the group.

But the candidates must be screened and determined by him personally.

The first to be excluded are the external personnel who are "stranded" for personal reasons, including Qiu Lixun, Ma Weiming, Zhang Xianpeng, etc.

It's not because Zhou Rui is reluctant, but it's better to start from within the company.

The number of people will not be too large for the first time. Zhou Rui has drawn up a list of ten people and is ready to talk to them in person. "Voluntary" will be the most important consideration. Of course, even if they are all willing, Zhou Rui will not plan to exceed three people in the first batch, and the rest will have to wait in line.

Similar to the "Overlord Plan", even if Master Zhou Rui has said that Compound No. 2 is very safe, the recipient will still get an unlimited health guarantee. Basically, the company will provide protection for any disease in this life.

Of course, another condition for accepting "Compound No. 2" is lifetime employment.

There are still many details that need to be negotiated, including whether to report, how to be legally constrained, whether the system is fully transparent, etc., but as they chatted, Zhou Rui felt that Marcus was about to collapse.

Marcus passively walked in the mist under the Hall of Thought, and the side effects were no less than when Zhou Rui entered the Master's time in the early days. He relied on willpower to hold on.

Zhou Rui even saw this guy secretly pinching his thigh.

After all, he is old, even if he receives life-extending treatment, he is not indestructible. Don't let the old man go to the hospital.

So Zhou Rui said, "You go back and have a rest first, and we'll talk about other issues next time."

Marcus felt relieved, and his thighs were almost purple.

Before leaving, Zhou Rui said loudly, "By the way, the 'brain wave magnetic field' experimental device I mentioned may have some additional effects."

Marcus: "What do you mean?"

"It will increase the speed of thinking in a short period of time, of course, in the subconscious. You may have more inspiration in your mind after a good rest, or of course there may be nothing but a reminder."

Marcus was silent for a while. He knew very well what inspiration meant to scientific researchers, and said at the first time, "Then will I have the opportunity to experience this state in the future?"

Zhou Rui nodded, "There will be a chance, but now, take a good rest first."

Marcus nodded, hunched his back, and walked into the elevator.

After Marcus left, Zhou Rui pressed the call button on the desk again, and asked the secretariat to call Andre, Song Jin, and Su Xiangbei.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Gan Yuan led the three out of the elevator, and the sound of the small high heels was particularly pleasant.

Zhou Rui's eyes lit up. Gan Yuan should have just returned from an outing and took on the job of secretary.

Among them, Song Jin and Su Xiangbei entered Zhou Rui's office for the first time. They were extremely curious, but they didn't dare to look around. They looked very nervous.

Zhou Rui asked the three to sit down, and he also walked out of the desk and sat on the sofa, saying: "I called you here to talk about the 'natural language big model'. After I came back this morning, I had some ideas."

Gan Yuan came with a few cups of tea, and the three of them quickly took it with their butts sticking out. Even the more dull Andre was very respectful.

The CEO of the group poured tea personally. They can brag about this for a month.

After Gan Yuan put the boss's tea cup away, she naturally sat next to Zhou Rui, opened the small notebook, and took notes for the boss.

She knew that the three were doing the "big model", but she didn't know what happened in the morning, but it didn't affect her providing some minutes to the boss.

Zhou Rui thought for a moment and said, "Kaiming Intelligence will set up a separate project department to be responsible for the development of the 'big model'. When the time is right, we can also consider setting up a separate company. The three of you will be temporarily assigned to the new project department."

"Two directions, one is to optimize the structure and increase the training of the big model. How much computing power is needed and what hardware support is required. Report it in the name of the new project department and I will personally review it."

"The other is about using 'mechanical intelligence' to carry 'artificial intelligence' and then train 'artificial intelligence'. I will not stop it. At least it is worth trying, a small-scale attempt."

"Which of the two routes is more suitable and more efficient, you need to judge for yourself."

Song Jin said with some surprise: "Then can we make 'bionic people'?"

He is a hardware engineer himself. If it weren't for "Vodka" accidentally joining Andre's spontaneous project, it would not be particularly suitable.

But if it cooperates with mechanical intelligence, he feels that his mind is opened up and he has a place to use his skills.

Gan Yuan was a little surprised what she missed all morning?

Isn't it the "big model of artificial intelligence"? How come we are fast forwarding to the "bionic man"?

Zhou Rui said calmly: "'Bionic man' is not such an easy thing. Whether it can be made and to what extent it can be 'imitated' depends on you. By the way, the company has designs for 'humanoid intelligent devices'. Although they only exist on paper, you can apply for reference through the secretariat."

Song Jin was stunned: "Did the company originally have plans for humanoid devices?"

Zhou Rui shook his head: "No, I just made it myself in the early days. It was just an attempt and it was not perfect."

When he was at the "Military UAV Research Institute", he designed it on a whim, but he did not actually make a prototype.

As "Master Zhou Rui" said, at that time I wanted to try any technology, I dared to try it, and I had strong curiosity.

But in the end, I still couldn't pass my own level, because no matter how you think about it, there is no "problem that must be solved by a humanoid device". All functional requirements emphasize the use of "humanoid equipment", which is purely complicating simple problems, so I can't Let it go.

But now, if the purpose is to "interact like humans", then at least there is something in the structure that Song Jin and the others can refer to.

Zhou Rui looked at Gan Yuan and said half of what he said to her: "I will not interfere too much in the new project department, but all plans, progress, and budgets must be placed on my desk while you are conducting technology research and development. When doing so, the ethical and social impacts must be considered, and every step must be considered. I may stop at any time.”

All three of them nodded heavily.

There is excitement. After all, an attempt out of interest has received the support and affirmation of the big boss.

But tension soon emerged. Can they do such a big thing?

Neither Andre, nor Song Jin, nor Su Xiangbei can be considered a high-level executive. Even if Andre has the highest mathematical talent among humans, his ability to manage projects may not be better than that of a small company executive.

These are three big guys who blow vodka after get off work and start working on technology.

Giving him such a big responsibility is tantamount to asking Benbo Erba to get rid of Tathagata Buddha.

But this is actually Zhou Rui's intention. The big model should be based on technology, and the team should be fundamentally pure.

Zhou Rui saw the heaviness of the three of them and said: "It's okay to go slower on the right path. The new project department can't be just the three of you. We will fill the manpower appropriately according to your plan. Mr. Gan, please pay more attention. Help me."

Gan Yuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, boss, I will personally pay attention to the affairs of the new project department. By the way, does this project department have a name? Or is it called 'Large Model'?"

Zhou Rui had already made a decision, so he said directly: "Let's call it 'Baize Model', if this name has not been used before."

"Understood, I will implement it and complete the relevant registration and trademark."

Finally, Zhou Rui added: "Next month's China Science and Technology Expo, no matter how far you have completed it, the group will make news at the expo to test the market's reaction and be mentally prepared."

The three of them were even more stressed.

Hey, let’s not talk anymore, let’s go back and get a bottle of vodka to relieve the pressure.

After sending away another group of people, Zhou Rui let out a sigh of relief.

In this case, there is also a matter of "learning machine"

Let’s also show it at the expo.

It's the right time. Isn't it very reasonable for a global event like this to be held by a country with all its strength and to see hundreds of millions of technologies that are beyond common sense?

Take the first step first, and then find the foothold for the second step. If everything is out of control, the second step may hang in the balance, or even take a step back.

So scared! Do it first

By the way, we still need to communicate with the organization. The "Baize Model" is not important. It is a purely commercial behavior, but Compound No. 2 is different from a learning machine.

So Zhou Rui said to Gan Yuan: "Help me make an appointment with the organization for a special call."

"Which department?"

"Well, the work information is not right either. Why don't you ask the person from the 'Tobacco Factory' if he has time?"

He couldn't tell for the moment which department should be in charge, or maybe he actually needed to take a breather and report, so he might as well get it right in one step.

"I'll go ask."

Gan Yuan nodded, got up and went to deal with it, not forgetting to take away three cups of tea when she left.

In fact, Andre and the others didn't take a sip. They were almost full just by swallowing nervously.

Zhou Rui stood up, stretched, walked to the desk, and put the small shower head back into his cuffs.

In just one day, so many decisions were made, and each one was important, that it was somewhat too tight.

But what's wrong with being tighter?

He will soon take root in Wanhu Base again, and the launch of the "Lingxiao Platform" is about to begin.

Make these moves first, and then wait for the good news.
