"Didn't you say you were studying in seclusion? Why did you wear your scarf secretly?"
"I didn't swipe the scarf secretly, you'll know if you take a quick look, hahahaha." Don Juan did not swipe the scarf secretly, he did it openly.
This news is related to the International Computer Vision Conference I attended a few weeks ago. The content is very outrageous, and of course it must be shared with the protagonist Meng Fanqi.
Especially the description content of the text is different and particularly interesting.
Meng Fanqi clicked it and took a look, oh! His face instantly turned red.
Last time I attended the International Computer Vision Conference, many people were very interested in several papers and work published by Meng Fanqi after the conference.
So they surrounded him. At this stage, some media personnel were let in, and they started taking pictures in front of the stage.
Some of the photos turned out quite well.
There is a sharp contrast between the young Chinese scholar at the center of the painting and the many elderly foreign academics around him.
In addition, Meng Fanqi himself can barely be called handsome. Putting him in such an academic occasion, his appearance must have gained a lot of points.
Meng Fanqi conducted several intense self-searches in the days after the meeting, but was disappointed to find that the reports were actually far less enthusiastic and popular than the venue felt.
With so many cameras snapping at him, Meng Fanqi thought he had really become a big star.
In fact, only a few media outlets published some reports, and the page placement was not particularly good.
Although the pictures are good, the text description is quite short and the popularity is not very high.
After reading this, Meng Fanqi felt that if a technology like artificial intelligence wants to break through the circle, it still needs to defeat Li Shishi or a revolutionary event like ChatGPT before it can really come to the forefront.
Otherwise, it’s just a matter of people in the circle or the industry enjoying themselves.
To a large extent, this incident directly led to Meng Fanqi's transition from academia to entrepreneurship.
There are already many open source technologies at the International Computer Vision Conference, and the quality is generally not low, but these ordinary people will not care.
Even Baidu's Wen Xinyiyan, everyone can associate it with Robin Li.
But who will remember the real author and algorithm proposer of T method and GPT?
As a result, Meng Fanqi changed his mind. In addition to breaking through the algorithm, he also wanted to start a business and create products as soon as possible, striving to quickly introduce a series of products to the public.
He completely forgot that there is another way to quickly gain popularity and traffic, and that is pure rumors!
To talk about the popularity of rumors, you have to look at self-media.
I don’t know who posted these pictures of the scarves on the Internet. Although the photos were taken well, the group of white-haired old men in the middle made Meng Fanqi look particularly young and promising, but the content of the scarves has nothing to do with the fact that it is P. ....
"Recently, at a mathematics exchange conference in the United States, young Chinese scholars made a blockbuster appearance, attracting many foreign scholars to praise and ask for advice."
"A strong young man will make a country strong! A mathematical problem that has not been solved by Western academic circles for decades was solved by him in one fell swoop!"
"Shocked! Chinese teenagers beat up many mathematics professors in the United States!"
"Why the hell are you going to find me a mathematics professor from there???" Meng Fanqi's eyes darkened after reading it, and he almost fainted.
It’s completely a classic self-media style, with a picture at the beginning and all the editing behind it.
According to the way they wrote it, it seemed that they wanted to directly award themselves a Nobel Prize in Mathematics that did not exist in Jin Dong's mouth.
Meng Fanqi looked at the photo carefully and found that the whiteboard and the projected slides at the back were full of formulas that looked like mathematics to a layman. How could he not understand that these unscrupulous media were talking about the pictures.
These push messages seem to be complimentary, but in fact they are very harmful to passers-by.
There are already such sounds under many scarves.
"Is the academic world going to be like a rice circle? Can we get the copywriting field right first?"
"There are three top-level computer science experts in this picture. Are you telling me that this is a mathematical problem?"
"We haven't seen each other for a few weeks, why did Mr. Meng go to do math? Why didn't I know? @fatball" This is Robin Li who is here to join in the fun.
After Meng Fanqi gave him the update a week ago, the government's road inspection requirements were exceeded.
We quickly negotiated pilot projects in several areas, and now is a good time.
When I had some free time to surf the Internet, I saw such interesting content. Robin Li did not explain it, but the account @Mengfanqi continued to gain popularity.
However, although Robin Li did not give a verbal explanation, the onlookers quickly smelled that something was wrong.
At this time, it was not long since the last press conference, and someone immediately posted several pictures of Meng Fanqi and Robin Li in the same frame at the press conference.
The onlookers took a look and thought, oh, isn't this the one surrounded by many white-haired old professors?
"What's going on? Can the rumors spread by the self-media be ignored?"
"If you want to replace the field of mathematics with artificial intelligence, these things that are made up by looking at pictures...don't tell me, they seem to be quite real."
"Actually, the most terrifying thing in the world is that what the media completely fabricates happens to be almost the same as the truth."
"Hahaha, the top student's scarf name is quite cute, Fat Ball."
What Meng Fanqi didn't know was that the popularity of self-media this time was actually far less popular than it is now.
After Baidu's publicity department noticed these fake news, it actually contributed a lot behind the scenes.
Let’s first heat up this completely irrelevant thing, and then cut in to reveal the truth.
Firstly, I have the buff of refuting rumors, and secondly, the melon-eating public is curious to explore this person’s experience, and will naturally pay attention to Baidu’s press conference and the two successful cooperation projects with the government.
The most brilliant advertising is not to push, but to arouse the curiosity of the audience and let them explore on their own.
This way you will remember it best.
But what they never expected was that this wave of covert publicity and hype would be picked up by Meng Fanqi, who was kept in the dark.
Meng Fanqi didn't think anything. He simply felt that for some reason the scarf paid so much attention to me today.
In this case, why don't I put up a recruitment advertisement?
"My artificial intelligence start-up company was established today. We are urgently recruiting several iOS and Android App development engineers. We are also in need of front-end and back-end accounting manpower. Please see the attached picture for details."
Meng Fanqi followed suit and directly posted the outline of his needs and benefits that he had planned earlier on his scarf.
This saves a lot of advertising fees. Originally, it was difficult for a small start-up company like this to recruit people. If it really had to go through conventional channels, the fees for various apps and headhunters would be quite large.
After Li Yanhong saw it, his heart tightened.
He had known for a long time that the cooperative relationship might not last long, but looking at Meng Fanqi's fear of trouble, he always thought that there would still be another year or two.
Unexpectedly, I used my own momentum to start advertising.
This made him a little dumbfounded.
Suddenly, I remembered that Wang Kai seemed to have applied for resignation, and the handover was in process years ago, and this month has already begun.
"Could this kid have been persuaded by Wang Kai?"
Li Yanhong guessed like this for no reason, and he accidentally guessed the truth.
