The debate between the CNN commentator and Meng Fanqi, the inventor of generative technology, which has attracted national attention and has a certain degree of attention around the world, ended somewhat absurdly.
CNN fell into the trap set by Meng Fanqi from the very beginning. Since then, it has been beaten everywhere due to poor information.
Decisive technological innovation completely destroyed CNN's starting point.
The biggest argument is easily defeated by the other party's new technology. The other party is fully capable of dealing with the current crisis.
Somehow, his own home broadcast has become the opponent's advertising stage.
There was more than one advert, which was outrageous.
In the end, CNN had no choice but to abruptly cut off the live broadcast, citing an equipment failure, and that was the end of it.
It can be said that his ugly appearance has been exposed.
"Is this operation going to kill several birds with one stone?" Meng Fanqi looked at his full schedule for the past two days and felt happy.
He never thought that things would go so smoothly. This time, CNN won the name, and the advertisement was real.
The popularity of AI camera apps has skyrocketed, and it has successfully landed on the other side of the ocean.
In addition, the implementation of face recognition algorithms, which Meng Fanqi is more concerned about, has also made rapid progress.
Among them, the two biggest projects - government and mobile payment. After this incident, it can be said that the road is smooth and could not be smoother.
At this point, Meng Fanqi has basically finished what he can do for Vision Vision at this stage.
The core business is the leading facial recognition capability. Just productizing this technology and taking advantage of the advantages that Meng Fanqi has gained during this period will be enough for these people.
When they heard that their boss wanted to divert their main energy away, the employees at Vision Vision were in disbelief at first and felt like the sky was falling.
Meng Fanqi was so angry that he laughed and cursed, "I've done all the work, why do I recruit you?"
That's right.
The core technology boss himself has become a world leader. The biggest account boss directly attracted customers like the government and Ali, and even the advertising boss personally went global.
This hand is full of good cards, not to mention professional managers, even Meng Fanqi and his grandmother can play it.
If we can get away with this situation again, we might as well commit suicide as soon as possible.
Halfway through mid-January 2014, before taking off to Baodao, Meng Fanqi had a full schedule for two full days.
It was used to entertain customers headed by Ma Yun and Liang Fafa. This was considered his last effort.
The trivial matters in the future are not very relevant to technology. Firstly, they are not what Meng Fanqi is good at, and secondly, they are not what Meng Fanqi wants to do, so he is not prepared to interfere too much.
It has been almost a year since I was reborn, and the main route is actually quite clear, which is to follow the visual algorithm route I am most familiar with and realize it first.
The main reason for being so active in making money is to have the capital to develop Chinese data infrastructure, expand the platform and develop algorithms, become a chess player like other giants instead of pawns, and make up for the disadvantages of the large Chinese language model, rather than making money for the sake of making money. .
If it was just for money and wealth and freedom as the standard, he, Meng Fanqi, would have retired long ago.
Just the huge amount of money collected from Google and scattered randomly among several well-known skyrocketing areas would already be more money than could be spent in a few lifetimes.
With such a rare opportunity, he is more interested in participating in it personally, working with the smartest brains in mankind, and even leading large-scale historical changes in artificial intelligence.
After all, he was also curious about the stories and inside stories behind these amazing results.
As for making money, it is just a by-product of technology.
When Ma Yun comes tomorrow, Meng Fanqi will be the first to say that famous saying in front of him: "I'm not interested in money!"
While Meng Fanqi was meeting with these customers, at this point in January 2014, the wheel of history was rolling forward, and Google had made another big move in artificial intelligence.
That is the direct acquisition of a small company in the field of artificial intelligence, DeepMind, for US$400 million.
This artificial intelligence company founded in 2010 may be very familiar to many people just by hearing its name, but they can’t think of the specific reason for a while.
However, if we talk about a very iconic event in the history of artificial intelligence, AlphaGo Go AI, everyone must be aware of it.
In 2016, he defeated the legendary Korean Go player Lee Sedol four to one. Only the "God's Hand" in the fourth game found a glimmer of hope in an impossible situation.
A few months later, the power was upgraded again. Ke Jie, a once-in-a-century Chinese Go genius, managed to make perfect moves until the middle of the game. However, he was unable to maintain his peak computing power. He failed to win even one game from the enhanced Alpha Go AI. Win in hand.
It can be said that Alpha Go AI has completely changed the entire Go world, bringing this ancient chess game with a history of thousands of years to a whole new realm.
Ke Jie later recalled that he even called Go God, saying that it could defeat everything.
This company is very similar to the later world-famous OpenAI, both of which are small teams.
The company has a small number of people, specializing in two or three directions and focusing on polishing.
If you don't sing, it will be a blockbuster.
DeepMind's Go Alpha Dog series and Alpha Fold protein series are both revolutionary achievements out of the circle.
Not to mention OpenAI, ChatGPT can be said to be the most disruptive artificial intelligence product in history and the most accessible to individual users.
However, when OpenAI has not yet been founded, Ilya, the chief technology officer of OpenAI, is still at Google Brain.
Google's acquisition of DeepMind can be said to be a historic alliance of powerful forces to a certain extent.
DeepMind is a bit special. Its main leaders, including CEO Demis, are all loyal fans of board games.
Demis was once a chess genius, and Dr. Huang Shijie, who replaced the Alpha Go AI to play against Lee Sedol, was a good amateur Go player.
At their core, they hope to develop an artificial intelligence software that can complete self-learning when faced with any problem.
Demis believes this could help solve some of the world's toughest problems.
“Artificial intelligence has the potential to shock humanity,” he said. “It can speed up the treatment of diseases and speed up all kinds of things that are currently slow to progress.”
Perhaps in the Go AI era, although people are shocked by the wisdom and power of artificial intelligence, it is difficult to think of a more practical significance. After all, Go is just a chess game.
Even the peak difficulty level of board games can't change anything.
But soon, Alpha Fold’s breakthrough in protein made the world completely re-recognize this ability.
Google’s acquisition of DeepMind was promoted by founder Page.
"This is really one of the most amazing technologies I have seen in a long time." Page is full of confidence in DeepMind's prospects. "If you need any resources, you can mention it to me or the person in charge of the relevant department."
"What we need most is huge computing resources." Demis replied instinctively. In his opinion, the team's staffing is actually basically complete. The main shortcoming is that the hardware equipment of small workshops cannot keep up.
"Also, we hope to talk to Meng Fanqi from the Google Brain team." Demis thought about it again and added such a requirement.
