Capital, Microsoft Research Asia, No. 5 Danling Street, Zhongguancun.
As one of Microsoft's only two advanced research centers in Asia, it has been a coveted unit for countless computer majors over the past two decades.
But in the past few years... with the emergence of JiZhi Technology, and the launch of the artificial intelligence Aita and the subsequent operating system Yinta, especially after the production capacity problem was solved, Microsoft Asia Research Institute became visibly deserted.
msra has also made a lot of changes in the past two years, such as revoking the previous decision to stop recruiting seven national defense talents, actively encouraging internal referrals, lowering the threshold, launching joint training, etc...
Of course we can recruit people, but there are not many truly smart people.
The smarter people are, the more they can see reality clearly.
In China, it is only a matter of time before Yinta fully replaces windows, ios, and android from desktop to mobile.
Of course, this does not mean that the Asian Research Institute has no qualifications to continue to exist - it is essentially the global use of intelligence.
As long as you are willing to spend money, it will continue to exist.
For example, now, it reflects its important value and significance.
Well, to be precise, it has its own value and significance together with the Engineering Academy next door.
…
In the laboratory of the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Research Group, several engineers from the Asian Research Institute and the Academy of Engineering are surrounding the Theta-3 robot that has been dismantled into parts.
If you look carefully, you can see parts of several Sita robots on the workbench next to it.
A man in his thirties stood beside the workbench. His name was Zhao Wenxi. He had joined the Academy of Engineering for nine years. He was a senior PM—senior project manager, level 64, and, well... his annual salary was one million.
In the past few years, he has been responsible for dismantling many Sita robots, and he has a clear understanding of the structure of Sita.
"If the sensors are removed, there is no structural difference between this type 3 and the previous two types. The reason why the mimic is more perfect is because it is directly connected to Aita, allowing Aita to calculate and feedback in real time, instead of like before. Mainly relying on the robot’s local computing center.”
"It means that an instant messaging module was sold for 200,000 more?"
"That's understandable." Zhao Wenxi looked at his colleague who was using a Yinlong laptop next to him: "Lao Gao, that's too much. Are you using the Aita system to crack it?"
This old man is a senior software and security engineer with the same level of 64 at the Asian Research Institute. He didn't even raise his head when he heard this: "Cooking beans will burn the bean basket."
This sentence caused low laughter from a group of little brothers around him.
But everyone was still very restrained.
After all, today's occasion is really not suitable for joking - they are the first people to try to crack the long-distance communication protocol.
Following Gao Xiaoming's operation, a moment later, Aita's voice sounded from Yin Long's notebook: "Sorry, insufficient decoding permissions."
Gao Xiaoming cursed: "Fake—Aita, report the authority level."
"Permission level requirement s1"
With Aita's words, everyone shut up at the same time.
Although Aita's authority division has not been officially disclosed, it has long been revealed... The authority level corresponding to s1 is the highest and most complete level.
"It's not without gain. At least we know that in Aita, long-distance communication is absolutely confidential. Unless we can hack into Aita, or kidnap those with the highest authority or Ye Ming..." Gao Xiaoming joked , threw the notebook aside and replaced it with his own notebook.
The assistant next to him also helped him change the interface.
Zhao Wenxi raised his watch and glanced at the time. He knew that even if it was connected to a supercomputer, it would probably take a long time, so he walked to the balcony, pulled up a chair, took out a cigarette and lit it.
Gradually, he frowned.
Of course they did numerous functional tests on the west tower before dismantling it.
For example, she can complete the work of threading needles and threads very accurately and quickly - it may not seem like a housework, but in fact, in today's society, what really requires superb "sewing" skills is not mending clothes, but the operating table.
For another example, her mimicry is infinitely close to that of a human being - if you put a silicone suit on her and put on clothes and shoes, you would not be able to tell whether she is a robot or a human from behind.
For example, her control of mechanical strength is also significantly better than previous models, thanks to timely correction and feedback of sensor data...
All this shows that Sita has reached the limit of what a robot can do.
And to reach this limit, everything is because of long-distance communication.
In the past few years, not only msra, but also other companies and robotics teams in various countries have been dismantling Sita and copying Sita - because in the past, Sita had a local system that could be imitated and cracked.
But now... Theta-3 robot no longer has a local control system.
Then...how to copy the village?
Zhao Wenxi even thought further - can Sita completely replace humans in the future and complete all human tasks?
For example, salespersons, waiters, cleaners, express delivery, stalls, assembly lines, driving...
In short, she can do any job that does not require heavy physical effort!
——Not to mention the Sita-3 model, even for the previous model, a hotel owner has already bought ten Sita robots as waiters for a gimmick. While earning enough attention, it can be regarded as officially opening up the field of humanoid robots. Social application.
It’s just... is this society ready for the era of intelligent robots?
Time passed slowly.
"Old Zhao, no."
When the door opened, Gao Xiaoming looked frustrated.
"Can't you crack the microcontroller?"
"It's not a matter of cracking, but the cross-dimensional information is one-to-one encrypted and stored on Aita."
Zhao Wenxi frowned slightly. At this time, his cell phone rang. After taking a look, he immediately exchanged a few words in English.
"Someone has arrived from the headquarters, and he is expected to stay there for a while - are you sure?"
"I can't do it even if I'm here." Gao Xiaoming snorted softly: "Jizhi Technology dares to release it for commercial use without applying for a patent. Do you really think that Ye Shen and Aita are vegetarians?"
"..."
After the words fell, the two people fell silent at the same time, and looked back at the same time with tacit understanding.
Zhao Wenxi popped out a cigarette, the two of them lit it and leaned against the fence.
"Jizhi Technology is cutting flesh with a blunt knife..." Gao Xiaoming sighed softly: "If we want to fully launch it, we should do it as soon as possible. We can change our profession as soon as possible, right?"
"Yeah." Zhao Wenxi nodded.
The two of them were able to become senior members of the Asian Institute of Technology in their thirties, so they naturally have good vision and judgment.
There is no doubt that ultra-distance communication will completely change the structure of the entire world's information industry.
But unfortunately, Jizhi Technology is taking its time and only launches it on large-scale products, not consumer electronics... What do you think this is if it's not a blunt knife?
"By the way, what are your plans?" Gao Xiaoming asked after flicking off the ashes of his cigarette.
"Take it one step at a time. As long as Microsoft returns the money, let's keep doing it."
"Yeah, that's right...and I heard that unemployment benefits will begin this year. I guess no one will starve to death even if they lose their jobs."
"That's not necessarily the case. What about those who have mortgages and car loans?"
"It is said that tax reform will be carried out this year. It is said that there will be a tax reduction and exemption according to the size of assets and the number of employees. Anyway, the country is now relying on Aita to promote digital RMB settlement, coupled with the integration of smart industry Hua… there is always a way to cure you.”
The two finished their cigarettes while chatting, and then returned to the laboratory.
A monk has to hit the clock every day. Although they believe that it is impossible to replicate long-distance communication from an engineering point of view, technical analysis always needs to be written.
…
Within half a month after Jizhi Technology unlocked the order, technology companies around the world sent people to the country one after another.
The reason is naturally very simple...
Because some countries have declared their rejection of Sita.
So what should those technology companies do if they want to do research immediately?
Of course, the only choice is to come to the country - otherwise, how about you smuggle two robots back? Not to mention the long journey, who will be slapped in the face then...
At the same time, the business department of Jizhi Technology has also crossed the threshold.
As far as the most basic functions are concerned, long-distance communication can solve communication problems in ocean, aviation and other fields.
You must know that satellite Internet access is not only expensive, but also incredibly slow. JiZhi Technology, a long-distance communication terminal directly connected to Aita, can open multiple terminal access rights - up to 10G bandwidth is enough for sea ships and aircraft Passengers on board enjoy the smoothest internet speeds.
Of course, Jizhi Technology does not mind cooperating with shipyards, aircraft manufacturers, etc. to introduce Aita into automatic control systems.
But that requires extra money.
As time passed, the last day of October soon came.
Musk announced in a high-profile tweet that Twitter has completed negotiations with relevant mainland departments and will enter the mainland market from now on.
