For Robert Stephens, Joeze’s strength lies in his understanding of mathematics. To be more specific, the understanding of partial differential equations and differential geometry has almost reached a state of perfection.
He didn't even know how to describe it in words, how incredible it was because Qiao Ze was only eighteen years old.
No matter how humble a mathematician may appear to be, he is still proud in his heart.
Specifically for Robert, he is far more proud than Daniel and Lot Dugan.
This is probably why he doesn’t like to use public social software.
But at this moment, Qiao Ze really shocked him.
But what makes him regretful is why Qiao Ze is an Oriental?
Yes, Robert doesn't like Asians, or he doesn't like all other races except Westerners.
Of course he would never say such words.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to call Daniel first.
"Ha, I knew you were going to call me, Robert. Am I right? That's a magical boy. His paper has the power to turn bad things into something magical!"
"Okay, what I want to know is whether your solicitation is effective? Has this Joe agreed to go to Princeton?"
"No, I haven't officially sent out the invitation. The bad news is that Lott failed. But I can understand it. I guess it will be difficult for him to come here."
Robert could hear the pessimism in Daniel's tone, and couldn't help but wonder: "Oh? Why? Doesn't he even pay attention to Princeton?"
"No, no, no, it's not because of this. You've been reading papers all day, right? So you must not know the big news yet. Huaxia registered an account named Doudou on a social software similar to our Twitter. This account is managed by artificial intelligence. I can send you some videos and you can probably understand how powerful their artificial intelligence technology is."
"What do you mean? Artificial intelligence? We don't seem to be talking about this." Robert said with a slight frown.
Robert doesn't like artificial intelligence technology. Regardless of which country invented it, including chatgpt, Robert has also clearly expressed his opposition.
Because he really feels that if artificial intelligence technology really develops, humans will be enslaved by machines created by themselves in the future.
Of course, this kind of slavery may not take the form of a robot rebellion, a war between humans and robots, and ultimately failure, as in the movie. But there can be many ways of slavery, such as mental control.
In fact, it is already taking shape now.
Tik Tok is using their smart computing to trap countless people in information cocoons.
Think about it, in just a few decades, human spiritual life has become inseparable from the Internet. When artificial intelligence really develops, they can monopolize all information flows on the Internet, and even intelligently generate video technology to consciously create news.
On that day, everything people hear and see is no longer controlled by free will, but by artificial intelligence. Machines can completely control people's spiritual world through the Internet and become the real managers of the human world without losing any blood.
And poor humans are even enslaved without knowing it.
Just like those fetuses in The Matrix, they can only live in a world full of lies and deceit, slowly losing all creativity until civilization is destroyed.
"Yeah, we didn't talk about artificial intelligence, but what if the artificial intelligence I'm talking about happened to be developed by the kid we mentioned? Didn't you read Joe's previous paper? About using group theory for causal decoupling That article?
All I can say is that this kid is a genius. He came up with a theory and then, in a very short time, turned the framework he built from theory into reality. You'll know just by looking at it, so I said it's hard for Joe to come. He chose to release this achievement at this time, which can be said to represent an attitude in itself. "
At this point, Daniel paused and sighed: "Yes, if he really wants to come to Princeton, he will definitely choose to come here and then release his results. But he chose to publish his paper after I sent an invitation on Facebook. It was released on the day it was released. Others thought this was a direct conversation with Apple, but I knew very well that he was just rejecting it in order to make both parties respectable."
Robert was silent, and then said: "Let me take a look at the artificial intelligence you are talking about first."
"Okay, I'll send you the video on Instagram."
"Um!"
…
After hanging up the phone, Robert soon received several videos from Daniel on his computer.
After clicking on it, you can see messages with square characters, but it is very considerate and there is an English translation next to it.
Almost all are in the form of questions and answers, and there are many pictures mixed in.
Robert could see that from the perspective of a large language model, this artificial intelligence was very successful and even more humane than chatgpt4.0. Its word choice and sentence making were infinitely closer to humans, and it even had a unique sense of humor. Sensitive human beings.
The language is not heavy, and there is no long explanation. It makes people feel like a lively, cheerful, sunny and even a little bit naughty child.
This made Robert feel shocked and even more vigilant.
In fact, Robert Stephen has not read Joze's series of papers on the foundations of artificial intelligence.
Even when Qiao Ze's original paper watermarking technology aroused the interest of half of the world's mathematicians, Robert only heard about it and did not participate in it.
But at this moment, he felt the need to read Qiao Ze's paper.
After all, when you encounter a terrible enemy, the first thing to do is to understand him.
"How is it? Are you shocked?"
Soon, Daniel sent a message.
"Of course! A terrible mathematical genius."
"horrible?"
"Don't you understand? Daniel, the best friend and the most terrible enemy are the same."
"..."
Robert looked at the screen quietly, thinking.
"Okay, I almost forgot what kind of person you are. But I have to say that what you said makes sense. But we are just doing research. From a purely research perspective, there is no need to be so wary. .”
"You are wrong, Daniel. Can you really accept that in the future, if your students want to publish an influential paper, they will submit it to a journal written in Chinese? In the future, our children will need to learn the latest theoretical framework accurately. Those complicated square characters, do you know how much time will be wasted that could be directly used for research?"
"This is a bit alarmist."
"No, this is by no means alarmist. You can't feel it now, but what about ten or twenty years from now? Why did he reject you? Do you think it's because Princeton is not good enough and has no appeal to him?"
After waiting for a few minutes, Daniel did not reply, so Robert closed the software. After all, these guys' thoughts were too simple.
Then Robert picked up Qiao Ze's paper again.
Although he didn't like Qiao Ze, he had to admit that if this child was really only eighteen years old, then he was really the most terrifying genius in the past hundred years.
…
It’s not the same reaction as the math community.
When the news of Doudou's emergence spread to the Western world, the real hit was a group of technology companies closely related to people's lives.
Doudou’s comment section on China Weibo has already exploded. Even celebrities with hundreds of millions of fans have never had a single Weibo comment exceed one million, but Doudou broke this record in just one day.
Even Weibo’s servers began to come under pressure.
Even though netizens’ enthusiasm for artificial intelligence has been fully overestimated, this achievement is still unimaginable.
For a while, even Doudou's replies to netizens began to lag.
Let’s just say the news spread too fast.
Although it was already past the off-duty time, the technical teams working on language models of large companies were already sitting in the conference room, and the senior executives in charge of technology were staring at the screenshots on the screen in a daze.
I thought that the group intelligence system launched by Youwei was already a hit.
But who would have thought that just two months later, China would launch a more advanced AI language large model technology.
What is even more incomprehensible is that the other party still released it in this way.
To be honest, it seems very unprofessional.
But it is hanging up chatgpt.
What laymen see is the excitement, but what insiders see is the technical concepts and ideas contained in it.
At this time, in the conference room of the Open AI headquarters, the picture stopped on the big screen was a meaningless conversation between Doudou and a netizen.
"You think you are smart? You still despise others. In my opinion, you are just a pig."
"Oh? Do you want to be my cabbage? I'm sorry, I am a dignified Doudou, so I won't humiliate those messy cabbages. ()"
There are many similar conversations. Although they have been translated into English, a translator who is familiar with Chinese culture was invited to the conference room to explain to these technical executives some of the content involved in Doudou language. They only read in English. Translate what cannot be understood.
"The reason Doudou replied is because there is a saying in China that good cabbage is eaten by pigs. So it means that the other party is not good cabbage."
"Okay! Durit, thank you very much for your help. You can leave now. I hope you can wait in the lounge outside. Maybe I will need your help later."
After the specially invited translator explained the meaning of these two lines of dialogue, Philip Hex picked up the remote control and politely asked the translator to leave first.
When the door to the conference room was closed again, Philip, as the chief technology officer, looked around at the engineers under his command, and then said: "Okay, let's talk about it, everyone. What do you think?"
I have been studying these various contents transmitted from China for half an hour.

He had just been thinking about the call Tim Cook made to him today.
Misstep!
Obviously, the old cunning man was not innocent, and he must have gotten the relevant news earlier than they did.
This made him feel a little hot.
At present, he still doesn’t know how the Chinese people incorporated modules capable of mathematical proof into the large language model, so that Doudou can not only solve mathematical problems, but also handle complex natural language conversations.
At least for current open ai, these are still two different training mechanisms. It's simply impossible to force it into a program.
But even if you put these aside, just from the large language model, this guy named Doudou is more powerful than chatgpt.
Specifically reflected in the understanding and application of language, Doudou is obviously more flexible.
"This Doudou from the Chinese people can perfectly deal with all kinds of meaningless problems. I don't know how they train it. I can only say that it is amazing. I don't know if you have noticed that this product just now has the same effect on the same type of problems." A meaningless question, with many different answers, each using various rhetorical techniques...
This is very flexible for language use. This also shows that the algorithm they use is indeed more advanced in this area. Obviously, this is an algorithm that cannot be trained for a long time. At present, we do not have background data, so we do not know the specific computing power consumption. But at one point, I feel that everything we are doing may be meaningless. "
A female engineer to the left of Philip Hex spoke first.
Phillip frowned and glanced at Nicole who spoke.
Although it doesn't sound good, it seems to be the case. At least in terms of language models, they failed.
However, this was obviously not what he wanted to hear.
Because this meeting is about solving problems, not just complaining.
In February this year, when Microsoft invested US$10 billion in the company, the company's valuation had reached 29 billion. After six months of development, the company's valuation has reached 90 billion.
This cooperation with Apple was expected to make the company's valuation exceed 100 billion. It has firmly established itself as the third most valuable startup company in the world, but obviously the emergence of Doudou has turned this idea into an ambition.
This can be seen in today's stock market trends.
Microsoft and Apple followed a nearly identical curve, opening high and then going low.
Apple, in particular, experienced a real black hour in the afternoon, falling from a daily high of $168.23 to a closing price of $122.36.
There is no doubt that this is an extremely terrifying number.
The declines of these two giants were also directly passed on to the entire technology sector.
The strong rise of Youwei and the emergence of Doudou made sensitive Wall Street become pessimistic.
This is not how it should be.
The pressure was transmitted to them, the technicians, almost at the speed of light.
This is a terrible thing.
If China's technology really shows a crushing advantage, it will bring about a series of reactions.
The one with the greatest impact is naturally chatgpt, which is currently recognized as the most successful large language model.
Companies that are just starting out can also choose to use the latest algorithms and design their own large language model architecture from scratch. For example, Apple, Google... But if they give up their current architecture, it means that everything they have done in the past ten years will be in vain.
Everyone is almost back on the same starting line.
The capital world is ruthless. When chatgpt loses its technological leadership barriers and profitability drops significantly, investors will give up on them without hesitation.
This is sad because they have no choice but to lead.
Admitting failure means short-lived glory.
"Nicole, maybe you are right, but you should know that our meeting is to solve problems. Everyone, cheer up, we should see that maybe the other party does have some advantages, but we also have advantages, right?" Philip Said in a deep voice.
Philip Hex's words finally made the originally depressed atmosphere in the conference room become more lively.
"Yes, Nicole, I think Philip is right. I think there is a reason why the Chinese only released this technology on a social software. I think their technology does not have multi-modal processing capabilities. This should be our biggest advantage right now. This is something that requires more time to accumulate."
"Yes, analyzing, understanding and giving reasonable suggestions for complex pictures is our biggest advantage at present. This Doudou has not demonstrated the ability in this area. The other party is exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses. I have read Qiao's paper, Causality The introduction of AI indeed makes the algorithm they designed more advanced in understanding natural language.
But that's all. I believe that Doudou does not have the ability to extract structured data and indicate model analysis. Moreover, it is impossible for them to conduct complex reasoning chain model testing in such a short period of time. This is our advantage. "
"I agree with George. I also think the reason why the Chinese launched such an alternative test is most likely because they are not confident in passing the safe deployment test. We should amplify this advantage."
…
Philip Hex listened carefully to the discussion.
Well, at least the team cohesion hasn't completely dissipated yet.
Many of the suggestions are also very pertinent.
When it comes to dealing with investors, you can delve into professional fields. Such as accurately identifying professional medical images and giving rational suggestions, strengthening the application of computer vision...
These functions are already in testing. Although they have not yet reached the stage where they can actually be launched into applications, they are where their technology leads.
The other party has obviously not started research in this area yet.
What they need to do now is to let the big guys on Wall Street know that big language models are not just about processing complex natural languages, but also involve a series of applications around computer hearing, vision, etc.
The budding Chinese technology is bound to lag behind in this aspect.
He hopes so, and according to common sense, it should be so.
"Okay, I understand everyone's opinions. Next, I will give suggestions to the board of directors and focus on the development of multi-modal functions. It is likely to become our next key development direction. Everyone should be prepared. It's best. Everyone can provide a plan, and it will be submitted to me the day after tomorrow at the latest, do you understand?"
Everyone nodded.
"In addition, I also suggest that everyone think carefully about whether more advanced algorithms can be integrated into our products! Okay, that's it for today." Philip Hex ended the meeting.
…
"I think the company should start thinking about Tim Cook's successor. The market environment and external factors facing the company now are very different from those ten years ago. Apple no longer needs to be conservative, but now needs to innovate. era.
There is no doubt that Tim is an excellent CEO, but his strengths only lie in marketing, operations and management. He only has no ability to innovate. I am not questioning his market influence and supply chain management capabilities, but it is also an indisputable fact that Apple's product development has become increasingly weak. "
"Oh, Davis, I always thought you were a die-hard supporter of Cook. Is your friendship gone? Really, I didn't expect you to call me specifically to talk about this."
"No, I have never been a supporter of anyone. I am a supporter of the company and profits. All my decisions are based on reality. Facts have also proved that I was right. Cook took over Apple has indeed made amazing achievements since then, but it is also true that he is no longer able to lead Apple to continue to develop."
"I'm glad you think so. If you express your opinion on this matter at the board meeting next week, I will agree. At least we have reached an agreement on this point."
"Okay, bye then."
"goodbye!"
After hanging up the phone, Davis Skarner glanced at the expressionless Tim Cook sitting opposite and said, "Okay, Tim, this is the last thing I can do for you. At least you're not a deserter."
"Thank you, Davis." Tim Cook nodded.
"Now let's talk about business. Are you not optimistic about Apple's future?" Davis asked seriously.
"No, as you said, I'm just not suitable for Apple anymore."
Tim Cook shook his head slightly and said seriously: "I don't know how to describe this feeling..."
After a pause, Tim Cook continued: It can only be said that innovation is never a concept, but an adventure one after another. You know, I'm not adventurous, never have been! What I like is the feeling of being in control. But now Apple must embark on an adventure. "
After the words fell, Davis also fell into deep thought.
He agrees with what Tim Cook said, but it is easy for this guy to leave, but it is difficult to find someone who can replace him.
Not to mention future adventures, the chaos that may result from a sudden change of leadership of a company with a market value of 2 trillion yuan.
Alas, what a troubled time!
…
At the same time, meetings of many technology companies have also ended.
Of course, these technical people would never have imagined that putting Doudou on Weibo was not a test at all.
That was just an excuse for Yu Hongwei.
It’s not even about covering up so-called technical flaws.
It was nothing more than a little girl who felt that the timing of Apple's announcement of cooperation with Open AI was not right, which made her feel bad.
So she suddenly thought of throwing her little toy on Weibo to steal the limelight of these two technology companies.
Just as a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon can set off a huge tornado in the Americas, it is reasonable that a little Chinese girl's little thoughts can cause a major earthquake in the global technology community.
Of course, Su Mucheng probably never imagined that her petty temper could make the president and CEO of the largest high-tech company in the universe want to quit. It even made a group of technology executives from technology companies start to think about the issue of technology transition.
