Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Wang Xin was led by himself throughout the whole process. To be honest, Meng Qian felt that the conversation was quite relaxed. After Wang Xin, Meng Qian met Zuckerberg, the legendary genius.

Zuckerberg's summary is just the opposite of Wang Xin's. It is very short, adding up to no more than 500 words, and almost all of them are questions.

"The Internet is obliterating the dignity of ordinary people. What you said is very interesting. Can you explain it?" Meng Qian found an entry point to communicate with Zuckerberg.

"I was born in an ordinary town, so I know that it is easy to gain respect in a small area. Maybe you are just good at singing, maybe you are just good at writing, maybe you just know a little bit of programming, but the Internet It expands everyone's horizons and makes a little ability meaningless.

The person who sang the best around him suddenly appeared mediocre on the Internet, and the carpenter who used to think of home decoration suddenly had a lot of better choices through the Internet. "

Meng Qian was not sure whether Zuckerberg really thought so or was deliberately "finding faults", and simply followed his words, "So you think that the development of the Internet will benefit those who are particularly outstanding, but for ordinary people For them, the development of the Internet has made them even more mediocre and even less worth mentioning.”

Zuckerberg spread his hands, "Maybe the only good thing is that it gives mediocre people some cheap entertainment, such as games."

"But what you said can only be regarded as an appearance. How does excellence come about? Except for a few exceptional talents, most of the excellence is obtained through hard work. From this perspective, is the Internet Give the effort a better reward platform?"

"No." Zuckerberg shook his head and denied, "Mediocre people are mediocre because they don't want to work too hard, and in fact most people don't want to work too hard.

It’s true that the Internet rewards people who work especially hard, and that’s a benefit, but what about people who work a little harder, people who work a little harder, and especially the majority who don’t really want to work hard?

Laziness is indeed not a good habit. Laziness is indeed something that should be reprimanded, but there are many wrong things in this world. This is the reality. Laziness is like this. He is what most people will be. No matter how we tell everyone to work hard, Most people are just lazy, so what?

We hope to eliminate laziness, but I am afraid that what we will eliminate in the future is not laziness, but lazy people. There is still a difference. If the Internet is allowed to develop like this, I guess the Internet in the future will become a very hostile place, which is the backlash of laziness to the Internet. "

At first, Meng Qian was more inclined to think that Zuckerberg was "finding faults", but after listening to his understanding, he felt that this was actually a very interesting idea, "Do you have any good suggestions for this phenomenon?"

"I don't know either." Zuckerberg spread his hands in response.

"What if we can enable people with different abilities to find corresponding value returns through the Internet?"

"Huh?" Zuckerberg expressed curiosity.

"For example, gradually build professional platforms in various fields to rate professionalism, and people with different abilities can get corresponding remuneration, and the Internet is more of a matching function."

Zuckerberg tried to understand Meng Qian's thoughts, "Is this the instrumentalization of the Internet?"

Meng Qian thought for a while and shook his head, "I think a more accurate term should be Internet thinking. If you want to give this model a name, maybe it can be called Internet+."

The expression of Zuckerberg, who was a little lazy in front of Meng Qian, began to change. Zuckerberg is a person who likes to accept new ideas, and especially likes to collide with interesting people.

Seeing the changes in Zuckerberg, Meng Qian asked further, "Since we talked about the topic of eliminating laziness, I saw that you raised a very interesting question, will artificial intelligence destroy human beings?"

Because Zuckerberg created Facebook, more people naturally equate him with social networking. They may not know that Zuckerberg was a hacker before creating Facebook, and he was also an artificial intelligence obsessed person.

The music software he developed in high school was paid special attention by Microsoft because it used artificial intelligence to learn users’ listening habits. The mysterious laboratory exposed by Facebook in 2014 was finally confirmed to be an artificial intelligence laboratory. Later, Zuckerberg Ge simply stated in 2015 that the key project of Facebook in the next ten years will be artificial intelligence. Meng Qian further confirmed that the reason why Zuckerberg is very interested in artificial intelligence is that the research group he chose at Dafeng Group this time is Artificial intelligence project.

"I have re-examined the deep learning algorithm of Dafeng Group in the past few days, which reminds me that my teacher asked me such a question when I was in high school, if we let the development of artificial intelligence, will it be destroyed like in the movie? Humanity?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't know, so I asked the question."

Regardless of what Zuckerberg was thinking, Meng Qian answered his question, "If you want my answer, my personal opinion is that it is almost impossible."

"Why are you so sure? I heard that anti-artificial intelligence organizations are emerging in Europe in recent years."

"You Americans should be clear about how idle Europeans are. The main gathering place of supporters of the flat earth theory is in Europe, the main gathering place of extreme environmental protection organizations is also in Europe, and the main gathering place of artificial intelligence destruction theory is also in Europe. In our Chinese language, Europeans just eat too much." Meng Qian joked, "All our current artificial intelligence research directions use algorithms to simulate the operation mode of the human brain, and the essence of algorithms is rules.

So as long as we don’t change the foundation of artificial intelligence, the artificial intelligence created by humans can only deal with regular things forever. What changes is nothing more than the speed of data processing, the accuracy of data processing, and the breadth of data processing. In the face of irregular events, artificial intelligence is very powerless.

Of course, I know that there is a saying that it is also an algorithm that controls the behavior of the human brain. Human beings are just a product created by God. Everything in the whole world is regular. We think that the irregular things are just that we can’t do it at our level. Seeing the law, it is like many stock speculators have been looking for the Holy Grail. They always firmly believe that the stock market is not an uncontrollable market, but a market with rules to be found.

This is also the reason why I don't say it to death. I don't deny that maybe the essence of the world is really like this, but there is a logic here. Human beings, as a product in the hands of God, can't see through the world in our own brains. , can we create a God Algorithm? I think it's almost impossible.

So in my opinion, artificial intelligence will not destroy human beings, but artificial intelligence will change human beings. "

"Do you mean that artificial intelligence will replace a large number of human jobs in the future?" Zuckerberg guessed what Meng Qian meant.

However, Meng Qian shook his head again, "That's not accurate. The three industrial revolutions in history have caused a lot of unemployment, but after a period of time, each industrial revolution has produced better tools. The essence of technology is tools. The same is true for artificial intelligence. There is no need to myth it or fear it. It will be an important tool in the process of human development in the future.

Just like everyone uses computers to handle work now, everyone will use artificial intelligence to handle work in the future. A wave of unemployment is inevitable. This is the inevitable pain that comes with every technological revolution. In the long run, unemployment will not last long. But it is true that some people will become victims of the revolution, and the losses may be large or small. At the same time, some people will definitely become the beneficiaries of the revolution. No one can predict it, but it is like the rise and fall of a dynasty and the change of times. Who can stop it? Can you live? "

Zuckerberg caught the point of Meng Qian's words, "Do you think artificial intelligence will be the next industrial revolution?"

"Maybe."

"I'm a little curious, what does the future era of artificial intelligence look like in your mind?"

"The future?" Meng Qian pretended to be daydreaming, "It should be very interesting."

Next, Meng Qian began to describe the future to Zuckerberg, including smart healthcare, smart office, smart industry, smart education, smart assistants, big data mining, virtual reality, driverless cars, and the Internet of Things.

Zuckerberg was taken aback for a while.

And Meng Qian has an absolute advantage when talking about these things, that is, as a reborn person, he is firm in the future world picture. Excellent speakers will be very confident and firm when speaking, and inner self-recognition can become a powerful individual Charm can affect the audience, just like Zuckerberg at the moment, I feel that Meng Qian has a firmness that he has never seen in other entrepreneurs when he is talking about the future.

He has met several big bosses and entrepreneurs, and they can brag, but when other people brag, he can see some clues, but he can't see any flaws in Meng Qian at this time. When Meng Qian talked about the future era that Dafeng Group wanted to create, Zuckerberg felt as if Meng Qian had visited the future in person.

This strong and determined emotion is stirring the ambitions of the young Zuckerberg, especially the future described by Meng Qian is more advanced than 2019. From the perspective of 2004, what an interesting future this is. What an exciting future it is.

After bluffing Zuckerberg, Meng Qian pretended to ask casually, "I see that it is written in your profile that Microsoft spent an annual salary of 950,000 yuan to poach you. What does Microsoft want you to do?"

"product development."

"What product?"

"Entertainment product."

"Entertainment products?" Meng Qian smiled playfully, "The Dafeng Group has no shortage of people who make entertainment products, but I have seen your ability in the field of artificial intelligence. I can't give you an annual salary of 950,000 meters. You have an interesting future, do you want to come and play?"

Zuckerberg started to move around, but this was completely out of his expectation. He came to Dafeng Group this time out of pure curiosity. With his ability, even if he didn’t start a business after graduation, he could just find a company in Silicon Valley with an annual salary of one million. He never thought about going to work in a Huaxia company, even before meeting Meng Qian, he still hadn't thought about it.

But at the moment, he is inexplicably excited. Internet +, the age of intelligence, these things in Meng Qian's mind made Zuckerberg feel more interesting than ever before.

Moreover, Zuckerberg always felt that Meng Qian had some hole cards, but he couldn't see through it.

"What's wrong with me." Zuckerberg thought to himself, trying to calm himself down first, "It seems that I heard that someone gave up a million annual salary to start a business with a Chinese man named Ma Yun. Could it be that the Chinese people really Can you play tricks?"
