- Citi is the country most enthusiastic about smartphone research. It is no coincidence that many government-affiliated agencies and large companies are engaged in this research. IBM only attracts attention because it is a veteran powerhouse in the IT industry. In fact, it is not the strongest company in the AI ??field.
After the "dreamer" of the brain went crazy unexpectedly, not to mention the financial losses, IBM was strong and could still withstand it, but there was something wrong with the researchers.
The original smart phone project team has been working on this dreamer for many years. For scientific researchers, it has been successful and is about to be recorded in history, but suddenly fell from heaven. This huge psychological gap made many scientists in the team lose their spirits. question. IBM corporate headquarters had to disband this group and then redeploy capable personnel to form a new research group.
Although there was a problem with IBM's demonstration, the possibility of success of artificial neural network computers has been raised to the highest level, which has made the competition among relevant researchers extremely fierce.
IBM headquarters is immersed in sadness. If it had not wanted to compete for the first place, after two more years of testing, all problems would have been solved. Now that it is starting again, there is no way to compete.
Just when the managers were complaining about themselves, the scientists and engineers who were transferred to the new research group left one after another for various reasons. They would rather pay huge early termination compensation to leave, very quickly.
The treatment of IBM researchers itself is very good, which is the fundamental reason why this company has always maintained the top level in the industry. These researchers who desperately squeezed in back then waved away without any hesitation this time, either returning to their countries or switching to other companies. Before the human resources director of the headquarters could react, more than half of the researchers with expertise in artificial intelligence in various laboratories had already dispersed, and the rest were still applying for resignation.
The angry new president of IBM launched a lawsuit unprecedented in the history of the technology industry, but it still could not restore the progress disadvantage in future research.
This matter made a big fuss in May. After being busy at work, Li Zhuang often checked the progress online and thought: "This is the consequence of being the first. If you succeed, others will poach you; if you fail, , others want to dig more, because it is easier to dig this way."
The media relies on gossip and inquired about relevant news carefully. Li Zhuang found the information he needed effortlessly.
Among the people who left IBM this time, some were poached by competitors, and most of them returned to their respective countries. Citi is a country of immigrants with a good scientific research atmosphere. Many talents from other countries are doing research in Citi. China has received a large number of people who have returned from studying abroad this time. Senior officials who have become very wealthy but are unwilling to spend on scientific research claimed in a well-known official newspaper that they would invest a huge amount of 300 billion Chinese yuan, equivalent to about 50 billion U.S. dollars. Conduct research on smart machines.
This is a hornet's nest. If someone takes the lead in playing cards, there will be others who dare to take the initiative. Japan immediately claimed to invest 100 billion US dollars. The reconstruction work of the major earthquake and the aftermath of the nuclear leakage are still going on, and the government funds are relatively tight. However, the Japanese people have strong cohesion. Many wealthy people and big families have expressed their willingness to bear the costs for the government, and the people have shown the same momentum as they did in the past to build ships. They actively donated money and received donations equivalent to nearly 200 billion U.S. dollars.
Therefore, the government has taken the lead in asking various companies to deploy capable personnel to form a large-scale joint artificial intelligence laboratory. All fund management is transparent, and it is regularly announced in newspapers to let citizens who donate know the purpose. Although there are still some petty tricks, everyone is watching. Those politicians who usually like to put up memorials and the conglomerate forces who let others struggle for their own enjoyment do not dare to play any big tricks this time, not to mention everyone knows that this is a matter related to the future and destiny of the nation. They are all working hard; even an heir to the Sumitomo Foundation gave up the business administration degree he was studying to devote himself to computer research, which he was very good at.
This is the first government-led and specially established smartphone research institution. It was first established in early February this year.
The Japanese have always been fanatical, and Li Zhuang knows this. Although there have been reports in China that the spirit of the new generation of Japanese is much worse than that of the old people, Li Zhuang is still very sober. He knows that there will be no fundamental changes under the influence of the general environment. You can understand this by looking at the technological research and development progress of Japanese companies.
The Japanese are very stubborn and sometimes shameless, but this cannot change the prosperity of the country brought about by their persistence, diligence and passion for technology. It is easy to defeat Japan, but it is impossible to achieve it in the short term unless the entire domestic atmosphere is reformed.
Other countries have also invested heavily in research. The Citizen government originally planned to take the lead, but was rejected by major companies. They were strong enough and unwilling to share with others. Every system has flaws, and Citigroup is no exception. Perfection is just an ideal.
The huge investment has brought about a shortage of talents. There are many talented people, but few are proficient in both software and hardware. Li Zhuang is not the only smart person in the worldOne, many scientists realized from IBM's failure that teamwork that was proficient in both software and hardware was the most important, and they reported to their superiors one after another. The government attaches great importance to this aspect and has become the current consensus.
The shortage of talents cannot be solved at the moment. In desperation, various research institutions have no choice but to try their best to select talents with strong understanding skills who are suitable for forming teams.
Wesson Technology was forcibly poached in April. It was a last resort when the Beijing Artificial Intelligence Laboratory found that it could not find better talents, although it was easily taken advantage of.
The weather in May is a bit hot, and it is said to be due to the greenhouse effect. No matter what, at least United Technologies' sales of concentrated solar cells have surged. Da Mian was grinning from ear to ear. The scale of the factory was continuously expanded. In addition to supplying the needs of super estates, all other products were exported, with Europe purchasing the largest amount. In China, because Wesson Technology promotes home energy combination solutions everywhere, many new villas are equipped with such high-end products, and the industrial group has made a lot of money. Encouraged by generous dividends, the New Energy Laboratory has strengthened related research, and the theoretical research project team is progressing smoothly under the leadership of Yamamoto.
"Yamamoto is really a talented person, not the kind who just studies." Li Zhuang said to He Xiuwen.
"Yes, there are very few such people, and I feel ashamed. Fortunately, I am smarter than him in other aspects." He Xiuwen stared at the steak on the plate, and while eating happily, he did not forget to answer, both praising Yamamoto and defending himself. .
¡°The hot news these days are all about smartphones. Everyone in the company now has some understanding of smartphones, but Li Zhuang feels a little tired after looking at the overwhelming smartphone news in newspapers and the Internet.
The ccav news broadcast on the large LCD screen in the restaurant suddenly stopped, and the host said wait a minute. Everyone who was dining felt confused.
"It's dinner time now, am I mistaken? You have to arrange the time for equipment maintenance. These guys have no professional ethics." The national treasure picked up a piece of bamboo shoot and crunched it.
¡°My hero, please don¡¯t make such a loud noise while eating, okay?¡± Li Zhuang scolded.
"No, can you eat bamboo shoots without making a sound? If you can do that, I will never eat bamboo shoots from now on." Kung Fu Panda retorted disdainfully.
¡°Forget it, I¡¯m too lazy to tell you.¡± Li Zhuang had no choice but to compromise. Guobao likes to eat bamboo shoots very much, saying it can clear his stomach, but Li Zhuang wonders if he thinks he is too fat and eats them to lose weight. No matter what, it is natural for the national treasure to eat bamboo shoots.
Just as I was thinking about it, the host image on the LCD screen returned to normal and told a shocking news.
"I just received news from the Berlin reporter station. Two German scientists who independently researched came up with a mature computer with 300,000 artificial neuron modules and successfully applied it to fag's automatic bearing production line, greatly improving production efficiency and quality. .¡±
"These two scientists claim to have completed the design of a real artificial neural network brain, with up to one million artificial neuron modules, and they are planning to apply for government funding or venture capital."
"Please wait patiently for follow-up reports. Our Berlin reporter station will go to Frankfurt to interview two scientists."
As soon as the host finished speaking, there was already a buzz in the company canteen, and the national treasure who was eating frowned into the Chinese character "Chuan".
"National treasure, why are you not interested at all?" He Xiuwen asked.
"There are specialties in the arts. I never care about things other than my major. It's boring. Besides, there are people doing research. Sooner or later, I will see the real brain." After speaking, the national treasure looked at a certain professional who was looking at him. .
"Haha, you are more confident than me." Li Zhuang smiled.
"I heard that the 19th floor is relatively high. If you are not sure, I suggest you take a flight from above."
"How come your mouth is so damaged? But with a structure like the Hexagonal Building, even if I jumped from the roof, I probably wouldn't be able to fall to my death."
"It doesn't matter. It's a waste of energy to run to the 19th floor. I have a lot of good stuff in my lab. Do you want to try it?"
Li Zhuang didn¡¯t answer. This kind of boring bickering was boring. Then he thought of the research in the biotechnology laboratory. They are currently doing very good research on purifying toxins. The national treasure planned to raise venomous snakes and ants, but unfortunately everyone opposed it and had to give up because the venomous snake was a Taipan snake he caught from the Australian desert, and the ants were a special species that made people's scalp numb.
Li Zhuang works long hours every day, and Lisa and Shuangwei often come over to accompany him. Sunway likes his father's office very much because it is very large and has more complete facilities than at home, with advanced gadgets everywhere. Lisa likes to come here because of the things above the eleventh floor.
Nowadays, with the development of media,It was shocking how quickly the news spread. In just three hours, the ancestors of these two German scientists were dug up, and relevant news filled the Internet.
This pair of German scientists are twin brothers who look very similar and have similar personalities. The elder brother is called Erwin, and the younger brother is called Badwin. Their surname is Swabian. They are in their early forties and live in Frankfurt.
The Swabian brothers are both handsome and come from relatively good families. Their father, Swabian Sr., was a small factory owner in the suburbs and earned a lot of money. The two brothers are both top-notch smart people with very broad ideas, but they are a bit bad, their ability to make a living is relatively poor, and they are a bit particular about their clothes. They invested nearly 15 million euros in research, consuming all the money the old man had saved.
Li Zhuang felt sad when he saw this. The Swabian brothers must have suffered a lot. It can be deduced from the cost of the speaker-level brain that Germany's consumption is higher than that of China. The two brothers have to save some face, so their research is definitely tied up.
¡°To study the intelligent brain, money and technology are indispensable, but before seeing the results, no venture capital institution is willing to invest in such a high-risk frontier field. How much money did the world spend in the 1980s? It should be equivalent to US$200 billion now, but who can afford it?
There are many smart people in this world. Although Li Zhuang rarely sees anyone who can compare with him in China, it does not mean that there are not others in the world. Chinese people are very divergent in their thinking. We are a technologically backward country with poor basic industry.
There is nothing strange about the fact that the Germans can develop artificial neural network computers. Li Zhuang has two German friends who have a good relationship. They know that this country encourages childbirth, has many twins, has a solid industrial foundation, and has developed education.
The rest of the news is very routine, no surprises. The Swabian brothers¡¯ phone calls were bombarded, but the fastest movers were of course the local forces. The German government immediately took them under its wing and drove away all other agencies that wanted to recruit.
Lizhuang browsed it briefly and decided to go home and have a good rest. It will probably be very lively in the future.
"Don't you want to go up there and have a look?" Lisa asked.
"It's inconvenient that Sunwei is here. Children can't keep their words." Li Zhuang picked up his son, who was still playing games, and got out of the Hexagon Building.
Under the night, the K-city industrial zone is brightly lit, and there is the faint sound of machinery. Wesson Technology Park was still very busy at nine o'clock in the evening. Many researchers were working overtime, but there was no overtime pay. This was different from employees in non-research departments.
"You are my arms, I hope we can share the joys and sorrows, and there will be no tit-for-tat confrontation!"
