Chapter 312 Exchange (2000, finally kept my promise)

Join the board of directors of Youzi Technology?

Fang Yu looked like an old man on the subway.

Who do you think you are?

It also said that "Youzi Technology provides AI services to all my companies."

Did I say I provided you with a service?

Besides, what's the relationship between us? Fellow travelers?

Why should I let you join the board? As a Malaysian capitalist, do you think it's appropriate for you to join the board of directors of a startup in Dazhou?

Besides, even if you make it to the board of directors, what can you do?

Even if I don't use arcane magic and really want to use AI to rule the world, can you stop me?

Moreover, the board of directors of Youzi Technology is just a decoration and never meets. Are you stupid?

"Frankly, Fang, the technical path you described is indeed very attractive, but it is obviously more difficult than centralized ASI." Musk wiped his eye boogers.

“The path you mentioned can indeed reduce the risk of a single centralized system losing control and avoid the generation of biased models through data diversity.”

“But in practice, the distributed training and centralized integration of AI systems present enormous computational and coordination challenges.”

“For example, the asynchrony of distributed systems, data consistency issues, and how to effectively manage and optimize decentralized data processing.”

"Just a cursory thought reveals so many technical challenges. Furthermore, and more importantly, as time goes by, countries will also introduce various AI control regulations. Whether these regulations can be met remains an unknown."

"So, I still doubt whether you can succeed on this path. If it doesn't work, will EOS return to its existing centralized ASI technology? If you return to centralized ASI, how will you deal with the human crisis brought about by AI?"

Musk pursed his lips: "So, I have to get involved in this matter."

"I don't think you're giving me the respect I deserve. You also faced various technical and regulatory challenges when you were running SpaceX." Fang Yu frowned. "Would you accept Amazon's Bezos onto the SpaceX board just because Bezos is worried about you failing?"

Musk looked apologetic but firm: "I'm sorry, this may be my own wishful thinking, but I still ask you to consider this suggestion carefully."

"I have to personally participate in the things I care about, otherwise I will panic unconsciously, such as the brain-computer interface company Neuralink that I am currently working on..."

Hearing this, Fang Yu suddenly became interested: "Brain-computer interface?"

Musk shrugged and said: "This company has just been founded not long ago. I only have 15 employees at present. It is still in a state of strict confidentiality. Even the name Neuralink is actually owned by another company. I am preparing to acquire the domain name and company name."

"In fact, this company is related to the Omnic Crisis we just mentioned."

"The idea was originally proposed by an engineer on the team. I listened to it and thought it was a very good direction. In the short term, I hope this company can cure diseases such as Alzheimer's or cerebral palsy by combining the brain's neural network with chips."

"In the long term, if the ASI crisis is unavoidable, I hope that at least humans can gain the hope of coexisting with AI."

"Yes, I'm scared." Musk smiled. "I don't need to hide this."

"Everyone has different motivations for doing things. Some people are motivated by hobbies, some by desire, and mine is driven by fear."

"Tesla comes from my fear of energy depletion."

"SpaceX was born out of the fear that Earth is no longer habitable for human life."

“Brain-computer interfaces stem from the fear that humans will not be able to evolve and that AI will control the world.”

"When faced with fear, you see, I'm the type of person who has to do something."

Fear? I don't care whether you're afraid or not. I just want to ask you how far this company's technology has progressed.

It sounds like it was just founded and there shouldn't be any technological breakthroughs.

But... this seems like a good excuse, then...

Fang Yu pondered for a moment and said, "How about this? I can give you a non-executive director position. In exchange, I also need a seat on Neuralink's board of directors."

"In addition, if you are also granted the sole proprietorship policy, you need to locate the Tesla Dazhou factory in Haixi and sign a letter of intent with Haixi."

As a native of Haixi, Fang Yu still wants to give back to his hometown.

Even if Tesla's level of automation becomes higher, it can still provide at least 10,000 to 20,000 jobs, and the salary will not be too low.

Musk considered it briefly and then nodded in agreement: "Yes, but only under the same conditions."

In the reception room, Li Zheng kept looking at his watch, looking anxious, and pacing back and forth.

It's almost six o'clock, why haven't they come out yet? What are these two talking about? It's been over an hour, do you have any sense of time?

Seven o'clock is dinner time. Although it is a working lunch, Qi Zhangyi and Chen Shilang are both going to attend. How can we let them wait?

He walked to Fang Yu's laboratory door several times and wanted to knock on it, but then he remembered the embarrassing situation before and held back.

We have to wait for five more minutes at most. It will take at least half an hour to get from here to the Guest House. It is now the evening rush hour. Fortunately, the roads from the city to the eastern suburbs are quite congested at this stage, so it is slightly better to enter the city. However, if we do not have 45 minutes to an hour, we will not be able to get there even with the police clearing the way.

So you must leave early.

Yuzu Technology, hum!

I may not be able to make things happen, but can I still make things worse?

Li Zheng couldn't sit still in the reception room. He stood up and walked around for a while, then walked around again.

No, I must call Musk out, otherwise it would be bad if Qi Zhangyi thought I was not doing my job well.

With the sudden change of master, he didn't expect to be able to continue working as the Internal Affairs Secretary, but there are always different levels of service when being sent out.

Just as he was about to go to Fang Yu's laboratory and knock on the door, Li Zheng heard the voices of Musk and Fang Yu coming from the end of the corridor.

It’s finally out!

Seeing Musk and Fang Yu talking and laughing, the muscles on Li Zheng's face twitched twice.

"Li Nei Shi, be careful when getting on and off the bus, be careful not to fall." Before getting on the bus, Fang Yu seemed to casually remind Li Zheng.

Wrestling? Fall your grandma's leg!

After Musk got in the car, Li Zheng angrily stepped on the electric running board. As a result, his foot slipped and he fell with a thud. His face hit the steps of the Coaster, and a bloody hole was knocked out in his mouth, and one of his front teeth fell out.

Day after day after day.

Li Zheng asked the driver for some tissues to put in his mouth, and then told the driver to drive quickly to the guesthouse.

Musk was stunned. Don’t you need to go to the hospital?

Musk appears in Qidian's book. I think the behavioral logic of Musk that I described is consistent with his behavioral logic in reality.

In reality, he joined the board of directors of a bunch of messy companies, especially in the fields that he was interested in. He didn't want any shares, but still wanted to participate. Then he started to make decisions and said that others were not capable of managing the company, so he asked him to manage it. Then he was kicked out of the board of directors.

Besides, Musk doesn't criticize people much anymore. In his early years, he probably had a strong aversion to stupidity, and when he did, he liked to call people stupid. In middle school, he was even beaten up and had a broken bone for calling someone stupid.
