Chapter 224 Your Father Was Born by You (5000 Words)

"AlphaGo failed for the first time, but humans did not win."

"Orange, the mysterious chess player who defeated AlphaGo, is also an AI!"

"The future is here. Facing AI, where will humanity go?"

“Yuzu Technology: A technological miracle created by the little-known Da Zhou company.”

"Zuckerberg: The Orange model is highly similar to Facebook's Darkforest. We suspect technology leaks and are conducting an internal investigation."

"What kind of company is Yuzi Technology, the company that opened the door to the era of artificial intelligence? Let Clairvoyant Girl explain the ins and outs of this company to you."

"The most powerful artificial intelligence? It's still early, but it's already amazing enough!"

Hua, the technical director of Youzi Technology, said: "Within the next three months, we will launch a civilian-grade AI product. The current bottleneck is computing power."

"Youzi Technology releases details of its DBAS algorithm, showcasing the synergy between distributed technology and search-based algorithms!"

"The soul of Yuzi Technology: Fang, Yu, and Professor Yoelz. They completed 80% of the work on the Orange model. Who are they?"

…

Before Fang Yu and Shen Shuyao even reached Dongdaemun, headlines in media outlets around the world had already appeared.

The media of the Great Zhou Dynasty include those who praise it and those who question it. Some praise it to death, while others criticize it to death.

Thanks to the recognition of Hua Zecheng's "sweet words" by the media reporters on the scene, the reports of foreign media were relatively objective, with only one point in the middle being quite eye-catching.

Of course, if it weren't for the "sweet talk and flattering appearance", it would probably be a different story.

Very good, Fang Yu nodded with satisfaction. No one has dug up his background until now, which means that setting up an offshore holding company from the beginning was indeed the right choice.

As for Zuckerberg’s FB post?

I think you really have to die.

Fang Yu looked at the Sima face on Zuckerberg's profile picture and snorted.

Of all the tech giants, this guy is the most unpopular one, no doubt about it.

He is opportunistic, profit-driven, hypocritical and artificial. I don't know whether his competitors bribed the media to slander him, or if he really has too much negative information to suppress.

It is understandable that Zuckerberg was so angry that he personally criticized Youzi Technology. At the end of January, Google just announced that it would challenge Lee Sesil. Zuckerberg posted a long article on Facebook that day, saying that Facebook's Go AI had made a breakthrough and could make response decisions to human moves within 0.1 seconds.

The anxiety is beyond words.

After AlphaGo defeated Lee Se-sil in the first game, Yann LeCun, director of Facebook's AI laboratory, posted a yin-yang tweet about AlphaGo on Facebook, saying that AlphaGo's victory over Lee Se-sil was hype.

LeCun and Hinton are actually old friends and colleagues, but LeCun is less fortunate than Hinton. They do similar things, but he is always one step behind Hinton.

However, LeCun can rest assured this time.

This time, it wasn't just Hinton he was trailing behind.

From the reactions of Yann LeCun and Zuckerberg, you can see how angry Facebook is now.

FB was one of the earliest giant companies to engage in AI, but it got up early but arrived late, and was left behind by Google. It was already a bit unhappy, and now it has been surpassed by a small company in Dazhou. Who can stand this?

But how dare you say on FB that Youzi Technology stole your technology?

Just because you, Zuckerberg, have a long face?

Yuzu's one-tenth of consciousness actually took her to Facebook's AI research center in Xinxiang, Maiguo. Their so-called Go AI hasn't even completed the basic decision-making network yet. At most, it can only defeat amateur players, and that's without encountering any bugs.

Even the imitation chess game can't be cracked.

The value network, strategy network, and visual system are all full of bugs. It is actually not easy to play a game of chess without encountering any bugs.

Why does a Go AI need a visual system?

Fang Yu really didn't understand.

After looking at Zuckerberg's Facebook, Fang Yu thought for a while and directly used the official account of Youzi Technology to reply to Zuckerberg's tweet with a screenshot of the page.

The content is the license information of the PyTorch training framework that FB just released on the 19th of last month.

In addition to PyTorch's BSD statement, the license file also contains an Apache 2.0 license statement, which clearly indicates that PyTorch also uses some open source code from the 0.18 version of the yuzu architecture.

After the launch of the youzu training architecture, it was updated from version 0.12 to version 0.25 in less than two months, and has become the most popular deep learning training architecture. Almost every architecture launched by a company will more or less borrow some of the youzu code.

Fang Yu added a sentence above the picture, "Yes, your father is your son."

It's a little after two in the morning in San Francisco. Seeing that Zuckerberg sent this Facebook message half an hour ago, he must not be asleep yet.

It's so disgusting that it kills you.

Keeps you awake all night.

Fang Yu had a wicked smile on his face. After posting the message, he specially asked Lu Jiayan, who was still in Haixi, to buy 10,000 yuan of FB Boost traffic from FB.

FB's behavior certainly cannot be considered plagiarism or infringement. Both BSD and Apache are open source protocols and can be used as long as the corresponding statement is added to the license.

But there are many people on FB, but few of them really understand these things.

These are basic knowledge for programmers, but what percentage of FB users are programmers?

Less than one in ten thousand, right?

Fang Yuke knows too well the morals of today's media and self-media. As long as there is a hot topic, many people, even those who know the truth, will pretend to be ignorant and follow the trend to criticize.

Add to that the fact that Facebook has the worst corporate image among high-tech companies, and the fact that they're smearing Zuckerberg is justified. Fang Yu can imagine that tomorrow, news about Facebook plagiarizing startups will be trending on the search results.

I guess there must be a lot of people on FB’s own Instagram who are following suit and criticizing it.

"This is Dongdaemun." Looking at the shabby and messy alley in front of her, Shen Shuyao looked around curiously.

Although she didn't watch many Goryeo dramas, she had seen some of the popular TV series in recent years. Seeing it in person was almost completely different from what was shown in the TV series. It was like a small commodity market in the Great Zhou Dynasty more than ten years ago.

"Are you disappointed?" Fang Yu turned his head and asked.

Chen Shuyao shook her head, her expression normal: “No, it’s tattered and has a movie feel.”

Fang Yu laughed out loud, and the Koreans around him couldn't help but look at him with no kindness.

"What are you looking at?" Fang Yu glared at them, and several Koreans immediately looked away, pretending nothing had happened.

Chen Shuyao liked to see Fang Yu being unreasonable, her eyes sparkling: "You also speak Korean?"

Fang Yu smiled without saying anything. He said, "I am proficient in languages. Not only Korean, I can even speak Maori."

Fang Yu and Shen Shuyao randomly found a barbecue restaurant and had an authentic Korean barbecue.

It doesn't feel very good.

However, perhaps because there are many tourists from the Great Zhou nearby, the boss does not behave snobbishly. He treats everyone equally and charges the same price to Koreans and people from the Great Zhou.

A barbecue meal cost more than 400,000 Korean won, and the boss was laughing so hard that he couldn't stop.

"What are you looking for?" Chen Shuyao looked at Fang Yudong with hope and asked curiously.

Fang Yu thought to himself, "I'm looking for gangsters. Aren't there a lot of them in the movies? How come I haven't seen any after walking around for so long?"

Why are opportunities to punish evil and promote good so hard to find?

Can’t find it in Da Zhou, and can’t find it in Goryeo either?

Do I really have to go to Miami?

No, we must punish evil and promote good tonight.

Chen Shuyao and Fang Yu returned to the hotel. Fang Yu was flying back to Haixi tomorrow. Originally, Chen Shuyao was still worried about what to do if Fang Yu wanted to be with her at night... But Fang Yu returned to the hotel and sent her back to her room. He didn't even enter her room. He just said good night and left.

You can’t eat it. You can’t eat it now. It would be unfair to my cousin if you eat it.

If you want to eat, you have to eat together.

Fang Yu is a fair person and never shows favoritism.

"Shit!" Zuckerberg's face twitched when he saw the reply from Youzi Technology under his Facebook post.

This reply has been followed by more than 300 comments.

"What a shame! I'm so fed up with Zuckerberg's hypocrisy and selfishness. This is a massacre of startups."

"I'm not surprised by anything Zuckerberg does. Yes, even if he's a lizard man, I'll just shrug my shoulders. So what?"

"Hey man, did you really develop the Orange Big Model? I've never seen any news about you in any media channel before. Don't get me wrong, what I mean is that FB may be a villain, but you may be a liar. AI is great, but it will definitely be born in Miami. Apart from Miami, only Bharat has this capability."

"Is the person upstairs from Bharat? Is the curry you eat made from contraband?"

"I originally thought FB was just protecting fake news, but I was wrong. It turns out FB itself produces fake news."

"Hypocrite, you should feel sorry for Saverin, and yes, I will keep posting this under your posts."

“I noticed that yesterday’s update allows you to send new emoticons. Now I just want to [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]”

…

Zuckerberg's face turned blue.

I will never let you go, you damn little company!

He and his wife had already lived in separate bedrooms. Zuckerberg typed a long string of replies on his phone, wanted to send it, then felt it was inappropriate. After deleting it, he felt like sending it again and typed another long string.

But no matter what he wrote, he either felt that the counterattack was not strong enough or that the wording might cause trouble.

After this happened several times, Zuckerberg got so angry that he threw his phone on the bed and went to sleep.

The next morning, Zuckerberg drove from his home in Palo Alto to Facebook headquarters.

He does drive himself every day. He used to drive a Prius, and started driving a Volkswagen GTI in the past two years. He looks low-key, but there are always two Hongshans following him.

That was the car he assigned to his bodyguard.

As soon as he entered the Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, Zuckerberg requested a video conference with the Facebook artificial intelligence laboratory in Xinxiang, Malaysia, and the AI ​​personnel at the Menlo Park headquarters.

"Yang, I hope to get an explanation as to why our AI research and development progress is so slow?" Zuckerberg said straight to the point with a deadpan expression.

LeCun, 56, has been under increasing pressure at Facebook since Google published the paper in late January.

Originally, his attention was only on Google Brain, led by his old friend Hinton, so how come DeepMind suddenly popped up?

He knew this small company and it had contacted him before, but he didn't take it seriously at the time.

What does the boss do? He makes games? What the hell does a game developer know about artificial intelligence?

But I didn’t expect that just two years after being acquired by Google, it launched such a large satellite!

What’s worse is that it’s okay to be one step ahead of Deepmind, but the problem now is that even a startup company from Da Zhou has gotten ahead of it. How can this be explained?

"Mark, what we are doing is basic research. You know, our neural network research focuses on image recognition. The face recognition accuracy rate we just ran last week has exceeded 97.25%, which is already the same as that of humans..." LeCun wanted to project the PPT on the computer screen, but was rejected by the conference host.

The host is Zuckerberg.

"The second question is, why is the code from Youzi Technology used in our PyTorch framework?"

Zuckerberg still had a serious expression, but people who knew him could immediately feel that Zuckerberg was about to explode with anger.

Well, what you fear will come true. When people saw that FB message this morning and the screenshots flying all over the Internet, they had already anticipated this.

This small company is so brave, confronting Zuckerberg, one of the world's top ten richest men and a media mogul. Don't you want to see the world market?

"Mark, the public portion of the yuzu training framework 0.18 is licensed under Apache 2.0. Anyone can modify and distribute it, and our use of it complies with the specification."

Yang Leqiuen said in a deep voice.

Zuckerberg's face twitched a few times. He had already read the news on the internet on the way here. Almost every push notification on his phone contained the message from Youzi Technology: "Your father is your son."

"Yang, you previously proposed that the Xinxiang AI lab only focus on research and development, not product development, and I agreed. You also requested a floating budget, and I agreed. I even agreed to your request to locate the AI ​​lab in Xinxiang."

“I fulfilled all the promises I made at that time.”

"But you also promised me at the time that Facebook's AI lab would be at the forefront and lead the AI ​​era!"

Zuckerberg's voice began to become shrill, and his expression became extremely strange, with his eyebrows squinting.

Could this guy really be a lizard man?

Even Yanleqiuen began to feel a little scared.

"Sorry, I was too excited just now." Zuckerberg quickly realized his gaffe, took a deep breath, picked up the water and took a sip.

"Yang, this is a war. We are fighting a war now!" Although Zuckerberg's expression calmed down, his tone was still extremely sharp.

"I hope that within the next six months, we can come up with world-leading AI products. If we lose this battle, Facebook will no longer have any value! Do you understand?"

"No matter what means you use, stealing, robbing, or poaching, I want you to defeat Yuzu Technology! Defeat Google! My request is not excessive! This is what you promised!"

——

“AlphaGo resigned.”

As these words appeared on the computer screen next to Huang Shijie, Huang Shijie once again placed two white chess pieces on the chessboard.

Lost, lost again!

I lost all three games against the big orange model!

AlphaGo doesn't stand a chance.

"Congratulations." Huang Shijie stood up and shook hands with Hua Zecheng.

In the last two games, Li Shishi simply did not play. Hua Zecheng also brought a computer up and played against AlphaGo represented by Huang Shijie.

The post-match press conference almost became a one-man show for Youzi Technology, and Chen Shuyao, as a member of the Youzi Technology team, stood in the spotlight for the first time.

Although she said almost nothing, she attracted the most attention and flashes.

"Congratulations to Orange Model for defeating AlphaGo 3:0. You have created an amazing Go AI. This was a wonderful game. I would like to ask, how did you come up with the idea of ​​creating a Go AI?" A reporter from Gaul News Agency stood up and asked.

Hua Zecheng stepped aside and let Lu Si come to the front of the stage. He had been in the spotlight quite a lot in recent days, and the look Hassabis gave him that day made him feel uneasy. He had asked Lu Si to speak on his behalf at yesterday's press conference.

Lu Si, wearing only a light makeup and with her hair tied in a ponytail, said, "AlphaGo is also remarkable. Frankly, we didn't expect DeepMind to be working on the same thing. However, I need to clarify that the Orange Big Model is not a Go AI."

Not a Go AI?

"To be precise, the Orange Big Model was developed by Pomelo Technology. It's a large-parameter model for the AGI field. Playing chess simply proved the Orange Big Model's unsupervised learning capabilities. It was just a beautiful misunderstanding that we created in order to test the Orange Big Model's unsupervised learning capabilities."

AGI!

General artificial intelligence!

All the reporters at the scene were either knowledgeable, or those who were not had become at least half-experts through cramming in the past two days, and they all knew what AGI meant.

It is because I know that I am shocked.

Yuzu Technology actually wants to develop general artificial intelligence!?

Is this small company crazy?

Even Google doesn't dare to say it's working on general artificial intelligence these days, and you, a newly established small company, actually dare to say you want to work on general artificial intelligence!?

Lu Si looked around at everyone and said slowly, "Of course, currently limited by computing power, the goal of AGI has not yet been fully achieved, but I believe the Orange model has the potential to become AGI. Currently, it can understand human language just like humans, for example..."

Everyone just breathed a sigh of relief, but it turned out they hadn't done it yet. Then they saw Lu Si pick up his laptop, open the dialog box of the Orange model, and type a line of text: "Orange, you performed very well today. You defeated AlphaGo in the middle game. Are you excited?"

Thoughtful bubbles flashed above the orange model's avatar. After a few seconds, a line of text appeared: "Thank you, but I'm just a large parameter model developed by Pomelo Technology. I don't have emotions, so I can't feel whether I'm excited or not. But I can understand the emotional changes humans experience when faced with such situations."

"The game between AlphaGo and me was the first exchange between two AIs in human history. Although this exchange was only on Go, I could feel that AlphaGo was equally outstanding. At one point, it also put me in a difficult position."

!!! ...

Isn't there a human typing over there?

I wrote a love story of more than 4,000 words today, but later I felt it was too awkward, so I deleted it and rewrote 2,000 words, but it was too late.

However, I am quite satisfied with the replies under Zuckerberg’s Facebook post. The sense of presence is still very strong.
