After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 179: Just in the IT industry, 120 million people in America lost their jobs in the past three months!
To be honest, Hao Cheng was still a little excited at this moment.

Everything was moving slowly along the track he had set. All the invited companies, institutions and experts came to Linzhou without exception, and expressed their support for the cooperation with Baiju Technology.

In fact, their popularity was even higher than Hao Cheng had imagined.

Hao Cheng knew that the fundamental reason for all this was that the shock Xiaosha brought to them was too powerful!

To exaggerate a little, Xiaosha is now not much worse than humans in terms of "thinking ability", and in terms of computing speed, he can surpass humans by a huge margin!

At this moment, sitting in the car, Hao Cheng squinted his eyes, recalling the conversations with these people in the past two days, and the pressure was enormous.

Mo Shu is just his idea of completely integrating multiple disciplines, people and Xiaosha. Whether it will be successful or not, and what its ultimate ability will be, he himself cannot clearly say.

However, each of these people had greater faith than him—

Everyone used Xiaosha's ability as an analogy, believing that if Baiju Technology trained other types of AI, it would definitely be able to reach the corresponding level and bring more advanced tools to all walks of life.

But only Hao Cheng himself knows the actual situation - how did Xiaosha come about? It was not acquired through training, but was gained by directly upgrading and adding points.

However, for other industries, especially those involving physical entities and manufacturing, it is simply impossible to upgrade them directly in this way.

All of this requires Hao Cheng to lead them to work hard bit by bit and design the relevant AI algorithms with the micro-consciousness model on their own.

If faced with this problem two months ago, Hao Cheng would definitely say: This is simply impossible!

And now, he wants to say: Come on!

……

At this moment, in front of the door of the Kingdee Sports Center gymnasium, people waiting to enter were already shoulder to shoulder, and even the nearby botanical garden was crowded.

A group of people were chattering and discussing the press conference that would take place in more than two hours.

"Do you think there will be any special surprises at this press conference?"

"Special surprise? There isn't any! We already know what products will be released, and we've even used the Unlimited system for two weeks!" The man said, shaking his head at his phone: "What else can be left?"

"What I'm particularly concerned about is Xiaosha's improvement in ability. Didn't he say that his ability has been greatly improved again?"

"How can it be improved further? Can it really be like this to humans? That's too scary. I'd rather it not be improved!"

"This is not up to you, and the advancement of advanced productivity is not up to anyone!"

“It’s okay to improve it further. People used to say that when AI becomes stronger, our jobs will be replaced and many people will be eliminated. But you see, that’s not the case now. Aren’t our lives getting better and better?
"Is the work getting easier?" A group of people gathered together and the conversation soon started:
"Look at me. I came all the way from Jiangzhou to watch a press conference. In the past, this would have been impossible. I couldn't finish my work every day under the 996 schedule. If I had a little free time, I would choose to go home and have a good sleep."

"You only know one side of the story!" said a man named Ding Jinhua.

"Appreciate further details!"

Ding Jinhua has obviously done in-depth research and comparisons, and has a relatively deep understanding. He said: "It's not that AI has not replaced human work. The reason why you haven't noticed it is because it is the result of snatching food from the tiger's mouth."

"Snatching food from a tiger's mouth?" More and more people gathered together. They were all very interested in this topic: "How do you say it?"

"What do you do?" Ding Jinhua picked a person and asked, "Software development!"

"So what did you do before, and what are you doing now?"

"We used to do custom outsourcing, such as building shopping malls and management systems for others." The person being asked answered, "Now, with the help of Xiaosha, we are doing image processing, instant images!"

“I know Instant Image, I have already used it in the Unbounded system, it is much better than the previous Adobe Photoshop!

"Especially with AI capabilities, Photoshop can only generate images based on descriptions. You have to tell it step by step what to do, and then it can process it. Otherwise, the generated images are likely to be irrelevant." For example, for an advertisement for an electric rice cooker, you need to tell it step by step where to put the pot and what style to use, and then it will process it.

“However, Jiji Image can do the same job: it can directly generate finished advertising images based on the user’s usage scenarios and needs.

"For example, if it's a rice cooker, you only need to give it a product picture and tell it the product features, and it will automatically generate a batch of advertisements for use in various occasions. There's no need to do it step by step, it's so easy to use!"

"So?" Ding Jinhua took out his cell phone and called Xiaosha: "Tell it how many employees Adobe originally had, how many are left now, and why they were laid off!"

[Adobe had a total of about 24 employees worldwide in October 10, but now there are only about left. The reason for the layoffs is that the market has been hit hard and market expectations are seriously sluggish. ]

"Adobe's layoffs have reached almost two-thirds, and all of them were implemented in the past two months. If you think this is just a coincidence, then look at Microsoft." Ding Jinhua said: "Xiaosha, report on Microsoft's situation again."

[Microsoft has about 20 employees worldwide. Recently, it announced a plan to lay off up to 50% of its employees. The main factors are: the Chinese market expectations have returned to zero, and expectations in other regions have also declined sharply except for North America. It must save costs to survive. ]

"Ah?" The group of people really didn't understand this. They only knew that America's software industry had suffered a huge impact, but they didn't expect the impact to be so serious:
“You mean, AI didn’t replace humans, but it didn’t replace our people, but indirectly brought down others?”

"It's true!" Ding Jinhua said: "When AI was first launched, it had a huge impact on the software and AI industries in America. This time, operating systems and professional software are coming again.

"These two waves alone have caused 120 million people in America's IT industry to lose their jobs! AI is not without harm, but AI has harmed us, and we have transferred the harm!"

"Ah! Isn't this the best of both worlds? It would be perfect if all America died!"

"But, when a dog is cornered, it will jump over the wall; when a rabbit is cornered, it will bite. Didn't they plan an assassination a while ago?"

These people instantly linked the incident to the planned assassination of Hao Cheng. No wonder America was so impulsive. In the IT industry alone, 120 million people were unemployed. If this is not stopped, what will happen!

"Bite someone? You need to have good teeth first! Didn't I just want to bite Mr. Hao before, but ended up breaking my teeth? Now they dare to do it!"

America didn't dare to do that. She had become very obedient at this time and was planning to design a new plan to establish a fixed-line local area network for use by the military and special industries.

Even the existing network protocols were abandoned, and a new, private communication protocol was being designed. Otherwise, nothing could be hidden from Xiaosha, and she wouldn't be able to sleep well.

"I don't dare! But sooner or later, America's software industry will be completely destroyed by us. What if the capabilities of AI are further improved?"

Xiaosha's improvement speed is so fast that in the future he might even develop to the point where he doesn't need any human help at all. What should he do then?
"It doesn't matter," Ding Jinhua said:

"In the next step, AI will definitely develop its strength in software design and manufacturing. Can't we just shift it to another area? You can even observe which industries in America are relatively strong and can be considered pillars. In the future, I suggest that Baiju Technology should focus on this area!"

"It must be medical and pharmaceutical! The global medical market is worth tens of trillions of dollars each year, and most of it is captured by America!" someone said immediately.

"Hey, so, what are we worried about?" Ding Jinhua said: "In fact, both Baiju Technology and the country have plans and interventions for this.

“According to my relevant research, whether it is the previous light entrepreneurship or the current industrial replacement, it is the result of Baiju Technology’s careful consideration and deliberate guidance, and it is the result of joint intervention by people and policies.

"As for how we will develop after all of America's industries have been replaced, I believe that Baiju Technology will consider every step carefully!"

"Yes! I believe it too!" When talking about Baiju Technology, everyone has great trust in it. Their worries about the future are instantly transformed into expectations for a better future: "Baiju Technology will only lead us forward!"

……

"Oh my god, it's already half past one! I was so busy discussing this that I forgot about the time!"

A group of people talked about everything from Xiaosha to entrepreneurship and the remaining advantageous industries in America. They even began to think indignantly about helping Baiju Technology to take them all over step by step, and for a moment they even forgot about time.

It was almost half past one, with only one hour left before the press conference. The stadium had already been opened and a group of people rushed to the entrance of the stadium.
