After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 181 Nvidia’s wishful thinking—just seeing a glimmer of hope, it was instantly thrown into hell!
New Year’s Eve, which is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month!
And today is already the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, six days - at most there are only six days left!

Everyone was excited instantly - whether they were game fans or not!
Is a game that reflects real society and technological levels still a game?

That's really Second Life - it's impossible for anyone to miss it.

At this time, Hao Cheng spoke again: "By then, we will provide two versions, stand-alone or networked, for you to choose from."

The so-called stand-alone game is easy to understand. The others are all NPCs simulated by Xiaosha, and there is only one player character.

"In the stand-alone version, you are the only one who changes, the variable. Everyone else will proceed with events according to their established personalities and established logic."

Hao Cheng explained: "This version makes it easier to deduce the impact of your choices on the world."

"Oh! I understand. If the stand-alone version of Blue Star Online is mapped to reality, then I am the only one cheating, and everyone else is following the established route!"

"So in the online version, everyone is using cheats? And everyone is 'playing' with the world together? Players will also fight with each other, right? There are countless variables, and it's hard to say how it will eventually evolve!"

"That's interesting. Fighting with others is fun!"

"I have a question. What are the settings of the AI-NPCs in the stand-alone version, or the online version, and what is the level of the non-player characters?"

Some people have such doubts, and the next aspect introduced by Hao Cheng is exactly this: "As for the source of the prototype of AI-NPC, in principle, well-known people, such as leaders of well-known companies, major leaders of major institutions, etc., are generally not linked to reality, but are all virtualized by Xiaosha.

"Because there are fewer people of this type, even if the data is anonymized, we have strong privacy protection, but once it reaches a certain level, it is easy to associate it with related companies and individuals.

“So, for this type of data, we adopt methods such as Xiaosha’s creation. By then, you will see a world where the technological foundation is almost the same, the technological products are all there, but the technological companies and related entrepreneurs are completely different. Any similarities are purely coincidental.

"Oh, yes, the technological foundation is almost the same, except for the lack of Baiju Technology. Just imagine what the real world would look like without Baiju Technology."

What does the real world look like without Baiju Technology?
What would the world be like without Baiju Technology? Many people can’t even imagine it!
There is no Xiaosha, and there is no super powerful AI. At most, it is just ChatGPT. Oh, I heard that there is a company in Hangzhou called DeepSeek, which has done very deep research on AI. A language model called DeepSeek was very powerful a few months ago.

Its idea is even very similar to Xiaosha, and the computing power required for training and reasoning is very small - only a few tenths of ChatGPT.

However, now it pales in comparison to Xiaosha and does not cause any waves.

If there was no Xiaosha, it should have had its day, right?
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Wait until the game is released to see what it's like."

“Yes, there are changes in these top companies, but what about the rest?”

Hao Cheng paused for a moment, letting everyone digest this matter, and then continued: "The rest is unchanged. For ordinary people, there are two choices:

“If you are willing, you can authorize your prototype to us, and we will design a relevant role based on you while paying attention to privacy protection and data desensitization.

“And if there aren’t enough willing people, or if they are foreign forces or people, we will let Xiaosha build and create.

"Of course, if the top companies I just mentioned are willing to use their real names, positions and personnel to appear in the game Blue Star Online, we will not refuse. You can negotiate with us and issue a letter of authorization.

“We can let Xiaosha build the AI digital human NPC based on the relevant analysis and evaluation of your company and personnel.

"The total population of Blue Planet is 70 billion. In the online version, when a user enters, a character will be generated based on the user's personality, knowledge level, ability, intelligence and other data, replacing an existing similar NPC."

Almost everyone is using Xiaosha now. It is not difficult for Xiaosha to imitate an AI-NPC based on the user's knowledge, ability, personality, etc.

"That's the basic logic! In other words, if all 70 billion people enter the game, then the online version will be full of real people, with no NPCs!"

Hao Cheng's introduction continued, but people were more shocked the more they listened.

If everyone really wants to play it, and its basis is the real world, can it still be considered a game?
People dare to do things in real life, but they can do everything in the game. What will the world become? Will it be destroyed?
"It doesn't matter if the game crashes or not! I just want to know, will people die in the game? What should I do if I die?"

"Why do you care about life or death? Shouldn't you be concerned about having a baby? Dating, having a baby, tsk tsk tsk tsk ..."

"Ah, this, this won't pass the trial!"

"Don't even think about it! The official website introduction has already come out. Birth, aging, illness and death are simplified here into 'events' and 'plots', which have nothing to do with reality."

"That would be boring!"

"Not fun? Then don't play!"

"Hey, you're just going to argue, right? No, I have to find my laptop right away. I've only turned it on a few times since I bought it. It's been gathering dust all this time. Now it finally comes in handy!"

The nickname of this netizen is also very interesting, @成飞沈飞西飞. He quickly rummaged through the boxes and took out the laptop he had bought. The first thing he did was naturally to upgrade the Unbounded system.

"Oh, and there's also a prototype license. I'm really curious about how Xiaosha will design my IQ, personality, and abilities to be. And what kind of life will I have in someone else's stand-alone game?"

At this time, Xiaosha has already enabled the relevant functions for signing authorization letters, and the first wave of people who have tried it have already read the agreement and made authorizations.

……

At this time, NVIDIA on the other side of the ocean was also paying attention to Baiju Technology's press conference.

It's not just NVIDIA. Almost all technology and financial companies in America are paying attention. Related companies in Silicon Valley and Wall Street even adjusted the time difference three days in advance and adopted the Eastern schedule just to stay alert at this time.

They even attach more importance to the press conference of Baiju Technology than the domestic people and enterprises.

Nvidia's Huang Renxun even gathered the company's senior executives and technical experts to watch the live broadcast in the company's conference room.

The first product, Unbounded System, did not exceed their expectations.

"Oh!" When Huang Renxun saw this, he was still mourning for Microsoft. In his eyes, Microsoft could not only lose the Chinese and European markets, but also its own market in America.

There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. How can such an advanced thing be blocked? Unless people stop moving around!

Otherwise, if someone from America goes to China, they will naturally bring back Wujie, and this thing is contagious, one person will infect two, and it won't be long before the whole United States is infected.

Unless anyone who uses it is sentenced to 20 years in prison, but how is that possible!
……

"Yes, you read that right, Blue Star Online!"

"Second Life!"

"Your life simulator!"

"what?"

Huang Renxun knows a little Chinese, but he is not very proficient. When Hao Cheng introduced the three words of the game, he looked at the professional translator with a confused look on his face. After translating and explaining, Huang Renxun was still puzzled: "Are you sure you didn't translate it wrong?"

"I'm sure that's the case. This is a sample game specially made by Baiju Technology to promote their system among PC game users. You can simulate life in it..."

"call……"

Huang Renxun knew about Xiaosha's abilities, but what effect would it have if he integrated it into the game?

"If you put my model in it, can it become another Huang Renxun?" Huang Renxun asked.

"That's what they said!" The translator nodded.

"How much computing power will that require? Isn't this our chance?" Huang Renxun's eyes lit up instantly: "Nvidia's spring is coming!" "This..." The translator was about to say something, but was interrupted by Huang Renxun: "This must require a lot of graphics cards. To run such a large game on a PC, don't you need game cards?
"Each person has a model, doesn't that require a computing card? The server needs to infer such a powerful logic of the entire world, doesn't that require an inference card?
"And in the whole world, aren't we the only ones who can do it? Hahaha!" Huang Renxun swept away his previous gloom and laughed loudly!
"Quick, release a statement." After laughing, Huang Renxun immediately arranged: "We will fully support the game of Unbounded System and White Horse Technology. Both computing power cards and game cards can be supplied!"

Huang Renxun made this decision without even discussing it with anyone else.

"Is this okay? Can we just tell other members of the New Liberal Party? After all, we are of the same blood!"

"What the hell are we of the same blood? We are the lowest among them! Besides, what if I support it? Do you think these people in America dare to speak up now?"

Huang Renxun was very sure that after the fall of dozens of satellites, they had definitely learned their lesson. As long as it was related to Baiju Technology, no one would dare to say no, for fear of accidentally provoking Hao Cheng and causing another incident!
However, the work on the surface still needs to be maintained. After thinking for a while, he continued:

"Don't send it directly, just send it to Baiju Technology. Then, publish articles on major stock platforms and financial information in China and the United States to spread the news!"

I have to say that Huang Renxun is indeed a genius.

All major financial information sources were instantly filled with posts or news about Bluestar Online and NVIDIA graphics cards. The analysis was well-organized and logical, and it felt as if NVIDIA was about to take off in the next second.

The stock market reacts very quickly. It is now 4 a.m. Eastern Time. In just a few hours...

"Let's make a comeback!" Huang Renxun thought happily - he was really fed up with the declining market value these days!
……

"What? Nvidia? Isn't that ridiculous?"

The related posts arranged by Huang Renxun were also widely circulated on the Chinese Internet. They were not even limited to financial and stock news. All major platforms forwarded them and even accidentally became a hot search.

"What can we do? We have to buy it. They are the only one in the market. Even if you want to switch to AMD, it is still an American company!"

"Fuck! What you said is true, a graphics card is a must! Isn't this another way for the profiteer Huang to get a bargain?"

"NVIDIA? I suggest you wait. Although I don't know the situation, my experience tells me that Baiju Technology is unlikely to be cheaper than American companies like NVIDIA! Especially if you want to buy stocks at the bottom, you might end up buying at the top. Let's wait and see the situation first."

"What's the point of looking at the situation? Apart from Nvidia and AMD, what else can we choose? There is nothing else!"

Given the level of hostility between Baiju Technology and America and its technology companies, everyone can imagine that Baiju Technology is unlikely to help Nvidia. However, there is no better choice except these two.

Even AMD is not doing well. The graphics card market, especially the gaming graphics card market, is almost dominated by Nvidia alone.

However, someone was the first to react: "I remember it, Moore's Thread!"

"Moore thread? Tsk! Can that thing work? Even though it's made in China, you can't just blindly support it. I bought one and it just sat there gathering dust. It had a lot of problems and no one wanted it even if I sold it second-hand!"

"It's the pride of China, but it's just the pride of China. When you really use it, it's really lame!"

"Moore threads? What do you mean?"

……

When the words "Moore threads" came out, although it should be supported, the level is indeed limited and many people said it is not acceptable.

There are even many people who don’t know what Moore threads are, and only find out after a quick search.

However, some people insist that it is Moore's Threads: "You only know one side of the story. Moore's Threads gaming cards are still very strong in terms of hardware performance alone. The S80 is not much inferior to Nvidia's 4060 or even 4070.

"It's just that the drive is not good, the adaptation is not good, and it can't perform as it should!"

"No matter what it is, it just won't work. What else can we say? We don't buy hardware on a large scale. What's the point of having a large scale if we can't perform well?"

"No, brother, don't be impatient, just listen to me!" The netizen continued: "As long as the scale is sufficient, does the drive matter? Don't forget what Baiju Technology does!"

Soon, someone answered: "Moore Threads, I remember that when Xiaosha was teaching how to build a private model, he first recommended the Moore Threads graphics card. I was stunned at the time and didn't know what it was.

"Later, I searched again and found that the recommended card was still S80, which is a gaming card, not a professional inference card or training card. At that time, Xiaosha reminded me that there will be targeted optimizations for Moore's Law graphics cards in the future!
"And now two or three weeks have passed, the optimization must have been completed! That must be the case! I'll ask Xiaosha!"

Two or three weeks, if it were for other companies, that would be simply a fantasy, but this is Baiju Technology - the development of the borderless system only takes a week or two.

"Xiaosha, is that so?"

[That's right. Baiju Technology and Moore's Thread have reached a strategic partnership. Moore's Thread's graphics card, with the cooperation of the Unbounded system, can fully exert the original strength of its hardware. Even compared with NVIDIA's graphics card of the same scale, the performance can exceed 30%! ]

"Look, look! From this perspective, using the Unbounded system, the S80 is at least at the level of Nvidia's RTX4070~RTX4080, which is enough even for large-scale 3D games!"

"Damn! I forgot about this!" Indeed, when the CEO of Moore Threads went to Linzhou, the Linzhou news reported it.

"Well, it seems that the next step is Moore's Thread. By the way, is this thing on the market? I have to buy two shares!"

"There is another question: who will produce it? Will it be a bottleneck?"

"Before S80, it should be TSMC's 7nm, and 70/60 is SMIC's np2! But, I think, since it has come this far, there must be relevant reserves, so we don't need to worry at all!"

"That's good!"

……

In just a moment, Hao Cheng's introduction to the game ended, and the slideshow stopped at the last page of the product. Hao Cheng specially made this page, with three lines of big words on it:
Strategic Partners
AI Inference Training: Huawei Ascend

End-to-end testing of gaming graphics cards and model local reasoning: Moore threads.

……

"It's indeed Moore's Thread, JD.com operates it, hurry up and grab it, although there may be production capacity, but if everyone wants the first batch, it will definitely not be enough!"

"The server computing power comes from Huawei Ascend. Damn, neither of these two companies is listed. Otherwise, based on this PPT, the stock price would have reached the daily limit by now!"

"Are you stupid? Do you have to buy these two? There aren't many concept stocks! Chip stocks are on the rise!"

……

The domestic Internet was in jubilation, but at Nvidia, Huang Renxun was simply dumbfounded: "Moore Threads? The company Zhang Jian founded?"

Huang Renxun is very familiar with Moore's Law. Many of the people there are Nvidia's capable people, especially the founder Zhang Jian, who was his former deputy.

What does that count now?
Do you want to expose this old boss?

If it was just Moore's Technology, Huang Renxun would not care at all. No matter how hard it struggled, it could not escape from his control. In fact, Nvidia has taken good care of Moore's Technology over the years and even made a small investment in it.

However, they are now relying on Baiju Technology - even if it is a rotten tree, it can be carved into a pillar of talent!

"This..." Huang Renxun squatted on the chair and said, "Then we are done for, right?"

Ten minutes ago, Huang Renxun still felt that he was about to make a comeback and go to heaven, but in just a moment, he fell straight into hell.

He even hoped that time would go slower, even slower - the Nasdaq should not open, as this opening was bound to cause another plunge - a considerable portion of Nvidia's market value expectations rested on the fact that China would not be able to resolve the problem of computing power cards in a short period of time.

But now that Baiju Technology dares to announce it, it means that Ascend and Moore's Law have made sufficient preparations!
