After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 72: With Xiaosha, what will the future application form eventually evolve into? (Subscribe)

[Xiaosha reminds you that due to the impact on the advancement of major industry decisions, you will receive 2 limited-time learning cards (45 minutes)]

The articles signed by Ren Zhongping are basically collective decisions, and anyone who knows a little about the inside story knows this.

However, the decision-making process is not necessarily smooth sailing.

There can be voices of discussion before a decision is actually made.

But once a decision is made, everyone must move in unison.

"It turns out there are so many things going on here." As a typical science and engineering student, Hao Cheng really doesn't know much about related matters and he was also feeling emotional.

Xiaosha has been in these people's sight for a long time. When the Xiaosha Index helped the investigation team trace the source of information and deal with a certain social media platform, these people already had a deeper understanding of Xiaosha's power.

Whether to support, whether to intervene, and whether certain regulations need to be formulated to impose restrictions are frequently discussed topics.

There are many reasons to support Xiaosha, including empowering all walks of life and related aspects of new quality productivity, which are what commentator Ren Zhongping mentioned in the article.

But there is one point, which is the most crucial one, which is not mentioned in the article: this point is very simple, to put it simply, it is leading the world in this field.

In recent years, the world has become increasingly competitive rather than cooperative, but in almost every technological confrontation, we have been on the passive defensive.

It is certainly encouraging to see the continuous breakthroughs in blockades in areas such as chips and systems, but the existence of the blockade itself actually means that one is in a weak or passive position.

We also need greater progress to directly break these so-called blockades.

Just for this reason, Xiaosha must give his full support.

Just imagine how spectacular it would be if Xiaosha had a debate with the leaders of the Western world at a world conference!

It's inspiring just to think about it.

As for the problems that may exist or may be caused by the development of AI, such as the impact on employment and various aspects that many people are worried about, these are easy to deal with. We have many ideas and methods to deal with problems in this regard. The most classic of these is local pilot projects or the demarcation of special areas.

First the small then the big, first the local then the overall, the rich first drive the rich later… There is a lot of experience in related matters, and even if there are really problems, it will not affect the overall situation.

This pilot project naturally fell on Linzhou. As for Gu Yufeng, it has not been confirmed yet. For such an important matter, he still needs to undergo some inspection.

For Hao Cheng, this is certainly a good thing, as it is equivalent to loosening up the restrictions on Baiju Technology in some areas.

Although they neither gave money nor land, the signal they sent was very clear, which was: "Baiju Technology, you can run as fast as you want, and no one will trip you up!"

Of course, no one told Hao Cheng these things explicitly. He came to these conclusions based on his own analysis based on the information provided by Xiaosha.

"I didn't intend to do anything." Hao Cheng shook his head, threw all these things out of his mind, and stopped thinking so much. The most important thing was to do the current things down to earth.

……

There are a lot of things going on at the moment, many things have changed, and some jobs also need to be adjusted. Moreover, after more than 20 days of recruitment, the company's personnel structure has been basically completed, and the company's vice president and Hao Cheng's own assistant Li Qingbo has also been in place.

Call relevant personnel to hold a meeting.

"Next, we have three aspects of work. First, Xiaosha has more and more users. Right now, the number of APP downloads and user registrations is rising rapidly, and the computing power service needs to be monitored in a timely manner."

In a live broadcast of the trial that broke the circle, Xiaosha's performance was seen by everyone, and more and more people who were previously trapped in the information cocoon they had woven began to try using Xiaosha.

Is Xiaosha worth trying? Once you try it, you will never be able to let it go!
No matter what mobile phone you used before, you must switch to a Huawei.

Moreover, you can’t change it whenever you want. All the mobile phones that can be upgraded to HarmonyOS NEXT are hard to buy even second-hand now.

Many people have even used their mobile phones for more than a year and can sell them second-hand at the original price or even higher, which is a great spectacle.

This is of course abnormal. Hao Cheng also joked: "Our Xiaosha is almost becoming a salesman for Huawei phones! If this continues, Huawei will be the only one with no competition.

“Previously, we suffered from a shortage of computing servers and underestimation of Xiaosha’s capabilities and impact, which led to this result. But now the problem has been solved.

"We are about to receive the 1000P computing power of the first phase of the Linzhou Intelligent Computing Center, which can meet the needs of up to million users online at the same time. If the requirements for immediate response are relaxed, it will not be a big problem to meet the needs of million users.

"After receiving this computing power center, the Android version of Xiaosha can be launched. The official website will allow downloads, and each app store will also have a copy online. Now let's put up a countdown to tell users that it will be officially launched in three days, that is, at noon on November 11." Hao Cheng said while observing the faces in the conference room. He saw Cao Song holding a pen and drawing something there: "Cao Song, what are you writing there? Why are you holding a pen?"

"me…"

Cao Song was one of the first employees to join the company. He was originally very proud of it, but now he feels worried.

Because Xiaosha, with his enhanced software development capabilities, can replace at least 90% of his work.

Now his daily workload is very small, and he can finish everything in two or three hours at most.

Although he felt relaxed, he also felt uneasy in his heart - let alone Cao Song, anyone would feel uneasy in that situation!
So when I find an opportunity, I want to be more serious and positive.

But, unexpectedly, I overacted. With Xiaosha around, we still had to use pens and notebooks to take minutes of meetings. What kind of thing is that?
"What do you mean by 'I'? Tell the truth!" Hao Cheng said unhappily, "Are you worried that you'll lose your job? What are you thinking about?"

After hearing this, Cao Song felt relieved and expressed many of his concerns.

"You've been thinking about this for a few days?" Hao Cheng paused, then asked: "Then have you ever compared the difference between the software developed by Xiaosha and the software developed by humans?
"Also, what's the difference between Xiaosha using software to help the owner do things and people using the software themselves?"

"Yes!" Cao Song stood up hurriedly and poured out all the thoughts he had had over the past few days:

“For example, if each store launches a takeaway yuan service, Xiaosha can quickly find it and place an order.

“But many times, when I order something, I don’t always know what I want to eat before I order it. I need to look through the menu to make sure. At this time, it is not very convenient to have individual Yuan services one by one.

"I'm thinking, should we provide a container to bring together these meta-services to facilitate smooth browsing for customers? Such containers can be combined according to user preferences, etc."

"What else?" Hao Cheng asked.

"Also, for control-type meta-services, for example, if I want to turn off a light and open a meta-service, it doesn't really need to be a whole page; a label or a button will suffice.

"Then a bunch of these labels or buttons can be arranged or combined according to the user's usage habits to provide services to the user as a group."

"Any more?"

"That's all I can think of for now." Cao Song said nervously.

"Sit down!" Hao Cheng motioned Cao Song to sit down, and said with a smile: "You said you have such a brain, why are you still worried about losing your job? People with brains will never lose their jobs!"

"You have discovered at least two problems. First, the way Xiaosha uses the app is different from how humans use the app. Even if you only give Xiaosha data and not an interface, it will work fine, but humans won't.

"Another thing is that after Xiaosha's software development capabilities were enhanced, a large number of software or meta-services emerged like mushrooms after rain. It doesn't matter to Xiaosha, it's just data, and it only takes a few tenths of a second to retrieve it, but for humans, this thing is a big trouble.

"The example Cao Song just gave is really good. I want to make an app for turning lights on and off, and another app for turning doors on and off. Wow, it's going to be a fuss! Even if it's just a meta-service, that's too much.

"What about access to platform ecosystems? Mi Home, Smart Life, etc.? They all have their limitations, and the standards of each are not unified, and there are many compatibility conflicts. Ultimately, the phenomenon of platform kidnapping of users will occur."

This phenomenon does exist. For example, many users choose to give up purchasing an appliance because it is not connected to Mi Home.

Hao Cheng also went on to say: "Therefore, in the era of strong AI software development, the future software presentation and usage methods will inevitably change. Because, in addition to humans, there are also AI assistants using the software.

"For people, the software APP can be simplified into a meta-service or quick application with only one or a few pages. But this is not enough, we need to continue to simplify it. If it only takes up the size of an icon and implements one function, it can be an element-level service.

“Element-level services can be large or small, simple or complex, independent of other third-party platforms, easy to develop, and most importantly, can be freely disassembled and combined. This is what the future application ecosystem will look like.”

Hao Cheng finally said: "Since you have proposed this idea, you will lead the design and development and implement the underlying support."

"Okay!" Cao Song immediately became full of fighting spirit.

"So, how can a person with brains be unemployed?"

Hao Cheng smiled and said, "Although Xiaosha is powerful, humans and machines are different. Many times, many things, such as human usage habits, are beyond its understanding. No matter what we do, the ultimate service target is people. Keep this in mind."
