Xueba's computing system

Chapter 236 Algorithm Storm 1
There is a saying in business: the one who kills you might be a layman.

This statement is fulfilled in many places.

When the car manufacturers were competing fiercely, the grain factory quietly made a big move. It turned out that it was really possible to build a car in three years.

Whether people are willing to admit it or not, the shipment volume has already shown that the car with the coarse grain factory logo has gained a foothold.

The same is true in the food delivery industry.

Haotuan and Blue Label Factory had been wary of each other for several years, and had also disgusted each other for several years. In the end, it was not the opponents they thought they were, but Tesla and the coarse grain factory that came from other industries that killed them.

There is already a lot of foreign capital behind Lei Zi's coarse grain factory. Lei Zi's long-term goal of entering the food delivery industry is to keep up with Tesla's pace and ensure that the coarse grain factory does not fall behind in the future AI field.

As for the short-term goal, Lin Yuan guessed that they probably wanted to short sell Haotuan.

Even if Lei Zi doesn't have this idea, the capital behind Lei Zi will not miss such an opportunity.

Of course, Lin Yuan didn’t even have to think about it, Musk must have already started shorting Haotuan.

Even the two parties may have secretly communicated with each other and shorted both Haotuan and Alibaba. Although Blue Label Factory is not listed, it is owned by Alibaba after all. If Blue Label Factory's business is damaged, it will naturally affect Alibaba's stock price.

However, the good groups are obviously more affected.

Lin Yuan gradually got used to this kind of business operation. Adding icing on the cake and adding insult to injury happen every day in the real world.

When Lin Yuan completed the first draft of the food safety control algorithm, Tesla Food Delivery 1.0 version was officially launched.

All merchants and their employees have voluntarily signed a personal privacy disclosure agreement, allowing Tesla to capture surveillance images of their work areas.

Therefore, every takeout order in the order list on the Tesla Takeout APP can be traced back to the cooking process image of the order.

Users can see the entire process of the takeaway they ordered, from raw materials to finished products.

As a result, businesses that advertise fresh meat no longer dare to use frozen meat. Otherwise, the monitoring algorithm will impose heavy penalties and make corrections.

Stores that advertise freshly squeezed juices no longer dare to mix in instant fruit powder;

The viscosity of preserved egg and lean meat porridge no longer depends on thickening additives;

Even if employees do not wear masks during the cooking process, the algorithm will catch them and remind them. If multiple reminders are ineffective, they will be warned.

For a while, showing the cooking process of your own takeout order became a new trend on social platforms.

Everyone laughed at themselves: What the hell have I eaten all these years.

[So this is what fresh tea tastes like; I used to eat mostly frozen meat; I finally got to eat authentic seafood. ]

[The guy who made me this cup of milk tea is quite handsome. Can Tesla takeout have a designated order function? 】

When Lin Yuan's second draft of the algorithm was launched, he even made it compatible with industrial-specific multi-spectral depth detection array cameras, which can determine the approximate content of each component in the liquid by scanning and sampling the multi-spectral data of the liquid.

This can be used to identify freshly squeezed juice and brewed fruit powder because the spectral information of the two is different.

Similarly, the differences between the liquids made from raw milk and milk powder can also be found through big data comparison.

Lin Yuan has installed an industrial-grade spectral monitoring system above every merchant.

Lin Yuan does this because he believes that only supervision can guarantee the rules.

Without full-process control, food safety in the true sense can only rely on random inspections and the personal ethics of practitioners. But Lin Yuan obviously does not believe that humans as a species can maintain self-awareness over a long period of time.

Therefore, no regulations are as reliable as algorithm-driven surveillance.

The algorithm will give each merchant a daily monitoring report at closing time every day, which will list in detail the work evaluation of each employee. The reasons for the deduction of points for employees will be listed, and the corresponding monitoring images will be attached.

There will even be additional red circles on the surveillance images. Of course, businesses can file a complaint, after all, the algorithm may not be accurate enough in the early stages.

After the complaint is filed, Tesla's manual review will follow up and review it. For merchants that have accumulated a certain number of complaints without reason, Tesla will downgrade its rating.

This rating is combined with the merchant's overall performance score to form a comprehensive "food safety score." This score is then visible to all customers.

The algorithm will score the violations of the merchant's employees, and the score is accumulated on a daily basis. Every violation of the employee's behavior on that day will be scored. If the score accumulates to a certain amount, there will be no reminder until the daily closing date.

The algorithm will immediately inform the merchant's management, requiring them to make immediate corrections and suspend the employee's work for a number of days depending on the severity of the violation.

If the violation is serious, such as deliberately spitting into a drink, which is absolutely unacceptable behavior, the student will be expelled immediately.

Since the algorithm is inherited from human body recognition, the human body recognition algorithm inherited by Lin Yuan includes not only face recognition but also body recognition. As a result, the fired employees are actually unable to work again in any Tesla takeaway franchise store.

Because even if the employee wears a mask, his identity will be determined by the algorithm's body recognition.

Of course, for those whose violations are not serious, such as not cleaning the food properly, the most they will be required to do is to receive retraining and return to work.

Such an algorithm is actually very cruel.

This became apparent shortly after the algorithm went online, and Tesla's food delivery service encountered a lot of criticism.

The biggest criticism comes not at home but abroad.

Foreign netizens think Musk is simply crazy.

Because under this real-time and strict monitoring algorithm, people have become slaves of AI. Any human behavior will be scored by AI, which means that AI determines the results of human work and becomes the judge.

For a time, the international Internet was filled with calls calling Musk a devil.

On the domestic Internet, Lin Yuan has also been made into various emoticons, and he is generally regarded as a representative figure of evil capitalists. He is like a thin thread hidden behind the scenes, using AI algorithms to control the humans enslaved by AI.

Lin Yuan is considered to be a person who has greatly promoted the efficiency of capital exploitation, because his algorithm is about to deprive everyone of the opportunity to slack off at work.

This is much more severe than those companies that have to time toilet breaks because those companies still have people to punish them.

The algorithm will silently record everything and then form statistics on what individuals do. Any of your actions will be recorded to the second level and will be accompanied by images.

This leaves workers with no way to arbitrate, because the employer holds video evidence, saying, "Look, you were using DY at a certain time, moment, and second on a certain day."

This fear makes ordinary office workers outside the food delivery industry break out in cold sweats.

Why do I say office workers outside the food delivery industry? Because those working in the food delivery industry are having a great time.

The application of this algorithm fully guarantees food safety, and there are many wealthy people in Long Country, some of whom are willing to pay for food safety.

As a result, the takeout industry has rapidly developed towards the mid- to high-end markets.

As a result, the salaries of riders and merchants’ employees increased significantly.

Although it is unpleasant to work under supervision all day long, Lin Yuan's algorithm is very humane. The algorithm sets work intervals to ensure that the staff will not work non-stop all day long.

Most importantly, Lin Yuan promoted performance appraisal through algorithms.

If an employee who is rated as excellent by the algorithm does not receive corresponding salary from the merchant who employs him, he can initiate a subrogation inquiry against Tesla Food Delivery.

Tesla Takeaway will demand reasonable wages from merchants on his behalf. If the merchants do not agree, they will soon be labeled as "sweatshops."

Therefore, a strange scene appeared: the workers who were dominated by algorithms shouted: I would rather be ruled by algorithms than be controlled by humans. And others who were not dominated by algorithms were worried that bad luck would befall them.
