Xueba's computing system

Chapter 260 Lin Yuan's Doubts

Lin Yuan originally wanted to hold Musk accountable, but it ended up being like punching cotton.

If the other party wanted to do something bad to him purely for the sake of profit, then Lin Yuan would fight back without any psychological burden. But Lin Yuan always wondered if Musk had a deeper reason.

Why must OpenAI be made open source again? Lin Yuan pondered this question in his mind.

Lin Yuan has a feeling about AI, that is, the more he gets into it, the more confused he becomes.

Lin Yuan always felt that the current logic of piling up computing power was not the right path, because the power of the human brain is only about 20W, but the AI language model that costs tens of billions of US dollars cannot reach the IQ of the human brain.

So Lin Yuan instinctively felt that the current development path of AI might not be right.

Since even the development path may be wrong, why close the source code? This should be the reason why Musk insists on it.

Because the top of the mountain is not visible in front of us, it is the time when all mankind needs to work together. How can we use the business model of selling Windows system licenses for profit at this time?

Lin Yuan also felt that the ideas of Gates and others were simply... speechless.

Piracy? By tacitly allowing piracy, they are expanding the market share of their own AI language models. This is simply crazy. The premise for this to continue is that their own products dominate the market.

However, in today's rapidly evolving AI field, who knows what new ideas or technical routes will emerge from the corners one day. By then, no one would be willing to use them even if they were given away for free.

What Lin Yuan couldn't understand the most was that since OpenAI was about to get out of Musk's control, why didn't he just start a new one? Since he could create OpenAI, he could also create a new, real OpenAI.

With Musk's current reputation on the global Internet, he does not need much start-up capital and can completely rely on his popularity to attract a lot of attention.

Take Lin Yuan for example. Even though he was tricked by Musk, as long as that guy really started a new business and set strict legal provisions from the beginning to ensure that the open source route can never be changed, Lin Yuan would still be willing to support him out of his own pocket.

Because for people like Lin Yuan, money is enough. In the foreseeable future, all kinds of enjoyment that humans can think of will be within his reach. So what is left in his heart? It is nothing more than wanting to contribute to the progress of human society during his lifetime.

Lin Yuan believes that this is the hidden vision in the heart of every rich person who still has good intentions.

Lin Yuan really wanted to ask Musk the question in person, but he had just almost severed ties with Musk, so he couldn't do such a cowardly thing at this moment.

So he had no choice but to ask Zhang Yan this question.

"Xiao Zhang, why would someone like Musk want to go into politics? He could have made his own way in the technology field. I really don't understand why he would backstab me just to make OpenAI open source again. Why doesn't he just start a new business?"

Compared to the anger at being disgusted by him, the doubts in my heart are even greater now."

Zhang Yan didn't think much about it. "If you can't figure out a problem by following a certain path, then the path you followed must be wrong."

Lin Yuan came to his senses. "Could it be that Musk wanted to go into politics? Is his image as a tech tycoon meant for this? My so-called goal is just a way for him to get there?"

"It's hard to say. I don't know much about technology. If Musk just sees technology as a stepping stone, then he won't really spend too much time on technology."

Lin Yuan thought about it, and then rejected his previous idea.

Because if you know a little bit, you will find that Musk's several major decisions are centered around emerging fields with no future. This can be interpreted as a speculative risk, but every time it happens, it cannot be denied that he is really obsessed with technology.

"But since he's so into technology, why doesn't he start his own business? Why does he hang out with the guys at Mar-a-Lago all the time? Look at me, I don't like being part of the system. What's wrong with being free and relaxed?"

Zhang Yan joked, "If you are in the system, your lifestyle is not up to standard."

After hearing this, Lin Yuan suddenly thought of Xia Ye, "I don't know how Xiao Xia is doing. Oh, when can we go back to the time when the four of us sat around a table?" "Tsk tsk~~" Zhang Yan pretended to be contemptuous, "As expected, you are so sanctimonious, saying such things so confidently. If it were a few decades ago, you would have been shot."

"Stop it, I'm still thinking about it." Lin Yuan didn't want to get involved in the topic of jealousy between women.

"From Musk's public image and my experience with him, I don't think he is a timid person. His behavior is not that of a person who endures burdens. So why is he so... so twisted?

If it were me, I would raise my arms and shout: AI practitioners around the world, unite and defeat the new evil dragons. Why do we need to persuade them with great sincerity and find someone to take the blame and force OpenAI to return to open source? "

"Ha~~" Zhang Yan sneered at this, "You are so noble. My good brother, can you use your brain to think about it? If something seems unreasonable at first glance, there must be something you don't know."

"Something I don't know?" Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment, "But I don't think Musk needs to hide anything from me about this matter. Besides, he has always admired me and always asked me to come over and work with him.

He couldn't possibly be lying to me.

I went to him to question him before, and he asked me to consider joining his efficiency department and becoming his assistant director.

There is no need for him to lie to me about this. I don’t see any benefit in doing so. . . ”

Zhang Yan let Lin Yuan chatter for a long time, and when he calmed down, he slowly spoke, "You are in great demand. The efficiency department on the other side is now known as the 'Western Factory', the largest and most powerful department.

If you become an assistant minister, it would be considered as entering the political circle on the other side of the strait.

Musk is now over 50, and you are only 25. His eldest son is useless, and his younger sons are too young. You are just the right person to be his successor. You will rise to prominence from now on. If you come back for a state visit one day, my father will not be qualified to shake your hand.

That’s not right. If you really want to go, you don’t need to look for me. There’s no way I’m going with you.”

"Oh my god," Lin Yuan pretended to be surprised and said, "What are you talking about? There are no rules in places like the other side of the strait. How dare I go there? Even the president can be beheaded. There are dozens of other powerful people who have been beheaded. I won't go there."

Zhang Yan said calmly, "Is this the reason why you don't want to go?"

"Well, it's mainly because I love the land that gave birth to me and raised me."

"Think again."

"Then what else?"

"What about me? You don't have me in your consideration?"

"Well," Lin Yuan was speechless again, "You are indeed a woman. No matter how smart a woman is, she is still a woman. Your world will always start from the entity of 'me'."

"Tsk~~," Zhang Yan raised his head, "Hmph, I won't mess with you anymore, let's get down to business. Let's analyze why Musk didn't start a new business in the field of AI."

"Do you have an answer?"

"There is no answer. But I know the answer comes from analysis."

Lin Yuan was then pulled into the bedroom by Zhang Yan, and the two planned to analyze the matter carefully.

I have to say that when it comes to this kind of sociological issue, Lin Yuan is really not as good as Zhang Yan.
