Xueba's computing system

Chapter 276 Chat
Musk continued, "Lin, you know what. We have high hopes for AI. We hope that AGI will be born one day. Then we can rely on this advanced big guy to achieve the crushing of industrial civilization over agricultural civilization..."

Lin Yuan naturally understood what "AGI" was. The so-called AGI refers to general artificial intelligence.

Musk's AGI refers to the application of AI to all walks of life, especially in the field of scientific research. The most obvious example is the field of biological molecular deconstruction research, which is a field with established paths and paradigms but requires a large amount of high-IQ human input. These fields are most suitable for AI to play a role.

When AI relies on its powerful computing power to surpass the human brain in the field of scientific research, and when AI solves those scientific research problems that have plagued mankind, won’t that be the realization of the victory of industrial civilization over agricultural civilization?

It can be said that the current national policy of the Eagle Sauce is to frantically click on the AI technology tree in an attempt to make a super plug-in. Because if there is no plug-in, it will never be able to beat the Dragon Kingdom.

Elites like Musk have clear minds. The biggest advantage of the Eagle Sauce is: low human rights.

Only by relying on this advantage, can they attract smart people from all over the world with high welfare, and use the education and medical resources that should be distributed to the poor to recruit smart people from all over the world. Only in this way can they hope to gather the intelligence of the world to defeat the Dragon Kingdom.

Musk's words remain the same, "Our Stargate has closed before it has even opened. It's ridiculous to think about it."

The "Stargate Project" is the AGI grand strategy that the United States plans to build at a cost of 5000 billion US dollars.

Lin Yuan continued, "It is indeed difficult for Stargate to continue. You can't pay the 5000 billion, so you go to your allies to ask for money. But now DS-R1 is open source, and your allies are thinking, wow, it turns out that developing AI doesn't cost so much money, so why don't I do it myself?

So, haha."

"You're right. Originally, we were counting on the Stargate Project to pass on R&D funding to our allies, and at the same time, we could use the R&D funding to tie our allies firmly to our chariots. If they invest, they will definitely want to get a piece of our future AGI grand strategy.

This is similar to recreating a WTO in the field of AI, a new AI cooperation organization that completely excludes you.

But now, you guys..."

“We overturned the tables.”

"I have to admit that it is true."

As soon as DS-R1 was open sourced, even a joke country like India built its own large language model in a short period of time and obtained the qualifications to participate in the AI field, let alone other countries.

“In fact, we have done this kind of thing before.

Do you remember your Middle Ages? The era when knowledge was copied on parchment. In that era, knowledge had to be attached to power. Power monopolized the access to knowledge. However, our papermaking and movable type printing broke this monopoly.

Then, ordinary people could afford to read books and acquire knowledge. Then you discovered the absurdity of theocracy, and the foundation of the Renaissance was laid.

And your Stargate is nothing more than an attempt by the New Age to use power to monopolize knowledge.

When AI is linked to large capital investment and closed source, only you who have mastered large models and GPU computing cards are qualified to decide who can use AI and who cannot. Isn't this the monopoly of knowledge in the new era?

But human beings have long been disgusted and disgusted with the monopoly of knowledge.

Have you forgotten the birthplace of the open source spirit? It was you who shouted out "knowledge should be as free as air."

Original intention, what is your original intention? "

"Lin, seriously, you almost made me cry."

"Sorry, I'm not complaining about you. I'm taking this opportunity to talk to you and complain about your current situation."

"I know. AI should be open source. Isn't that the original intention when I founded OpenAI? If chatGPT had not been closed source, DS-R1 would not have been as successful as it is today. Even if DS-R1 has made a breakthrough, people will think that it is due to the open source of chatGPT.

The first-mover advantage is what I always insist on.

If it were open source from the beginning, DS-R1 would most likely be born based on chatGPT, and it might become a branch of chatGPT.

This will prevent us from monetizing chatGPT in the short term, but it will be effective in the long run for our Stargate project.

However, we have failed since the day chatGPT became closed source.

Our own people have already scolded openai as closeai, and our own engineers have been disappointed with chatGPT, and they are even happy to see the success of DS-R1. So, we personally handed the hilt of the sword to you.

I feel helpless!

Not only can I not stop this from happening, I also have to help them destroy our own credit.

I can guess what's going to happen next.

You will definitely insist on taking the open source path, but our chatGPT is involved in too many interests and cannot be open source at least in the short term.

Even if it becomes open source in the future, it will be criticized as a loser who was forced to compromise.

Those open source enthusiasts will worry that chatGPT will be closed source again one day, so they will naturally choose to join DS, and then you will take the opportunity to unite our allies. Relying on the conspiracy you have always emphasized, unite our allies to promote AI open source and make us the embodiment of evil.

But this is exactly the route I had envisioned. I had thought of it all. Really, Lin, I had thought of this a long time ago.

You see, I succeeded with Tesla. I used my first-mover advantage to succeed under such adverse circumstances. I couldn't pile up materials, so I used the most ordinary and straightforward method to achieve the highest profit margin in the industry.

I’m good at this kind of success . . . ”

Musk was even a little excited.

“Look at my rockets at SpaceX. We have also succeeded. Your country’s space agency has even begun to refer to our designs.

But, I am helpless in AI, I can't make all the decisions. I think we are doomed in AI.

WTF! Our allies will never stand by us."

“Yes. Because your allies will eventually find that instead of paying you hundreds of billions of dollars in exchange for a ticket to participate in the future of AI, it is better to embrace open source and use that money to build their own AI system.

The latter can be controlled in your own hands, but the former requires you to spend money and still have to endure your anger.

Your AI strategy itself does not intend to bring your allies along.

And each of us will settle accounts, and who would be against money? "

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this... Anyway, no matter how much we talk, it won't change anything. Sometimes I feel desperate, but I will persist, because this is life...

Lin, you know, I look at you as if you were my heir.

We are both strong supporters of technological progress.”

"No, we have some similarities, but we also have some differences."

"Huh? Really?"

"I'm not as extreme as you. In your eyes, ordinary people can be sacrificed for technology, but I don't think so. Simply put, your point of view is: give civilization years, and my point of view is: give years civilization."

"What's the meaning."

“Technology should serve people, not just satisfy your curiosity.”

"Okay. That's our disagreement. But at least we all agree that technology should improve."

"At this point, yes. Elon, seriously, if it doesn't work, why don't you come over here."

"What? Don't make such a joke. You and I both know that humans have not yet developed to the point where they can put aside their ethnic prejudices."

“Haha~~” Lin Yuan smiled, which was considered as his agreement.
