Xueba's computing system

Chapter 85 Workplace PUA1
What seemed like a magical operation to Da Zhang was too easy for Lin Yuan.

It's just a matter of moving your fingers and tapping a few keys on the keyboard in the background of the good group.

Lin Yuan didn't plan to have anything to do with Liu Huzi anymore, and he wouldn't really give him a bad review because it was really unnecessary.

Reality is not a happy story. If someone offends you, you don't have to kill the whole family. The logic of reality is - don't chase the desperate enemy.
-
Time flies, and the second week of algorithm testing passed in the blink of an eye.

The algorithm produced by the system did not cause any problems, but the real trouble lay in the demands made by the good group on Lin Yuan.

Simple people always focus on how to plant peach trees, while cunning people have already been planning how to divide the peaches.

Vice President of Technology Liu Zhang has asked Lin Yuan for technical details of the algorithm many times, and has also promised him a promotion, a salary increase, and option dividends.

Lin Yuan knew that this was the "courtesy" that came before force.

Although my algorithm is not based on Haotuan, from a legal perspective, Haotuan has ownership rights. This is helpless, but this is the rule of reality.

Therefore, Lin Yuan naturally had to give it, but fortunately, there was no standard answer to what counted as details and what did not count as technical details, so Lin Yuan had plenty of room for maneuver.

The algorithm he provided to Haotuan is a complete AI model based on deep neural networks.

Lin Yuan did not waste time writing any documentation for the model code, he just threw the source code to the good team. To paraphrase the words of the great god Linus - talk is cheap, show me the code.

As for software, the source code is provided, and whether there are comments or documentation only affects the time it takes to understand it.

Haotuan organized people to disassemble the algorithm overnight. Soon, they came to the conclusion that the algorithm could be used. However, they had two major questions.

First, why is the current model structure like this, and what is the evolution process of this model structure?

Second, how are the pre-training parameters obtained?

In other words, they also know that this is a standard answer, but they want to know the solution process of the standard answer.

It was naturally impossible for Lin Yuan to tell them the solution process, because even he himself did not know the systematic solution process.

"I still want to know."

AI is just a big black box.

Lin Yuan just threw the data into the system, and no one knew how the system calculated it internally.

Just like the team of engineers who created chatGPT, they themselves don’t know what any of the hundreds of billions of parameters in chatGPT are used for.

Just like a person doesn’t know how much work a specific cell in his body has done today.

Lin Yuan’s response was: AI is a natural talent, it was discovered by chance.

What can you do?

Go to court?

Save it.

Because the spirit of modern jurisprudence is that whoever questions must provide evidence.

If the good team doubts that Lin Yuan has hidden the model evolution process, then they have to provide evidence. Lin Yuan can just make up some model evolution process by himself. Anyway, the process of AI training is to fit continuously. In human terms: it is to make up the answer.

This is a process full of uncertainty, so from a technical perspective you cannot prove that someone deliberately concealed a process that is inherently uncertain.

Moreover, the legal provisions support the company's ownership of the fruits of its employees' labor. However, it is questionable whether the scope of labor fruits includes the process of model evolution.

Haotuan already has a bad reputation nowadays, and if it really gets out of hand, it could easily be interpreted as an attempt to get employees to reveal their own thought patterns.

Thinking patterns and work results are two different things.

The fruits of labor are the product of the mindset. The legal provisions clearly support the company's ownership of the fruits of labor, not the employees' personal thoughts.

Otherwise, it means that when you work for a company, not only your work results belong to the company, but also your work experience belongs to the company, because the thinking mode is the crystallization of work experience.

How can this be tolerated?
Doesn't it mean that everyone has to pay training fees to the company when they leave?

Therefore, Lin Yuan had nothing to fear.

But what refreshed his understanding was that after the good group’s first courtesy failed, they still resorted to the method of later use of force.

On Monday morning of the third week after Lin Yuan officially joined the company, he was sitting in the back row of the classroom with a cup of soy milk. As usual, he opened his mailbox to handle work emails when he unexpectedly received a letter from the legal department of Haotuan.

This is a legal warning letter with tactful but strong tone regarding Lin Yuan's concealment of his personal work results.

Lin Yuan was a little confused for a moment, but he quickly reacted.

"It's finally here. As expected of a commercial company, I won't laugh with you."

As soon as he got out of class, he found his instructor and told him about the matter.

"Today, the teacher will teach you a lesson that you cannot learn in class." Professor Zhang closed the door of his office.

"Call your boss. He should be the one playing the good cop."

Lin Yuan did as he was told with suspicion, "Hello, Mr. Liu, today..." He subconsciously explained to his leader with an uneasy and flustered tone that he had received a legal letter this morning.

"There is such a thing?" Liu Zhang's tone sounded extremely shocked. "This is outrageous. Wait a minute, I will ask the headquarters to see who is behind this. Relax and work hard. With me here, no one can do anything to you."

After the call was hung up, Professor Zhang, who was sitting with his legs crossed, said calmly, "Wait a few minutes, he will call you soon. He will first comfort you and tell you how he argued with the headquarters to save you. Finally, he will tactfully persuade you to hand over the algorithm."

Five minutes later, Vice President of Technology Liu Zhang really called.

Professor Zhang gestured for Lin Yuan to answer the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Liu."

"Lin Yuan, I have found out the situation. The legal department at the headquarters is too ruthless. I have told them that you are too busy recently. It's not that you don't provide the algorithm, but you just don't have time recently. Don't worry, I have explained it to you.

After all, you are still a first-year graduate student. How can they threaten you with your career? I have talked to them. You should just focus on your own things.

You still need to elaborate on the technical explanation document related to this algorithm. To avoid such misunderstandings. "

Professor Zhang next to him laughed when he heard this, which made Lin Yuan feel a little embarrassed, but he was already used to his fierce and aggressive mentor.

"Turn on speakerphone." Professor Zhang has stood up.

Lin Yuan did the same.

"It's me, from Zijin Aviation School, Zhang Deshun."

Liu Zhang on the other end of the phone was visibly stunned. "Zhang, Professor Zhang is here too. Xiaolin, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

It was as if he was caught in the act of a major scam. No wonder Liu Zhang felt so embarrassed.

"Mr. Liu, I have been working for more than 30 years and I consider myself a veteran in the domestic IT industry."

"Yes, yes, you are our senior."

"I don't deserve to be called a senior. Lin Yuan is a student of me, Zhang. As an elder, I have to care about him."
