Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

"Use every means to fulfill our mission of this era!"

Luo Yonghao was distracted when he heard those words from Jiang Beicheng.

The voice of the backstage director came through the headset, but it didn't bring him back.

He remained in a daze for a long time.

The term "value function" is rarely heard from other entrepreneurs. After all, it's in a businessman's nature to pursue profit. At most, they might use words like "social responsibility" to cultivate a positive image as entrepreneurs.

Jiang Beicheng should be considered the first entrepreneur in the country to propose the concept of "value function".

Luo Yonghao interprets this term as satisfying the emotional value of an entrepreneur's personal life.

However, it is far less tall than Jiangbei City.

He has no right to mention the phrase "mission of our times" because of his meager abilities, low status, and lack of influence.

Jiang Beicheng's name sounds natural and fits his identity.

Compared to the lofty sense of responsibility of "mission of the times," Luo Yonghao was more curious about the "all means" mentioned by Jiang Beicheng.

He didn't dare ask any more questions, but he guessed that Jiang Beicheng was developing armed forces overseas as one of his methods.

However, compared to hardware measures, the unseen competition in software will be the most brutal battlefield in future technological wars.

Luo Yonghao realized that Jiangbei City's heavy investment in artificial intelligence was a powerful strategy.

Recovering from the shock, the interview with Jiang Beicheng continued, "Mr. Jiang, do you believe that AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) will be realized?"

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "The hardware intelligence is not yet at that level. I am not optimistic about it in the short term."

Luo Yonghao: "Does the hardware intelligent agent that President Jiang mentioned refer to robots?"

From what I understand, Mr. Jiang has also invested in a robotics company. Will the combination of large-scale AI models and robots end human civilization?

Jiang Beicheng: "I don't think so. There's a view that AI models have already surpassed humans and are considered omniscient and omnipotent software."

In my opinion, the big model is more like a person with schizophrenia, speaking human language to humans and ghost language to ghosts.

It has learned enough basic knowledge, videos, etc., which can give it a super strong knowledge base.

However, he does not yet possess the ability to calculate and deduce; I am referring here to the ability to deduce in basic science.

Simply put, the large model is still replicating human civilization, rather than creating a new one.

The combination of large models and robots is not just a simple combination of software and hardware. To achieve AGI and enable individual robots to develop self-awareness, this belongs to another research field.

Finally, I would like to say that the most indispensable factor in human civilization is the human capacity for collaboration. Through collaborative work, humans can create a value system that is more powerful than that of a single individual.

Therefore, the progress of human civilization is not entirely a one-way progress created by the brain. The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind is very macroscopic. Human beings cooperate with each other, pass on knowledge, make full use of resources, etc., which can make the human race as a whole generate infinite value.

I believe no AGI can unify human consciousness or determine the course of human civilization like a god.

Luo Yonghao was captivated by the audio.

The latitude that Jiangbei City analyzed is very deep.

He understood part of it, but he still needs to spend more time thinking about the rest in depth. However, President Jiang's point of view is clear.

AGI is unlikely to emerge in the short term, let alone eliminate humanity.

"It's been a long time since I've experienced the exhilaration of a collision of knowledge and ideas. Mr. Jiang, thank you again for being a guest on my interview program."

Luo Yonghao looked excited. Talking about these things with President Jiang was much more interesting than sharing business experience or learning about entrepreneurs' entrepreneurial histories.

It also has more depth.

"Mr. Jiang, the last question in today's interview is still about AI."

Luo Yonghao then asked, "Will the arrival of the AI ​​era reshape the global landscape?"

Jiang Beicheng: "That's for sure. On the surface, we think that the AI ​​competition is a competition of computing power and energy."

In fact, it's a higher-level arms race. I strongly agree with a statement made by Huawei's CEO, Ren Zhengfei: the AI ​​era is humanity's last technological revolution.

Historically, the first three technological revolutions have all altered the world order and the power structure.

Here we must mention the United States again, whose military hegemony, financial hegemony, and technological hegemony are all built on the foundation of technological revolution.

The AI ​​arms race in computing power and energy is more brutal than before.

It will be even more intense.

Luo Yonghao: "How long does Mr. Jiang think this competition will last?"

Or rather, do we have any hope of victory?

Jiang Beicheng: "I dare not say how long it will last, but I am certain that the most intense moment will come soon."

I am confident of winning this competition. This time, we may be able to shatter our opponents' illusions of centralizing computing power and achieving AI hegemony.

At least I have Mr. Ren and other entrepreneurs who have always been mindful of potential dangers even in times of peace.

Jiang Beicheng placed himself on the same level as Huawei's CEO, Ren Zhengfei.

He has great respect for Mr. Ren, but he has his own system, and after the next upgrade, he will be able to obtain the technology he wants from the system.

He may be questioned by society now, but once the patented technology is released, he will be a figure of the same caliber as Mr. Ren.

Luo Yonghao raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised that a 30-year-old youth could be so confident as to rival Ren Zhengfei, the CEO of Huawei.

However, Jiang Beicheng's eyes and expression showed no sign of guilt.

This inevitably leads people to speculate that Jiangbei City has been holding back many big moves.

Luo Yonghao: "Mr. Jiang, my heart is pounding with excitement."

Although it's not a great expectation, I'm eager to see your prediction come true, and even more eager to see how our domestic companies respond.
What is the attitude of entrepreneurs?

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "Then we'll wait and see."

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to be a guest on my interview program. The content of today's interview will be released on the internet no later than tonight. I also hope that Mr. Jiang can take some time to watch it and give me some valuable feedback." Luo Yonghao stood up and shook hands with Jiang Beicheng.

"I should be at my hotel in Bangkok tonight. I'll go see it when I have time."

Jiang Beicheng left Luo Yonghao's studio immediately after his visit.

We had lunch at the Beicheng Hotel Guozijian branch, and then went to the airport to catch our flight to Bangkok.

……

"Mr. Luo seems a bit nervous today, but we can edit it out later," the on-site director suggested.

Luo Yonghao glanced back and said, "Not a second cut."

It's normal to be nervous when meeting a guest of Mr. Jiang's stature.

However, what President Jiang talked about today is far more important than his personal state.

If, in an attempt to glorify himself, he uses post-production editing to conceal his nervousness and ask stupid questions, cutting Jiang's words into fragmented pieces, then this interview shouldn't continue.

Today's interview, especially the discussion on the AI ​​industry, will surely generate a huge social response.

It even affects the entire domestic AI industry.

The on-site director was intimidated by his stern gaze, nodded, and immediately went to do it.

In the afternoon, Jiang Beicheng was still resting on the business jet when the video of his appearance on Luo Yonghao's talk show today was already uploaded to the internet.

It instantly sparked nationwide discussion.

To the shock of the entire society, Jiang Beicheng's prediction during the interview came true.

Almost simultaneously, in the United States, with the support of the White House, OpenAI, in conjunction with Oracle and SoftBank, made a major move, launching the "Stargate" project, involving an investment of over $5000 billion. (End of Chapter)
