Chapter 336 Fuxi
Whether the boss is willing to show up in public or not has little to do with the nature of the business, and has far more to do with his personality than with the business.

America's wealthy people generally prefer to speak in the media, whether it is about their own business, the entire industry, or some public affairs.

Let’s not talk about the wealthy people in recent decades. Musk, Zuckerberg, Buffett, etc. are all too familiar to everyone, and their voices can often be seen on social media.

Even if we trace back to the American billionaires of the last century, if Twitter had existed at that time, Edison would definitely have been an avid fan of Twitter.

He loved to be interviewed by the media and would not miss any opportunity to express his views in the media. In that era, in order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the invention of the electric light, Edison specially organized Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone to do a live radio interview.

The former was the founder of Ford Motor Company, and the latter was a famous rubber tycoon in America. The interview was not only broadcast to the entire United States, but even footage was specially recorded.

Compared with them, the wealthy people in the University of Tokyo generally prefer to maintain a sense of mystery.

This has cultural reasons and also the so-called original sin reason.

Chen Yuanguang is considered a wealthy man who often appears in public.

In Lin Jia's opinion, this is not enough.

She believes that Chen Yuanguang is different from other wealthy people who have original sins and worry about being liquidated one day. Chen Yuanguang should express his views more often in public.

To understand it in religious terms, once you have attained the status of a god, you need to spread more oracles and cultivate more believers.

What’s more important is that Chen Yuanguang’s influence is far from limited to the country. Unlike other wealthy people in Dongda whose influence is only limited to the country, his influence spreads all over the world.

The more developed a country, the greater Chen Yuanguang's influence.

Just because we can only cultivate shallow believers in China does not mean that we can only cultivate shallow believers abroad.

Lin Jia vaguely knew that Chen Yuanguang also had a considerable business in Malaysia. Although he didn't know the specific goal, it would definitely not be small.

The territories she knows alone include Malaysia's Alpha Technology and domestic light armor companies. Even if your goal is just the stars and the sea, and you hope to lead human society into the space age, you should also expand your influence around the world.

She didn't expect to convince Chen Yuanguang in one go, and didn't expect to become like Musk, yelling on Weibo whenever she had the chance.

Today he flirts with a female star on Weibo, tomorrow he posts two private photos, and the day after tomorrow he hosts a global live broadcast of a rocket launch.

As the contrast was maximized, the topic exploded.

Lin Jia hopes to slowly change Chen Yuanguang and make him change in this regard.

It is very difficult to change people's minds. Fortunately, Chen Yuanguang didn't want to reject Lin Jia on such a trivial matter.

“Okay, but ten episodes is too long.

Even if someone prepared a script for me, I wouldn't want to spend so much time on it.

One class is 40 minutes, plus the time for makeup before and after, it is at least an hour. Ten classes means ten hours, which is too long.

I thought I would kick off this series of open courses.

Then the rest of the content will be completed by Lu Qi and others.”

"Lu Qi?" Lin Jia asked.

Lu Qi had been out of the public eye since he left Baidu, but returned to the public eye after joining Guangjia Aerospace.

From the earliest robots recovering rocket debris, to Guangjia Aerospace's self-developed generative artificial intelligence in the aerospace field, to the HBM artificial intelligence model at the end of last year.

The boom in artificial intelligence technology in Guangjia Aerospace in the past two years has been attributed to Lu Qi by many people.

Of course, everyone does not think that Lu Qi has the research and development capabilities, but rather believes that his arrival made Chen Yuanguang realize the importance of artificial intelligence.

Various laboratories have successively verified the authenticity of HBM.

Among them, Mizuki University and the Chinese National Table Tennis Team cooperated to build a table tennis robot based on HBM technology. The robot's self-learning speed is far superior to any previous algorithm.

Even if the brain wave data is not enough, the upper limit of the table tennis robot built based on HBM technology is obviously higher than any technology known in the past.

After Europe completed the deal with the University of Tokyo, its universities and research institutes also began to carry out verification tests. The more verifications were done, the more people realized the awesomeness of HBM technology.

Because of this, HBM has just appeared in the world and has been hailed as the most famous discovery in the field of artificial intelligence and has become an unavoidable topic in all artificial intelligence forums.

During the current window period, any paper that demonstrates the authenticity of HBM technology can be published in a top computer-related journal.

Netizens joked that it was because of Lu Qi's joining that Chen Yuanguang devoted more energy to the field of artificial intelligence and created such a big thing as HBM.

Everyone is hoping that Lu Qi can do more work. Technical experts in Silicon Valley who know Lu Qi have called at academic conferences for Lu Qi to persuade Wright to devote his energy to the field of artificial intelligence instead of space mining.

“Space mining is of course meaningful, but the earth’s resources are far from being exhausted. The large-scale use of new energy sources has effectively improved the utilization rate of earth’s resources. The urgency of space mining is not that great.

Focusing our energy on the field of artificial intelligence can help humans free themselves from tedious work and allow them to devote their limited lives to more valuable things. I think this is more important than space mining.

Lu should have a good chat with Wright. Wright should become the Turing of the new century, not the von Bryan of the new century. "

Of course, this statement was refuted on the spot by a scholar from Dongda University, "I think Wright's achievements in the field of artificial intelligence are no less than Turing's. If we evaluate him a hundred years later, it is not an exaggeration to say that his achievements in artificial intelligence far surpass Turing."

Young scholars at the University of Tokyo who have not been influenced by Western-centric thinking almost subconsciously want to refute the claim that Chen Yuanguang is the next Western academic giant.

The emergence of HBM also gives them the confidence.

However, as scholars in the field of artificial intelligence, they also agree with this statement.

HBM alone can generate so many papers. It’s a gold mine.

If Chen Yuanguang devotes all his energy to the field of artificial intelligence in the future, we, as scholars at Donghua University, will have the advantage of being close to him and benefit from it.

Just like applying for natural science funds and following the young scholars who can appear in HBM-related papers, these young scholars can get special treatment based on this paper and get teaching positions directly without going through a complete assessment cycle.

In this era when positions are more valuable than gold, although it is only an associate professorship, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a waste of time. It is precisely because Lin Jia often hears such remarks on social media, in her backstage private messages, and in discussions among people around her that she feels that Chen Yuanguang needs to fully publicize what he wants to do.

The Nobel Prize in Physics and the great success of HBM have blurred Chen Yuanguang's image in the public's mind. You are good at computers and physics. Can commercial aerospace really give full play to your strengths?

There are even rumors that it was under Lin Jia's manipulation that Chen Yuanguang focused his energy on space mining, and they found a lot of evidence to support this statement.

The most powerful evidence is that none of Chen Yuanguang's early papers were related to aerospace technology.

"That's right. I'll shoot the beginning. We shouldn't let our employees record the subsequent courses. We can just let them do this series of courses based on our internal data."

Artificial intelligence video generation is already very mature, and if it is just a series of courses, then the technology will be even simpler.

Generative artificial intelligence generates manuscripts, and then uses artificial intelligence to generate a digital person to read the manuscript. This is what self-media did a few years ago.

“Of course, the final result will definitely not be the same low-quality self-media, where a digital person reads a script.

Not only will it fail to achieve the promotional effect, it may even have a counterproductive effect.

I will tell Lu Qi to make a good video.

I think this is a good opportunity to promote our upcoming Fuxi."

Fuxi is an academic paper platform funded by Guangjia Aerospace.

HowNet has always been the largest academic paper platform in China. There are many academic paper platforms, but none can compare with HowNet.

HowNet has the most comprehensive data, and precisely because of its monopoly advantage in paper resources, HowNet is extremely unreasonable in its charging practices. Paper authors do not make any money, and major universities have to spend huge sums of money every year to buy data from HowNet. From students to teachers, everyone is dissatisfied with HowNet.

But you just can't get rid of HowNet. The reason is that HowNet is backed by Tongfang, a state-owned enterprise that holds 100% of the shares.

Of course, Visual China, which is criticized by the public, cannot be eliminated even if it is not a state-owned enterprise, let alone CNKI.

Chen Yuanguang wanted to launch Fuxi to compete with CNKI, not because he had suffered from CNKI and was dissatisfied with it, but because the GPT used within Guangjia Aerospace had been very effective in the past.

The GPT trained by Guangjia Aerospace using its own data has achieved good results. After Lu Qi came, he naturally wanted to expand the scale and develop it into a GPT in a professional field.

Lu Qi first cooperated with the aerospace majors of domestic universities to obtain their professional data to feed the model, and then gave the GPT to students and professors of these universities.

As a professional GPT, Guangjia GPT has a very good reputation after being promoted in a small range. Everyone agrees that it is even more professional than Tencent's Hornbill AI.

It was precisely because of such favorable conditions that Lu Qi had the idea of ​​turning Light Mech GPT into a professional GPT in the academic field.

Well, since this is what we are going to do, whether it is the data needs for training models or the fact that CNKI itself has a bad reputation, why doesn't Guangjia Aerospace take advantage of the situation to launch an academic paper platform that not only collects papers but also provides search and download functions to the majority of users?

Based on this logic, Fuxi was born.

What academic platforms need most is authorization. CNKI buys these papers from universities and academic journals, and the annual copyright fee is only 1.5 million yuan, which is a small amount for Guangjia Aerospace.

However, Guangjia Aerospace wanted to develop Fuxi and had signed cooperation agreements with mainstream domestic universities. This news was a bolt from the blue for CNKI.

In the past, there were many domestic academic platforms, and some academic platforms directly funded by the country were completely free. However, these platforms were unable to compete with CNKI for various reasons.

Either it is not famous enough, or the data is not complete enough, or the school only checks on the Cognitive Network for plagiarism.

Although CNKI seems to have no monopoly, it actually occupies a monopoly ecological niche.

If Guangjia Aerospace takes action personally, all problems can be solved, whether it is the integrity of the paper resources or reputation, these are not a problem.

Considering that Chen Yuanguang has received the greatest official support from Southeast University in the academic field, if Guangjia Aerospace launches an academic platform, it is possible that relevant departments will personally step in to help him promote it.

At least the Nature Foundation will definitely support Chen Yuanguang.

Naturally, CNKI could not sit idly by and wait for death. It has been complaining to the gods, saying how difficult its life is and how it has made outstanding contributions to the academic communication of the University of Tokyo.

There was no movement from Guangjia Aerospace for a while, and CNKI thought that its help from the gods had worked, but it didn't know that Guangjia Aerospace was just doing model training before going public.

After all, the data purchased from major universities and journals must be fed before the trained academic AI can be put to use.

"I guess CNKI will feel like it's a bolt from the blue. Now that Fuxi is free, CNKI's survival space will be infinitely close to zero." Lin Jia sighed.

Just because Chen Yuanguang has no resentment towards CNKI doesn’t mean that Lin Jia has no resentment towards CNKI.

When she graduated from college, she was tortured by the plagiarism check on CNKI.

Chen Yuanguang was already a big shot who had published in Nature when he was a senior, so it was impossible for him to be blocked by plagiarism checks. However, it is very easy to be blocked by plagiarism checks on economics papers. After all, there are only so many clichés and it is difficult to avoid them completely.

Lin Jia's mentality on this matter is very similar to that of netizens, and he is eager to die on the Internet.

Moreover, Fuxi is not completely free. Fuxi consists of two parts: academic platform and Fuxi AI. The former is free, while the latter Fuxi AI requires a monthly fee.

"They either have to keep up, or package and sell it to big companies like Tencent or Alibaba, and then Tencent and Alibaba will make a product similar to Fuxi and charge for it," Chen Yuanguang judged.

Lin Jia shook his head: "It's unrealistic. It's too easy to make money lying down. It's impossible for them to transform into artificial intelligence now without selling data.

This is just as unrealistic as asking local state-owned car manufacturers to transform into producing hydrogen-powered vehicles.

I think it will struggle for a few years and then be sold to a big company.”

Lu Qi discussed the issue of Fuxi being free with some scholars from universities. This is really bad news for CNKI.

They first found a lobbyist with some weight, first talked to Lu Qi, and then talked to Lin Jia. The general idea was that if you provide it for free, it would be vicious competition.

After Chen Yuanguang announced the HBM technology, no one came to lobby for it anymore because it was meaningless.

Chen Yuanguang has proved through HBM that he is effective in managing the Natural Science Foundation. So if he wants to play a greater role in the academic field and go further and build an academic platform, no one will be blind enough to stop him.
