Chapter 337 Fuxi's Release
"It's no use I've told you a long time ago. Guangjia Aerospace wants to do this, and CNKI cannot stop it." Li Xinwan looked as if he had known this all along.
Li Xinwan has many identities, such as professor at Jiaotong University, director of Jiaotong University Think Tank Center, director of Jiaotong University Library, etc., but the position that makes him connected with Xiao Hong, deputy general manager of CNKI sitting in front of him, can be traced back to his role as chairman of the CNKI User Committee.
When CNKI received the news that Guangjia Aerospace was going to build an academic platform, the top management of CNKI panicked and felt that everyone was doomed.
When giants like Guangjia Aerospace enter the academic platform industry, CNKI can't even survive one round. There is no such thing as a strong dragon defeating a local snake.
Xiao Hong ran to ask Li Xinwan if he had any suggestions, just like the internet celebrity who was named and wanted to find someone to struggle with before the verdict was announced.
Li Xinwan directly said don’t struggle, it is impossible for you to stop Guangjia Aerospace from doing this business.
Shenhai Jiaotong University is the first batch of universities to use GPT within Guangjia, and Li Xinwan knows very well how useful this thing is.
Therefore, building an academic platform is a win-win situation for Guangjia Aerospace. It has cultivated its own GPT model, gained both reputation and profits. How could it just not do it?
But considering their past friendship, Li Xinwan still pointed a way out for Xiao Hong, which was to talk to Guangjia Aerospace through Shuimu University.
What Li Xinwan said at the time was that the most you can ask for is that Guangjia Aerospace should not be free, and that everyone should compete by charging a fee. It is impossible for you to continue to monopolize this market.
Obviously, CNKI did not listen to them and asked someone to mediate, trying to prevent Guangjia Aerospace from entering this field.
The final outcome is that Guangjia Aerospace will launch Fuxi this year, and it will be useless even if the gods intervene.
"Alas, Guangjia Aerospace is too overbearing. They said they would not leave any way for us to survive if they wanted to enter this industry." Xiao Hong looked very depressed.
In the past, HowNet was a company with an annual profit of 10 billion. As the vice president, he was able to share a lot of the benefits. However, after Guangjia Aerospace launched Fuxi this year, HowNet's profits were at least halved, and his income will also be affected.
Fuxi's artificial intelligence has launched multiple rounds of testing. HowNet, as the industry leader, has also received the news and obtained a detailed evaluation report.
After reading the report, Xiao Hong was very pessimistic. This was not something that CNKI could produce.
ChatGPT is a product of 22 years. In the past five years, countless companies have built their own large models around ChatGPT-related technologies.
HowNet is backed by Tsinghua Tongfang. Tsinghua Tongfang has mastered two of the three elements of artificial intelligence: data, computing power, and algorithms. With HowNet, the most comprehensive scientific research data, Tsinghua Tongfang has cooperated with Huawei to develop AI servers based on Huawei's Ascend and Ark chips.
In the Tongfang Co., Ltd. stock forum, investors (leeks) who supported Tongfang with real money all expected Tongfang to create a GPT dedicated to the scientific research field based on CNKI. Even before any results were achieved, Oriental Fortune and 10jqka took the lead in adding the ChatGPT concept label to Tongfang Co., Ltd.
The result is that five years have passed, and CNKI is still CNKI, still an academic platform for information collection and distribution, and it is still thriving by sucking the blood of scientific researchers. It couldn't be done five years ago, and even if it is done five years later, how can it compete with Guangjia Aerospace?
During the process of Guangjia Aerospace working on Fuxi, CNKI did a lot of tricks. First, it tried to find someone to mediate, and after the mediation failed, it began to try to delay the time for Guangjia Aerospace to obtain authorization from major universities and journals.
What is needed to build an academic platform is intellectual property authorization.
But these are of no use. Whether it is universities or journals, no one has the motivation.
Let’s not talk about the fact that universities have long been dissatisfied with CNKI, with price increases every year, often by as much as 10%. Guangjia Aerospace has created this platform for everyone to use for free. Someone has taken the lead in making it free, so why shouldn’t we cooperate?
From the perspective of interests alone, no one wants to offend Guangjia Aerospace without damaging their own interests. Besides, Guangjia Aerospace's offer is much more generous than CNKI's.
"This is the wheel of the times. Even if there is no light armor aerospace this time, wouldn't Alibaba, Tencent, and Huawei do it?
The online ride-hailing industry, which involves millions of people, will soon be replaced by driverless cars, so how many jobs will be created on the academic platform?
The concept of "too big to fail" no longer exists. All past business models are facing restructuring. HowNet has enjoyed the dividends of the times for 20 years, and that's enough." Li Xinwan understood Xiao Hong's inner reluctance.
But this unwillingness is not worth mentioning in the face of the times.
"Old Xiao, do you know why I told you it was useless at the beginning?
My advice to you is to find someone to mediate, and don't think about asking Guangjia Aerospace to stop doing this. Think about asking Guangjia Aerospace not to do it for free.
If it’s not free, there’s still something to play.
After all, HowNet is fairly well-known and has a stable customer base, and it can survive for a few more years. Perhaps when artificial intelligence technology develops further, you will be able to create a GPT similar to Fuxi.
But you didn’t listen to me.” Li Xinwan said.
Xiao Hong's regret was written all over his face, he said helplessly: "The boss wants to do this, I am a vice president with little influence, my opinion is useless.
Their idea is to take the best and get the best.”
What I am asking for is that you don't steal my job. If you don't agree to this, then I will take a step back and ask you not to do it for free and leave some food for me.
As a result, it was obvious that Guangjia Aerospace was about to overturn the table.
Li Xinwan could understand Xiao Hong very well. When your leader disagrees with you, it is very difficult to convince him on your own.
What's more, what the other party said made sense and was in line with normal logic. Xiao Hong couldn't possibly say, "My friend told me this, and I think we should listen to my friend."
Li Xinwan is only a professor, not the president of Jiaotong University. His words do not carry enough weight. He shook his head helplessly:
"Okay, you know who the armor in the light armor is, right?"
Xiao Hong showed a trace of envy in his eyes: "Of course I know, Lin Jia, you are really lucky."
In previous videos on TikTok and Bilibili, Ding Zhen was described as the successor of Hongyun Qitian Gu.
What is this "Innocence is the invincible path, why bother reading books by sages"?
There are still many such meme videos, but there are many doubts in the comments below, as to who between Ding Zhen and Lin Jia got the Hongyun Qitian Gu.
Netizens joked that Lin Jia’s Hongyun Qitian Gu was the authentic one, and the one Ding Zhen got was at best a replica.
It is almost a consensus that no matter how capable Lin Jia is, outsiders will subconsciously think that she is just lucky.
So much so that in the question about Lin Jia on Zhihu, some netizens spoke up for Lin Jia, saying roughly: Lin Jia has a bachelor's degree from Jiangcheng University and a master's degree from Columbia University, and his family is also well-off. It is more like a curse than a blessing to be with Chen Yuanguang, and all his efforts and hard work will be said to be luck.
The netizens who responded to this kind of answer all said, "Can I rely on luck?" I don't mind others saying that I rely on luck.
In such an environment of public opinion, it is normal for Xiao Hong to have similar cognition.
Li Xinwan nodded: "Yes, Guangjia Aerospace has always been in Shenhai. In the early days, they helped Lin Jia contact Jiaotong University, and then arranged for Lin Jia to come to Jiaotong University to take a year of basic courses at the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
I am very familiar with the professor who taught Lin Jia. His evaluation of Lin Jia is that he has high IQ and EQ, is quick to react, has his own thoughts on many things, but is too shrewd.
There's a kind of shrewdness that makes people feel uncomfortable.
The School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Jiaotong University not only teaches aerospace-related knowledge, but also aviation-related knowledge. There is a course called Airworthiness Management and Conformity Verification, which mainly discusses what conditions an aircraft must meet before it can be officially put into use.
At that time, hadn't the domestic fighter jet C919 just obtained its airworthiness certificate in the country and was ready for use?
The professor then asked everyone, do you think C919 is safe? Are you willing to ride in C919? If not, what are your standards?
Everyone is demonstrating the maturity of the technology from a technical perspective, and discussing whether the standards are set high enough based on the conformity verification that the C919 has already passed.
Do you know what Lin Jia said? "
Celebrity gossip is always attractive, and Xiao Hong listened to it with great interest, as this was Lin Jia's first-hand gossip.
Whenever Lin Jia is discussed online, it's considered good luck, but what Li Xinwan revealed was obviously another Lin Jia who had not been reported in the media.
"What did you say?" Xiao Hong asked.
"Lin Jia said that he was waiting to see when the top leaders would change the private plane from a Boeing 747 to a domestically produced large aircraft, and he would be willing to ride it if that happened," said Li Xinwan.
After listening to it, Xiao Hong applauded and said, "Very insightful, very insightful.
Lin Jia is very capable. Others analyze technology, but she analyzes human nature."
Li Xinwan also smiled and said, "Yes, it is indeed insightful. There are many similar things. This answer made the professor I know feel that Lin Jia was a little too smart.
Of course, I also heard some things from other professors.
That's why I suggest you to make the Light Armor Aerospace not free.
There are two voices inside Guangjia Aerospace, one is Chen Yuanguang and the other is Lin Jia.
What is Chen Yuanguang's nickname? Guang Shen, there is only a wrong name, not a wrong nickname.
He wants to become a god, so reputation is far more important to him than monetary gains. It is based on this idea that he wants to open source HBM technology.
What God considers is different from what the secular world considers. Building an academic platform further consolidates one's reputation. Therefore, it is impossible for CNKI to stop Chen Yuanguang in this matter.
But you can persuade Lin Jia. A woman like her who is very calculating can be persuaded.
If you had convinced Lin Jia from the perspective of interests at that time, even if Guangjia Aerospace's academic platform charged fees, it would have been able to defeat CNKI with its unique GPT.
It is easy to provide services for free now, but if it is free first and then charged, even for Guangjia Aerospace, it will be difficult to convince the public to accept this.
Instead of doing this, it is better to charge a fee from the beginning. Charging a fee will only bring benefits and no harm to Guangjia Aerospace.
If you can convince Lin Jia, you might be able to do it. But it's too late now."
Xiao Hong remained silent, took a long sigh, and then said, "Old Li, one wrong step leads to all the wrong steps."
It’s actually useless.
Because what they didn't know was that it was not Chen Yuanguang himself who wanted Chen Yuanguang to become the God of Light, but Lin Jia.
Holding a ticket to the future, Chen Yuanguang never doubted whether he could become a god in the future.
Only Lin Jia would want to use all means to shape and consolidate the statue.
Chen Yuanguang never worried about this. He knew very well what he could do and what kind of drastic changes he could bring to human society.
"I am very glad that you all came to the launch event of the Guangjia Aerospace Fuxi Academic Platform."
Guangjia Aerospace rarely does to C business, and even if it does, the products are not affordable for ordinary people.
Satellite launching, lunar cemeteries, and possible future space tourism have nothing to do with ordinary people.
It would definitely be shocking if the Moon Cemetery held a press conference and made a concept promotional video, but considering that Superman Li had placed an order, no press conference was held for fear of being criticized.
This time Fuxi is going to do something big.
We invited a group of media to attend the press conference and broadcast it live on all platforms.
"Fuxi was the first of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. In the fishing and hunting era when labor skills were low, he invented nets for fishing, hunting beasts and catching birds, and pioneered animal husbandry. When our ancestors were ignorant, he created the Eight Diagrams to turn ignorance into wisdom; when people were divided into groups, he established surnames to give our ancestors family symbols.
We named it Fuxi to illustrate Guangjia Aerospace’s ambition in this academic platform. We hope to become the most trusted and professional knowledge service provider for users around the world and facilitate the dissemination and sharing of knowledge resources for the whole society.”
Lin Jia said a lot, but without Chen Yuanguang's appearance, netizens were somewhat uninterested.
After all, scientific research is only related to a small number of people. For the general public, they will have no chance to publish papers after graduation.
A few are happy:
"We have been unhappy with CNKI for a long time, and Guangjia Aerospace is finally going to reorganize CNKI."
"Come on, Guangshen, take down CNKI as soon as possible."
The first highlight of the press conference came from the charging standards.
Lin Jia talked about how difficult it was for his colleagues at Guangjia Aerospace, who talked to journals and universities one by one and made tremendous efforts to make Fuxi an academic platform with data integrity no less than that of CNKI from the very beginning.
“The papers on the Fuxi platform will be completely free, and users will not have to pay any fees to download the papers.
Fuxi is a purely public welfare academic platform that was built by Guangjia Aerospace over a year.
For this project, Guangjia Aerospace has to spend 2 million yuan every year, but in order to promote academic dissemination, we resolutely chose to provide it for free. "
There was a round of applause from the audience.
Because the media is also troubled by CNKI, when people write in-depth reports, they hope to find relevant papers to read. Many times, they spend money for no reason and the company does not reimburse them. With Fuxi, the burden on media practitioners has been reduced.
“In addition to the academic platform, we have also created a generative artificial intelligence called Fuxi based on all academic-related materials.
It is the first generative artificial intelligence in China that can be used specifically for academic research.
The biggest feature of Fuxi AI is its accuracy, which is comparable to that of Hornbill AI.”
