Top of the Great Era

Chapter 2978 Participating in a Big Event

Zhou Buqi’s current status is enough, and everyone will speak for him.

Even the two actresses he invited always showed their respect and admiration for him.

This interpersonal communication feels different.

For example, when Elon Musk and Larry Page get along in Silicon Valley, they are definitely good friends and can drink and chat happily. If there are some frictions in opinions, no one will give in, each sticks to his own opinion, and the worst that can happen is that they will break up.

In fact, these two people are really like this.

If it was Steve Jobs, it would be different.

It is difficult to approach a person like Steve Jobs with a normal attitude. He is a monumental figure in the technology industry. Even without the iPhone, he is still a god who is admired by everyone in Silicon Valley.

Even Musk would be humble and cautious when facing Jobs, and subconsciously put himself in a lower position. Even if he couldn't learn anything from him, a brief contact would be a good memory.

Later, the two had some differences in their views, and Jobs cursed Musk again, belittling him... Musk was quite happy, smiling foolishly and thinking that he was cool. The same thing happened to Larry Page. Larry Page didn't say anything harsh, just said that he had some kind of paranoia, and Musk couldn't stand it anymore, and almost got into a fight, and the two broke up. This led to Musk poaching a group of top artificial intelligence experts from Google, some of whom went to OpenAI and some went to Tesla to study autonomous driving.

  The impression Zhou Buqi gives people now is that of a new generation of Bill Gates and a new generation of Steve Jobs!

That was truly a groundbreaking figure.

It is a comprehensive and overwhelming leading advantage over peers.

  It was under this situation that Sam Ultraman was repeatedly "attacked". Several groups of people came out one after another to persuade him to follow Boss Zhou and create some great innovations together. Boss Zhou led Ziweixing International to create the mobile Internet era. Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that he will create the next artificial intelligence era!

If you have a dream, a lofty goal, and a grand ambition to change the world... then following Boss Zhou is the best choice!

Even Emilia, the heroine of Game of Thrones, said: "Mr. Zhou is really a legend. Without him, there would be no Game of Thrones. When everyone was worried about the risks brought by the huge investment, he pushed the project forward regardless of the consequences and gave the production team confidence. I will never forget the grace he showed when he spoke to us actors. And what he said at that time has really become a reality little by little. Many of us have already got roles in Hollywood blockbusters, and our careers have grown by leaps and bounds."

Zhou Buqi, however, was not in a hurry to come forward.

It wasn't until after dinner that he invited Sam Altman to take a walk on the beach.

Zhou Buqi was not in a hurry to recruit him. He smiled and said, "The Reddit deal is over, but the position of Reddit's CEO is vacant. Without you as the interim CEO, who should manage this project next?"

Sam Altman said: "You should have a lot of talents, right?"

Zhou Buqi nodded. "Indeed, Ziweixing has a product called Secret Circle in the domestic market. It is very similar to Reddit in style and is also an anonymous social network. It is very popular. However, due to some legal and policy restrictions, this product may be closed soon. Many people are very sad about this and feel disappointed that such an excellent product is closed due to force majeure. I intend to ask Tang Ming, the president of Secret Circle, to come here."

Sam Altman said: "I think so. The Yahoo miracle has infected everyone in Silicon Valley."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "You also said that it was a miracle. Miracles are hard to replicate. I think we can let him be an assistant first and observe and learn for a while."

Sam Altman said: "I am only the temporary CEO of Reddit. I am the temporary CEO for two main reasons. The first is to find a new round of financing for Reddit. Now it is not necessary. Reddit has been merged into Ziweixing International, which is the best choice. The second is to find a real CEO for Reddit."

"Oh? Has anyone chosen one?"

"Yes, I want to bring back Reddit's founder Stephen Hoffman and have him serve as CEO. He worked at Reddit for three years and served as CEO for three years. Later, Reddit was acquired by a media company. The two sides had ideological differences, so Hoffman left. I think he is the person who can best uphold Reddit's principles of anonymity and transparency."

"Have you talked to him?" Zhou Buqi was very satisfied when he heard it.

  This is a great choice!

The founder is like the child’s biological father, with whom he has the deepest emotional bond and can nurture and support the child’s development without considering his own interests.

Anonymous communities have a weakness, which means that users do not need real names, ages, genders, and profile pictures, which means that information cannot be tracked and personalized advertising cannot be pushed to different users. Without targeted advertising, advertising revenue will be greatly reduced.

Another point is that anonymous speech will make the speech more authentic, and there will be many remarks full of sex, violence, pornography, gambling and drugs.

Advertisers don’t like their own ads and don’t want to push them before or after these posts…

This will further lead to a reduction in advertising costs.

This is not quite the same as a secret circle.

Secret circles are on the same platform as interest circles and friend circles, but users are anonymous when they speak. However, to the platform, they are real, so targeted advertising can be delivered. This is not possible in the United States. You cannot use technical means to track users' privacy and then operate commercially. This will easily become a target of public criticism.

By calling back the founder to serve as Reddit's CEO, the company can effectively curb the temptation of profit and firmly implement the product positioning of anonymity and transparency. With the promotion of Ziweixing International's group resources, it will become the world's largest anonymous community.

Sam Altman said: "Well, I talked to him, and he said that he would come back after Reddit completed the financing. Now, the financing has not been done, but a bigger deal has been completed. If you need, I can contact him. I believe he will be willing to come back."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Okay, I believe in your vision! As long as he is willing to come, he will be the new CEO of Reddit."

Sam Altman could certainly feel his trust. He took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask, "What about me? Have you changed what you said last time?"

Zhou Buqi glanced at him and asked, "Are you willing to enter the artificial intelligence industry?"

"willing!"

“Working on the project of generative AI big model?”

"Correct!"

Sam Altman's response was decisive.

Zhou Buqi said: "Then you have to think carefully. This project is challenging the entire artificial intelligence industry. Including those AI scientists at Google, they are not optimistic about this direction and believe that general generative AI is a forbidden zone."

Sam Altman said: "I don't care if it's a restricted area."

"Then what do you care?"

“If the restricted area is opened, it will be a major event in human history. I want to participate in it and participate as a major person. I hope to use artificial intelligence to make the world more fair and beautiful!”
