When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Brain-to-brain neural connectivity technology!
When Jack Ma heard Masla propose such a bold and sci-fi idea, he immediately burst out laughing.

"Humanity's best resource is its brain. At the same time, the human brain cannot be controlled by AI. I don't think the brain neural connection technology you mentioned is a good technological choice. Humans cannot create something smarter than themselves."

Masla seemed unsurprised by Jack Ma's answer and chuckled softly.

"No, I think you're wrong. The most common mistake smart people make is thinking they're very smart."

Masla was no longer willing to tolerate it. After so many discussions with Jack Ma, he had realized that Jack Ma and he were not on the same wavelength at all.

He talks about science, the future, and technology, but Jack Ma only talks empty words.

Communicating with Jack Ma is a complete waste of time.

Thinking this way, Masla naturally showed it in his actions.

Jack Ma, provoked by Masla's retort, immediately sat up straight and retorted sharply, "What human creation is smarter than humankind?"

A serious look appeared in his eyes, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense.

Masla remained completely unfazed and calmly stated, "AlphaGo!"

Jack Ma instantly recalled the information about AlphaGo and said, "Computers may be smarter, but humans have more wisdom. Intelligence and wisdom are different."

“We always talk about cleverness and wisdom here. Cleverness is driven by academics, but wisdom is driven by experience.”

"Computers are a technology invented by humans, but even if you give a computer decades or centuries, it is impossible for it to invent a human being."

When Masla heard Jack Ma's sophistry, he was not to be outdone and immediately followed up, saying, "Artificial intelligence technology is developing very rapidly. It is already jumping to new degrees of freedom, and its intelligence level is constantly rising. It can completely simulate all aspects of human beings."

Jack Ma held his breath: "AI is love. In the past, a successful person needed both high emotional intelligence and high IQ, but in the future AI world, success will require not only emotional intelligence and IQ, but also love intelligence."

Masla frowned, looking Jack Ma up and down with a speechless expression.

He talked about technology and the current situation, while Jack Ma talked about all sorts of random things.

Masla naturally didn't think that Jack Ma had a problem with his language function; it was just Jack Ma's way of talking.

Or rather, Jack Ma is avoiding discussing his own strengths and weaknesses, and refraining from speaking in areas where he is not proficient.

Fortunately, Wang Donglai spoke up at this moment.

"Hearing the two of you have such a lively discussion about artificial intelligence technology, it was definitely worth the trip."

"I also have my own opinion on what you two have said."

"I have to admit that Masla's vision of brain neural connectivity technology is very interesting."

"To be honest, Galaxy Technology has already conducted research in this area, and my thoughts are similar to Masla's."

"The speed at which knowledge accumulates is too fast, which places higher demands on learning ability."

"If we follow the traditional education methods and levels, it is actually very difficult to master cutting-edge technologies and then innovate."

"I have done relevant research in this area."

"If a researcher hasn't made any significant achievements before the age of thirty, it can be basically determined that either they have chosen the wrong direction or they have encountered problems that are beyond their capabilities."

"The current learning arrangements are a complete stifling of geniuses."

“Start kindergarten at age three, primary school at age six, junior high school at age thirteen, high school at age sixteen, university at age nineteen, and graduate school at age twenty-three.”

"This requires that every step be flawless, such as the transition from primary to junior high school, the college entrance examination, and so on."

"In my view, pre-university education can only be considered a form of literacy training."

"They had absolutely no involvement in actual technology research and development."

"However, once students enter university, apart from some top-tier institutions, other schools find it difficult to provide them with a suitable experimental environment."

"We have the world's largest population and an education system that astounds the world, producing countless outstanding talents."

"The period before the age of eighteen is a crucial time for a young person to develop their values ​​and beliefs."

"But they spent more time learning basic common sense by rote memorization."

"Just like classical Chinese poetry in Chinese language and basic knowledge such as mathematics and chemistry, the absorption of knowledge by students varies due to different teaching levels."

"But if we develop brain-computer interface technology, could we directly transmit this knowledge to the brain?"

"In this way, I wonder how much time can be saved."

"Some problems that have been solved by predecessors no longer need to be understood by later generations, and they will have to repeat the same path. Research and development efficiency will be increased many times over."

"This is one of the advantages of brain-computer interface technology."

"Another huge benefit is that it can help people with disabilities by providing physical support."

“Looking at the domestic and even global picture, the number of disabled people is beyond our imagination. Simple prosthetics are just a simple supplement, but brain-computer interface technology can give disabled people countless extra hands and enable them to control more machines.”

"I roughly know why Mr. Ma doesn't approve of brain-computer interface technology. It's not that Mr. Ma doesn't understand the technology, but that he may have heard experts introduce the technology before and knows its difficulties."

"Brain-computer interface technology naturally has its drawbacks, namely that there is no mature technology yet, or that the technology is too difficult to implement."

"Instead of wasting precious resources on these things, we should focus on the present."

"This idea is neither right nor wrong; it's just that everyone makes different choices."

"Based on the present and looking to the future, this is my plan for development."

Wang Donglai's words left both Masla and Jack Ma speechless.

Although it wasn't said explicitly, the two of them could easily understand it.

Wang Donglai looked down on the two of them and belittled them both.

However, faced with Wang Donglai, a powerful figure who was both wealthy and influential, the two of them really didn't have any good way to refute him.

In terms of money, Wang Donglai is no less, and may even be more.

In the technical field, when the two are tied together, they can't even see Wang Donglai's taillights.

Although Masla pays attention to cutting-edge technology, he is not considered an expert in his field.

The atmosphere on the field froze for a few seconds.

Masla then began, "I remember our topic seemed to be nothing more than life."

"If we can successfully develop neural connections, we can, to some extent, abandon the body and become purely data-driven beings."

"At that time, we can live in a virtual world with unlimited resources, unlimited space, and controllable time. It sounds like a pipe dream, but I don't think so."

"The future holds infinite possibilities, so why can't the scenario I described possibly come true!"

"Even if it doesn't achieve what I described, just a slight improvement in technology is enough for us."

"Life is controlled by consciousness, but our bodies have a limited lifespan. It is difficult for us to figure out whether our death is caused by the aging of our bodies or by the simultaneous aging of our consciousness and bodies. However, once brain-computer interface technology makes a breakthrough, we may be able to figure this out."

As Masla spoke, he became increasingly excited.

Jack Ma still looked unconvinced and said, "Compared to migrating to space and digitizing humanity, I prefer to stay on Earth and solve Earth's problems." "Future technologies are too far away, and it's hard to say whether we can control them. Rather than that, we should focus our limited time and energy on the present."

"We all can live longer, be healthier and happier. We focus on values, vision and dreams to unite all of humanity."

"It is said that technology changes the world, and we can also use technology and dreams to change the world together."

Masla shrugged. By now, he had completely lost his previous expectations for Jack Ma.

He could tell from Jack Ma's answer.

Jack Ma is indeed a competent businessman, but he has nothing else to offer besides business acumen.

Having mentally ruled out the collaboration with Jack Ma, Masla turned his attention to Wang Donglai.

"Wang Donglai, what's your opinion?"

Upon hearing Masla mention his name, Wang Donglai said, "I believe the mysteries of the human body are beyond our imagination because it is so intricate."

"According to my estimate, our progress in life sciences is probably only one ten-thousandth, or even less than one ten-thousandth."

"Our breakthroughs in life sciences are all described as discoveries."

"Indeed, in the eyes of many people, our own bodies are a huge gold mine compared to the outside world."

"Perhaps one day, when we discover the secrets of human origins, we will not be far from solving the mystery of the origins of the universe."

"I know that there are many laboratories in this world that have received a lot of financial funding to work on life sciences and try to extend lifespan."

"Longevity and immortality are the dreams of many people."

"Galaxy Technology will not engage in any life engineering or research and development projects that affect lifespan."

"Because I think our civilization has not yet reached that level of development, studying these things in advance will only be counterproductive."

"Instead of doing that, we should focus our energy on other things."

"Life sciences are extremely rigorous, and we need to be more cautious and not rush things."

"Artificial intelligence technology can only play a supporting role; it's still far from a true breakthrough!"

In fact, Wang Donglai had also considered whether to develop a drug that could increase lifespan.

But the idea only existed in his mind for a second before he extinguished it.

Because he could fully foresee the consequences of developing such technology.

The idea that he would be taken away for dissection and research is absolutely impossible.

However, such a product would absolutely drive everyone crazy.

They will give him a lot of money and fully support him to carry out further research and development.

As for other things, they must make way for this.

Even if Wang Donglai insists, it's impossible to make these people give up.

The fear of death, the desire for immortality!
It will cause many people to do some terrible things.

Wang Donglai didn't want to test human nature.

This technology is entirely harmful and offers no benefit.

Therefore, Wang Donglai repeatedly rejected research and development applications in this area within Galaxy Technology.

Even external attempts to probe were met with the harshest rejection.

The purpose of saying these things on this occasion is not only to bring up this topic, but also to spread his ideas widely and let more people know about them.

According to the event organization process, it should actually be over by now.

Just as the guests below were about to applaud and leave...

Wang Donglai, holding the microphone, said, "Please wait a moment. I have some personal news to share with you all."

"That is tomorrow, when I will hold an AI Internet of Everything launch event at Galaxy Technology's booth."

"Everyone is welcome to participate!"

Wang Donglai didn't say anything specific, and after he finished speaking, he put down the microphone.

The fewer words spoken, the more information conveyed.

Many brands participated in this conference and exhibition.

Even emerging car manufacturers have entered the fray, even though they don't have much to do with AI.

Many brands are treating this opportunity more as a sales event.

Galaxy Technology was also involved.

As a top-tier giant company in China, it naturally has a strong presence.

However, many attendees of the conference had a question: Galaxy Technology's booth was quite large, so why wasn't it set up?

Originally, the reporter was also planning to ask this question in a subsequent interview.

Unexpectedly, Wang Donglai said it himself.

In an instant, it piqued the curiosity of countless people.

Their focus was simple: Wang Donglai was going to personally host the press conference, which meant that Galaxy Technology might have new products.

The editors and reporters present were all professionals; with a quick thought, they came up with countless brilliant ideas and all sorts of eye-catching headlines.

Not to mention the editors and reporters, even Jack Ma and Masla on stage were surprised and interested.

AI and the Internet of Everything!
Just from this name, the two of them could think of a lot.

However, neither of them knew whether their guesses matched what Wang Donglai had taken out.

The scope of the Internet of Everything is simply too vast.

The two people on stage were very curious and surprised.

However, Lei Jun and others in the audience frowned.

When Lei Jun heard the name, his heart skipped a beat; he thought of a business his company was involved in.

Coincidentally, Galaxy Technology also has the same technology and ideas.

For some reason, the more Lei Jun thought about it, the more he felt that his guess might be correct.

However, at this point, we can only wait for tomorrow's press conference to confirm.

Thinking about this, Lei Jun sighed deeply, and couldn't help but reflect on whether he had made a mistake in choosing to partner with Qualcomm. (End of Chapter)
