I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 338 Failed (4412)

June 6, Children's Day, Sinho, 1:0 am
Zhao Panfeng first sent a few emoticons saying "Today is a holiday for me, give out red envelopes" in his several WeChat groups, then he went to a QQ group and scolded a few primary school students who were asking for red envelopes. Then he turned on his camera and took a photo of himself working overtime facing the electronic clock hanging on the wall of the office.

After taking the photo, click to share it on Moments, and then edit the text.

"Another night, I feel like I'm about to become the office mascot."

Select the group so that only “a bunch of idiots” can see it, and click Send.

"What a fucking idiot. They lost this idiotic project and still have to write a review. What a bullshit review. 64 companies were prequalified, and there were five more bidders. The lowest bidder won. If you have the guts, you should bid the lowest too."

"Before bidding, I told these idiots not to bother if they didn't win, but they still made me prepare the bidding documents and write a review after I lost them. What idiots!"

"Stupid company, stupid Li Rui."

While cursing the company and department leaders, Zhao Panfeng opened Qianxun and began searching for background information on the project's client.

This crappy review PPT even has a format. First, it has to put the client's background information, then the project background information, and then it has to make up a bunch of stories and make up nonsense according to the project time nodes one by one.

I have to learn how to train AI in the next two days. Xiao Fan said that AI can do everything and can even make PPTs automatically. I have to ask him to teach me someday...

By the way, there’s a Y search that’s quite popular recently. Forget it, I’ll just search it first, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll try Y search again.

Zhao Panfeng skillfully typed a few keywords on the keyboard, and then began to turn the pages.

Well, this one should be useful, copy it, fuck! Qianxun Library, do I need to become a member to copy?

Damn, change the keyword.

Zhao Panfeng typed in a few more key words.

As soon as he turned the page, Zhao Panfeng couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Fuck! Chihiro... Is this Chihiro looking for death?"

Zhao Panfeng looked at the search information displayed on the screen and couldn't believe his eyes.

Zhao Panfeng quickly typed a few more words and pressed search.

grass! grass! grass!
Qianxun must have been hacked!
Zhao Panfeng quickly took out his mobile phone to take a picture of the screen, and then sent it to the WeChat group.

Qianxun searches about 20,000 times per second at night. At the same time, countless people who use Qianxun to search discover Qianxun’s problems.

Qianxun Building.

"It's been almost a month! The Orange Model data has been updated three times!, but the target answer has never been reflected. Did you sell your data to Y-Search? Where did you spend the 5.6 million yuan data cost? "

Robert Lee slammed the thermos cup heavily on the desk, and the water in the cup splashed out. The secretary in a short skirt next to him hurriedly took a few tissues to wipe it.

The three vice presidents in front of him were all silent.

Over the past month, Robert Lee's temper has really gotten worse and worse, and he has lost all of his previous gentle and easy-going demeanor.

Since the release of Ysou, Robert Lee has fallen into extreme anxiety.

Unlike Google, search is the lifeblood of Qianxun, and 90% of Qianxun's revenue comes from search.

Although Qianxun has been trying to diversify its operations and expand more revenue channels and profit points over the years, all have had little success.

Qianxun Jiangmi, 91 Wireless, PPS, Yinshan Duba, Qianqian Jingting, Baixing.com... hundreds of billions of dollars were spent, but in the end, except for Ai Qianyi, none of them made a splash. If you don't know, you might think they were laundering gold coins.

Today, the outside world sees that 10% of Qianxun's revenue comes from other business segments, but Robert Lee understands that these segments are still heavily dependent on the traffic provided by Qianxun Search, and even direct transfer payments!

Even if this 10% is genuine and completely real income, its role is just icing on the cake and its role is to support the imagination of Qianxun’s stock price. It is not enough to support the normal operation of a company.

A company has fundamental business and growth business.

The basic business is the company's foundation, which is responsible for supporting the company and keeping it alive.

The growth businesses are the so-called strategic business segments, which are responsible for telling stories and raising investor expectations.

Search is Qianxun’s fundamental business and its real lifeline. Once the search is over, Qianxun will be over too.

No matter what kind of crisis he encountered in the past, Robert Lee was never really afraid, because the moat in the search field was too wide and too deep.

It is said that Tencent, a social communication company, has a deep moat. In fact, many emerging social software have the potential to pose a threat to Tencent, but Tencent has always responded appropriately and dared to revolutionize itself, so it has not fallen behind.

This is even more true for Taomao. There is no moat in online shopping. Not to mention JD.com's relentless pressure, the emergence of Bingxixi in the sinking market is enough to make Taomao more vigilant.

But it is not like that for search. The moat of this industry is too wide, so wide that no competitor can cross it. Even if Qianxun does not make any innovations, as long as the search industry exists, it will not fail!
What Robert Lee was really worried about before was the sudden emergence of a new industry that had nothing to do with search, but this new industry struck down the entire search industry.

But as long as it is within this industry and this track, no matter it is 720 Search, Sogou, Biying... even if Google returns to the Great Zhou, it is impossible to pose a real threat to Qianxun.

The difference in search quality brought about by the accumulation of resources is an almost insurmountable chasm!

Until the emergence of Ysou a month ago.

Now Qianxun has basically figured out the principle of Ysou, and discovered that Ysou did not try to cross the chasm at all, it just flew over from the sky!
With only one percent of the resources of Qianxun, it achieves search results far exceeding Qianxun.

Is this the evolution of various industries after being empowered by AI?
Robert Lee knows the importance of AI, and he also knows how many industries will be disrupted once AI is truly developed, so he is determined to invest in AI.

But he never expected that search would be the first industry to be disrupted by AI, and he never expected that the practical application of AI would come so quickly!
Has YUZI Technology’s application of AI become practical?

A month ago, Robert Lee, who had just come into contact with Y-search, felt the biting cold.

It now seems that Qianxun's revenue and market share have not been greatly affected. The company is still prosperous and the dancing and horse racing are still going on. Most of the middle-level and ordinary employees are still immersed in the dream of working for a large Internet company.

But Robert Lee understood that if Ysou, no, if he didn't completely solve the problem of Yuzu Technology, Qianxun would most likely die suddenly within a year or two!
Therefore, at the beginning of the month, under the promotion of Robert Lee, Qianxun secretly acquired several companies specializing in data business, and used these companies to provide Youzi Technology with a large amount of fine-tuned data that implied "specific tendencies".

These fine-tuning data are well hidden and few in number, but very repetitive, which can easily make the trained model have a "thought stamp". As long as Youzi Technology uses this batch of data to train the model, it will affect the "value" of the questions answered by the model under specific conditions.

These have been verified by Qianxun in the fine-tuning training of the Orange Large Model 1.99.

Even though the currently released Orange Large Model 2.5S version has undergone more evolution, the training principles of the large model are unlikely to change much.

As long as the Orange Model gives answers to certain questions with "wrong values", Qianxun's powerful public relations machine will be fully mobilized and all its strength will be used to nail down Youzi Technology!

Even if they can't nail it down, they can use various off-field tactics to slow down the development of Youzi Technology. On the one hand, this can buy more time for Qianxun, and on the other hand, it can force Youzi Technology to withdraw from the search industry or Qianxun to forcibly acquire Ysou!
After all, for many people, Qianxun, which has been developing steadily for more than ten years, is far more credible than the newly emerging Youzi Technology!
Although this forced plan may come at a huge cost, even if Yuzu Technology is forced to sell Ysou, Robert Lee estimates that the final plan will not be lower than a 1:2 stock swap.

It is equivalent to exchanging one-quarter of Qianxun’s shares for the ownership of Ysou!

Robert Lee understood that these were just his plans and the success rate was completely unknown, but if he didn't do this, Chihiro would definitely die!
“Robert, could it be that they haven’t used this data for fine-tuning yet? The model version currently released is the previous iteration?”

Sheng Bin, the new senior vice president of search business, pushed up his glasses and said cautiously.

When Robert Lee heard this, the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch twice. This was indeed a possibility. If this was the case, it meant that the technological reserves of Yuzu Technology had already advanced for who knows how many generations.

This is undoubtedly a worse answer.

AI Lab Director Huang Haowen frowned and shook his head. "Impossible. They must have used this batch of data. We tested their newly updated Orange Model 2.5N version based on the test items hidden in the data set. The specific answers were consistent with the data in the data set."

"These batches of data are private data sets that are not publicly available, and their features are very obvious. They must have used this batch of data to perform 2.5N fine-tuning training, so they would not have made a wrong judgment."

“The only question now is why the rest of the data was learned, but the ‘spiked’ data was not.”

"If they say they have determined which part of the data is 'added', I don't believe it. It is an impossible task to find this part of the data among several gigabytes of data."

"The only possibility is that they used a supervised learning model to adjust the problematic 'values', but supervised learning requires manual labeling of data, and we all know the efficiency, so it is impossible to complete it so quickly."

It was past midnight, and several people were talking to each other. Robert Lee felt a headache and pressed his temple with his hand.

"That's all for today. I'll go back first. If you have nothing to do, go back early too." Robert Lee felt his head hurting more and more. He had not slept before two o'clock in these days.

The three senior executives looked at each other secretly and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Chihiro has been in chaos over the past half month. Robert Lee shouted "Chihiro is only eighteen months away from bankruptcy" and passed the pressure on to them. They then passed the pressure on to the heads of each business unit, and the heads of each business unit passed the pressure on to their respective department managers.

With the pressure increased level by level, more than 40,000 employees held no less than 50,000 conference calls and made 100,000 PPTs. Hundreds of action plans were made at various levels, all of which required grassroots employees and managers to make reports. Perhaps only one or two action items were actually implemented. Not only did the efficiency not increase, but it decreased.

When a company stops looking for solutions in a strategic direction and instead keeps looking for solutions in a management direction, it marks the beginning of the company's decline.

The worst manager is one who likes to use tactical diligence to cover up strategic incompetence and laziness.

Robert Lee had just walked to the elevator door when he saw Wang Zhen, the deputy director of the security center who had not yet left work, coming out of the elevator with a serious and somewhat panicked expression.

"Ah, Mr. Li." Wang Zhen was startled when he saw Robert, and his eyes avoided, "I came to report something to Mr. Sheng."

Robert nodded, and just as he was about to enter the elevator, he turned back for some unknown reason: "What's the matter?"

Wang Zhen stole a glance at Sheng Bin. Sheng Bin had just taken over this part of the business for less than a month and had not yet established real control within the company. He said unnaturally, "Just tell me what Robert asks you."

Wang Zhen looked at Sheng Bin: "The situation is a bit urgent. There is a problem with 'content management'."

Robert Lee frowned: "Which part is wrong?"

After hearing Wang Zhen's report, neither Robert nor Sheng Bin cared too much.

A company as large as Qianxun has always been the main target of attack by various black hat forces. Moreover, due to the complexity of its internal mechanisms, even without external attacks, its content management has actually had problems, but they were all problems that could be easily solved.

Wang Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "Everything, it seems that 'content management' is completely ineffective. User requests seem to be no longer restricted by any security management policies. Let me ask whether I should report to Yi'an Prefecture immediately."

! ! ! ! ! !
Nothing works anymore?
Qianxun’s content management has a total of six mechanisms and three levels of review. How is it possible that none of them work?
Robert's face changed: "Who attacked? What attack method was used? How long will it take to recover?"

Wang Zhen avoided his gaze and said, "No, I don't know."

Before Robert could say anything, Sheng Bin got angry first: "I don't know? What do you mean by I don't know? What do you mean I don't know?"

Wang Zhen held it in for a long time: "It seems that there is no attacker, it just fails..."

No attacker? It just failed?
Is this what you are saying?

Could it be that Qianxun hired a fool?
Without an attacker, how could so many measures be rendered ineffective?

Robert Lee's temple was throbbing with pain: "What exactly happened?"

Wang Zhenxin said: "There are no signs of intrusion on any port, and all measures have no signs of tampering or attack. The system configuration and database are not damaged. However, these measures seem to have no effect on all user requests, and will directly give feedback to users through hyperlink analysis."

"We have no idea what caused the problem. Code review has not found any malicious code. Checking the firewall, log analysis, and memory forensics have all found no problems. This situation has never been heard of before, so I cannot accurately estimate the recovery time."

"This problem occurred just after midnight. We suspected it was some unknown virus or 0day vulnerability, but we couldn't find any trace of the virus."

"The on-duty team is conducting a close investigation and has notified all employees by phone to return to work urgently. Philip is also rushing to the company now, but as of now, there is really no clue."

Philip is the newly appointed vice president of network security, and his full name is Jiang Feiyu.

! ! ! ! ! !
Everyone present was from a technical background, so no one could fail to understand what Wang Zhen said.

How can it be?

"Take me to the scene." Robert Lee frowned and pinched his temples hard.
