Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

Chen Yiran squinted and said, "You deliberately let the 'white face' perform first so that the 'red face' can get more benefits."

Zhao Guodong spread his hands and said, "We didn't hide anything from you. I just told you directly that I'm the one playing the 'good cop'. I may have a low rank, but I've heard how reliable the higher-ups are."

At least most of them weren't a makeshift team. He said before he left that I was unlikely to agree, so he told me to play the "good cop" and try to get more shares in Aurora Group.

"So you just said it outright, then all that playing the good cop/bad cop role was for nothing."

Zhao Guodong started trying to build a connection: "I'm definitely on your side. If it's too much trouble, then forget it."

To be honest, your father's master was a complete loser. Of all the brothers in our group, he was the worst off. He didn't have any resources to help his apprentices; it was us, his senior brothers, who helped him. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say your father was practically my apprentice.

"How come I didn't know?"

"My junior brother is so concerned about his image. We give him all those eggs, enriched flour, malted milk powder, and stuff first, and then he takes them to his apprentices and tries to make himself look good by saying he bought them himself."

Chen Yiran felt that Zhao Guodong was even more cunning and treacherous; the more upright and honest he spoke, the better he played the good cop.

However, it's not necessarily a bad thing for Shougang to acquire more shares in Aurora, but it's also not good if things get too tense.

Chen Yiran thought for a moment and said, "What I just said will not change, but if Shougang wants to acquire more Aurora shares, that's possible, but it will require a lot, a lot, a lot of money. Your competitors are those oil tycoons from the Middle East."

"Don't worry! We don't lack money. Anyway, it's not our money; the higher-ups will allocate it to us. Actually, I don't quite understand. I've heard you say something, so the AI ​​can't be used domestically, right?"

But can't we just buy the framework license at a high price and develop AI ourselves? Whether it's open source or not doesn't matter, right? We've already bought it and reviewed it ourselves. Aren't there still technical risks?

"Authorization doesn't mean giving you the actual product; it means giving you a remote service download package or a server port. Of course, you can try to crack it, but my technology isn't that easy to crack. Besides, I'll keep iterating, and I might even plant some bugs in it."

"Impressive, this is much more troublesome than dealing with steel."

After a brief chat, Chen Yiran made his departure. Having finally managed to leave the island, his schedule was packed. Three companies were already waiting to meet with him in Washington.

Furthermore, he needs to take advantage of his time in Washington, D.C., to reconnect with some of his former associates in order to prepare for the impending crisis. These past few days have been tumultuous for Aurora.

There are quite a few large American companies that want to enter the AI ​​industry, but everyone is smart enough to see that Google's framework is inadequate.

Microsoft and other big companies are all very shrewd. They are afraid that if they invest rashly, they will lose everything due to the inherent disadvantages of the framework. They are all watching and waiting for the right opportunity to do something.

Google can manage to support AI initiatives in China, where costs are lower. However, in the US, they can't sustain such support and can only rely on venture capital to fund various AI concepts, which ultimately fail to gain traction.

Now, the time those giants have been waiting for has arrived.

In early February, as data centers gradually took shape and chip production capacity exploded, the fully-equipped Claude was no longer a rare item that could only be obtained through a lottery, and began to be distributed to all users.

Although the price was not low, it still caused a sensation.

Netizens are celebrating, seeing Claude as almost omnipotent, capable of creating tables, writing articles, and even editing images. Several universities have begun to publicly discuss and hope to improve the regulations for the use of AI, as they have no way of distinguishing which papers were created by AI.

In fact, those professors also need AI to help them judge which papers have problems, thus creating a logical closed loop.

The image and video editing capabilities are also very powerful. Although it is very expensive due to the high computing power required, some people are still starting to use it in the sex industry. The cost of this industry is not a problem; it can always be recouped.

Among those who had already won the right to use it, some were programmers with an internet spirit, and they released all sorts of advanced usage methods.

They thought this would facilitate technical communication and make the work of programmers easier.

But the effect was terrible; Silicon Valley was hit by a huge storm.

While it's premature to say that Claude will directly replace programmers due to the cost of computing power, it will at least significantly improve the efficiency of coders. What used to be a task for three people can now be done by two or even one.

Some website setup and similar tasks can be done by anyone who is not an expert.

Therefore, a wave of layoffs ensued. Among them, Chen Yiran's friend Ellison was the most radical, directly starting to drastically cut staff.

Those companies that secretly coveted Chen Yiran's technology certainly wouldn't let this opportunity pass, and they began to bare their fangs, extolling the threat that the technology posed to society.
