Chapter 468 AI Differences, Western Power
The "marriage match" between the young driver Lu Fang and the job seeker Qu Xin from outside the factory is just a reflection of the various lives in the factory.
On the wedding day, Mrs. Sun, a wealthy woman who had been widowed for many years, came to the factory to participate in a free vegetable picking activity. In the plastic greenhouse planting area, she met Mr. Wang, a strong man who had been single for 20 years and was spreading manure. In an instant, her heart was moved.
On their wedding day, Xiao Huang, who graduated from a martial arts school and worked as a security guard in Xiaoqinghe Community, and was already 30 years old but had never been in a relationship, and A-Mei, a shot put athlete who graduated from a sports school and worked as a physical education teacher and was participating in a competition at the staff activity center, looked into each other's eyes and fell in love at first sight.
On her wedding day, Ms. Han, a workaholic designer at Jishui Sanyuan Construction who is over 35 and has not yet married, heard a car alarm outside and subconsciously looked out the window. She saw the firefighter, Lao Li, an unmarried retired man, carrying heavy equipment and rushing towards the sea of fire. In an instant, Ms. Han seemed to have found the hero she had been waiting for for many years.
On the wedding day, Xiao Yang, an older single man from Shiliying, followed the department's arrangement for a business trip. After finishing his work at Jianfu Zijin Mining, he drove the factory car to leave the parking lot. Coincidentally, the OTA upgrade occurred and the smart driving went out of control, and he hit Xiao Chu, an older single woman who was about to enter the parking lot. The two got out of the car and looked into each other's eyes. Many forgotten memories suddenly emerged in their minds. It turned out that the woman was the object of his secret crush in junior high school.
"Are you... okay?" x2"Are you married?" x2"No." x2On the wedding day...
The next day.
Tongguan, the eastern headquarters of Aynak Group.
Office of the Chairman.
Yu Yang leaned back in the wide leather seat, holding a fruit plate in his left hand and a fruit fork in his right hand. He tasted the chilled cantaloupe while having a video call with the factory secretary team.
"Mr. Yu, after using AI-Yue Lao this year, the marriage rate of older youth has increased to 100%, nearly 13 times higher than the 10% in previous years; the marriage rate of young people of marriageable age has increased to 98%, more than 3 times higher than the 30% in previous years; the phenomenon of premature love has dropped to 0%, which is incredible compared to the 27% in previous years."
"Puppy love? What does the marriage model have to do with puppy love?"
"Ah Zhen likes Ah Qiang, and they have developed feelings for each other, which seriously affects each other's academic performance. Parents and teachers are extremely troubled, but there is nothing they can do about it. AI-Yue Lao takes the initiative to intervene, using big data to create some accidents, causing the two to quarrel and see each other clearly. For example, Ah Zhen sees Ah Qiang secretly eating boogers, and Ah Qiang smells that Ah Zhen has athlete's foot..."
"···"
"Under the guidance of AI-Yue Lao, Ah Zhen hated Ah Qiang, and Ah Qiang hated Ah Zhen, and the two were no longer in love."
Yu Yang pondered for a moment, "In fact, early love is also a very important experience and beautiful memory in life. There is no need to kill it, otherwise the children will be trained into robots by AI sooner or later."
"Okay, I'll report back to the research department."
After the factory secretary finished speaking, he continued, "In addition, the use of AI-Yue Lao has caused the research department in the field of artificial intelligence to split into three factions. One faction believes that artificial intelligence has posed a threat to human survival; one faction believes that artificial intelligence is controllable and that the number of models and development efforts need to be increased; the remaining faction has not expressed any opinions and is neutral."
"Didn't they say that artificial intelligence could not develop self-awareness? How could it still pose a threat to survival?"
"This is hard to explain. You'd better go to the R&D department yourself."
···Han Gaixi.
On the lush green embankment of the Yellow River lies the largest computer in human history - the Sky Garden Project.
Inside this computer, there are layers and rows of graphics card matrices, central processing unit clusters, water cooling systems and air cooling systems.
There is also a neatly organized grid office area.
Just like Hangai West-East 39th District.
There are 1.7 all-in-one computers here, equipped with customized ergonomic keyboards, ergonomic joysticks, and ergonomic AI calculators.
There are 5.1 female staff members here. They work in three shifts, wear uniform work clothes, wear uniform headsets and eyepieces, sit in uniform office chairs, and process relevant data in a uniform sitting posture.
The overall effect is in no way inferior to that of the Hacker Empire.
Moreover, these female employees never communicate, never talk, and never do unnecessary things during work. Only after they change out of their work clothes after get off work, they become exactly like ordinary people, taking their children out for a walk, taking care of their husbands and children, visiting relatives and friends, or doing some handicrafts...No one can get the work content from them, no one can steal the three-series corporate secrets through them, and no one can even survive from them.
This is the world-famous Xintai Data Center.
Even a force as powerful as the NSA has to retreat and avoid its edge.
August 8th was the factory’s wedding day.
Xintai Data Center-Sky Garden-Hangai West-Area 39, Factory Population Development Management Committee.
'Marriage Big Model - AI Matchmaker' research group.
In the tidy office area, the sound of mechanical keyboards tapping could be heard faintly.
The person in charge, Jeffrey Hinton, and deputy persons in charge, Yao Qi and Yang Kun, as well as many scientific researchers, gathered in a soundproof conference room and argued endlessly.
Hinton is from England. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society, a Turing Award winner, a top scientist in the field of modern neural networks and machine learning, and one of the valuable talents given by Royal Capital to Sanyuan Agriculture.
In the past three years, it has designed generative AI for Sanyuan Agriculture, enabling Xintai Data Center to catch up with Federal Capital in the generative field.
A 'back propagation' algorithm was designed for Sanyuan Agriculture, which enables the neural propagation network to generate hidden neurons between the input layer and the output layer, effectively accelerating the learning process. As a result, an AI cochlear implant and a large model project of a visual system designed for the blind were developed.
He currently leads 12 doctoral research laboratories and 19 master's students, focusing on 'independent AI'.
That is to say, it is separated from the Xintai Data Center and realizes independent interaction.
But as the research deepens and the data continues to extend to the social level.
Hinton began to reject AI.
"We can't do this any longer. Although we control the underlying logic, its learning, self-feedback and self-correction capabilities are becoming stronger and stronger, and it needs less and less intervention from us. It is conceivable that in another three years..."
Yao Qi, a top scientist in the field of Eastern Turing, denied it: "Let alone three years, even if it's thirty years, it's still just a machine."
"No, no, no, you don't understand what I mean. I mean that it will be like an artificial intelligence with self-awareness, intervening in human society in reverse."
“That was our initiative.”
"The problem is that we don't control the probability, but it will control the probability through statistics of the data!"
Hinton turned on the computer and displayed a piece of data.
AI-Yue Lao:'Lv Fang, male, 26 years old, unmarried, has met the compulsory marriage requirements.'
Infer from shopping records...Inferring from personal connections...Infer from the expenditure details...Inferring from the work route...Inferred from the number of times you meet your parents...
According to the medical examination report...'Lu Fang has no ambitions, no bad habits, no hidden illnesses, no genetic diseases. His father is a car repairman and his mother is a pigsty cleaner. He likes to read novels and occasionally fantasizes about becoming the male protagonist in the novels. He prefers a quiet spouse, does not like to quarrel, does not bear grudges, and is a family man...'
'Start searching for spouses.'
Priority in-plant:
'Zhu Xiaoya...'
'Wei Min...'
'Wang Sijia...'
'The highest matching rate in the factory is 82.2%.'
Try outside the factory:
'Yu Huihui...'
'Yang Ping...'
'Qu Xin, female, 23 years old, unmarried.'
Infer from shopping records...Inferring from personal connections...Infer from the expenditure details...Inferring from the work route...Inferred from the number of times you meet your parents...
According to the medical examination report...'After graduation, Qu Xin hopes to find a suitable job, but has no specific goals or future plans. She has no bad habits, no hidden diseases, and no genetic diseases. Her father is a forklift driver and her mother is a farmer. She likes listening to music and running, and occasionally fantasizes about becoming a little princess. She has a listening personality, tends to talk to her spouse, is good at empathy, and is emotional...'
'The highest off-site match rate is 98%, and the most suitable spouse for 'Lu Fang' is 'Qu Xin'.'
'Evaluate whether 'Qu Xin' meets the requirements for entering the factory: Yes.'
'To avoid ethical conflicts caused by one-way matching, reverse matching is used.'
'Qu Xin, female...'
'Priority outside the factory...'
'Matching in the factory...'
Conclusion: Although Qu Xin is not an employee of the factory and does not meet the compulsory marriage system, the highest match in the search information is still 'Lv Fang', so pairing the two parties does not violate the AI marriage management regulations.
Start making a two-way plan.
'Lv Fang is a tester of smart driving cars. His daily driving route is. AI has 90% influence on him (influences his behavior)...'
'Qu Xin is a recent graduate and currently unemployed. AI has 100% influence on him. He can post job search information...'
'Create encounters based on both parties' information and families.'
'Designed scene 1: Lu Fang goes to the toilet and runs into Qu Xin who also goes to the toilet after the interview...'
'Design scenario 2: Qu Xin takes a taxi, and Lu Fang receives a taxi order...'
'Design scenario 3:...'
'Design scenario 4:...'
'Evaluate the calculation success rate...'
'Optimization plan...'
Execution begins: Both parties rush to the plan.
'Publish the recruitment information of Heshi Chicken Farm to Qu Xin...'
'Send a new test line to Lu Fang...'
Enable scenario 1:
'The patient case of someone who often drives and drinks less water was sent to Lu Fang's mother, prompting her to urge Lu Fang to drink more water.
'Qu Xin arrived in He City and started the interview...'
'Alert-Qu Xin was too nervous and lost the mineral water given in the beverage cabinet. Notify the interviewer to set the time...'
'Scene 1 toilet encounter - cancelled.'
Enable scenario 2:
'Qu Xin finished the interview and started to take a taxi.'
'Lu Fang didn't finish using the toilet, and started threatening: Your car will be ticketed soon.'
'Lu Fang walked out of the toilet halfway through peeing, drove away from the spot, and met Qu Xin according to the order...'
'Probability event in progress.'
'Lü Ma intervenes...'
'Director Huang intervenes...'
'The probability event is over.'
Result: Pairing successful.
'This marriage match is over.'
Started assessment: 72% complete.
Start improving: No longer actively expose the existence of AI in the future.
Start redesigning the scene...
Generate similar solutions···Evaluating Similar Solutions···Generate an optimization plan: Before the factory marriage day arrives every year, the factory art troupe needs to lay the groundwork in advance and create an atmosphere of love at first sight and fateful meeting. At the same time, it needs to produce and broadcast film and television works that help young people to find a partner.
'Optimize the program to obtain a high-level authorization visa.'
'Start execution.'
·Hinton: "It is becoming more and more mature, and it already has the ability to transform society. It will quietly intervene in the lives of each of us in the dark. No one knows what the future results will be, and it is difficult for us to find out whether it has autonomous consciousness. If it does, it will use time to bury our entire human race."
"After all, it has all our real-time data. It can create 'adventures', 'accidents', and 'various coincidences', and then please us, making us very happy and fascinated, and gradually obey it." "Like the evil capital, it is quietly changing each and every one of us."
"So I reject AI's involvement in society. It can only be used in industry and war."
"If I have to do it, I will refuse service."
"Besides, I know you don't trust me. I need to speak to the Boss immediately."
···Tongguan, office of the chairman of Aynak Group.
After communicating with the factory secretary, Yu Yang took out his SY handheld game console and took the initiative to contact Xin Dun.
After the latter answered the call, he said without further ado, "Boss, social AI must be terminated."
“Mr. Hinton, I understand your arguments and I support your point of view, but we need to consider the issue from different angles. For example, if you are a poor person who is exploited by capital and has no room for upward mobility, how can you achieve wealth?To be honest, there is nothing you can do.
But with social AI, it will be like God and can secretly allocate some resources to you. Although it cannot make you rich overnight, it can help you achieve a well-off life.
In the past, we have completed the preliminary design of the 'Tiandao' model with the help of A-shares, the New Third Board, Xintai City, and the Trade Hall. The results are obvious to all. If we promote it to the entire East, it will not be difficult to realize our dream. "
"Boss, this is actually unfair. For example, if I win a 2 million lottery jackpot by luck, the social AI will definitely distribute my wealth to others secretly. Is this fair?"
"This is indeed unfair, but there is no such thing as fairness in this world. I can easily take away your 2 million prize and then kill you."
"···"
"Of course, I'm not being serious with you. I just want to say that we can use the corresponding AI when needed, just like this factory matchmaking, we need the help of AI Matchmaker, so we activate it. When the matchmaking day is over, we don't need AI Matchmaker anymore, so we can just turn it off."
"By doing this, the difference between before and after activation will be very obvious, and the outside world will also notice that we have used means."
"No, before and after the wedding day, the Futu Temple and the Dongyue Taoist Sect held grand marriage ceremonies to pray for single men and women and send blessings to lovers... Just like today's wedding day, why do so many people come together from thousands of miles away? If you post this question on the forum, no one will mention AI. They will only say that it was the Arhats and Taoist priests who worked hard and performed rituals to win this for everyone."
"···"
"Isn't that right?"
"Exactly right."
“So you should also study metaphysics. At least it is more acceptable than science and will not cause AI panic.”
Hinton was silent for a moment. "But I still insist that it is a huge hidden danger."
"There are many things with hidden dangers, such as the God particle, quantum research, and your gas stove... Instead of worrying about these things, it is better to develop an independent AI for moon landing as soon as possible."
Yu Yang is indeed not worried about the negative impact of AI on human society.
Just like hormones, antibiotics, and stimulants, they have good sides and bad sides. The final result depends on who uses them and how they use them.
As for whether the AI will rebel, and whether an intelligent machine crisis will break out on the mother planet...
playing games?
This is reality.
Disconnect the 'big model' from the 'database' and the AI will instantly become an idiot.
···After Yu Yang finished his call with Xin Dun, he looked at the screen of another all-in-one machine.
In the past, the family mainly developed grain, animal husbandry, aquatic products, herbal medicine and industry.
Therefore, Dongshan and Nanhe are grain-producing areas and industrial areas.
Xijiang River is used for transportation, porcelain, and tea.Jianfu sells leather bags, clothing, shoes and hats.
Bashu is known for aerospace, tea, and fruits.
Nanyun represents energy, meat, and dry goods.
Nanyang is home to rice, rubber and chemicals.
The Northeast is for smelting, heavy industry and assembly.
The Far East is for planting, shipbuilding, timber and minerals.
Last year, the country launched a large-scale development project in Tibet, and cultivated highland wheat, highland barley, highland millet, highland sorghum and highland cotton in advance.
These products correspond to brewing, textiles, medicine, plant-based energy, and weapons raw materials.
Taking into account issues such as transportation, cost, and trade, the company originally planned to set up related industries in Bangladesh in the south.
However, considering employment and development issues in the east, it was finally set up in Xishan and Shaanxi in the north.
Running a factory requires electricity. Given the scale of these industries, the hydropower and coal-fired power in Xishan and Shaanxi are far from meeting the demand.
To this end, Sanyuan Hi-Tech has applied for 15 three-series nuclear power plants with an installed capacity of 2000 megawatts in Tianshui, Baoji, Shangluo and Tongguan along the Qinling Mountains.
Dongfang currently has seven three-series nuclear power plants, located in Dongshan, Nanhe, four southern provinces, and the foggy city Fengdu, serving the high-speed rail and Agriculture 7. They have been in operation for two years and are all in good condition, belonging to clean nuclear energy.
The superiors had no reason to refuse, considering the development issues in Xishan and Shaanxi.
But there is an operation involved, and the two sides are arguing over it.
Just like a traditional power plant.
Purchase coal → generate electricity in power plants → sell electricity to the power grid → the power grid sells electricity to residents and commercial organizations.
In this process, assuming that the power plant's power generation cost is 0.3 yuan/kWh, the superior requires the power plant to sell to the power grid at a price of 0.1 yuan/kWh.
This results in the power plant losing 0.2 yuan for every kilowatt-hour of electricity it generates.
The power grid is sold to residents and commercial organizations at an average price of 0.5 yuan per kilowatt-hour. After deducting 0.1 yuan per kilowatt-hour, the profit for each kilowatt-hour sold is 0.4 yuan.
As time goes by, power plants lose more and more money as they sell more, their debts grow larger and larger, and they go bankrupt and restructure; power grids make more and more money as they sell more, their profits grow higher and higher, and their scale becomes larger and larger.
The main reason for this is that the vast majority of power plants have not been reformed and are under collective or mixed ownership and are therefore unable to go public.
The power grid, or the power company, is a product of the reform. It can be listed, cash out, make profits from the stock market, and lay more power facilities.
So here comes the question.
The three-series nuclear power plant is the product of the three-series collective. You can't play it like this.
Therefore, Sanyuan Hi-Tech hopes for a free market, that is, the nuclear power plant will not be connected to the power grid, and will produce and sell its own products at a price of 0.5 to 1.2 yuan per kilowatt-hour, which is higher than the power grid and does not constitute malicious competition.
However, the superiors believed that this did not comply with regulations and hoped that the original process would be followed, that is, the nuclear power plant would sell electricity to the power grid at a price of 0.1 yuan per kilowatt-hour, and then the superiors would subsidize the nuclear power plant according to the cost of power generation of the nuclear power plant to ensure that there would be no losses. Otherwise, the nuclear power plant project would not be approved.
The stalemate between the two sides did not last long.
Sanyuan Hi-Tech built 15 nuclear power plants with local approval procedures.
Then generate electricity and sell it to local areas.
After all, the capital is the capital, and the local areas are the local areas.
There is a power grid at the higher level, and there is also a power bureau at the local level.
(The power grid is composed of power companies that have been reformed by local power bureaus. If they are not reformed, they do not belong to the power grid.)The power bureaus in the western region, fearing that someone would settle accounts with them, decided to go all out and banded together to form the 'Western Power Grid', a local state-owned enterprise, to correspond to the State Grid and Southern Power Grid under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.
When the superior received the news, he was so angry that he ignored it.
if not?The matter is already settled. Do we have to demolish 15 nuclear power plants?
Yu Sanyuan was probably going to scold everyone for being treasonous.
After the establishment of Western Power Grid, it has successively listed on A-shares, H-shares, Nasdaq, London stocks, Paris stocks, Amsterdam... in the past year.
At the same time, it signed contracts with 15 nuclear power plants in the western region, and its stock price once hit the daily limit.
Signed a contract with Fengdu Nuclear Power Plant and the stock price rose.
Stocks rose after a contract was signed for five hydroelectric power plants on the Yarlung Zangbo River.
Stocks rise after signing of contract with Aynak nuclear power plant.
Stocks rose after contracts were signed with nuclear power plants in five East Asian countries.
Stocks rose after a contract was signed for 20 nuclear power plants under construction in Persia.
The stock price rose after a contract was signed with a nuclear power plant dedicated to the Asia-Europe high-speed railway in Turkey.
Signed a contract with the Eurasian high-speed rail project to be responsible for power supply, and the stock price rose...
Signed a contract with a nuclear power plant in a petroleum country...
Signed a contract with the West African 21-nation group...
Today, Western Power Grid's business has spread across Asia, Europe and Africa.
With a total revenue of US$2631 billion, it has entered the Fortune Global 500 and ranked third in the world, second only to Walmart and ExxonMobil.
“Who says there are no top companies in the East?”
"I'll make one for you in a minute."
After checking the industrial changes in the west, Yu Yang casually looked at the local employment issues.
There's nothing to see here.
Just like Western Electric.
The power bureaus in Xishan and Shaanxi have been reformed to become mixed-ownership bureaus, with expanded positions. As long as you have power skills, no matter you are an unlicensed rural electrician, a real electrician with a license, or a new electrician who just graduated from school, you can take the AI certification exam, and then obtain the corresponding three-series certificates based on the classification of strong and weak electricity, engage in related work and participate in in-service education at the Western Workers University.
Correspondingly, Western Electric Power was established, and the management, finance, administration, technicians, customer service, clerks, various engineers, and R&D personnel were expanded...
In just half a year, nearly 30 jobs were provided.
Another half a year later, the profits from the stock market were used to support another 50 miscellaneous jobs.
In other words, the money earned from the stock market is used to support 50 temporary workers that the company does not need to recruit, and then they are arranged to work in some unprofitable subsidiary companies, such as substation construction, substation construction, construction team cooking, Western Electric Power Work Clothing Factory, Western Electric Power Workers Activity Center...
What's more, for some elderly men and women in the village who have lost their only child, Western Power would buy them a sheep and let them raise it, which is considered as arranging jobs for them. The company then pays them the minimum basic wage and covers part of their retirement expenses.
Of course, Western Power is just one of the Western companies.
In addition, there are Western Mining, Western Transportation, Western Gold, Western Smelting, Western Heavy Industry, Western Aerospace...
The relevant profit methods and employment issues are almost the same as those of Western Electric Power.
There are definitely disadvantages to doing this.
Once the stocks of western companies fluctuate drastically, affecting their financial returns, the employment problem in the west will become particularly glaring.
In short, this way of playing is far less stable than the collective one.
The question is, who has a better way to quickly lift the western region out of poverty?Yu Yang checked for a long time and added buff to the west again.
For example, the gold in the Aynak copper mine was secretly transported to the Tongguan mine, and it was announced that a new gold vein had been discovered in Tongguan with astonishing reserves.
For example, the AI robot moon landing project could be allocated to Western Aerospace.
For example, the next generation of unmanned fighter jets will be allocated to Western Airlines.
Busy for a long time.
The intelligence system sent an urgent message.
Yu Yang took a quick look and said, "Wow, so many high-ranking people in Europe died all at once. Could it be that North America is carrying out a major purge of the European Union?"
