Global Monopoly of Technology

"This translation software application should be as foolish as possible in terms of user experience, and the simpler the better."

Luo Sheng looked at Xu Yong and said in an orderly manner: "For example, if I don't understand English, I open an English webpage and I am dumbfounded and can't understand it. How can I do it? When a user enters a webpage that he can't understand at all, he will If his computer runs our translation service, the text information on the page should be automatically translated into his native language immediately, so he can understand it at a glance."

Xu Yong thought for a moment and then said, "The problem of software compatibility will become the most prominent contradiction."

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "This is not difficult, we can solve this problem completely through the relevant technical support of cloud computing services, of course, we will not change the original webpage, otherwise the page may crash, but we can analyze it by analyzing Then run it in the cloud, and then render an inherited child page on the client side, the original page is the parent, and the two are both independent and related.”

Feng Yi's eyes lit up and said, "This is a feasible solution, and it can be regarded as the development of a cloud service."

Everyone was inexplicably amazed, and the idea of ​​co-authoring was probably not something that the boss just wanted to come up with, but that it had been around last year or even longer.

The people sitting here are all capable engineers and developers. After a while, they realize that big data and cloud computing services will play a role in supporting the core framework, which is the premise of realizing all this. artificial intelligence.

In other words, this idea can package instant translation applications in cloud computing services for sale, which can be divided into two sections: enterprise-level services and personal services.

Enterprise-level services, such as websites such as Bluestar Technology, have social attributes and transnational characteristics, so they need such services. After buying such service support, users such as BlueSpace, Weibo MicroBlog, and Bluestar Video are in When you log in to these websites, you don't need to buy it, you can use it for free, because the website itself has purchased such a service.

Of course, this is originally Bluestar Technology's own cloud service support, and it is naturally free.

But what about other corporate websites? For example, Microsoft, such as Google, Yahoo, etc., if they want this solution, they have to buy it.

There is also a personal version.

Luo Sheng looked at the crowd and said, "If we implement strong artificial intelligence now, everything will be much easier, but this is not something that can be achieved in an instant. Fortunately, cloud computing services allow us to optimize many application scenarios in advance, but this It requires a large amount of data and sufficient computing resources to support, our solution can use distributed computing,

It has a super large-scale data center to support the collection of thesaurus, and support the live update of thesaurus. "

In the data age, data is everything, and monopolizing data is equivalent to monopolizing the world.

Luo Sheng added: "So, Bluestar Technology should recruit professionals around the world including linguists, engineers, analysts, statistics and other professionals, and also need to recruit linguistics archaeology teams, of course, it can also directly sponsor It is necessary to send a large number of offline postgraduate research teams to go deep into the world to collect information on various cultures, customs, slang, etc., museums, libraries, etc., which can be collected. A sum of money or a partnership will do.”

Xu Yong smiled and said, "It seems that we also have to give Wikipedia a sponsorship fee."

When these data thesaurus and other information are gathered in the data center, this is a basic prerequisite. Only after the database is established can we achieve comparable analysis and translation.

The construction of data centers will continue to expand, because the world is generating new words all the time, especially online buzzwords. This is the easiest to collect, and it is the easiest to solve the collection problem on the Internet.

The difficult part is some niche categories and offline categories. You can't ignore them. Don't look at them as niche, but they are scattered. Statistics and summaries are still huge.

The database is completed, which is of great benefit to the development of artificial intelligence. It is also possible to develop a huge distribution system, through the user's access to the data center, request analysis, and then through the cloud to achieve the user's translation needs.

In this way, massive data support can also carry the birth of primary artificial intelligence, and finally the artificial intelligence will feed back, and only after the birth of primary artificial intelligence can it be upgraded to strong artificial intelligence. This has been proved in Luo Sheng's previous life, so it is not There will be any doubt that this must be done.

Xu Yong pondered and said to himself: "This is a vast and boundless super data project. How much manpower, material resources, and financial resources must be invested to realize it?"

Luo Sheng: "Maybe thousands of people plus tens of billions, maybe more, but no matter how big the investment is, it's worth it, and it must be done."

Feng Yi also looked at Luo Sheng and said, "The first application based on artificial intelligence is instant translation, so what about the second application?"

Luo Sheng immediately got up and brought a large curled poster and placed it on the table in the middle of the crowd. Xu Yong and the others immediately stepped up and spread out the poster. Then they all glanced curiously, and when they saw it, they were all full of Doubtful.

"This is a girl image that I asked the artist from the art department to draw according to my vision." Luo Sheng looked at the girl character on the poster and said slowly: "Virtual, gentle, cute, delicate... Virtual singer."

Virtual singer?

Xu Yong and the others looked at each other in dismay, and it was a new concept term for the boss. They had never heard of this stuff before.

Immediately, he looked at the cute girl image on the poster wearing headphones + electronic screen sleeves + square red hairband + green double pupils and double ponytails.

Feng Yi looked at the image of the girl on the poster, scratched his head, and murmured, "Boss, how can you always come up with such a weird idea?"

Luo Sheng smiled and did not answer him directly, but went straight to the point: "The virtual idol singer project may not bring considerable profit to the company in a short period of time, and even if it is profitable in ten years, it is optional. But it represents one of the trends of the future!"

Once the real virtual reality society arrives, people can trigger a real immersive interactive experience with virtual characters, which will lead to earth-shaking changes in the entire society, which means that games, entertainment and other elements can be used with the help of high-tech equipment. Cross the barriers between virtual and reality, and by that time, profits and incomes will come rolling in.

Luo Sheng looked at everyone and said one by one: "The virtual idol has the same smile and wave as a real person, but a beautiful figure that surpasses that of a human being; he sings and dances like a real person, but can easily achieve a high pitch and speech speed that cannot be achieved by human beings. ;Everything is illusory and virtual, only the unshakable seriousness and perfection are real. We often say that technology creates the future, and this sentence is suitable to describe virtual idols, and its heavy sense of the future is unparalleled. "

Lu Siming was stunned: "The boss's thinking is really unpredictable."

Xu Yong also immediately asked: "So you want to use artificial intelligence to create the most advanced speech synthesis technology? One text information expression, one voice information expression, just two applications?"

Luo Sheng snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "Yes, the arrangement is clear, intelligent speech synthesis technology + imaging technology + virtual engine processing + artificial intelligence to create the world's first virtual idol, the behind-the-scenes team In addition to the engineering team, a huge music creation team is also needed, and virtual idols have an advantage that real people cannot match, that is, virtual idols can easily master N languages, so it is easier for globalization to harvest fans around the world."

The virtual idol on the poster is from one of the world's top painters within Bluestar Technology. Its style of painting has a transparent and light feeling. Under the dreamy blue of the blockbuster, the details of Bluestar Technology's dynamic future are everywhere. .

If you want to be liked by the majority of young people in the next ten or fifteen years, the fresh and fun concept elements of virtual idols are essential.

The plans were quickly arranged clearly. One was an artificial intelligence-based "online cloud translation" plan, and the other was an artificial intelligence-based "virtual idol" plan. Both project plans were developed with high confidentiality. Although the joint development of Star Technology is a company founded by Luo Sheng, both parties are independent accounting businesses, and the process that should be followed is still indispensable.

The first project team is expected to need 6,000 people to the end. This is a time-consuming and labor-intensive layout that is absolutely worth the money.

The second project team is expected to need a scale of 2,000 people. Either do not play, and if you want to play, set the goal to be the pole of the world!

The financial budget is also generous. The first project budget starts at 2 billion US dollars, and the second project budget starts at 1 billion US dollars.
