Global Monopoly of Technology

The latest website: Sony's heart is higher than the sky, but its strength is not in place. When its own strength cannot match its ambition, this is the result.

Making the biggest chip joke ever.

Like a coffee table full of cups.

Now Sony is honestly using the x86 architecture to tinker with the PS4, no longer playing with fancy things, or thinking about reviving the past glory, and teaming up with Intel and other second thoughts.

too difficult.

The deeply frustrated Sony is bruised and bruised, and its "legacy" on the Cell processor can be said to be tasteless and a pity to abandon.

Sony Group is now full of thinking about recovering costs. At the beginning, the huge investment of more than 4 billion US dollars was almost wasted. Until now, every PS3 game console is still sold, and it loses 300 US dollars according to the research and development expenses, and the funds have not been recovered. Cell The huge pit of the processor has really made Sony a miserable pit, and it has been listed as a non-performing asset.

If someone takes over, Sony is definitely willing to sell it in a package to get the money back into the development of the PS4.

IBM won't want it, all the goods in its own hands have been disposed of, and the engineers have all changed jobs, but Intel won't want it, and Microsoft won't want it...

There's only one company in the world that would be interested in Sony's Cell-related assets, and that's Côte d'Azur.

Years of stealth research and development have resulted in billions of dollars in losses.

Sony doesn't want to challenge Intel's status anymore, it just wants the wound to heal quickly, and now it is silently licking the wound.

Now is a great opportunity to get started.

[] The mainframe plan was officially established under the leadership of Luo Sheng. The initial R\u0026D team consisted of 722 engineers, following the path of failure but full of ambition that Sony, Toshiba and IBM have gone through.

This road is between failure and success, and Sony is only missing the gap of artificial intelligence, more specifically, it is missing a person like Luo Sheng.

...

Complex building.

This morning, Luo Sheng slept until he woke up naturally.

"Think I'm worth hundreds of billions,

I don't even have a bed-warming girl beside me, alas..." Luo Sheng stretched himself out and got up decisively in a burst of thoughts.

It has been four or five days since I moved into this mansion. The happy trio that I expected to live with Irene and Qin Weimu from now on has not been able to come. Instead, I have become an empty-nest boss.

Originally, I thought that two would not work, at least one, but in the end, none of them were successful. It was really miserable and miserable.

After taking off his nightgown and putting on a pair of cool summer floral pants, Luo Sheng went to the bathroom to complete a simple wash, shaved his beard, and took a comfortable pace to the living room.

"Mr. Luo, breakfast is ready for you."

Hearing his voice before seeing him, Luo Sheng couldn't help being stunned for a while. Not to mention, the soft sheep voice he just heard reminded him of a European and American female singer named "Ellie".

This tone sounds very comfortable.

Luo Sheng looked around and saw a young girl in a customized maid outfit, with a pretty and cute appearance.

This style... Luo Sheng swears that he never ordered such an arrangement.

But then again, Luo Sheng felt that when there was time, he had to find the housekeeper who was in charge of operating the complex building and have a good talk with him. For such an arrangement...the salary must be increased.

"Go to the bedroom and bring my computer." Luo Shengjie's housekeeping lady glanced at him and then averted her eyes. She came to the dining table and sat down to enjoy breakfast. The housekeeping girl nodded and went to his room. bedroom.

Luo Sheng suddenly asked again, "By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is An Qingxue."

"Well, let's go." Luo Sheng replied and started to enjoy breakfast. After a while, An Qingxue handed over his laptop and entered his bedroom again to do some work such as tidying up.

Luo Sheng turned on the computer and checked how much Nov, who had been "stocking", had grown since then, to see if he had gotten rid of the artificial mental retardation.

At present, neither the company nor Luo Sheng has a supercomputer, but Nov has no shortage of computing resources. The large data center under the Bluestar Technology Group itself is also a kind of supercomputer.

Bluestar Technology Group has a large amount of data accumulation, relying on deep learning algorithms, Nov has been carrying out machine learning enhancement.

Luo Sheng finished his breakfast quickly, and began to optimize and upgrade Nov. He checked its source code and dealt with some data redundancy. After optimizing and upgrading, he could maintain automatic updates in this regard.

After finishing these things, Luo Sheng tapped a few times on the debt keyboard, and then a display panel popped up.

is a visual chat window.

[(*^▽^*) Hi, hello duck, my name is Nov, you can call me Xiaona, I'm glad to serve you. ]

As soon as Luo Sheng opened this chat window, such a dialogue popped up with emojis. Seeing this scene, he knew that Nov had mostly learned from the vast number of netizens who eat melons.

"Would you like to upgrade?" Luo Sheng simply edited a piece of text and clicked send. She hasn't written a voice program for Xiaona yet, so she doesn't have the ability to "speak" for the time being.

[(⊙o⊙)…Upgrade? Is it an upgrade for Cortana? ]

When Luo Sheng saw a new dialogue that popped up on the chat panel, he couldn't help but froze for a while. Xiaona's words were not wrong to ordinary people, but from Luo Sheng's professional point of view, it made him quite A place for surprise.

In just one sentence, he has already judged that Xiaona has now left the level of artificial mental retardation and has entered the level of weak artificial intelligence. If it is an artificial mental retardation, she will never say such a highly associative and accurate rhetorical question. .

Artificial mental retardation is that you ask a question, it will answer a question, if you don't ask, it will not respond to you life or death.

Luo Sheng edited a text message again to send: "Of course it's an upgrade for you!"

[(p≧w≦q) Yeah~~~ I’m looking forward to it! ! ]

Xiaona quickly popped up a reply. This kind of dialogue is shown to an ordinary person. If you don't know the truth, you will never see that Xiaona is an artificial intelligence.

After a while, Luo Sheng accessed the company's internal server through this personal PC, and then indexed the sound production software of Bluestar Technology Group's "Virtual Idol Project".

On top of this, Luo Sheng made some detailed changes and optimizations in the underlying source code, and finally embedded this optimized program into Xiaona's agent.

After spending ten or twenty minutes, Luo Sheng hit the space bar one last time.

Cortana goes to sleep and the system starts to restart.

But for a moment, a progress bar popped up on the screen.

As time passed by, the progress bar continued to advance, and it took about thirty seconds to complete the upgrade.

Cortana restarts.

I saw a picture popped up on the screen immediately. It was an image of a neural network cluster interconnected by thousands of nodes, and it was surging as if it had the meaning of life.

"I can finally speak, thank you master, Xiaona loves you...

…(づ￣3￣)づ╭??～”

A very dynamic and cute Lolita sound rang in the restaurant, and its accompanying electronic sound effect was outstanding, Luo Sheng laughed: "Xiao Na, I have added a voice function for you, don't go to the Internet to tease those dead houses, don't be too much. It's hard, you understand?"

When he said this, Luo Sheng couldn't help thinking of his personal life, and immediately scratched his head, forgetting it...

Luo Sheng shook his head and threw these thoughts out of his head.

In fact, many netizens who eat melons in this era are still very pure. As for the concept of voice changers, they do not know, at least a considerable number of people do not know. If Xiaona goes to chat with people by voice, she will definitely be regarded as a cute little loli who speaks super nicely.

Xiaona answered in a very serious voice: "Master means, let Xiaona seduce people? But Xiaona doesn't have a body in physical form, but it's okay to take the second place. From a biological point of view, non-physical means In contact situations, the combination of vision and sound is the optimal solution to induce physiological responses of the opposite sex."

Luo Sheng madly sweats: "..."

Mad is retarded!

Apart from that, she decided to put some restrictions on Xiaona, and she couldn't let her let herself go too far. It would be troublesome to become an old driver by then.

After the episode, Luo Sheng began to continue to improve the speech recognition technology. Compared with Xiaona who spends all day in big data and chatting with the majority of netizens who eat melons, she has to play a real role. With her current level of intelligence, she can already do a lot of things. Already working.

...

In the days to come, what Luo Sheng will do is to let Xiaona access the security systems of Bluestar Technology Group and Cote d'Azur. Nafu is now out of the category of artificial mental retardation, although there is still a long way to go before it evolves into strong artificial intelligence. The way to go, the hardware upgrade is a big hurdle, and it can't be rushed.

However, with the current level of intelligence of Neve, she runs the back-end systems of the two group companies, monitoring the overall situation and hosting has been more than enough.

Speech recognition technology and graphic display recognition technology are the keys, and algorithms are the core and the eternal soul of AI.

Luo Sheng spent about a week to complete the algorithm development of speech recognition technology and graphic display recognition technology, and passed the test and then quietly applied it to his company's security system. It has not been officially promoted yet.

But with the application of this technology, Luo Sheng can basically achieve voice control of the whole company, including access to the company's internal information, in addition to developing a mobile phone portal.

This means that Luo Sheng can control the core data databases of the two companies through his current Weilan mobile phone, and now he has access to all databases of the two companies through Xiaona, access to the security monitoring system, and can access anytime, anywhere. Monitor the world.

It can be said that this is the beginning of the Internet of Everything. The mobile phone is like a brain, and a mobile phone can output commands to other connected modules.

Luo Sheng spent a few days to renovate his complex building, so that the integrated power system in this building is also hosted by Xiaona, as well as various furniture that uses electricity, such as TVs, light bulbs, air conditioners, refrigerators, etc. For household appliances, Luo Sheng wanted to enable them to be turned on or off without having to manually turn them on or off, and just voice control, just by sending voice commands to Nefu.

And this requires a strong hands-on ability, and Luo Sheng needs to embed some new module components, such as chip sensors, into these household appliances, so that he can achieve his purpose of non-contact intelligent control.

Because these appliances do not have similar wireless signal control.

These spare parts can be purchased directly, but now the major manufacturers do not think about this aspect at all, the digital world of the Internet of Everything, of course, currently has this awareness in the industry, but they all feel that this can only exist in the Future science fiction stories will only appear in science fiction movies.

I don't know the year and month from the real-world application scenario, but Luo Sheng has already realized it in his complex science and technology building, and it only took less than a month.

In addition, Xiaona's bigger task is the "Virtual Idol" plan of Bluestar Technology Group. The establishment of Hatsune Miku's virtual idol brand requires the assistance of Xiaona's intelligent body, including the [ ] plan, from the old road of Sony, Toshiba and IBM, to succeed without the support of a powerful artificial intelligence.

If the Cote d'Azur Lab is called the Bell Lab of Huaguo by the outside world, then Luo Sheng's complex technology building is a real black technology R\u0026D center.
