#582-Chapter 582

On July 21, Trump formally accepted the nomination of the Republican Party of the United States for president.

On July 25, the latest CNN poll results: Trump's approval rating exceeds the Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton by "44%: 39%".

When the news came out, it caused an uproar worldwide.

You know, Trump is different from the previous presidential candidates of the United States. In the eyes of countless people, he is just like a clown.

If he can be elected, he would have answered that sentence, the sky has eyes, and the sky will perish America.

Zhao Ziming sat alone in the public opinion analysis room of the group headquarters, watching the CNN report, and various thoughts flashed in his mind.

Whenever there is a difficult question, he has to ponder for a long time alone to find a way to break the game.

As a powerful leader, although he has spent a lot of effort to form the company's think tank, all decisions are made by him, and others can only give a suggestion or reference.

What everyone expects is power and responsibility.

He needs to have a forward-looking courage and maintain an extremely calm mind.

Zhao Ziming learned an important trick "loneliness training" from a senior and realized the value of loneliness.

A person can cultivate his own power only when he is alone.

You can only rely on yourself, you must judge your relationship with others at all times, and think about the most effective way to solve problems.Gradually, self-awareness begins to form.

Loneliness not only makes people focus and thinks things deeply, but also cultivates strong self-power.Because you have nothing to rely on, everything depends on yourself, on your own consciousness and experience.

Almost every major decision is the result of Zhao Ziming's repeated thinking and weighing in the quiet room alone.

Although CNN's polls seem to be a joke to many people, Zhao Ziming has sounded a wake-up call.

At the beginning, he was determined to join forces with the Knicks to intervene in the election and provide technical support for Cambridge Analytica.

But there is not much confidence in Trump's election.

After all, no matter how you look at it, the technology circle, the entertainment circle, the media circle...

Personality, character, birth...

Hillary's victory far exceeds Trump.

Today, CNN polls show "44:39", and his statistics also support this result.

If there is no big black swan incident, you can almost celebrate the opponent in advance to seal the victory.

For this result, Zhao Ziming was both prepared and surprised.

As for the power of artificial intelligence, he is the person with the most extensive knowledge and deepest experience on the planet.

It is not unacceptable to win the election with Cambridge Analytica's participation in Trump's campaign team.

However, when this day did come, he found that he was not ready yet.

Not to mention other things, Trump’s big mouth, bottomless style of work, and rebellious style have also cast a shadow on this ARM merger.

Perhaps, vetoing ARM mergers and acquisitions is not just a threat on his lips.

Zhao Ziming was a little bit dumb when thinking of this, but he didn't expect to create a trouble for himself.

As the saying goes, once things are created, they try their best to get rid of the manipulation of the creator.

To push Trump to power, for him, it can be said to be asking for hardship.

Once the US government vetoed the merger, Zhao Ziming could only abandon the US market. When that happens, it will not only be the chip business, but also other products. It will definitely be a heavy blow to the digital group.

Of course, if things happen again, he will still choose to intervene. Compared with a little loss, the gain from mixing is too great.

Before, the reason why he joined forces with the Knicks was only for sociological testing and for the collision of technology and human nature.

As for whether Trump is elected, it is not within the scope of consideration.

With the development of artificial intelligence to this day, breakthroughs have been made in various fields. It can even be said that the "technical singularity" is about to come (Kuzweil thinks it will be around 2045).

Only in the field of sociology is still in the era of chaos.

Although the contemporary era has accumulated a lot of sociological related data and began to have a deeper understanding of society, it takes time and accumulation to clearly outline the essential laws of the operation of things.

The four aspects of artificial intelligence: speech recognition, visual recognition, data mining and machine learning.

Speech recognition and visual recognition have been fully utilized, translation wisdom is in full swing, and the sky-eye project is overwhelming.

Data mining, extracting models from existing data, simultaneously in multiple industries, and achieved amazing achievements, e-commerce, social, finance, law...

Only in the field of humanity itself, in the field of sociology, it is still dark and difficult, and there is no influential conclusion so far.

As the current Yale University professor Nicholas A. Christakis said, society has developed into the Tycho era, but it is far from the Kepler era (Tycho accumulated data and Kepler proposed the laws of celestial bodies).

In the Tycho era, after a large amount of data was accumulated and absorbed, modern people's understanding of the world has deepened, and human society has gradually entered the stage of being able to understand society through data.

The US election is an excellent experiment. Through observation and testing, to truly understand and even master some of the laws, to a certain extent, its significance is no less than the arrival of a technological singularity.

Kurzweil believes that artificial intelligence develops at a power-law acceleration. By 2045, strong artificial intelligence will eventually appear.

It took decades for artificial intelligence to finally reach the level of infant intelligence.Then, something terrible happened. One hour after reaching this node, the computer immediately deduced Einstein’s theory of relativity; and one and a half hours later, this strong artificial intelligence became a super artificial intelligence, and the intelligence reached instantaneously. 170,000 times that of ordinary humans.This is the "singularity" that changes the human race.

Of course, in 2045, will the singularity come, and will human beings cede their civilization to artificial intelligence?

It is a question that cannot be verified temporarily.

And such a large-scale sociological experiment is self-evident for Zhao Ziming, for the digital group, and for the development of artificial intelligence.

It can even be guessed that if there is no progress in sociology, strong artificial intelligence will never be born.

Zhao Ziming's team even designed a number of test models specifically for this, in an effort to discover the treasures buried in them.

In this case, Trump's election can only be a "surprise joy".

Zhao Ziming remembered his previous cynicism, combined with the judgment given by his personality model, if he wants the ARM merger case to be successfully concluded, he can probably only exchange interests.

As a mature businessman, Trump naturally knows what he needs most.
