Global monopoly of technology

Sony's heart is higher than the sky, but the strength is not in place. When its own strength does not match its ambition, this is the result.

Created the biggest chip joke in history.

It's like a coffee table full of cups.

Now Sony is honestly using the x86 architecture to fiddle with PS4, no longer playing any fancy things, and no longer thinking about reviving the past glory, and teaming up with Intel and other secondary ideas.

too difficult.

Sony was so frustrated and bruised, the "legacy" on the Cell processor can be said to be tasteless and a pity to discard it.

Sony Group is now full of brains to recover costs. At the beginning, the huge sum of more than 4 billion US dollars was almost wiped out. Until now, every PS3 game console sold, it is still a loss of 300 US dollars according to the research and development expenses. The funds have not been returned. Cell The huge pit of the processor really made Sony pit it badly, and it has been listed as a bad asset.

If someone takes over, Sony is absolutely willing to pack it up and sell it to withdraw funds to invest in PS4 development.

IBM won't want it, all the goods in its hands have been dealt with, and the engineers have been transferred, and Intel will not want it, and Microsoft will not want it...

There is only one company in the world that is interested in Sony’s Cell related assets, and that is the Cote d'Azur.

After several years of stealth research and development, they lost billions of dollars.

Sony now doesn't want to challenge Intel's position anymore. It just wants the wound to heal expressly. Now it is silently licking the wound.

Right now is a great opportunity to take action.

[ACC] The mainframe plan was formally established under the leadership of Luo Sheng. The initial R&D team has a team of 722 engineers, which is the failed but ambitious road that Sony, Toshiba and IBM have taken.

Between failure and success on this road, Sony has only one artificial intelligence gap, more specifically, Luo Sheng.

...

Complex building.

Early this morning, Luo Sheng went to bed and woke up naturally.

"I think I'm worth hundreds of billions, and I don't even have a bed-warming sister around me, oh..." Luo Sheng stretched out in a burst of thoughts and got up decisively.

It has been four or five days since I moved into this mansion, and I expected to live a happy trio with Irene and Qin Weimu from then on. The happy life failed to come, and instead became an empty nest boss.

I thought that the two would not work, at least one of them, but I didn't get any of them. It was really miserable.

He took off his nightgown and replaced it with a pair of cool summer pants. Luo Sheng went to the bathroom to complete a simple wash, shaved off his beard by the way, and took a comfortable step to the living room.

"Mr. Luo, breakfast has been prepared for you."

Before he heard his voice, Luo Sheng couldn't help but froze for a while. Not to mention, the soft sheep sound he just heard reminded him of a European and American female singer named "Ellie".

This tone sounds very comfortable.

Luo Sheng followed the prestige and saw a young girl wearing 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 he had time, he had to find the butler in charge of the operation of the complex and talk to him. For arrangements like this... you must process capital.

"Go to the bedroom and get my computer." The housekeeping lady Luo Shengzhe glanced at her body and looked away. She went to the dining table and sat down to enjoy breakfast. The housekeeping lady nodded and went to him. bedroom.

Luo Sheng suddenly asked the latter: "By the way, what is your name?"

"My name is An Qingxue."

"Well, let's go." Luo Sheng replied and began to enjoy breakfast. After a while, An Qingxue handed over his laptop and entered his bedroom again to do tidying and other tasks.

Luo Sheng turned on the computer and checked how much Nov has grown since "stocking" to see if he has escaped from artificial mental retardation.

At present, whether the company or Luo Sheng personally, there is no supercomputer, but Nov has no shortage of computing resources. The large data center under the Bluestar Technology Group is also a kind of supercomputer.

The Bluestar Technology Group has a large amount of data deposits. Relying on deep learning algorithms, Nov has been strengthening machine learning.

Luo Sheng quickly finished the breakfast and started to optimize and upgrade for Nov. After checking its source code and processing some data redundancy, after the optimization and upgrade, the automatic update in this respect can be maintained.

After finishing this, Luo Sheng tapped a few times on the skilled debt keyboard, and a display panel popped up immediately.

It is a visual chat window.

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

Luo Sheng just opened the chat window and there was such a dialogue with emoji. He knew that Nov mostly learned from the majority of netizens.

"Do you want to upgrade?" Luo Sheng simply edited a paragraph of text and clicked to send. She hasn't written a voice program for Xiaona yet, so she doesn't have the ability to "speak" temporarily.

[(⊙o⊙)...Upgrade?Is it an upgrade for Xiaona?]

When Luo Sheng saw a new dialogue that popped up on the chat panel, he was stunned. Xiaona’s words seemed to be nothing wrong with ordinary people, but from a professional point of view, Luo Sheng was quite surprised. A place for surprises.

With just one sentence, he has already judged that Xiaona has now broken away from the level of artificial intellectual disability and has entered the level of weak artificial intelligence. If it is an artificial intellectual disability, he will never say such highly associative and accurate rhetorical questions. .

Artificial mental retardation is always when you ask one sentence, and it answers one sentence. If you don't ask, it will not respond to you life or death.

Luo Sheng edited a text message again and sent it: "Of course it is for you to upgrade!"

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

Xiaona quickly popped up a reply. This kind of conversation was shown to an ordinary person. If you don't know the truth, you can never tell 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 embed the optimized program into Xiaona's agent.

It took ten or twenty minutes, and Luo Sheng hit the space bar for the last time after it was done.

Cortana goes to sleep and the system starts to restart.

But for a moment, a progress bar appeared on the screen.

As time passed, the progress bar kept advancing, and it took about thirty seconds to complete the upgrade.

Cortana restarted.

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

"Finally I can talk, thank you Master, Xiaona loves you...

…3╭❤”

A very dynamic, grateful and cute loli sound sounded in the restaurant. The accompanying electronic sound effect was outstanding. Luo Sheng smiled: "Xiao Na, I have added a voice function to you. Don't go to the Internet to tease those dead houses. I'm bothered, understand?"

When he said this, Luo Sheng couldn't help but think of his personal life, and immediately scratched his head, no matter what...

Luo Sheng shook his head and threw these thoughts from his head.

In fact, many people who eat melon in this era are still very pure. As for the concept of voice changer, they don't know, at least quite a few people don't.If Xiaona went to chat with someone by voice, she would definitely be regarded as a super cute little Lolita.

Xiaona answered in a very serious voice: "Does the master say that Xiaona should seduce people? But Xiaona doesn't have a physical body, but it's okay to put it second. From a biological point of view, non-physical means Under the contact situation, if you want to cause the opposite sex's physiological reaction, the combination of vision and sound is the best solution."

Luo Sheng Khan: "..."

Made mentally retarded!

Aside from anything else, decisively put some restrictions on Xiaona, and can't let her free herself too much. It will 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 let Xiaona gag on big data and chat with the majority of netizens, she must play a real role. With her current level of intelligence, she can do a lot. Already working.

...

In the following days, what Luo Sheng did was to allow Xiaona to access the security systems of Bluestar Technology Group and the Blue Coast Company. Now Nave has been out of the category of artificial intelligence, although there is still a long way to go to evolve to strong artificial intelligence. The way to go, the upgrade of hardware is a big hurdle.

But with Neve’s current level of intelligence, letting her run on the back-end systems of the two group companies, monitoring the overall situation and trusteeship has been overwhelming.

Speech recognition technology and image display recognition technology are the key, and the algorithm is the core, which is the eternal soul of AI.

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

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

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

It can be said that this is the beginning of the Internet of Everything. A mobile phone is like a brain. One 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 electric furniture, such as TVs, light bulbs, air conditioners, refrigerators, etc. For household appliances, Luo Sheng wants to enable these to be turned on or off manually, just by direct voice control, just by sending voice commands to Nave.

And this requires extremely strong hands-on ability, and Luo Sheng needs to embed some new module components, such as chip sensors, into these household appliances, and get these to achieve his non-contact intelligent control and control purposes.

Because these appliances do not yet have similar wireless signal control.

These parts and accessories can be purchased directly, but now major manufacturers have not thought about this at all. The digital world of the Internet of Everything, of course, currently has this knowledge in the industry, but they all feel that this can only exist in Future science fiction stories will only appear in science fiction movies.

I don't know how long and how long the application scenarios are from the real world, but Luo Sheng has already implemented it in his complex technology building, and it only took less than a month.

In addition, Xiaona’s bigger task is the Bluestar Technology Group’s "virtual idol" plan. The establishment of Hatsune Miku, a virtual idol brand, requires the assistance of Xiaona’s intelligent body, including the Blue Coast company [ ACC] plan, from the old path of Sony, Toshiba and IBM, success is inseparable from the support of a powerful artificial intelligence.

If the Côte d’Azur Lab is called the Bell Labs of China, then Luo Sheng’s complex technology building is a real black technology research and development center.
