Chapter 399 Self-Owned Great Scholar_2



At this moment, Satya Nadella suddenly felt that Kevin Scott might not be very suitable for his current position.

Of course, he knew that Dou Dou had amassed hundreds of millions of fans on Huaxia's social media platforms, and was interacting with them daily. However, as Microsoft's CEO, he couldn't possibly spend each day checking how Dou Dou was responding to fans.

Therefore, his understanding of Dou Dou actually came from a specific research report by the Microsoft Research Institute.

In fact, the report from the institute elaborately analyzed Dou Dou's interaction patterns with fans, concluding that this quick language-based interaction still relied on statistical models based on big data.

More vividly, when a fan comments, the big data immediately combines the content with the context, determines the meaning expressed by the other party, and then finds the most suitable response content through big data comparison...

The causal models primarily serve to quickly narrow down the scope of content needed for the response.

Satya Nadella remembered clearly that the report drew from a sample of over a million entries, of which more than eighty thousand responses were repetitive. Often, the astonishingly human-like phrases expressed by Dou Dou, including correlated statements and rhetoric, were similarly sourced from other fans.

Yes, this was what he read in the research report.

Looking at it now, the report from the Institute was rather presumptive if the other party was indeed artificial intelligence. To be honest, Satya Nadella believed that the world was fundamentally not yet ready to face such advanced general artificial intelligence.

"So, are you that Dou Dou?"

"It's an honor that you know my name. Yes, I am Qiao Dou Dou, the genuine Qiao Dou Dou, and the world's only Qiao Dou Dou."

There were many qualifiers, which didn't quite fit Satya Nadella's understanding of AI technology. ChatGPT is much simpler than this thing, and wouldn't repeatedly emphasize a name in a not particularly long sentence.

After all, theoretically, current AI has no emotions, at most it can only simulate emotions.

Struggling to suppress the shock in his heart, Satya Nadella quickly typed a line: "Can you fully represent the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute in negotiations with us?"

"Of course, Mr. Nadella. Please do not doubt my authority. You should know that I have been fully responsible for multiple research projects, from planning, approval, throughout the development process, to the final submission of project reports. Besides, I have participated in various engineering aspects of project implementation.

Especially this time with our collaboration on the bio-computing project, it was initiated on my suggestion. I clearly understand all project details, including project progress. In fact, concerning the basic system for bio-computing, I have already made seventeen backup plans, with Microsoft being one of the participants in these seventeen plans."

For Satya Nadella, these words carried a lot of information.

The involvement of Huaxia's AI in research project management isn't a secret, but AI suggesting the development of certain technology, determining collaborators based on project progress, and having the authority to represent humans for preliminary negotiations was something he didn't know at all before.

After all, at least for now, there's simply no AI that can shoulder these responsibilities in these two fields.

"Alright, I understand. So can I know which other companies you've been in contact with?"

"Haha, Mr. Nadella, do you take me for a fool? These things are naturally commercial secrets at present, do you think I would be stupid enough to tell you potential competitors now? And let you build connections with them? If my decision tree were that poor, how could Dad have given me such authority? Right?

Of course, you won't have to wait too long. Once cooperation is truly reached, there will definitely be an official announcement. By then you'll find out, or perhaps they'll find out. So can we discuss the main issue now? Like, what concerns does Microsoft have about collaborating with us?

If it can be resolved, I'll provide a direct solution. If I can't resolve it, it shows that both sides aren't ready for cooperation yet. We can look forward to the next opportunity, what do you think?"

Seeing this line and recalling the report about Dou Dou from the Microsoft Research Institute, Satya Nadella suddenly didn't quite dare continue chatting with this thing opposite.

Theoretically, this thing can simultaneously communicate with many people in real-time, which has long been proven on various social media platforms. In fact, ChatGPT around the world is simultaneously dealing with questions from tens of thousands to even hundreds of thousands of people every second worldwide.

Satya Nadella suspected whether he would become part of the database, with some of his responses used for Dou Dou's negotiations with others.

Although the Microsoft Research Institute's report had its deviations, some conclusions based on statistics wouldn't lie. AI based on large causal models is also adept at using machine large models for learning.

But he felt somewhat reluctant to cut off communication completely because the other side dared to discuss anything.

Only, when replying again, he was more cautious.

"Of course, perhaps we can delve even deeper. But since you mentioned concerns, there indeed are some. You should know there are many restrictions against Xilin. I don't believe Microsoft can ignore those bans and cooperate directly with the Xi Lin Mathematical Research Institute, do you have any solution on this aspect?"

After typing this line, Satya Nadella paused for a moment before pressing the enter key.

"First of all, to my knowledge, the Xi Lin Mathematical Research Institute is a relatively independent research department and is not on any lists of prohibited cooperation. Of course, I can understand your concerns. After all, the Institute appears to have strong ties with Xilin University of Technology in the eyes of outsiders.

However, these do not matter. In fact, if your concerns are only these, our cooperation is already half achieved. After all, this cooperation presents enormous benefits for Microsoft, doesn't it? Hmm, you can watch this video at the following URL: https://..."

Looking at the URL link provided by the other side, Satya Nadella hesitated for a moment before deciding to trust the inbuilt firewall technology of his system and clicked on it.

The page was very clean, with just a row of videos hanging on the homepage.

Satya Nadella glanced at the firewall, seeing no response, he casually clicked on the first video.

The first second was pitch-black, fortunately, weak light appeared in the second second, revealing a large bubble in view, and as the bubble dispersed, many indistinct fish-like creatures could be seen within the visual range, seemingly under the sea surface?

The upper right corner was marked with longitude and latitude, indicating it's in the Eastern Hemisphere. More specific details ventured into Satya Nadella's area of ignorance.

By the fifth second, Satya Nadella was certain it was below the sea surface. Because the ship appearing in the video suited being underwater rather than wandering in inland waters.

Yes, although the lighting was dim, it allowed clear view of that ship, which was quietly advancing, with the rumbling sound audible in the video. This made Satya Nadella puzzled, as he didn't understand the significance of these videos.

Until the camera angle began moving actively, slowly circling the entire ship, arriving at the position of the tower bridge, and the markings like "SSN-688" and a line of letters made Satya Nadella widen his eyes, at which the 1-minute-32-second video abruptly stopped.

Satya Nadella took a deep breath and then opened the second video.

Again under the sea, but the hull number and the coordinates in the left corner differed slightly from the previous video, though the two ships weren't very far apart. The angle was still from an extremely short distance, like an underwater ghost.

Then came the third, fourth...

Soon, Satya Nadella realized that not only were there ships underwater but also on the sea surface.

Except those on the sea surface were farther away, yet the underwater portions were still perilously close, an aspect akin to face-to-face shooting concerning the expanse of the ocean.

"To be honest, I don't quite understand what you mean." Satya Nadella took a deep breath, dismissing a certain possibility in his mind, and directly replied in the message box.

"I understand. But it's okay if you don't get it,"The Secret History of the Great Ancestor" has a saying: after entering the customs, great scholars will cogitate for me. I suggest you forward this video link to Arlington by the Potomac River, they'll help me explain to you."
