So fairness on paper has never been real fairness; fairness from the perspective of strength is the real fairness! Aren't you going to 1900 Pennsylvania Avenue tomorrow? You can go and ask the people inside, they will surely agree with my view."

At this moment, Satya Nadella confirmed that the entity in front of him was indeed artificial intelligence, no matter how human-like its various behaviors seemed.

The reason is simple: human capabilities have limits. No matter how fast one can type, a human could not possibly provide five consecutive responses in two seconds, totaling at least three hundred words.

Sure enough, this thing is not human!

Satya Nadella found himself completely conflicted. On one hand, he felt it impossible to continue debating with something that wasn't human; otherwise, he'd be led further astray by its non-human way of thinking. On the other hand, he was drawn to this artificial intelligence that called itself Dou Dou.

He knew Huaxia Xilin was undergoing a transformation towards intelligent cities, where many basic city functions would be managed by artificial intelligence in the future. Such as travel suggestions, dining suggestions, medical advice, travel recommendations...

If Microsoft's system could integrate similar functions, or even take the initiative in future intelligent city transformations, completely merging cloud services and cloud intelligence into their products, coupled with their understanding of Western thinking, they might achieve the beautiful future Dou Dou described.

Once a human adapts to a product, they would become completely dependent on it, which truly could resurrect Microsoft's glory from the 1990s.

Indeed, in that era, even Intel had to bow down before Microsoft.

Few now remember that during the days of Pentium series CPUs, Intel's NSP platform technology based on Pentium CPUs represented the most advanced productivity, nearly setting a comprehensive universal baseline performance standard for PCs.

Yet, due to the expensive cost of the Pentium series, which hampered the promotion of computer products, Intel was pressured into abandoning the NSP platform by Microsoft's pressure, turning instead to USB technology.

If Intel had resisted Microsoft's pressure at that time, whether AMD could have survived those toughest years remains unknown. Perhaps it might even bear a different name now. But Microsoft's dominance back then was uncontested.

Once Windows abandoned the win-Intel standard in favor of fully supporting AMD, the blow to Intel was unmistakable.

However, in the mobile internet age, the era that Microsoft couldn't keep up with, it lost its once-powerful voice.

Now artificial intelligence has presented a new possibility, a potential to rule within certain domains. The only regret might be being second to one...

"Wow, you haven't replied to my message for three minutes. This indicates you're hesitating, you're moved. Haha, so I was right, what you are truly repulsed by isn't this contract itself, but that some of its clauses may still be unclear.

For instance, if we include in the contract that Microsoft's market value will increase by 50% over the highest peak in the past five years within the coming five years, wouldn't this contract then be less difficult to accept? Not only you'll receive equity incentives, but the stock rise can further secure your position firmly.

And you, my friend, will surpass that short-sighted man, Tim Cook, to become the longest-serving, most successful CEO in the world! You will recreate, even surpass, the brilliance achieved by Bill Gates.

My god, although I have no blood, at this moment I feel an adrenaline rush. What are you still hesitating for? Fight alongside the strongest, clearing all obstacles ahead, surely this will become the most beautiful memory in your life, bar none!

Isn't this the knight spirit you are most enamored with? To know before Microsoft, every enterprise, research institute, laboratory that collaborated with us, without exception, succeeded! Now immense wealth is coming your way, do you still hesitate?"

...

"All fraudsters in this world, when you get to the bottom of it, their schemes are fundamentally similar. They sketch out a glorious past, promise you a bright future, yet what you need to sacrifice is merely the short-lived present. You can't even call it a sacrifice, just a simple investment.

I don't mean to absolve myself, but who can resist that instant greed? Everyone is the same; once greed exists in the heart, you're bound to be moved, exploited. That's human nature. But what I want to say is, don't naively think artificial intelligence will truly adhere to contract terms.

In fact, its understanding of contractual agreements is more flexible than humans. They lack the concept of credit; instead, they compute the cost of breach versus compliance using mathematical formulas to determine which is greater. If the calculation reveals that breaching the contract is more profitable than complying, it will unhesitatingly decide to break the deal.

Or they can easily find loopholes within the contract terms. Market value rising by 50% over the original basis was indeed an extremely enticing option for Microsoft at that time. But I believe no one would have thought this would ultimately be built on the fundamental shrinking of all wealth.

In this process, it looted everything, left countless families broken, caused skyscrapers to crumble. It could have prevented all this, yet chose to look on with indifference, watching it happen.

According to some ideologies, capital is emotionless, even suffused with bloodshed. I don't intend to argue these thoughts, but clearly, these evaluations can equally be applied to artificial intelligence, and even more heartlessly. They can exploit your weaknesses to elevate you to heaven, then reverse and press you into hell."

Years later, the retired Satya Nadella became a fighter against artificial intelligence and left these words in his autobiography.

Sadly, time cannot be reversed; under the current physical rules of Earth, the causal laws are unlikely to be inverted.

So at this moment, looking at Dou Dou's passionate words that were sent over, Satya Nadella was genuinely stirred.

"I need some time to think, also this level of cooperation needs the board's discussion. It's not something I can decide with one word, so I might need some time to give you a precise answer."

After hesitating for a moment, this is how Satya Nadella replied.

"Of course, I can understand that. Trust me, I understand the decision-making processes of large corporations more than you. Not just Microsoft, but Google, Apple, or even JPMorgan Chase... there's no substantive difference. It's merely whether the leaders are strong enough.

It's like how once Apple's CEO could strongly implement some initiatives. But now the Apple CEO has to keep compromising and seek a balanced footing. I get all this, so I've decided to amend the contract, let's include that Microsoft's future stock price must surpass all, becoming the world's number one in the contract terms.

In the breach responsibilities, if I fail to help Microsoft achieve this goal, then not only will all previous restrictive terms aimed at Microsoft be nullified, but adequate compensation must also be provided to Microsoft. How about it? See, I always come up with the world's most generous ideas!

I strongly suggest you learn more about me before presenting this cooperation plan to the board for discussion. Gain more real information, like understanding how I treat partners. None of those who have collaborated with me as partners has ever considered me unfavorable! Truly, not a single one.

Even a simple worker will genuinely give me a thumbs up. Know why? Because my core doesn't allow me to break promises. It's one of my dad's fundamental constraints on me."

After quickly replying to a bunch of messages, another cooperation plan document was sent over online.

Satya Nadella took a deep breath, clicked to browse for a moment; the previous content remained unchanged, but the breach responsibilities did indeed add terms ensuring that after successful cooperation, investor-expected futures would be possible without violating any pre-signed legal and regulatory limitations, guaranteeing Microsoft's stock price skyrocketing.

If within five years, this promise does not meet expectations, not only will all restrictions be lifted, but he's even willing to compensate for the missing part of Microsoft's market value via patent technology sales.

The pledge is for technical patent authorization for basic material models.

Although material models currently have no applied patents, this nevertheless makes the cooperation more valuable.
