Chapter 41 Small role
"Nicole! How many times have you said that before each province commits fraud, you must do a detailed market survey to see if there are any other merchants selling hot sauce or surrounding edge-padded products that are already drying! If there are soft persimmons, we will do a bad situation and eat the soft persimmons directly to save trouble!"
"Please! When I negotiated with Li Lin, I said that I needed to create false litigation in 15 provinces. That was an exaggeration of the difficulty of the operation and told it to the customer! Why did you believe it? After following me for so long, I really can't tell what you said to deceive outsiders and what you said? It's really useless to teach you!"
"That! Who asked you to make a shell in every province or region of Gan, Ning, Xinjiang and Qinghai to respond to the lawsuit? Do you know how difficult it is for outsiders to get some big companies that can operate halal food licenses? Do you know that there are a lot of hot sauces from "L Godma" that have pork and lard that are not halal. In principle, it is not valuable to save on sales restrictions. You must make a new shell in halal to operate? Of course, we would rather pay more money and pay more tax in the lawsuit, and reuse the shell!"
"Cha? You said 'A shell only sues once and then abandons your child and runs away' This is the strategy I teach you? Then you also have to depend on the situation. It is easier to do this in the mainland because shells are not valuable. How troublesome are the Han people in remote areas to make a qualified shell? First-class xx second-class x, third-class xx fourth-class x, you have never heard of it!"
"Also, in Wuyue Province, we will go in two steps. First, we will make our own shell and cross-type fakes, and then find a way to take the initiative to admit defeat, create the momentum of similar precedents, and then you will concentrate on dealing with Deng Changchun!"
This day, the summer vacation is over.
The preliminaries of the domestic university debate competition have ended and the rematch is in progress.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Jinling Normal University team will be able to enter the semi-finals of the competition area.
Every game since then was finally qualified to be broadcast by CCTV Education Channel - during the preliminary round, because there were many teams, there was an average of one game in the four competition areas every day, and CCTV 10 sets could not take so many time periods to broadcast. After entering the semi-finals, because the schedule was three-quarters less than the preliminary round, CCTV could suddenly be arranged.
In the past nearly a month, Feng Jianxiong transformed into a remote control superman, and while training with his friends, he scrambled the team hard to compete and easily defeated the bottom opponent.
On the other hand, Snicker had to answer two or three training calls that were insulted by Feng Jianxiong almost every week. Of course, Brother Xiong would not deliberately insult Snicker. Every time, the girl could not understand the leader's operation methods and was trained only if she was mentally retarded.
However, under this remote control, Feng Jianxiong's operational cause of helping the "L Godma" company to strive for the famous judicial status has also steadily moved forward. Four or five provinces have completed the preliminary layout and entered the stage of anti-counterfeiting litigation.
Since Snicker took the initiative to go over and ask for training and became his girlfriend, Feng Jianxiong naturally cared about the girl in life and bed, but his work requirements have become more stringent.
Because he completely regarded Snicker as his own person, when the girl was not doing anything, Feng Jianxiong no longer needed to worry and scold her. He forced the girl to change jobs and gave up. When he trained, he would naturally do whatever he could do.
Although Snicker felt sad whenever he was taught a lesson, he knew that Brother Xiong was cursing her because he loved her and did not treat her as an outsider. He vaguely developed a sense of pride of shaking: "Hmph, seeing Brother Xiong is so polite to Sister Miqin, Sister Miqin wants to beg Brother Xiong to insult her, but Brother Xiong is too lazy to scold her."
Supported by this belief, Snicker actually adjusted his mentality quite well.
...
Jinling Normal University, indoor basketball hall. There are a lot of guests in the stands, and there are also provincial TV stations with cameras.
On the court, the team led by Feng Jianxiong is participating in this rematch is about to end. The current scene is quite beneficial to the Jinling Normal University where it is fighting at home.
The competition has entered the stage of summarizing the statements, so there is only the work of the fourth debater Yu Meiqin left at Jinling Normal University.
Feng Jianxiong and the other three players have finished their work.
The opponent in this rematch was Huaxia University of Science and Technology from Huihuai Province. This opponent was previously quite beyond Feng Jianxiong's side's expectations.
Although Huihuai Province has a backward economy, there are not many higher education institutions there at all. The number of competition areas in East China is second only to Jiangnan Province and Hujiang City, and it has even made Wuyue Province, a strong economic province that is so shameless.
In previous years, Huaxia University of Science and Technology was known for its natural sciences, but its liberal arts were weak, so it did not pay attention to its verbal skills. Although it was qualified to participate in the 985s without the election, it chose to abstain for a short half of the year. Even if it was in the competition, it would probably not be able to pass the first round.
This year, Huaxia University of Science and Technology did not expect to win any big victory. When they met Qianjiang University in the first round of the preliminary round, everyone thought they must be with Qianjiang University to accompany them.
So much so that after Feng Jianxiong and Tian Haimo, who killed Huazheng in the first game, had already begun to study the technical characteristics of the four team members of Qianjiang University and were preparing to deal with each other in a targeted manner.
However, the result of the competition between Huada University of Science and Technology and Qianda surprised everyone - the topic of that game was a type that favored the "impact of scientific outlook on human society". Qianda's first-vote pure liberal arts student made a fatal logical mistake and was beaten down.
The debate topic in the rematch is another topic that is quite friendly to hardcore science and engineering students: "Will the development of artificial intelligence threaten human employment opportunities?"
When the lottery was drawn, the University of Science and Technology of China drew the official side, while the Jinling Normal University was the opposite side.
If this question is drawn to the forefront by someone who does not understand science and engineering, it will be useless to have this powerful position of advantage. But the University of Science and Technology team does not belong to that situation
So, the debaters who had never tasted the taste of entering the semi-finals had a faint expectation in their hearts: Maybe this year can really create history. (Feng Jianxiong: I am here, but it doesn't exist.)
After all, Huaxia University of Science and Technology is the earliest awesome university in the field of artificial intelligence. Even though it is still in the second half of 2006, the domestic research on the deep learning coming from Canada has only been less than one year, but iFLYTEK is already a leader in the field of Chinese artificial intelligence input in China. In this debate team, there happened to be a graduate student who majored in intelligent recognition, which increases the confidence of the University of Science and Technology.
In theory, Huaxia University of Science and Technology is at the 985 level, and its level is much better than Jinling Normal. It should be the opponent's home court, so Feng Jianxiong and others rushed to Luzhou to compete.
However, because Jinling is adjacent to Huizhou, even the people of Huizhou themselves do not regard Luzhou as their provincial capital, so it is customary to come to Jinling. If Huazhong University of Science and Technology can win this game, the next opponent will be Jinling University, and Jinling University is definitely qualified to play at home. Those of the University of Science and Technology come earlier and can adapt to the environment in advance.
Of course, because of Feng Jianxiong's existence, these people's adaptation to the environment was destined to be in vain.
...
Perhaps because his business has been completed, Feng Jianxiong was a little distracted.
Until the phone that was adjusted to vibration mode came up with a text message, pulling his thoughts back to reality.
He subconsciously looked up and searched in the stands, and his eyes met Snicker who came to watch the game. Snicker nodded to him, making him realize that the text message was sent by his girlfriend.
Let's watch it again after the game, it shouldn't be an important thing. Nicole should have sent a text message just when she saw him being bored and distracted - she is not the kind of person who doesn't know the importance of it.
Because school has not started yet, most of the audiences who are watching are not classmates. The seats in the venue are only available for cameras to sit in. The next round of competition will be much more popular.
On the court, the summary statements of the Fourth Debate of the University of Science and Technology have almost come to an end.
That was an ugly but determined girl.
“… So, as we all know, despite the technological advances over thousands of years, every time it seems that tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of human jobs, will be eliminated.
But at the same time, when the "sheep eaters" eliminated most farmers, it created more industrial workers.
When industrial robots and closed-loop industrial automation systems eliminated most industrial workers, it created more programmers, including plc/mcline production line engineers.
The upcoming artificial intelligence revolution is limited by deep-mind, Monte Carlo tree structures, convolutional neural networks and other architectures, and can only set a single target dimension for machine intelligence as the direction of hard learning and evolution. Therefore, artificial intelligence cannot replace humans. All it eliminates is simple and repetitive mental labor.
For example, the intelligent recognition, input and output system that iFLYTEK is doing may eliminate all typists in the future, all translations, and one day, eliminate the ‘code-writing programmers’, eliminate the ‘rhythm and composer’s rhetoric and arrangement workload’…
However, we still need to provide the most original writers with original ideas, even if they no longer need to type with their own hands or make sentences with their own brains. They only need to conceive original ideas.
We still need composers who provide a tone of thought and emotion, even if they finally express this emotion with music, most of the work is done by machines.
We still need programmers who define target tasks - perhaps by then, they should have been completely in this position by product managers, and there are no full-time programmers - to be eliminated, just remembering computer programming language statements and grammar's 'human-computer language translation', rather than providers of program ideas.
To sum up, the development of artificial intelligence will only cause a major reshuffle to human work, eliminate countless old jobs and create more sexual work. But it is absolutely impossible to threaten the overall work opportunities of human beings as alarmist as the opponent's debaters exclaimed!”
After the final summary of the debate at the Fourth National University of Science and Technology, he bowed to the guests and the audience, looking quite confident.
It seems that I truly believe that by relying on this kind of high-level slogan and the creed of "emphasizing the general trend of history a thousand times, it will become an eternal and effective truth", we can win back the game.
"Sister Meiqin, it's up to you." Feng Jianxiong murmured in his heart, very confident in Yu Meiqin's strength.
The tactics of the game have been adjusted to the point where they are so proficient before the game. Although this kind of debate is not good for the opposition in terms of logic, as long as you grasp a few points, you can still find a breakthrough.
With the expectations of his teammates, Yu Meiqin stood up dignifiedly, with a soft and cool tone.
"The opponent's debaters have repeatedly emphasized today that 'While artificial intelligence has eliminated a large number of old jobs, it has also created countless new jobs'. So much so that in my opinion, they seem to have directly equated this confrontation point with today's debate topic.
This also gave them an illusion: it seems that proving their correctness at this point is directly equivalent to winning the game. Therefore, we can see that the four debaters on the other side can cross-debate and the situation has deteriorated to that level during the free debate, and the final summary statement is still so optimistic.
So much so that I couldn't bear to say the following passage to expose their dreams - but this is a game, although it's cruel, I have to say it.
Our debate topic today is ‘Will the development of artificial intelligence threaten human employment opportunities’, rather than ‘Will the development of artificial intelligence lead to an increase or decrease in the overall number of employment opportunities’. Therefore, we should not only discuss the increase or decrease in the number of jobs in theory, but also discuss the changes in the quality of employment and the changes in the skill requirements of practitioners.
As long as one aspect is not conducive to the development of mankind and even causes a considerable number of mankind to face the precarious dilemma of employment, it is considered to be a "threatening human employment opportunities". After all, "human beings" are not just represented by the elites among mankind.
The opponent's debater believes that because the First Industrial Revolution eliminated peasants, the Second Industrial Revolution eliminated non-standard craftsmen, and the Third Industrial Revolution eliminated simple and repetitive mental workers, and every time these eliminated people seem to be squeezed out into a new field of work, it can be deduced that the fourth technological revolution represented by artificial intelligence can also be overcome in this way - but it is precisely this analogy that has fatal logical flaws.
The steam engine revolution took 80 years to become popular all over the world, the power revolution took about 50 years, and the computer/information/automation revolution took more than 30 years, but the artificial intelligence revolution may only take 5 years or 10 years - this has been repeatedly proved by our debaters in previous free debates, because the Internet, globalization, and flattening, the rapidity of the fourth technological revolution must be something that was unimaginable in the previous few times.
Therefore, even if the revolution in artificial intelligence has created many new positions, it requires a large number of creative and question-oriented people to engage in it. But can those who have been eliminated adapt to this new demand?
In the agricultural era, a landless farmer can spend 20 years transforming into a worker, and the learning cost they need to be when transforming into a worker is relatively low and the learning difficulty is not high.
In the following two technological revolutions, the pain of this transformation became more and more severe, but overall, human society has survived it - in this process, a large number of laid-off workers with no social competitiveness still emerged, and they could only temporarily deliver express delivery and takeout to join the new economy.
But in the era of the artificial intelligence revolution, when the knowledge and skill structure required for human work age so rapidly, outdated, those banks, mobile companies tellers, service industry clerks, translators, 'code translators' type plc production line engineers, and even the remaining small group of workers...what can they be retrained to do?"
