Chapter 259 Technology VS Metaphysics (Happy New Year to everyone)
Jiangning, Tianba Studio.
Chen Ba, who has always been eclectic, rarely wore formal clothes. Even his messy hair was carefully taken care of at a cost of fifty yuan.
Today is not a festival, nor is it a blind date.
The reason why he had to dress up and even put on a suit and tie was mainly because Chen Ba, as an invited guest, would attend the 7th Artificial Intelligence Summit held in Jiangning.
And, he has a speech!
This kind of top technology summit brings together domestic and foreign reporters, industry leaders, and global practitioners and passers-by. It is normal to make some preparations in advance.
"no……"
Seeing Brother Ba dressed up like a dog, Huang Qing hesitated and said: "Artificial Intelligence Summit?"
"right!"
"invite you?"
"right!"
While Chen Ba was tying his tie, he turned to look at Huang Qing and asked with curiosity on his face: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"Is there something wrong with the organizer? Why is a game producer invited to the Artificial Intelligence Summit?"
Huang Qing didn't say anything, but Xiao Lu on the side spoke it first before he could hold back.
Chen Ba frowned.
"What's wrong with inviting me? Why can't you invite me?"
Being so underestimated by his employees, Chen Ba was very unhappy and defended himself: "Yes, ordinary game producers are really not qualified to participate in this kind of summit, and they have nothing in common with industry leaders, but I can be an ordinary game producer." person?"
joke!
Although not famous, in the artificial intelligence circle, the name of Chen Ba or Tianba Studio is well-known at home and abroad.
In the final analysis, it is still the chain reaction caused by the game "God's Grace Continent".
Although everyone believes that the industry that will be most impacted by the game "God's Grace Continent" should be the traditional animation production industry.
This is indeed the case. Those animation companies are almost being forced into trouble by "God's Grace Continent".
But few people know that the artificial intelligence industry has actually been shocked by the game "God's Grace Continent"!
"Heard something!"
Luo Ji appeared out of nowhere. He nodded and said, "I have a buddy who works in AI. He told me that he has been studying "God's Grace Continent" like crazy for a while."
Mainly because I can’t figure it out!
The AI intelligence of Shen'en Continent is actually not very high. At least many companies can produce this level of AI.
But the problem is...
If these companies want to develop this level of AI intelligent programs, how much energy do they need to invest, and how much resources do they need to allocate?
Why can this level of AI be made into a game by Tianba Studio?
And in this game, the most shocking thing is not how smart the NPCs are, but how such smart NPCs can generate thousands or even tens of thousands of them at a time!
No, it makes us look stupid!
Technology companies with market capitalizations ranging from hundreds of billions to trillions would be very powerful if they developed a similar AI intelligence. But you tell me that an AI like this is only qualified to be an NPC that "sells potions" in "God's Grace Continent"?
Not even able to become the village head of Novice Village?
"Is it so powerful?"
Lao Luo's narration shocked Huang Qing and Xiao Lu. They did not expect that in the eyes of professionals, "God's Grace Continent" released by Tianba Studio would be so powerful.
"That's how awesome it is!"
Chen Ba nodded and said: "Actually, I was invited to the summits in the past two years, but I didn't go because I thought the venue was too far away. This year..."
The organizer of this summit is also interesting. After being rejected many times by Chen Ba on the grounds that it was "too far away and unavailable", this time the summit was simply held in Jiangning.
The most embarrassing thing is that the venue is only 500 meters away from Tianba Studio. You don’t even need to drive, you can just walk there.
You can't refuse this, right?
Facts have proved that the organizer's move really worked. With such a close distance, Chen Ba really had no reason to refuse to attend the summit.
Just go.
The companies present at the summit are all wealthy owners, with market capitalizations starting at hundreds of billions. Anyone who knows a rich man is a good source of connections.
The only difficult thing is that if people want Chen Ba to share technical points, Chen Ba doesn't know how to introduce them to them.
Fortunately, it has been so long since the launch of "God's Grace Continent", and people in the industry have already conducted relatively in-depth research and understanding of this game.
And Chen Ba is not idle either.
Although he has always said that the code written by Tiehanhan System is too advanced and cannot be understood at all, it is not that he has learned nothing at all after so many years.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if we no longer make games, Tianba Studio has closed down and we will no longer be able to survive in the game industry...
With the superficial knowledge he already had, Chen Ba could still thrive by switching to other fields, such as generative AI, etc.
This is also the reason why he has the confidence to give a speech in front of so many technology giants and introduce the AI technology represented by "God's Grace Continent".
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be embarrassed!
If you know a little bit about it, it is code created by a black technology product like the Tiehanhan system. Even if you only scratch the surface, it is very powerful.
"Good guy!"
After hearing Brother Ba's boast, Xiao Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Then our Tianba Studio can also claim the title of a high-tech enterprise? Proclaim to the outside world that we are a technology company?"
"sure."
"We are originally a high-tech enterprise, a high-tech company, but many people are blind and mistakenly think that we are just a game company."
When Chen Ba said this, his expression was quite regretful.
The world has too much prejudice against him and Tianba Studio! I always thought that he could only produce game bugs, and Tianba Studio could only cook shit games.
Absolutely ridiculous!
Not to mention anything else, how many domestic game companies can develop the Tianba engine technology?
With the Tianba engine alone, Tianba Studio is worthy of the name of a high-tech enterprise.
Trivia!
A certain scientific research institution once sent someone to find Chen Ba for the "hyper-realistic physics engine" in the game "Speed".
Not many people knew about this matter. Even inside Tianba Studio, except Dong Ge and Huang Qing, even Xiao Lu didn't know about it.
There is no way. After all, the other party is a research institution with a high level of confidentiality. The things it studies are probably at the level of important weapons of a major country, so it cannot be publicized and must be kept low-key.
"Let's get some patents later! Otherwise, people will always say that our Tianba Studio has no technical strength..."
Huang Qing said speechlessly: "Whether it's a game company or a technology company, we still have to be high-profile when we should be high-profile, and we can't be looked down upon all the time."
"That makes sense!"
Chen Ba nodded.
The most embarrassing thing about Tianba Studio is that its games are very famous, and some of them are even famous all over the world.
but……
As the developer of these games, Tianba Studio's own popularity is still very low, far inferior to that of its friends such as Zhuchang and Mihuyou.
It's so shameless.
To be fair, apart from Penguin Games, a giant that deserves a high look from Tianba Studio, which of the remaining game companies in China can compare with Tianba?
This is also the reason why Chen Ba has often been active in front of major mainstream media in the past year, attending various events large and small, and building a strong sense of presence.
It's not good to be too low-key. The Tianba community has reached tens of millions of active users, so you can imagine how many fans it has.
But with so many fans, Tianba Studio’s official account only has a few hundred thousand fans. Isn’t this embarrassing?
"Okay, I'm leaving first."
Chen Ba waved his hand, indicating that everyone should be busy with their own business. If there is anything else, he should wait until he finishes attending the summit and come back later.
"But……"
Xiao Lu wanted to talk about "Once Upon a Time in a Mountain Village", but Brother Ba walked too fast and was already on the elevator in the blink of an eye.
"What's wrong?"
Huang Qing asked curiously: "If you have anything, you can tell me. You don't have to go to Brother Ba to solve everything."
"You? You can't solve this problem!"
"What you're saying is, I'm the CEO. Is there anything I can't solve that I have to mobilize my boss to solve?"
"Oh well……"
Seeing that Huang Qing insisted on getting to the bottom of it, Xiao Lu reported: "The divination function of "Once Upon a Time in the Village" is very popular. Do you know about this?"
"I know!"
"That's the problem. Because of the fire, all kinds of monsters and monsters have appeared..."
Perhaps because he felt that he couldn't explain clearly, Xiao Lu simply took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened a short video software, and played a video for Huang Qing to watch.
Huang Qing looked at the phone seriously.
On the screen, a young man in fashionable clothes slowly walked towards the "iron mouth straight" fortune teller under the overpass in the distance.
"Family members, I'm going to give you a tough job today! Technology VS metaphysics, let's see whether technology or metaphysics is better!"
What the hell is technology vs metaphysics?
Huang Qing was confused and didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Lu showing him this video.
"Keep reading, you'll know soon!"
Xiao Lu was not in a hurry, he just dragged the progress bar to signal Huang Qing not to worry, the fun is yet to come!
The young man walked up to the master of Xianfeng Daogu and asked with a pretended look of admiration: "Master, I have been in some trouble recently. Can you please help me tell my fortune?"
Snap!
The master did not speak, but lightly tapped the payment code for the Fortune Treasure on his desk with his right index finger.
The young man understood instantly and quickly scanned the QR code to pay 200 yuan.
When he heard the voice "XXX has received 200 yuan", the master calmed down and asked: "What's your surname? What trouble did you encounter?"
"Master, my surname is Wang!"
"The thing is like this..."
Seeing that the master was willing to speak, the young man revealed his troubles.
It turns out that he fell in love with a girl and wanted to pursue her. This girl likes to play with mobile phones, is also a computer genius, and has a very cold personality. She always seems to ignore everyone...
The young man gave an "accurate" description, and then said with a distressed look on his face: "I have spent 648 yuan chasing her, but she still hasn't said a word to me."
"Master, if I continue to spend 648 to pursue her, will she agree to be my girlfriend?"
648?
Why are there parts and components?
The master thinks this number is very strange. How can anyone chase a girl and spend money and still calculate the odd and round numbers? Aren't they usually described in a general way like "hundreds and thousands"?
And this girl is really as good as he described, let alone 648, add a zero, or even add two zeros, it will be a good profit!
Young people are indeed still too young.
These days, the betrothal gifts are so expensive. It is simply wishful thinking for 648 to marry a beautiful woman. Whose girl is so careless that 648 will marry you?
Therefore, the master used his life experience to briefly analyze it for the young people.
Then he pretended to ask the young man's birth date and the girl's name to predict their marriage compatibility.
"Silver Wolf?"
When the master heard this name, he subconsciously became suspicious and said: "No, you are right? Is there a surname like Yin?"
"Oh, she's a foreigner!"
The young man sighed and said: "She is wandering around alone with others and has no home, so I want to give her a home."
Foreigners, that makes sense.
The master calculated for a while, mainly because he was not sure whether foreigners had the custom of giving a betrothal gift, and what the standard of the betrothal gift was.
After about a while, the master said: "Young man, don't be impatient. In my opinion, if you pursue her with all your heart one more time, your marriage will be almost done."
"Really?"
"Master, what do you mean, if I spend another 648 for her, she can be my girlfriend?" The young man was very excited.
"Don't worry, the iron mouth will cut straight through..."
The video is here, even if Huang Qing doesn't play games very much, he can guess that the girl this young man is talking about is probably a game character.
The poor master was manipulated by young people and did not realize the problem at all.
Sure enough, when the master learned that this girl was a game character, his eyes changed when he looked at the young man.
However, the young man did not intend to let him go. Instead, he took out his laptop and asked the master based on the divination in "Once Upon a Time in a Mountain Village", which one of you is right?
200 yuan is not easy to earn!
Even though he knew that this young man was here to cause trouble, the master still had a hard time confronting the divination system.
As expected, the master's metaphysics business is limited to the real world and has not yet developed into the virtual network, so this PK is destined to end in failure.
The young man is content.
The master made two hundred. Although he was slapped in the face by a program, making money is a good thing, so he doesn't feel like a loss.
Netizens had fun watching it, but from another perspective, they verified that the divination system of "Once Upon a Time in the Village" is "true metaphysics".
Didn’t you see that the masters of fortune-telling felt ashamed and silently put away their “iron-mouthed” sign? If you don’t believe it, why don’t you come and battle this divination system?
"so what?"
Huang Qing asked: "This video is very interesting, but what does it have to do with the trouble you are talking about?"
"Of course it has something to do with it. The reason is that this video went viral and people imitated it very quickly!"
Xiao Lu explained: "If someone imitates it, then innocent fortune tellers will suffer. So it is normal for us to be reported for promoting feudal superstition, right?"
"Normal...wait a moment!"
When Huang Qing heard the charge of promoting feudal superstition, he thought it was fine, but then he thought, was this reported by a fortune teller?
no……
It is reasonable for anyone to report it, but why is it only a group of fortune tellers who report it? Don’t you know who is promoting feudal superstition?
