I collect gold fingers in the heavens

Chapter 678
The [AI Painting Assistant Xiaozhi] launched at the product launch conference of [Super Group] has caused such a big response in a certain country, and the response in China is even more exaggerated.

This time, the top ten trending searches on [Weibo] were all covered by [Chaoqun Group].

Those teenage mothers who like to buy charts on [Weibo], who overwhelm celebrities, have long been robbed of experience by [Super Group] for headlines.

Once [Super Group] holds a press conference, they will not buy trending searches during that time.

Because it's useless to buy it.

The huge discussion traffic brought by [Super Group] will suppress the traffic they bought in a very short period of time.

There is no disturbance at all.

And for hot searches that cost millions of dollars, they don't refund them.

Losses of tens of millions will make celebrities feel distressed.

Some celebrities even evade the bills of real estate agency fees, let alone the millions of traffic fees.

Although the real estate agency's commission rate is indeed ridiculously high, this behavior is also too low.

Let’s not talk about the things that are hot on the celebrity buying list.

Let’s talk about the trending search on [Weibo] about [Chaoqun Group]:

【Chaoqun Group Launches New Artificial Intelligence Products】

【AI drawing】

[The first year of AI animation production is coming, what should traditional artists do?]

[Beware of the emergence of finalists]

[Slow down the pace of technology, wait for the people behind you]

[The difference between AI painting and traditional painting]

【Will artificial intelligence produce real intelligence】

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ...

People in China are not only discussing how much change the [AI painting assistant Xiaozhi] of [Super Group] will bring to the film, television, animation and cultural industries, but also discussing the harm that the development of technology will bring to the erosion of jobs.

For example, in the past, thousands of workers were required to produce an animation, which took several years and racked their brains, and cost hundreds of millions of dollars before and after.

But now, with [AI painting assistant Xiaozhi], it may only need a team of about ten people, and the finished product can be produced in a month at the slowest. If it is fast, it may be enough in a week. , just as fast as the production cycle of Eastern Hollywood movies.

For the end consumer, this is of course a good thing.

Because it doesn't take a few years to wait for an anime movie.

The animation industry will usher in explosive development. In a very short period of time, there will be more animation works than the accumulation of decades or hundreds of years.

End consumers will usher in a visual feast.

It is also a good thing for capitalists.

Because of the short investment time, this means that the cost is reduced, and the payback period is also much faster.

But for the practitioners among them, it is not necessarily the case.

Originally, an animation required thousands of employees, but now it can be reduced to a dozen people, and if there are more, it may be twenty or thirty people.

But what about others?
of course.

The [AI Painting Assistant Xiaozhi] launched by [Chaoqun Group] appears to have greatly reduced the number of employees, but it is more likely to expand the entire animation industry and make the cake bigger.

Originally, it might be possible to invest in hundreds of animation movies or cartoons a year, at most a few hundred.

But now, with [AI Painting Assistant Xiaozhi], the number of animation projects started in a year may have to add a few 0!
The job demand brought about by this expansion will not only absorb all the reduced staff of [AI Painting Assistant Xiaozhi], but it may not be enough. More staff need to be recruited, and more new jobs will be brought post.

But insightful people worry about more than that.

The more technology develops, the more frightened they are.

Just as manpower could not compete with steam engines in the past, the human brain is gradually being replaced by [artificial intelligence technology].

In this replacement process, many ordinary people are powerless.

Like the [AI Painting Assistant Xiaozhi] launched by [Chaoqun Group], many artists lost their jobs.

[Super Group] launched [Smart Butler Assistant Xiaolan], and many translators lost their jobs.

As an entrepreneur once said, when the times abandon you, you won’t even say hello.

They have this strong psychological feeling.

It is a sense of uneasiness about the future.

If [Chaoqun Group] or other large companies make a breakthrough in [automated production], [artificial intelligence] + [fully automated production], except for some high-end professional positions, many low-level people may lose job opportunities.

The times have abandoned them, and they will not even say hello to them.

What's even more frightening is that this kind of technology is in the hands of a group, or in the hands of a single person.

Some far-sighted people are also worried, will Wu Siyuan, who has mastered this technology, gradually become a final product?
In fact, there is already a clear trend.

[Chaoqun Group]'s profitability is getting stronger and stronger, and money, or profits, are pouring in like a tide.

When suppressed by a certain country, there are nearly one trillion yuan in profit.

When blocked by a certain country at all costs, at least hundreds of billions of profits can be maintained.

If all the international suppression is lifted, the annual profit of [Chaoqun Group], conservatively estimated, can reach two trillion yuan.

Maybe even more.

A large number of means of production are monopolized by [Superior Group]. Even if [Superior Group] did not intend to do so, these means of production will be passively monopolized by [Superior Group].

As more and more means of production are monopolized, its external suction will become stronger, and it may eventually evolve into a black hole of means of production, sucking in all the means of production in the world.

This is the same reason as the gap between rich and poor is getting bigger and bigger.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Only [-] percent of people control more than [-] percent of the world's wealth.

If [Chaoqun Group] didn't transfer a large amount of profits every year through investment or other means, it would be very obvious to people as "end-producers".

Because it makes so much money!
The word "end-of-life" comes from the novel "Caring for Humanity" by Liu Cixin, a top science fiction writer in China.

In the article, Liu Cixin imagined an alien world called "First Earth":

The divide between rich and poor on this planet has reached dire proportions.

Because technological development has led to another thing, that the possessing classes no longer need the proletarians.

Machines no longer need people to operate them. Efficient robots can do everything, and the proletariat has no chance to sell their labor power.

The emergence of this situation has greatly accelerated the speed at which social wealth is concentrated to a few people.

In the end, one super rich owns everything on the planet, and this person is called the "finalist".

The planet became a world of one rich and billions of poor.

The private property of finalists includes the entire planet with its atmosphere and oceans.

The poor live in fully enclosed houses with a self-sufficient micro-ecological circulation system. They can only breathe the dirty air provided by the family ecological circulation system, drink water that has been filtered through thousands of cycles, and eat excrement as food. Unpalatable food that is regenerated from raw materials.As long as external resources such as water, air and soil are taken without compensation, they will be killed by law enforcement machines.

In the end, the ecological cycle system of the two billion poor families deteriorated and collapsed, and they could not survive. They ran out of their houses desperately, waiting for execution by law enforcement machines.

And in order to protect their own private property, [the end-producers] drove all other poor people out of the first earth.
