Chapter 873: Influence of Open Source

There is no doubt that the open source of the mips architecture has greatly improved Yahoo's reputation and successfully reversed the lifeless corporate image in everyone's impression. Although many investors believe that Yahoo is still facing huge problems, no one can deny that Yahoo is still a great company. Especially with the news that Alibaba is going to go public in the United States, Yahoo's market deserves greater support.

During the Double Eleven event, the news that Alibaba's e-commerce sales reached US$3 billion per day made the market re-recognize Alibaba. Its valuation was also re-evaluated, conservatively estimated that it would not be less than US$100 billion. Yahoo still holds 30% of its shares. Even if tax factors are excluded, the value of this equity is more than US$20 billion. If the value of linkedin is US$10 billion, Yelp's valuation is around US$10 billion, Yahoo big data department, namely Yahoo portal, email, news, flicker picture short video social app, Yahootong, with a global user base of 300 million, will the combined valuation of these companies such as Yahootong, which has a total of US$10 billion. Yahoo's stock price naturally maintains a continuous upward trend.

Among the listed Internet companies, Yahoo ranks behind Google, Amazon, F&F, and is higher than Huaxia Friends, Baidu, and Penguin. For example, Baidu's market value is less than US$30 billion now. Of course, if Alibaba goes public, Yahoo's market value ranking will drop by one. Of course, if it is considered a high-tech company, Yahoo's ranking is still far behind and not among the top ten. Yahoo, which has just completed its transformation, has begun to make its mark, and its investment cooperation negotiations with Amd have been much smoother.

The open source of mips architecture is the biggest thing in the technology field at the end of 2012. Some people say that this will have a serious impact on the existing industry. Yahoo is doing damage, and such open source is difficult to sustain without a guarantee of profit. After all, chip development and software development are different, and require a lot of manpower and material support. However, soon, arm issued a statement to invest US$120 million in sponsoring the mips open source architecture. Other companies such as Google, Microsoft, ibm, Spreadtrum, Qualcomm, and Guokr have sponsored 10 million US dollars in scale. The mips architecture open source organization has independent from Yahoo and established a non-profit company. After all, Yahoo has made a big deal, and someone will always need to supplement it. Moreover, this non-profit company also has profitable projects. Zhou Shi can't understand the specific profit, so it is probably a fee to provide technical support!

"The development of science and technology cannot be separated from the development of the open source industry. Human knowledge and wealth should be used more to promote the progress of human civilization, rather than blindly pursuing economic interests... I think that when a certain level of the company is no longer a private enterprise, but a social enterprise, and should maintain more transparency and assume more social responsibilities." Zhou Shi gave a closing speech at the five-day conference, emphasizing the importance of the open source industry and Yahoo's attention to it, and put forward the concept of transforming large enterprises into social enterprises.

"If we still develop naturally from high-tech with natural monopoly, it is not impossible for companies with a trillion-dollar market value to appear in the future. These large companies will likely use their own advantages to hinder the progress of social civilization. The civilization I am talking about is not only technology but also humanities. Perhaps one day, under the leadership of engineers, artificial intelligence and robots will replace our position in the world, and the existence of human beings may become dispensable. Let non-engineers enter high-tech companies like Google, let perceptual thoughts penetrate rational thoughts, and let private large enterprises become socialized enterprises, and assume more social responsibilities and obligations have become issues that must be considered in our era.

The open source of mips is just the beginning. It will promote the development of technology and impact the existing technology monopoly. The purpose of all this is to give humans more choices and to allow artificial intelligence dedicated chips to develop faster.

There is no doubt that artificial intelligence and robots without restrictions may destroy the entire world, and the destructive power of scientists and engineers cannot be underestimated at any time. Therefore, in the development of Yahoo's artificial intelligence, a moral review committee composed of experts in the humanities fields such as literature, philosophy, art, history, education, and basic disciplines such as physics and chemistry will be established to review and limit Yahoo's development in the field of artificial intelligence..." Zhou Shi continued to show off and use Taoist ideas to explain that technology and humanities are indispensable, just like the Yin and Yang of a universe, they cannot be neglected.

Every great entrepreneur has his own ideas, and Zhou Shi is forming his own ideological system with Taoist thought as the core! Then his seemingly reasonable nonsense quickly made headlines in financial news all over the world, causing heated discussions.

“Is artificial intelligence really coming?”

"Robots dominate the world! This may be a threat that is not far away."

"The fantasy of Chinese genius!"

“The challenge brought by mips architecture!”

"The United States is so lively. Are the remarks you made all your true thoughts?" Liu Chuanzhi finally got idle and chatted with Zhou Shi.

"Which aspect you said?" Zhou Shi said a lot, of course it was impossible that they were all true.

"Artificial intelligence, will the development of artificial intelligence really be so fast? It poses a threat to humans!" Liu Chuanzhi

"Who knows this? But there is always no harm in preventing in advance!" Zhou Shi said honestly, this is just a hype concept, increasing Yahoo's valuation and making it more convenient for him. Of course, there must be some idea of ​​preventing Yu Weiran. He has no good impression of companies controlled by engineers. The most typical example is Baidu, which has technology but no morality. It is not that it is not a company controlled by engineers. Lenovo's Yang Yuanqing said that companies must have social responsibilities, but the most important thing is to maximize benefits. Well, isn't the awareness of this sentence that making money is more important than morality? Yang Yuanqing's ideological level and pattern are more than one level worse than Jack Ma. Lian Want to have a future under his leadership, that is the biggest joke.

"There are so quarrels about your words outside, but you are fine, it's not true." Liu Chuanzhi

"This is a misunderstanding. I didn't say a lie. This is because the impact brought by mips is large enough, so there are many people paying attention. Some people want to divert their attention through this method. I still have interests in companies such as arm, and I don't want to kill them all at once." Zhou Shi, mips architecture, as a classic design, appears in the teaching of semiconductor chip design textbooks in most universities, and the reserve force is not ordinary. It can be foreseen that a large number of mips architecture chip design startups will appear in the future, and it will not hit the current Intel, Amd and Arm, but the future them.
