Humanoid Developer Cheolwoo Lee (7)
After Yoon Kye-sang’s grandfather’s chapter was over, I continued to research in the lab to perfect Ark’s intelligence.
‘Well, how should I make a reward system?’
Ark needs a carrot and a whip.
In other words, a tool that gives happiness and pain.
I still had a lot of ideas on how to give it, but I wasn’t quite sure.
First of all, it is necessary to change the x2xx-limit algorithm to make people feel happiness and pain, so I was in the middle of making that part.
smart-
“Yes. Come in.”
“Hello, Mr. Lee Cheol-woo.”
“hahahaha, Vice President Seo. I saw you the other day, and I’ll see you again.”
“That day… hahahaha, because I was out of my mind.”
A few days ago, President Yoon’s father had passed away, so I saw his face at Sanggat’s house.
“Because it’s not polite to talk about work at a funeral home.”
“That’s right. So what business did you want to meet?”
“The time has come to decide on a site for a new factory in Hyeonseong. I thought I couldn’t put it off any longer.”
“Um… so where was it selected?”
It may take several years just to build the factory. I must have thought that from now on, time shouldn’t be dragged on like this.
“There are several. Korea and Japan and China and Vietnam.”
“Didn’t you say you were excluding China?”
“Yes. I am strongly saying that we should be excluded, but it seems that is not the case again from my superiors.”
“Did Vice President Seo have a superior?”
“hahahahaha, yes. President Hyunseong.”
“ah.”
Actually, this is Vice President Seo Jeong-ho. Why would you be vice president? There will be a boss, and there will be a chairman above that. Of course, I’ve never met him.
“Even though I strongly say no, they still have some trust in China.”
“Um…”
“So, opinions from the top keep coming up about how to go to China at this opportunity.”
Honestly, it’s Hyunseong’s job. It’s not a matter for me to meddle with. After all, isn’t that China?
Starting from the copyright issue, the NF network and artificial intelligence continued to lead to a bad relationship.
And Hyeonseong is also a precious existence to me.
“Um… I’m deeply troubled.”
“What’s your problem?”
“Vice President Seo. Before making the ITE-X engine, you were the head of the laboratory, right? Was it the team leader?”
“Yes. They were called the research team leader and director or something like that. Why is that?”
“Why don’t you try being the president instead of the vice president this time?”
“…?”
My words made the vice president look bewildered.
“Wait a minute. I think Minseok will be needed to decide this matter. I’ll call you for a minute.”
I called Minseok.
-Oh, Cheolwoo. what’s the matter.
“Oh, I have some important things to discuss, but could you come over now?
-uh? Cheolwoo Do you have something important to say? gotta go right now
“You don’t have to come if you’re busy.”
-No, it’s during the LF future strategy meeting, but that’s not important.
“…”
-I’ll be going soon.
LF future strategy meeting? Do you think something is important?
“Minseok is coming. It will take about an hour. Is that time okay?”
“Yes. Enough.”
“So what do I mean?”
“What do you mean? Be the boss?”
“Well, it might be impossible to become the president. Vice President Seo is now in charge of technology development, right? In other words, the position of CTO.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“However, those at the top don’t trust Vice President and are talking about going into China or something.”
“…. I haven’t been able to hold the position of vice president for a while, and my abilities have been recognized, but it’s not my job, but I’m doing it with the help of Mr. Cheol-woo.”
Under various circumstances, it seemed that Vice President Seo had not yet established himself properly.
It is said that it has the right to decide on the construction of the factory site, but it was an issue that could be swayed by its superiors at any time.
While we were talking about this and that, Minseok arrived.
“Uh, Cheolwoo! You called and came running. Uh, Vice President Seo was also there. Hello.”
“hello.”
After Vice President Seo and Minseok greeted each other, I opened my mouth.
“No, LF future strategy meeting? Isn’t that important? Can you quit it midway through?”
“I’m the representative, so what’s wrong? And I wanted to show condescension that you’re more important than that.”
“Ugh.”
“So what’s your business? Considering that Vice President Seo is there, it must be something related to Hyeonseong.”
“That’s right. Hyeonseong said he might build a factory in China.”
“No, why the hell? To China?”
Minseok looked at Vice President Seo and talked.
“I guess the upper line is the problem.”
“Chairman and representative?”
“I guess so.”
“Um…”
Min-seok also had a bad view of China, and when Hyun-seong said that he could build a factory in China, he seemed very uncomfortable.
“So what I thought was, is there any way to put Vice President Seo in the position of representative of Hyeonseong? I really want to give him practical power.”
“…?”
Minseok was deeply troubled, and Vice President Seo had a puzzled expression once more.
“It’s definitely not bad. If Vice President Seo becomes Hyunsung’s representative, things will be easier.”
“yes?”
“That’s right. Oh Sung Electronics has been arguing lately…”
“What’s wrong with Ohseong?”
“They say they have to pay to put NF Network on their Space Smartphones.”
“What nonsense.”
“Well, there are a lot of things going on. Nave and Cocoa, including Oh Seong, are getting angry right now and are trying to keep us in check.”
“Nav and Cocoa too?”
Ohsung Electronics, Nave, and Cocoa. It is a large company in Korea.
Ohsung Electronics makes semiconductors, and Cocoa and Nave are IT companies. If those companies are in check at the same time, it will probably be a lot of nerves.
“Yeah, since we’re sticking with Google, I guess he’s offended. Why are you leaving us alone with Google?”
“ha ha ha…….”
I also thought it could be anything.
Various artificial intelligence, such as interpretation and translation artificial intelligence and advertisement matching artificial intelligence, which are now made of weak artificial intelligence, were being developed at Google, and Naver and Cocoa must have barely caught up with Google.
But when you go one step farther away… … .
“Well, anyway, in the meantime, if Hyunseong is on our side properly, there’s nothing better.”
“So, is there a way?”
“How? There is one. The arc I’m making now. How do you think it will turn out?”
“After all, the key is the arc?”
“That’s right. If it’s going to work properly, our LF will make a large-scale investment in Hyeonseong.”
“We are already talking about investing in ITE-X.”
“Yes. I know. Are you planning to build a factory with the investment you received?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
“That investment will be paid by our LF.”
“Um… I hate to say this, but people who say they’re investing are lining up.”
Certainly, from my point of view, ITE-X is a great technology. There will be many people who want to see that technology and invest.
Maybe Hyeon-seong can screen out investors.
“hahahaha, I know that too. Of course, there must be a line of people who see the potential of the ITE-X engine and want to invest in it. But who owns the 5-stroke patent for the ITE-X engine? If we say we invest, everyone will roll their tails and run away If they don’t run away, I’ll have to make them.”
“ah…….”
“However, we have no reason to invest in the first place. Because we have the patent for the ITE-X engine. But if we build a factory and think that an arc will be created… there is plenty of reason to invest.”
Um, so is that what Minseok said?
Hyunseong said that the investment he’s receiving now is for ITE-X, so our LF doesn’t need to do it. Assuming the arc is made, is it an investment for humanoids, not ITE-X?
I want to make sure I understand correctly.
After all, economics and management are difficult.
“Ah… that means you’re investing in Ark?”
“Yes. That’s right. The factory created by the arc is extremely efficient, so it will be easy to recover the investment.”
I guess my understanding is correct.
“So Cheolwoo. How’s Ark going? Do you think you can run Hyunseong’s factory with Acro?”
“It just takes time. It sure works.”
said with certainty
What I couldn’t do was create a strong AI. However, once that part was resolved, there was nothing particularly difficult.
It just took time, but I was able to make it for sure.
“I say so. Vice President Seo. Shall we proceed?”
“…”
“Is there anything to worry about?”
From noble mtl dot com
“No…… no. Thank you. Please proceed in that way.”
“Yes. Then, Hyeon-seong’s factory will go to Korea. I will meet the president of Hyeon-seong soon.”
“all right.”
“Cheolwoo. Now that we’ve decided where to build the factory, it will take quite a while to select a suitable site for our country and complete the construction. Will it be possible then?”
“How many years will that take?”
“I guess so.”
“I can make it in a year. I have to participate in the China Expo in the first half of next year.”
“hahahahaha, yes. So decide!”
* * *
After creating a new Ark’s intelligence again, I visited Dr. Nam’s lab.
I couldn’t see where Researcher Song had gone, only Dr. Nam.
“Hello, Mr. Lee Cheol-woo.”
“Hello. I came here with an update to some extent. How did the Ark test go?”
“Certainly, Ark seemed to be able to think. However, as before, it seemed that he was unable to think about flexibility and efficiency.”
“Is that so.”
“If you mean that it has been updated to some extent, do you mean that it has been completed?”
“Yes. Ark can feel pain and happiness.”
“Um… how can you feel it?”
“Would you like to see it for yourself?”
“yes.”
We moved to the lab where the arc is.
“Can I proceed with the update right away?”
“Then, what will happen to what has been learned so far? Will it be erased?”
“No. It’s just that the thought circuit inside is slightly changed, so the learning materials remain the same.”
“okay.”
“Then I’ll update right away.”
Through the Arc-specific computer next to it, Ark was injected with new intelligence. It didn’t take long.
“It’s done.”
“It’s fast. I can’t wait to see how it has changed.”
“First, I’ll turn the power on.”
“yes.”
When I turned on the power, the arc initialized after a while and opened my mouth.
-Give me an order.
“Which command would be good?”
“Well, you still have that box over there? Why don’t you ask them to listen to that? We haven’t taught them yet.”
“Yes. Ark, could you lift the box over there?”
-yes. All right.
A minute later, Ark spoke, and Ark walked with a normal gait to the box behind him.
Then, I struggled a lot by myself trying to lift the box.
“As expected, it takes a little time to learn it yourself.”
It could take hours, like learning to walk before.
“I’ll try it now. Stimulus made by me.”
Then he took the remote control out of his pocket and listened.
“What is this? There are three buttons.”
“One is the happiness button, one is the pain button, and the last button is the emergency stop device.”
I pressed a button that gave Ark pain in the sense of lifting things quickly.
How will Ark react?
