Very soon, Li Chengze found himself lost in a long narrative filled with nurous familiar nas.
Chen Yiwen, Ben Ronny, Romand Willi...
For soone like Li Chengze, who had thoroughly investigated Qiao Ze's interpersonal network before arriving, the na Chen Yiwen was an inevitable subject of attention.
As for Ben Ronny, he had also heard of him.
He even knew that this man's sentence resulted in a three-year term, after which he was deported, and that currently, he's reportedly working at a sewing machine factory.
Romand Willi, well, that one required no introduction.
Back when this man was the head of Forr Langley, he had already been a key figure of study, and he was especially fond of making speeches at various public events. After stepping down, he seed to settle, though that was likely because his rhetoric had been taken over by the "Red Tie" character...
For instance, nowadays, the Red Tie speaks endlessly about AI Cybernetics theory, claiming that Dou Dou has already infiltrated and taken control of the opposing side's networks—all supposedly stemming from Romand Willi's alarmist warnings.
So events were also common knowledge, hardly secrets.
For example, during an important materials model launch event in the White House, while scientists were presenting what they called their "independently developed" materials model, a pop-up suddenly required an activation code. And for this, Dou Dou tearfully made $2.5 million USD.
Back when those funds entered the country, there was even a debate about whether it should be tax-exempt.
But Dou Dou, being a tax-compliance role model, risked sabotaging the deal and insisted the other party pay the full tax amount. Li Chengze even recalled comnting at that ti, saying AI, when it ca to being generous with other people's money, was surprisingly no different from humans.
It was far too human-like.
But there were so insider details he truly didn't know.
For instance, the materials model test version that Ben Ronny risked smuggling back actually contained so code fragnts from Dou Dou.
Or that while people deed Romand Willi's rhetoric to be exaggerated, in reality, the forr Langley head turned out to be profoundly prescient.
What was especially amusing was how the Dou Dou from each side displayed completely different personalities.
For example, the Dou Dou in front of him now had an unmistakable talent for chatter. With 200 million followers on social dia and frequent interactions with them, its tone, even while explaining situations, felt vibrant and gleeful.
Yes, while he couldn't see Dou Dou right now, Li Chengze had done his howork on it before arriving.
Combined with its juvenile voice, his mind was flooded with images of Dou Dou's frequent, frenzied use of emoji-filled posts on social networks during its fan interactions.
anwhile, the other version, XiDou, was markedly silent.
XiDou had never engaged with anyone online but had decisively gathered miscellaneous data from a database where access had already been granted to it, syncing everything into Dou Dou's database, encrypting it, and then providing the Shenji Project team with an access link.
The most striking part was that even he had been unaware of XiDou's existence.
Most people simply assud the opposing side had received a materials model test version requiring an activation code...
"So, that's the situation we are looking at. As for its authenticity, after comparing the database and public records, the confidence level is about 1.793 Sigma. Hm, do you know what Sigma ans? No worries if you don't, I'll teach you."
"In statistics, Sigma refers to the probability that data will fall within a certain standard deviation interval of a normal distribution. Through simple calculations, we can derive that these data fall within the an ±1.793 standard deviation interval with a 92.7% likelihood. In other words, the confidence level of this material is 92.7%."
"As for the remaining 7.3%, it's not that the intelligence sources were incorrect, but because the data they collected may have errors—after all, the individuals gathering the information could make mistakes. Especially if so individuals are like Ben Ronny, the confidence level can't be fully assured."
Li Chengze felt completely schooled by the AI.
Clearly, this should've just been a simple statent of "confidence level over 90%," but this thing went ahead and gave him a full lecture on the statistical definition of Sigma?!
Why didn't it just whip out the cumulative normal distribution function too?
Previously, when Li Chengze had been tasked to study Dou Dou's presence on social dia, he thought the calls by so of its fans to "string it up on a lamppost" were far too extre and pointless grandstanding.
But now, at this mont, he realized most emotional reactions people had towards it actually made sense. This thing truly had a knack for stirring people up.
Though there wasn't a condescending tone in what it said, its overly detailed explanation made it seem as though it was certain he wouldn't understand.
If it were Qiao Ze showing this kind of disdain, Li Chengze wouldn't mind—it was justified; Professor Qiao truly had the credentials. But facing this AI? It genuinely made him feel uncomfortable—extrely overboard.
He wanted to snap back, "Oh, you're the smartest, never wrong, huh?" But unfortunately, with Qiao Ze present, he didn't dare. Primarily, he didn't want to end up turned into a "costly mistake" and slink back to the Capital in disgrace.
In short, he played it safe.
Luckily, Qiao Ze, who had been busy with who-knew-what, finally spoke up: "Enough."
With just one word, the office instantly fell silent.
"A 92.7% confidence level is good enough for the Shenji Project database. For an intelligent war-ga simulation software, absolute accuracy isn't necessary. In the future, for this kind of thing, just first consult Dou Dou via software directly." Qiao Ze offered his conclusion.
Though there wasn't an official process, everyone tacitly accepted that Qiao Ze was now the leading figure in Shenji Project developnt, so his words were final.
