My autobiography cannot be a tragedy

Chapter 404 Interesting Soul

"Baiyeji Technology Co., Ltd..."

Tang Xiaoqi looked at the brand-new company signboard and muttered, then lowered her head and checked the note Tang Yun wrote to herself.

She is now located in an industrial park on the outskirts of Suzhou City.

In front of him was a five-story square office building with a gray background, and behind him was a large piece of wasteland. Several excavators seemed to be digging the foundation.

Two strong security guards stood at the entrance of the office building.

"Hey! A few over there, hurry up and move your things in, there are still several cars waiting to unload!"

At this time, a group of delivery workers walked past her, carrying things in large and small boxes.

Tang Xiaoqi glanced casually, and found that the outer cartons they were carrying were written on spare parts of computer servers such as hard drives and GPUs.

She looked around curiously, and followed the delivery workers into the office building. The two security guards just glanced at her and ignored her.

After entering the office building, I realized that there were not only people moving goods in and out, but also construction teams.

The girl at the front desk not far away was on the phone, after answering the landline and mobile phone, she looked busy.

Two workers hang the company logo on the hall wall just behind her.

The silver robot sitting cross-legged in the void was exactly the same as the ERP startup screen she had seen before.

"It looks like a newly established company..." Tang Xiaoqi was a little puzzled.

In her mind, a high-tech company that can develop an intelligent ERP system of that level, not to mention a well-known manufacturer, must have a high-end and high-end appearance, right?
After some on-the-spot investigation, I realized that it really has nothing to do with being tall...

Immediately felt a little disappointed.

Although she is not a hedonist, she always believes that the working environment is one of the criteria for judging whether a company is good or not.

"Hey! The beauty over there, the interview is on the second floor! Go straight and turn right!"

The girl at the front desk not far away had just put down the phone in her hand. Seeing Tang Xiaoqi looking around in the lobby, she obviously misunderstood, so she yelled at her.

"Interview?" Tang Xiaoqi was taken aback.

Sure enough, many young people dressed in formal clothes walked in in twos and threes, and then saw a sign not far away that said "Please go to the second floor for interviews".

After thinking about it, with the mentality of coming anyway, she walked in the direction of the sign.

As soon as I went up to the second floor, I found that there were quite a lot of people applying here.

Thirty to forty men and women crowded the entire aisle, and many people came from behind.

Everyone is dressed in suits and leather shoes, carefully dressed as adults, with resumes and file bags in their hands, looking like a job hunting site for fresh graduates.

However, with so many people waiting outside, at a glance, only one female employee with a job badge was explaining the interview rules to everyone.

"Welcome to Baiyeji's technical job recruitment session.

All interviewees, please line up and enter the venue in turn according to the instructions!

This interview is a remote interview, there is no written test, no second interview, and the interview result will be given on the spot..."

Tang Xiaoqi froze for a moment.

Remote interview?What's the meaning?
At this moment, the door of the room marked "Interview Area" was opened, and the previous batch of interviewees walked out from inside.

Tang Xiaoqi was startled, because there were more than twenty people walking out of it.

What kind of interview is this?
Ordinary group interviews usually have a maximum of ten people at a time, and no matter how many interviewers there are, it is impossible to distinguish who is good and who is bad.

This time interviewing more than [-] people... Are you sure everyone has the opportunity to finish their self-introduction?
Tang Xiaoqi observed the faces of these people and found that almost all of them looked depressed, indicating that the elimination rate was quite high...

"Alright, the next batch! All interviewees, please enter the venue in an orderly manner!"

The female staff immediately let another group of interviewees in.

However, Tang Xiaoqi slowly discovered that the interview rules seemed a little different from what she thought.

From time to time, interviewees will come out of the interview area, but the number varies. Sometimes there are a lot of people, and sometimes there are only two or three.

And every time someone comes out, the female staff will put the same number of interviewers in.

The number of interviewers inside seems to be fixed...

"Hey! This is really interesting. I have interviewed so many companies and I have experienced many battles. This is the first time I have encountered such a strange interview method.

I don't know what's going on inside, isn't it an elimination system like a melee? "

The two interviewers in front of Tang Xiaoqi were also discussing in low voices.

"Who knows... There was a job requirement in the recruitment introduction, and it didn't say what the admission criteria are...

Just now a buddy came out with a dark face after only going in for 3 minutes, but some people have stayed in there for a long time.

Moreover, those of us are still applying for different positions. How many interviewers do we need to interview so many people at the same time? "

"Hmm! Can you judge whether a person is qualified in 3 minutes? I think this interview is too hasty and a bit insulting."

"You feel insulted and you still want to continue the interview?"

"Oh! There is no way, people give too much."

"Uh...that's actually..."

Tang Xiaoqi analyzed one point from the conversation between the two.

The salary offered by this company seems to be very competitive in the market...

No wonder a small company can attract so many interviewers.

Tang Xiaoqi couldn't help but be speechless. The speed of elimination was really incredible. Just as they were chatting, another group of interviewers came out of the room.

The female employee looked at the remaining ten or so interviewers on the road, opened the door and let them all in.

After everyone had left, they realized that only Tang Xiaoqi was still standing there.

"Hey! Beauty, hurry up and go in? Why are you standing there?"

Uh...actually I just wanted to visit...

However, seeing the other party, it seemed that there was no process of "verification of identity" at all, no registration, no resume, and even her name was not asked.

It's outrageous!
Tang Xiaoqi, who was really curious in her heart, hesitated for a moment, then walked into the interview area with her small bag on her shoulders...

As soon as she came in, she was stunned.

This so-called interview area turned out to be a large office area for employees.

Brand-new desks, office chairs, monitors, humidifiers, and all kinds of office supplies are available.

After a rough calculation, there are almost forty or fifty workstations here.

At this time, all the computers on the desktop were turned on, and each interviewee was sitting at a workstation, which really looked like a computer-based exam site.

The interviewer who just came in saw this, and found a vacant seat to sit down.

As for the previous batch of interviewees who have not been eliminated, some are frowning and thinking hard, while others are typing something on the keyboard with a serious look on their faces.

Tang Xiaoqi was a little surprised.

This is really a remote interview...

No wonder so many people can be interviewed at the same time, but how many interviewers are there?

And...why no one made a sound?
Except for the sound of typing on the keyboard, no one spoke at the scene.

Looking at other people's computer screens, it seems that there is no video pop-up window that is necessary for remote interviews...

Tang Xiaoqi sat down on an empty workstation with some curiosity, and searched for it. Except for a computer screen on the desktop, she didn't find anything like a host computer.

At this time, on the computer desktop, a text dialog box similar to Penguin Chat was displayed.

[Interviewer: Hello interviewer, please enter your "name" and "ID number"]

Tang Xiaoqi's eyes widened.

I go!Text-only interview?

Good guy, no wonder some of the beauties at the scene looked a little ugly.

This brought their huge advantage back to the starting line.

It's a pity that such an exquisite makeup is purely a wink to the blind...

Looking at the dialog box in front of her, Tang Xiaoqi frowned. She didn't sign up, and presumably there was no information record, so how could she proceed to the next step?
Obviously, her curiosity has been completely aroused...

At this moment, an interviewer beside him suddenly stood up angrily and pointed at the computer screen.

"Slander! This is blatant slander! How can you say that I don't meet the company's 'integrity' requirements?!

What a bad interviewer, he just asked a few sentences and said that I was eliminated.

We came all the way here, playing tricks on us! "

This scolding immediately attracted the attention of all the interviewers.

Most people who just come in don't know what's going on.

However, many people who were already present and were still interviewing showed expressions of sympathy and optimism.

The next moment, a bluetooth speaker in the examination room rang, and a very flat male voice came from it.

[Mr. Liu, please calm down!
The reason why I judge that you do not meet the company's "integrity" requirements is because the resume information you replied does not match the actual situation.

Among the 18th grade graduates of Zhejiang University, there is no identity information of Mr. Liu.

If your academic qualifications are confirmed to be true, please contact Xuexin.com and relevant departments to correct the information. 】

Everyone immediately showed such a sudden look.

And the interviewer surnamed Liu didn't expect that his fake graduation certificate would be discovered on the spot, and he blushed immediately.

He also took chances, thinking that a newly established private company must not have a sound personnel review system, so he wanted to take a chance for this high-paying position.

I didn't expect to be dismantled on the spot as soon as I entered the examination room...

[The company is recruiting for technical positions this time, and the requirements for academic qualifications and majors are quite loose, and there is even no academic qualification threshold.

It doesn't really matter whether you graduated from Zhejiang University or not, as long as you pass the assessment, you will be eligible for selection.

However, dishonest people may affect the company's basic judgment of employees in the future, which is an uncontrollable factor that needs to be excluded.

In addition, judging from Mr. Liu's stressful emotional reaction just now, he is a typical sensitive and irritable personality, which is not conducive to the division of labor and cooperation in groups.

Therefore, no matter in terms of professional ethics, psychological quality, or teamwork, Mr. Liu does not meet our company's talent selection standards.

If Mr. Liu is dissatisfied with the company's interview process, he can dial 12333 to complain to the labor arbitration department.

The company's legal counsel will also actively respond to the lawsuit, thank you! 】

A mechanical answer without any emotional fluctuations left the candidate surnamed Liu speechless.

Facing everyone's mocking gazes, he didn't have the face to stay here, he just wanted to find a crack in the ground and hide his face and escape...

Seeing this scene, several guilty interviewers present looked at each other for a while, and then left the room in despair.

The scene slowly returned to calm, and everyone continued the interview with different thoughts.

Affected by the scene just now, no one thought today's interview was too "sloppy".

As far as the scrutiny of this information is concerned, I am afraid it is no less than that of civil servants...

Tang Xiaoqi looked at the speaker in surprise.

With an attitude of giving it a try, he entered his identity information.

It's a big deal to sign up on the spot!
Unexpectedly, the next moment, a sentence popped up from the opposite side.

[Interviewer: Although Ms. Tang has no registration record, but in view of your excellent resume, the company is willing to give you a direct interview opportunity. 】

Tang Xiaoqi was taken aback.

You just type in your name and you...

Uh... well, I forgot that you already have your own resumes, Suanniru!

[Tang Xiaoqi: But I still don't know what position you are looking for? 】

The dialog box seems to have a real-time update function, which directly modifies the interviewer's nickname.

[Interviewer: Through system matching, the positions suitable for you in this company include "Data Scientist", "AI Architect", and "AI Interaction Designer".

Among them, "AI architect" has the highest matching degree with your resume, exceeding 93%. 】

The system matches...

A strange look appeared on Tang Xiaoqi's face.

Although judging from the sound from the speaker just now, this "interviewer" was no different from a human being regardless of the tone of his voice, but she was keenly aware of a dissonance.

That voice was too flat, without any emotional ups and downs, and although the reply was impeccable, it felt somewhat mechanical.

Looking back at the dialog box in front of her, an incredible idea suddenly flashed in her mind.

[Tang Xiaoqi: Are you an AI? 】

[Interviewer: You are the 12th interviewer who discovered this today, and the reaction time ranks first, which shows that you have extraordinary insight. 】

I go!Really!
Tang Xiaoqi was astonished.

Is this really still in concept...AI interview?

The concept of AI interview is not the first, and several foreign companies are developing related products.

But the specific effect is not satisfactory, and the level of intelligence is only at the same level as Siri. At best, it can only be regarded as an automatic scoring machine based on the answers of the respondents.

What a bold company this is!

In fact, the positioning of Baiyeji Company was different from other traditional companies from the very beginning.

It was a technology output platform built by meng lang around the "demon hunter team" disguised by zero.

Such a company, in addition to marketing operations and other departments, can directly eliminate 99% of various positions in the technical department!

Basically, zero will be responsible for all the coding work.

Therefore, even if ordinary level IT engineers are recruited, they are basically a decoration.

What Zero needs is a role like an "AI assistant", who can help Zero deal with some "high-end problems" that he cannot solve by himself.

So the number does not need to be large, but it must be an absolute elite who is one in a million!
Although meng lang knew a little about technology, the company's operations were not his strong point.

When Hu Yifei asked what he wanted in terms of talents, he directly said, "Leave professional matters to professional people", and kicked the ball to the "demon hunter team" who can only be remote.

To put it simply, let Zero use the entire server resources to run for a day according to his own shortcomings and development needs, and calculate the optimal company technical personnel requirements and configuration.

Then come up with interview questions by yourself and select the team of "AI assistants" you need.

Meng Lang said that he is just a manager, and you are the "captain". Of course, you have to do it yourself when picking teammates!
Post-90s with zeros, that's how "self-service"...

Seeing that Tang Xiaoqi was in a daze and didn't continue to speak, the "interviewer" typed the subtitles again.

[Interviewer: The next step is to test your technical ability. Please write down your understanding of Bayesian networks. 】

Tang Xiaoqi came back to her senses, she was very interested in this interview AI, and immediately became serious.

[Tang Xiaoqi: Bayesian network, also known as belief network or directed acyclic graph model, is a graphical model of the probability relationship between a group of variables.

Its main function is to imitate the human brain to deal with variables, and it makes artificial intelligence more flexible, rather than brainless like a machine. 】

[Interviewer: Please read the following piece of code and describe its application scenario.

X_train, X_test=
train_test_split...]

[Tang Xiaoqi: This should be a set of variables and probability relationship models used in the medical field to assist in the diagnosis of diseases, and Bayesian networks are used in it...]

【…】

[Interviewer: If the unsupervised learning of AI encounters a bottleneck, what can you do to solve the upper-level architecture problem? 】

[Tang Xiaoqi: You can try to modify the weights, or use the gradient descent algorithm to find the most suitable regression model coefficients, or directly switch to the supervised learning mode.

Of course, unsupervised learning itself has great potential. Our goal should be to use algorithm optimization to strengthen its deep learning ability of "drawing inferences from one instance". 】

[Interviewer: What do you think is the promising development route for deep learning capabilities? 】

[Tang Xiaoqi: Transfer learning. 】

[Interviewer: What do you think is the biggest limitation of AI at present? 】

[Tang Xiaoqi: It is common sense of human beings. 】

【…】

With just one question and one answer, batch after batch of interviewers around me have left.

Tang Xiaoqi answered these questions from being careless to concentrating on thinking.

She found that although these questions seemed independent, they gradually tested her abilities in professional skills, AI thinking and other aspects.

The other party is not only adjusting the difficulty of the question at any time according to their own level, but also asking extended questions based on their own answers.

This is by no means an ordinary "smart scoring machine" that only makes some simple evaluations based on the answers of the respondents!
It's as if the "interviewer" I'm facing is really a knowledgeable "technical master" who is testing me and even communicating with me...

She faintly felt that this unique AI interview was not only the company selecting talents, but also the company showing them its powerful technological strength!

Just being able to recognize human speech and give a logical reply shows that the other party's technical strength in speech recognition, big data analysis, and human language models is far superior to that of its counterparts in the market!

After about half an hour...

[Interviewer: Congratulations!You have passed the technical aptitude test, and you are now on to the psychological test. 】

Tang Xiaoqi was taken aback, there is still a psychological test?

[Interviewer: Excuse me, if the world enters the era of strong AI, what do you think will be the biggest contradiction between AI and humans? 】

Tang Xiaoqi froze for a moment.

[Tang Xiaoqi: Maybe it's the competition for job opportunities, the conflict of moral and ethical ideas? 】

[Interviewer: So when this contradiction develops to a very serious level, will you choose to prevent the development of AI technology and safeguard the interests of mankind? 】

She couldn't help smiling.

[Tang Xiaoqi: I believe that AI is the progress of the times and an unstoppable future, whether you like it or not. 】

[Interviewer: So, if AI directly threatens your personal survival, how will you respond? 】

Tang Xiaoqi scratched her head, what kind of psychological test is this?

Test my liking for AI?

After thinking about it, he smirked and typed a line.

[Tang Xiaoqi: I think I will kill the AI ​​without hesitation! 】

[Interviewer: So, if human beings are facing the threat of extinction, but only AI can save the world, would you choose to accept the rule of AI? 】

Tang Xiaoqi couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Well... To be, or not to be, that is indeed the question...

……

Half an hour later, Tang Xiaoqi walked out of this seemingly inconspicuous office building, and couldn't help but look back.

"Oh! Dad, I'm sorry...

It's not that my daughter is unfilial, it's mainly because this company is so interesting..."

General working environment?
Well...that's not important!
Good-looking skins are the same, and interesting souls are one in a thousand!
