There's a black hole inside me

In fact, corresponding to the unemployment wave, there is a wave of layoffs in countless companies.

Take the IT industry as an example. There are no fewer than ten smart programming tools on the market. Programmers do not need to type out lines of code. They only need to draw a flow chart, design a web interface, design a database in tabular form, and then click one button. generate.

A website or APP can do this.

Except for a small number of top programmers, millions of middle and low-level programmers had their workload reduced by 90% and were immediately laid off by 90%.

Even the new generation of programmers can do without programming ability, but they value their design ability more.

Simple manual labor.

Elementary mental work.

They are all being eliminated like extinction.

Not to mention that ordinary companies are laying off employees in large numbers.

Among China's private technology companies, strategic alliances that account for more than 50% of profits have also seen some changes.

For example, Longyao Company has optimized and eliminated about 15% of its employees.

Bioti, which employs nearly one million people, has optimized 30% of its assembly line workers and announced that it will not hire any workers for the next three years.

Blu-ray Company has not laid off any employees, but it will not recruit people in the next five years; Modu Microelectronics has also slowed down the pace of personnel expansion.

What attracts the most attention is whether Black Hole Group, which has nearly 80,000 employees, will also use the machete of layoffs to cut off a large number of jobs at once.

To be honest, this issue is not only paying attention to the entire technology circle, but the employees of Black Hole Group are even more nervous and anxious, fearing that they will be replaced by intelligent robots or artificial intelligence.

"In the future, Black Hole Group will not only not lay off employees, but will also recruit more than 1 million outstanding talents. We do not exclude advanced intelligent technology, but we still value people with unlimited potential. No one can be replaced by machines, but with the help of better Machines create greater value.”

Wei Ming's words served as the final word.

The military morale within the Black Hole Group suddenly stabilized, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, some people suggested that Wei Ming lay off employees. For example, Yu Dazui of Longyao Company and Mr. Sun of Bioti all believed that Black Hole Group was a bit bloated and had high maintenance costs. We could also learn from them and optimize it a little.

But Wei Ming had his own considerations.

It’s not like he hasn’t seen the advantages of intelligent robots and AI. It’s no problem to replace 70% of employees.

but……

Which is more important, people or money?

This question is a bit silly. I believe most people will think the latter is important. After all, it is impossible to do it without money.

Wei Ming feels that when money is enough, people are more important.

It’s a very simple truth. This world can be done without robots, but can it be done without humans?

From a human perspective, you should not lay off a large number of human employees for the pure pursuit of profits, reduce their quality of life, and fall into an environment of long-term unemployment + low income. It will always be difficult to get out of the quagmire at the bottom.

Or indulge in the world of virtual online games and make money from games as their main occupation... After virtual online games became popular in 2025, the number of professional players who make a living from gold in virtual games currently exceeds tens of millions.

Wei Ming also played a virtual game called "Holy Continent" for a while, pretending to be awesome and getting slapped in the face all the way. It was really interesting. He transformed into a rich man and spent tens of billions in it, but for some reason afterwards, he felt that it was nothing. Meaning, I quit and stopped playing.

After all, as long as you spend money, you can get everything, just like turning on the invincible game. After a long time, it will be boring and there will be no sense of accomplishment.

Killing monsters for a day in the game will give you a certain amount of experience, as well as a gold income equivalent to about 15 yuan. The longer you play, the more other players there will be, and the gold income will decrease. Investment and return are inversely proportional.

But in reality, Wei Ming can earn hundreds of billions from processing materials for one day.

The value of water drop crystals synthesized in one day can reach 500 billion.

As long as he doesn't agree, the price will never fall.

Two things are before you. Should you choose to farm monsters in the game or farm materials in reality?

Too far away...

All in all, Wei Ming believes that population is very important, and he does not agree with the cruel statement that "those with jobs are the elite population, and those without jobs are the garbage population." No one wants to be garbage. As human beings who create artificial intelligence, they should stay away from On top of it, instead of being replaced and eliminated by what you create.

"The future should be an era where everyone is like a dragon. The per capita income is at least a hundred times that of today. Everyone can afford to live in a villa and have a large enough land. There are various service robots at home and a large number of people at work. When using robots, you don’t need to do hands-on work. You only need to be responsible for designing blueprints, making plans, and on-site command. The work process is a bit like playing a real-time strategy game, which tests the overall planning ability.”

"Robots are just tools, and humans are the eternal masters. If we want to maximize the role of robots, we must rely on humans."

Considering that there will be large-scale immigration to aliens in the future, the expansion of the universe, and the era of interstellar navigation, the number of only 80,000 employees or one million employees is far from enough, and even more will need to be recruited in the future.

Therefore, it is impossible for his Black Hole Group to lay off employees.

…

March.

The boring life continues like an assembly line.

If there was any uproar, it was that Xu Chuxia had recently given birth to her third child. Wei Ming scanned the DNA and found that the child was finally a daughter. He was happy for many days.

But if I want to hold my daughter again, I have to wait until December at the end of the year.

So I looked at the starry sky above my head.

Wei Ming, who suddenly wanted to go out to relieve his boredom, formulated a "Solar System Odyssey Plan".

He plans to take about two months to take a good tour of the solar system.

Wander around in a circle from near to far.

Get close to places like the Sun, Mercury, Venus, the asteroid belt, Jupiter and its surrounding satellites, Saturn, Uranus, etc., and don’t rule out stopping on the surface to collect some soil samples.

Take some photos, leave a picture, check in, etc.

Does this have any specific meaning?

Wei Ming is not a scientist, but he knows after popular science that from the perspective of resources, no planet can be evaluated as "worthless".

Whether it is the sun, heavy element planets, or gaseous planets, they all have inestimable value.

The light near the sun is strong. If a solar power station is built near the sun, it is equivalent to treating the sun as a "nuclear fusion power station" and can obtain endless energy.

For example, on some planets, the main component of the atmosphere is actually methane.

In the upper atmosphere of Jupiter, hydrogen accounts for 75% of the weight. Wei Ming was imagining at the time: If a tube was connected to the atmosphere of Jupiter, wouldn't there be a continuous supply of hydrogen fuel?

Even if the idea of ​​pipelines is not realistic, space cruise ships can be used to pump out methane or Jupiter's atmosphere one by one. In the future, there will be endless fuel for the gas stoves in people's homes.

"Let's go for a walk, take a good inventory of the solar system's assets, and then make next plans."
