Counterattack starts with controlling probability
Chapter 203 Super Algorithm
Since the Tiktalk crisis broke out, Li Hao and his team have been looking for hidden problems within the company.
Through a series of in-depth investigations, they gradually came into contact with some documents left behind by Zhang before his shocking disappearance.
At first, these documents seemed to be just ordinary project records, but as they were interpreted more deeply, a research and development project called "DeepView" came into Li Hao's sight.
"DeepView?" Li Hao stared at the file title on the screen, frowned, and turned to look at Xu Lei. "What is this project? Why have I never heard of it?"
Xu Lei quickly glanced at the contents of the document, his expression slightly changed. "Li, this... seems to be an advanced algorithm system. Its functional description is vague, but one thing is certain - this is a core confidential project within TikTalk."
"Core secret?" Li Hao keenly noticed the unusualness. "Could this be the key to Zhang Jingran's disappearance? Keep investigating and find out what this DeepView is."
After further investigation by the team, they found that DeepView was not an ordinary algorithm project, but a set of super algorithms secretly developed by Tiktalk's former technical team.
This system can accurately predict human psychology and behavior patterns through user behavior data.
More importantly, it not only stays at the prediction level, but can also influence user choices through algorithm optimization.
As Harvey, the technical director, looked through the documents, his expression grew increasingly grim. "My God, this algorithm's capabilities far exceed those of conventional recommendation systems."
“It can predict when users are feeling emotionally unstable and even infer their next decision-making tendencies. This… is almost like controlling humans.”
"Controlling humans?" Liu Xia's tone was filled with shock. "This sounds like science fiction."
Harvey nodded. "It's not just science fiction. The potential of this algorithm is limitless. It can be used in the commercial field, such as targeted advertising recommendations and consumer habit analysis; it can also be used in the political field, such as interfering with public opinion and even influencing elections."
Li Hao said, "This explains a lot of things. Why did Zhang Jingren suddenly disappear? Why is TikTalk being so harshly targeted by American regulators?"
"The existence of DeepView may have aroused the vigilance of certain forces, or even their covetousness."
"You mean, someone wants to gain ownership of this algorithm by controlling Tiktalk?" Chen Kai continued.
"That's right." Li Hao nodded slowly. "DeepView may be one of the most threatening and valuable technological assets in the world today."
"Not only can it generate huge profits, but it can also become a tool of power to some extent. Any capital giant or political force will go crazy for it."
Just as Li Hao and his team were trying to decipher more DeepView-related information, Tiktalk's system was suddenly attacked by large-scale hackers.
This attack precisely targeted the company's internal R&D database and was clearly aimed at DeepView.
"The system is being hacked! The target is DeepView's core files!" Harvey shouted nervously.
"Can you stop it?" Li Hao asked, with a hint of urgency in his tone.
"I'll try my best, but the other party's technology is very advanced. Our firewall may not be able to hold up in the short term." Harvey's fingers moved quickly on the keyboard, and he mobilized several technicians to deal with it together.
At this moment, Xu Lei suddenly looked up and said, "Li Hao, I think this might not just be a simple hacker attack."
"Our recent actions may have been noticed by someone, and they are now forcing us to expose DeepView."
Li Hao calmed down a bit and said, "Don't panic. All core files must be immediately transferred to an offline storage device and completely disconnected from the external network."
"Also, I need a list of all DeepView-related personnel, including everyone involved in its development. We must determine whether there are any potential traitors within this project."
After an urgent internal investigation, Li Hao discovered that one of the main persons in charge of the DeepView project was the technical expert Zhang Jingren trusted most before his disappearance.
However, this expert also disappeared after Zhang Jingren disappeared.
Even more disturbing is that there are signs that the expert may have already reached a secret agreement with certain external forces.
"So, this project had hidden dangers from the very beginning," Chen Kai said. "Zhang Jingren may have realized that DeepView would become a problem, but why didn't he take action in advance?"
"He may have tried but failed," Li Hao muttered, then turned to Liu Xia, "Any new developments in the media?"
Liu Xia shook her head. "The outside world is currently focused on Zhang Jingchen's disappearance, but I believe that if DeepView's existence were to be leaked, TikTalk would face an even greater crisis."
"The media will hype it up as 'evil technology for manipulating human behavior,' and that will be fatal for us."
In just a few days, Li Hao's team successfully blocked several hacking attacks against DeepView, but they knew that this was only temporary.
They now face a difficult decision:
It proactively disclosed the existence of DeepView to the public and attempted to quell external doubts with a "transparent and compliant" attitude;
Or hide it completely and risk infiltration by more powerful forces?
"We don't have many choices." Li Hao stood in the center of the conference room, his eyes sweeping over everyone. "If we disclose DeepView, the outside world will have an unprecedented crisis of trust in us, and it may even trigger a global regulatory storm."
"But if we choose to hide it, we may never be free from the forces that covet it."
Xu Lei nodded. "Whichever path we choose, it's high risk. But I think there might be a glimmer of hope if we proactively disclose the information."
Chen Kai disagrees: "After going public, we may no longer be able to control DeepView's future. It will become everyone's target."
Liu Xia sighed: "This is like a time bomb. No matter how we deal with it, it may cost a huge price."
Li Hao was silent for a moment, then finally made up his mind: "We need a compromise. DeepView cannot be fully disclosed, but we must find a way to convey positive information to the public while ensuring that it does not fall into the hands of those who want to exploit it."
"How to do it specifically?" Chen Kai asked.
"We need to create an illusion—to make DeepView appear to be a far less mature project, while hiding its true capabilities."
"Only in this way can we temporarily stabilize the situation and buy more time to find out the true intentions of the mastermind behind this."
……
As night fell, a small private plane landed silently on a remote runway.
Zhang Jingren was surrounded by a group of security personnel as he walked down the gangway. His hands were tied behind his back, but there was no panic on his face. Instead, he had a complicated sneer on his face.
He was taken to a secret base disguised as an ordinary villa. Every detail here revealed caution and majesty:
Strict surveillance equipment, armed bodyguards, and a group of people waiting for him——
Among these people, some were familiar faces, but more were strangers he had never seen before.
The leading man sat at the end of the conference table. He was about fifty years old, wearing a well-tailored dark suit and had a stern expression.
"Mr. Zhang," he said slowly, his voice low and powerful, "you should understand that your current situation is entirely your own decision."
Zhang Jingren raised his eyebrows, leaned back in his chair, and said calmly:
"I don't think I have much of a choice. You arrested me and brought me here just to get me to hand over the core code of DeepView, right?"
The man didn't deny it and smiled slightly: "Smart. But I would rather you cooperate instead of being so stubborn like before."
"Stubborn?" Zhang Jingren sneered. "DeepView is my hard work. It took me five years to turn it from theory into reality."
"And what you want to do now is turn it into a weapon, a tool to manipulate human society? I won't let that happen."
The man was not angered by his attitude. Instead, he said with interest, "Do you think you still have a choice? Mr. Zhang, the reality is that if you don't cooperate, TikTalk will completely collapse."
“Your employees, your shareholders, and even the user data you once worked so hard to protect will become our pawns. And you…will only become a footnote in history.”
Zhang Jingren stared into the other person's eyes and said calmly, "If you really have the ability to do this, why would you resort to this method against me? Why not just take the code directly?"
A cold light flashed in the man's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Mr. Zhang, we can certainly do it ourselves, but that would be too time-consuming and would attract unnecessary attention."
"As you know, global regulators are now watching TikTalk, and we don't want to get into trouble at this critical juncture."
Zhang Jingren's heart was slightly shocked.
The other party's words revealed an important message:
These people are not completely invulnerable.
Although they are powerful, they still need to rely on him, or in other words, they are restricted in some aspects.
"It seems that you are not omnipotent." Zhang Jingren said with a hint of sarcasm, "So, I am still useful?"
The man's expression didn't change at all. "Of course you do. But you have to understand that your value isn't limited to yourself. It also depends on your cooperative attitude. Now, tell me, what else can DeepView really do besides predicting human behavior?"
