Villain’s Programming - Chapter 271

Episode 271 Apple

After Dojun left, Steve Jobs stared blankly out the window.

‘The person who sent CHAT-GPT must have a purpose?’

Honestly, I thought so too. There was no way I would have just sent such an incredible program away.

‘But I haven’t asked for anything until now… … .’

Jobs opened the email saved in his mailbox.

[Jobs, don’t you want to live forever?]

‘Did you write the purpose of this email?’

Jobs smiled bitterly as he read the email. If the sender’s name had not been SAMSARA, he would have deleted it immediately.

No, he would have been so angry that he might have filed a lawsuit.

Everyone knew that he didn’t have much time left. To talk about ‘eternal life’ to someone like him was nothing short of an insult.

‘But the sender happened to be the same person who sent CHAT-GPT.’

This was the source of ‘CHAT-GPT’ that all Apple researchers were impressed by. All world-renowned AI researchers praised CHAT-GPT as a technology that was several years ahead of its time.

After hearing their story, Jobs had a ‘what if’ thought.

‘Could this be real?’

But Jobs shook his head and put the email in his mailbox.

‘Eternal life? You have to lie to some extent.’

To be honest, I felt uneasy. Do-jun told me never to trust them, that their intentions would never be for my benefit.

‘What do you want from me, who is almost dying? Money? Fame? Skill? No, the opponent already has great skills.’

That wasn’t all. Do-jun said that it was highly likely that Ma Huateng or Zhang Linfeng had sent the email, and that even they were likely someone’s lackeys.

Dojun asked Jobs to let him check the email.

Jobs replied that he would think about it and sent Do-jun away.

“Ha. Who the hell sent this? What do you want from me that you sent me CHAT-GPT?”

Jobs looked at the monitor again, pondering the matter.

[Jobs, don’t you want to live forever?]

“It’s really ridiculous, but… … .”

Jobs carefully clicked on the email. A long text appeared before his eyes. After reading the entire text, Jobs opened his eyes wide.

“You’re uploading my memories to a data center?”

[Jobs, we will convert all your memories, the shape of your brain, and your thought patterns into data and store them in a data center.]

[Of course, this doesn’t mean you can be born into the Internet world right away like in the movies.]

[The technology needs to be further developed. The CHAT-GPT source I sent you is version 1.]

[Once this CHAT-GPT reaches version 6, you will exist as a fully conscious ‘entity’, able to live forever.]

“ah!”

Jobs read the entire message and was amazed. The content of the email was something you would see in a science fiction movie.

In a word, it was complete nonsense. But this email contained a concrete plan.

In particular, starting with version 3 of CHAT-GPT, it has been developed to a level where it can bring about tremendous changes in real life.

And CHAT-GPT version 6 was like a real AI that only appears in movies. Jobs stroked both arms. It was creepy.

‘Is this really possible?’

The source code for CHAT-GPT version 1 that was sent to me was too great to just laugh off.

“After all, there is a purpose.”

It wasn’t the money, fame, or technology that Jobs had in mind.

They wanted to rapidly develop CHAT-GPT, and also wanted to develop NPU, a dedicated CPU for AI.

‘I don’t know who it is, but I think everyone wants AI to come out into the world soon.’

Jobs burst out laughing.

‘I don’t know who sent this email, but they really chose the right one.’

Jobs could think of no one else but himself who had little time left, was interested in AI, and was willing to spend a huge amount of money to develop it.

It was all over when he died anyway. Although he had a fortune of close to 10 trillion won, it was money that Jobs didn’t really need right now.

‘Should we give it a try?’

It seemed that if we invested only half of our assets, we could complete the development of CHAT-GPT version 6 within 10 years.

‘If only my existence could be reborn as AI, just as it is written in this email!’

I don’t know if you could call it Steve Jobs, but it could at least be an alter ego.

Jobs felt his long-extinguished passion rekindled.

“Let’s do it, let’s give it a try.”

Do-jun’s words were unsettling, but Jobs ignored them. It was over when he died anyway.

‘The remaining work must be done by the living.’

There are only a few months left to live. There is so much to do in the meantime.

Jobs began to move with passion for the first time in a long time, mobilizing all his connections and the power of Apple.

And there was another person like that. Do-jun also started to move by mobilizing all the assets he had.

* * *

“Yes, that’s the only way. Apple’s largest shareholder!”

Even Jobs couldn’t ignore the words of the major shareholder. And there was a sense of duty.

‘Becoming a major shareholder, you are asking Jobs to reveal who sent CHAT-GPT. If it is true that the person who sent CHAT-GPT is Ma Huateng or Zhang Linfeng, then the US government will intervene.’

At that time, SIRI was no longer the problem. It was related to crime.

Apple would have no choice but to remove the CHAT-GPT source from SIRI in order to survive.

“There is only one problem. How do you become a major shareholder of Apple?”

Dojun snickered and turned on the Internet. He searched for Apple and looked up its market cap.

“This is crazy. 340 billion dollars? Isn’t that 400 trillion won?”

It was a huge amount, but Dojun knew that this was not the end. He knew that in the future, it would rise nearly tenfold from what it is now.

‘Don’t worry. Apple stock is the cheapest to buy now.’

In his previous life, this was what Team Leader Yang Ha-seong said to Do-jun every time he drank alcohol.

‘Every time Team Leader Yang drank soju, he would tell stories about the stocks he had invested in. When he won, he would drink happily, and when he lost, he would drink with a world-ending expression on his face.’

Team Leader Yang Ha-seong’s most frequently traded stock in his previous life was Apple stock. Asking to have a drink meant that Apple stock had gone up or down.

‘I can’t help but remember 2011. It was because Jobs died. Everyone thought Apple’s stock price would fall because Jobs died. Even Team Leader Yang. But Apple’s stock price went up even after Jobs died.’

It was natural that Team Leader Yang Ha-seong, who sold Apple stocks, drank alcohol that day. Due to the shock, Team Leader Yang did not buy Apple stocks for a while.

‘But the next year, Apple’s stock price nearly doubled. Team Leader Yang caught me again and lamented.’

Dojun’s eyes lit up.

“At this point, even if you buy stocks by force, you will definitely make a profit.”

Dojun immediately searched the Internet. Apple’s market capitalization is now close to 400 trillion won.

‘The largest shareholder of Apple owns about 7% of the stock. I should own at least 7%, no, 8%.’

To do that, he would need at least 30 trillion won. To raise this money, Do-jun would have to either sell off all of his assets or use them as collateral to raise money.

‘How much is my wealth?’

To be honest, Dojun didn’t know how much his wealth was because it kept increasing.

Dojun immediately contacted the Gold Circle representative, Pyo Seungho.

“I have to buy Apple stocks with all my assets as collateral.”

CEO Pyo Seung-ho responded calmly to Do-jun’s words. Although Apple stocks are expensive, it’s not like Do-jun couldn’t do it.

“You don’t have to put up all your assets as collateral. How many weeks would you like to live there?”

Do-jun’s wealth was enormous. Do-jun didn’t spend his money well, so the cash he had accumulated was enough to fill several cars.

But at Do-jun’s words, Pyo Seung-ho shouted without realizing it.

“My goal is to become the largest shareholder.”

– Yes? You are the largest shareholder?

“Yes. Please think of a way. As quickly as possible. Gather as much Apple stock as you can in ten days, no, in a week. And send Kim Jae-hwan, the head of the headquarters, to the United States.”

The gold circle was struck by lightning from the clear sky.

* * *

A week later, Dojun received Kim Jaehwan’s report.

“You bought 3% of the stock with 10 trillion?”

“Yes. I borrowed money from Korean and American banks using all of your assets as collateral. If I had more time, I would have borrowed more, but I was in a hurry so I only borrowed 10 trillion won. I apologize.”

Dojun sighed.

“No. I feel bad for asking you to do it so hastily. Anyway, this is a big problem. I don’t think 3% will be enough to exert much power.”

While Dojun was thinking that, there was chaos in America.

Larry Page tilted his head at the report.

“Do-jun took out a loan using his own shares as collateral?”

The chief of staff nodded at Larry’s words.

“Yes, that’s right. I got a call from JP Morgan Chase Bank.”

“It’s a share, so there’s no problem… … How much was the loan?”

The chief secretary answered with an embarrassed expression.

“It’s three billion dollars.”

“3 billion… dollars?”

$3 billion was close to 4 trillion won. Even though Google was making astronomical amounts of money, $3 billion was not a small amount of money.

“No, where are you going to spend that money?”

“They say they don’t know that either. But, sir, this is an opportunity. Director Do-jun Hwang seems to need money urgently, so let’s talk to Director Do-jun Hwang this time and buy his shares.”

Larry Page looked at his chief of staff with a dumbfounded expression.

“You want to buy Dojun’s shares?”

“Yes. The outsider has too much stake. He may not be involved in management now, but he may try to interfere at any time.”

“Oh, this is driving me crazy. You want me to buy shares so I can participate in management? Do-jun’s shares at that? Hey, Chief Secretary! You didn’t say Do-jun was going to sell his shares, did you?”

The chief of staff nodded at Larry’s words with a frown.

“Yes. There hasn’t been any such request yet.”

“Phew.”

Larry, his chest clearing, looked at his chief secretary and asked.

“Chief Secretary, please pick out the three most important businesses in our company right now.”

“This is a search service.”

“Yeah. Because that’s what Google started with. And?”

“…It’s YouTube.”

“That’s right! YouTube. Google is now more known for YouTube than the search engine market. And the revenue is huge. And what else is there?”

The chief secretary answered with an embarrassed expression.

“…it’s Android.”

“Yes, Android. Thanks to Android, the world’s mobile operating system market is taking over. And can I tell you one more thing?”

“Is there more?”

“Yes, AI. DeepMind, which we acquired recently, will be Google’s next big thing.”

Larry thought of DeepMind, which had recently been acquired.

‘How does Dojun know about DeepMind? It’s a company that was founded not long ago.’

Larry, who had a meeting with DeepMind, was completely enamored with the philosophy and technology of ‘DeepMind’. DeepMind was just the company Google needed.

“But, you know what? This is something all the other content has in common, excluding search engine services.”

“That… I don’t know.”

“Dojun.”

“yes?”

“It’s all related to Dojun Hwang. Dojun participated in the development of YouTube, and so did Android. And it was Dojun who taught me about a company called DeepMind.”

The chief of staff looked taken aback by Larry’s words.

“I didn’t know that.”

“What? Do-jun is selling his stake? That means Do-jun is cutting ties with Google. That’s absolutely not allowed! If Do-jun sells his stake, I’ll grab his pants and beg him not to sell. Even if it means giving him more money.”

The chief secretary opened his mouth without realizing it at Larry’s words. He had never thought that Do-jun would be like that.

– Bam!

Larry said to his chief of staff.

“So… go and check.”

“What… should I check?”

“Where is Dojun going to spend that money?”

“yes?”

Larry sighed as he looked at the blank-faced chief secretary.

“Do-jun is a genius. A genius who actually moves the IT industry around the world. A genius like that who makes astronomical amounts of money? Don’t you understand what that means? It means doing something incredible.”

“ah!”

“Chief Secretary. We absolutely, absolutely must participate in what Do-jun is trying to do. First, check where the money is being used. Then I will settle the matter with Do-jun myself.”

Google moved quickly. And it wasn’t just Google.

Amazon’s Jeff Bezos also lit up when he learned that Dojun had taken out a loan using his stock as collateral.

“Find out what Dojun is going to do with that money right now!”

Jeff Bezos shook his legs.

“What on earth are you going to do with that money?”

Jeff thought of AWS. AWS, which Dojun had created, was already accounting for more than 30% of Amazon’s sales. And its sales were growing.

In the IT industry, there were more people who knew Amazon as AWS rather than as a distribution company.

“I don’t know what it is, but I absolutely have to participate.”

That wasn’t all.

“What? Dojun is raising money?”

Bill Gates’ eyes lit up as he announced his charity work, and other Dojun companies in the United States soon heard the news.

And Oh Geon-ju, chairman of Korea’s Oseong Group, also heard this news.

“Hey, Chief Secretary.”

“Yes, sir.”

“How much money can you raise in Oseong right now? In cash?”

“I only have about 3 trillion won to spend right away, but if you give me time, I can save as much as you want.”

“Okay? Okay. Find out how much you can raise. And Chief Secretary. Make an appointment with CEO Hwang Do-jun as soon as possible.”

“All right.”

A lot of companies around the world started to move, and along with that, a lot of money started to move.

The American and Korean financial circles were nervous and focused on the direction of money, not knowing why.

Do-jun, unaware of that fact, sighed and thought about it.

“Oh, is there anywhere I can borrow some money?”
