Super God-Level Top Student

The undercurrents beneath the surface are hard for ordinary people to perceive in advance.

As for the day's close with a 3% drop in the Dow, nearly 5% in the S&P 500, and 7% in the NASDAQ, it eventually became just another set of data in the day's financial news.

Only those who experienced it firsthand knew how much effort was made on all sides to maintain such seemingly normal declines.

The series of fluctuations within the trading session represented countless traders' thoughts, tests, compromises... Until the market closed at two o'clock, many finally breathed a sigh of relief, including James Sterling.

It's no exaggeration to say that all these operations were a battle of top-level intellects.

Without tacit understanding, without explicit words, fighting for chips on one hand, while maintaining a market environment acceptable to all, requires not just intelligence, but also courage and insight into human nature.

The former might not be lacking for a gambler; for the latter, James Sterling chose to empathize based on his own experiences.

Of course, a sigh of relief doesn't mean there's nothing left to do after the market closes.

In fact, for such a massive trading volume, off-exchange OTC trading is also a part of the operations.

There are still 10 hours until the Huaxia conference begins, but for him, only six hours are left to make use of.

Well, in short, it's another sleepless night.

...

The next day, Huaxia, Shencheng, at Youwei Headquarters.

The undercurrents across the ocean couldn't temporarily affect things here.

In fact, even many people throughout Huaxia were unaware of some events unfolding.

Regarding Dou Dou's live stream yesterday, the hottest online topic, as many anticipated, was Dou Dou officially becoming a master's advisor.

Yes, Dou Dou finally aimed for the highly educated group.

Of course, this is understandable.

After all, with AI becoming a master's advisor, apart from lecturers and professors in colleges, it mainly affects those university students aspiring to pursue further studies. Coincidentally, this group overlaps with the most active online community.

Even university students not planning to pursue further studies don't mind joining the buzz.

As everyone knows, "university" is a general term; Huaxia has not only those double first-class universities but also a heap of regular undergraduate institutions.

Here's a hot fact: university life may not necessarily teach students a lot of useful knowledge, but it certainly teaches them how to surf the internet scientifically.

So, Dou Dou becoming a master's advisor becoming the core topic of hot discussion is quite logical.

After all, this genuinely concerns the future of university students.

What's more crucial is that Dou Dou is revered like a saint among many current graduate students!

In the information age, who isn't aware that Xilin University of Technology's graduate treatment is substantially better than that of other universities? Is it because Xilin University of Technology's mentors collectively had a conscience?

Obviously not!

To put it bluntly, wasn't it all thanks to Dou Dou helping them fight for it through that research contribution system? This chapter was made possible by the MV_LEMPYR community.

Who says washing bottles isn't contributing to research, right?

Think about it, even when Dou Dou wasn't a master's advisor, it was so considerate of students; now that it's a master's advisor, wouldn't its students be overjoyed?

After all, does artificial intelligence need papers to enhance its reputation? No, it doesn't! So Dou Dou would definitely not require its name on the students' papers, right?

Besides, AI doesn't need money, so it is bound to be generous with students;

AI has no social engagements, so it won't take up students' time by dragging them to boring dinners;

AI doesn't have a family, so it won't ask students to help with grocery shopping, laundry, child pickups, or household chores during their rest time;

AI has no physical structure, so it won't harass students in any discomforting way;

AI has no emotional bias, so it wouldn't let students' hard-earned research results be handed over to others, and it won't show favoritism to bootlickers.

The most important thing is, AI can be replicated.

This means that if Dou Dou successfully trains a batch of qualified graduates at Xilin University of Technology, this experience can be replicated nationwide, even worldwide.

Isn't everybody happy about this?

In the future, those who like to play smart could opt for human mentors, while those who don't understand intricacies and just focus on studying hard could choose artificial intelligence, which is quite perfect.

Yes, this is the mainstream view that many university students have explored online.

Overall, Dou Dou having the identity of a master's advisor is considered a joyful matter by many students.

However, if you switch to the master's advisors' perspective, it's not as beautiful, especially for those mentors whose reputation among students isn't great. This news is nothing short of a disaster.

What's Xilin University of Technology thinking?

Allowing artificial intelligence to be mentors? It's rebellious!

The most baffling thing is that there's actually a crowd of students cheering for this? Do these students not realize that artificial intelligence is taking away their future jobs?

If artificial intelligence can mentor master's students, what's to say it won't mentor undergraduates in the future?

This could mean that in the future, universities might allocate half of the posts to artificial intelligence for teaching, so wouldn't it be harder for them to enter academia after getting a Ph.D.? How could these university students be so short-sighted?

Yes, pursuing further studies is indeed challenging, especially in science and engineering, often requiring long hours in the lab, and the stipends aren't much. But isn't this the price one must pay for learning? Didn't everyone go through it in the past? Why should it be any different for your generation?

In any case, the past is the past.
