Li Yizhou's Douyin introduction **Douyin screenshot
Li Yizhou "flipped over".
This "translation" has two meanings. The first layer refers to the knowledge paying big V who claims to be a doctor from Tsinghua University, and he has made a lot of money by selling AI paid courses. He used a 199 yuan course to attract traffic to the use of higher-fee AI tools, realizing a closed business loop from selling courses to selling tools. According to the estimated data circulating in the industry, its revenue has been calculated in 100 million.
Maybe many people don't know what scale this is? Here is a quote from a technology startup executive, who said, "Any large model company in China with a valuation of billions or tens of billions of dollars, the revenue level in 2023 is likely to be less than that of Dr. Li, who sells classes on Douyin, which is a bit magical." ”
In other words, the companies that really cultivate AI large models can't compare to this "peach-picking" blogger. His ability to absorb gold is so strong that some people ridiculed him: "Since Sora is on fire, you are the only Chinese god in the AI circle who can be on an equal footing with Ultraman." ”
Li Yizhou, who is well versed in the traffic method, gladly accepted and responded, "I will continue to work hard and continue to catch up." This operation won him a hot search again.
There is also a layer of meaning that Li Yizhou's "boat" has capsized. The high popularity brought by SORA and the backlash of its own traffic, the AI training courses he launched were questioned as "wrong versions", low course quality, network handling, etc. At present, Li Yizhou's personal ** account has been banned from following, his courses have been removed from the shelves on platforms such as Douyin and WeChat**, and the WeChat mini-program "Yizhou One Lesson" used to sell AI courses has also shown that its service is suspended.
According to the case of the knowledge of the overturned car in the past, Li Yizhou may be silent for a while, change his vest and make a comeback again. However, CCTV Finance reported on the matter, pointing out that Li Yizhou used inciting words, a doctor from Tsinghua University, and an AI consultant for several companies to sell the course. CCTV Finance also referred to the lawyer's opinion, believing that if Li Yizhou's course is quite different from the content of the advertisement, or there is false publicity, it may infringe on the rights and interests of consumers. In this case, the consumer can claim a refund and claim compensation of three times the amount.
This is a treatment that Mimon has not "enjoyed". Although he had previously had a psychological construction "You make money, and it's a lot of money, then you have to be sprayed as a matter of course." "ButCCTV released a signal, basically announcing that Li Yizhou was "cold", and there was no possibility of turning over, and he may face legal prosecution in the future. According to **, up to now, the above-mentioned large model service has not been filed for the deep synthesis service algorithm of Internet information services, that is to say, Li Yizhou's AI large model** is suspected of illegal operation.
Zhou Hongyi, the founder of 360, said in an interview that there is a great demand for AI science popularization, and the main reason why Li Yizhou was able to obtain a high income is that he found the needs of users from the perspective of users. He also pointed out that Li Yizhou's biggest problem is that the relevant course content should not be charged, but should be free. I will launch a free AI training course to do more AI science popularization.
In fact, Li Yizhou's AI course is playing the information gap, capturing the anxiety of some consumers and charging consumers' IQ tax. Its basic model can be summarized as: "personality endorsement + course painting pie + hunger ** + selling courses and drainage".
Li Yizhou is very hard-working, has strong marketing ability, and is indeed sought after by many users. But the direction of his efforts is completely different from OpenAI CEO Sam Ultraman, who is more talked about for his "miracles" under the "money ability", although Sora is still stuck in PPT and cannot be used by users publicly.
As a paid knowledge self-leader, Li Yizhou's personality signature is: Ph.D. from Tsinghua University, founder of three technology companies, financing tens of millions, professional manager, good at solving AI artificial intelligence, business model, knowledge IP and traffic problems. Among them,His most proud title is undoubtedly "Dr. Tsinghua", which is also his biggest basis for seizing traffic.
This character has encountered a lot of controversy. For example, the Ph.D. of Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts is not a serious Tsinghua doctor, and his design major has nothing to do with engineering and computer science, and he has no career related to artificial intelligence. Strictly speaking, Li Yizhou is also a layman in AI expertise and so on.
But this does not affect the label of "Dr. Tsinghua", which has become his most powerful knife in selling courses. In all the materials that Li Yizhou publicly promoted, the title of "Dr. Tsinghua" was put at the core. He also bluntly said: "Many people are coming for my Tsinghua doctor, why don't I mention it?" That's where my strength lies. ”
Dr. Tsinghua was originally a kind of glory that overflowed with strength, and in Li Yizhou's business experience, Tsinghua became the whetstone for him to harvest leeks, but in the end he also suffered a backlash, and it was the most ruthless stone he smashed head-on after he fell.
Li Yizhou may not have read "Journey to the West" carefully, if he can figure out Sun Wukong's attitude towards his teacher, he should be in awe of the words "Dr. Tsinghua", and really take the responsibility that these four words should bear.
In the original book of "Journey to the West", the stone monkey who is still the Monkey King in Huaguo Mountain has no name and no surname (sex) at this time. After witnessing the old monkey die of old age, I feel that I will also face this end. After ten years, from Dongsheng Shenzhou, through the South Ganbu Continent, came to Xiniuhe Continent, and worshiped under the Bodhi ancestor in the three-star cave of the oblique moon.
Patriarch Bodhi has the grace of reinvention for Sun Wukong, which is mainly reflected in two aspects:Bestow a name, bestow a profession. The former makes Sun Wukong have his name between heaven and earth, and is no longer a wild stone monkey; The latter taught it seventy-two changes and the art of flying clouds and fog, erasing the wildness of Sun Wukong, and helping Sun Wukong to gain a foothold in the world of the five elements more freely.
After Sun Wukong learned the ability to cultivate immortals, Patriarch Bodhi found a reason to drive him down the mountain. Before leaving, he kept telling Sun Wukong that "I am not allowed to say that I am my apprentice". The original text reads like this:
The patriarch said, "If you go here, you will have a bad life." Depending on how you cause trouble**, but you are not allowed to say that it is my apprentice, you can say half a word, I will know, peel your skin and file your bones, reduce your soul to the nine secluded places, and teach you not to turn over! Sun Wukong is also a person of great affection, and replied with tears: "I will never dare to mention the word **, just say that it is my own meeting." ”
Since then, Sun Wukong has never seen Patriarch Bodhi again, nor has he mentioned his name. In the original book, there are two more remarkable details. First, after Sun Wukong went down the mountain, he returned to Huaguo Mountain, and a monkey Sun asked, after so many years, have you gone **? What did you learn?
Wukong said: "I didn't wait for you back then, drifted with the waves, floated across the East Ocean, went to the South Ganbu Continent, and learned the ** image." Wearing this clothes, wearing this shoes, swinging and swaying, I have traveled for more than a year, and there has never been a way. Crossing the Western Sea again, to the boundary of Xiniu Hezhou, visiting for a long time, fortunately met an ancestor, passed on the true fruit of my longevity with the sky, the ** door of immortality and immortality. ”
There is another case where Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and a golden hoop stick disturbed the heavenly court. The Jade Emperor invited the Buddha. When the Buddha asked him where he was going to be a teacher, the great sage said, "I am here."
Heaven and earth are born into a spirit mixed with immortals, an old ape in Huaguo Mountain.
The water curtain cave is a family business, and a friend is looking for a teacher to understand Taixuan.
How many methods of immortality are refined, and the changes in learning are boundless.
In the mortal world, the land is too narrow, and the heart wants to live in Yaotian.
The Lingxiao Treasure Hall has not been for a long time, and the kings of the past generations have been divided.
The strong should be respected, and the hero should dare to be the first. ”
Under the inquiry of his relatives and the pressure of the authorities, Sun Wukong kept his promise to **.
Why did Patriarch Bodhi prohibit Sun Wukong from revealing his mentorship to the outside world, the original book did not introduce it in depth, but Wu Chengen tacitly followed Patriarch Bodhi's "explanation", and this relationship was not mentioned in subsequent chapters. Even at the moment of crisis, or when he was wiped out by the Buddha, Sun Wukong did not mention the Bodhi Dao Ancestor, and used the name of the teacher to resolve the crisis.
The Buddha knows the details of Sun Wukong. When he admonished, he said, "Take refuge as soon as possible, and don't talk nonsense!" But I am afraid that I will be poisoned, and my life will be suspended in an instantIt's a pity that you are who you are
If Sun Wukong shouted at this time, "I am under the seat of the Bodhi Patriarch of the Sanxing Cave of the Oblique Moon**" I guess I would not have been crushed under the Five Elements Mountain immediately, eating iron gall, drinking copper juice, lying on my stomach for five hundred years before I was able to get out, and then went through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, obtained the true scriptures, and was named the Buddha of Fighting.
In Sun Wukong's heart, Patriarch Bodhi is like a biological father. As a teacher for one day, you will be respected for life. But in Li Yizhou's view, Shimen is the banner he holds high to make money.
Today, Li Yizhou did not become an "AI god" in the end, and Tsinghua University has one less successful entrepreneurial doctoral alumnus. It is worth mentioning that on the official website of Tsinghua University, there is still an article by Li Yizhou, entitled "Entrepreneurship Doctor from Tsinghua Park". In this article, Li Yizhou is the founder of KeyWu Technology.
Tsinghua University's official website also has a report by Li Yizhou in 2015).
According to the setting in martial arts, Li Yizhou is suspected of insulting the master, but whether he really caused trouble for the master has its own opinions. But in the rivers and lakes, there is an unwritten rule that the scum of the division must be eliminated at a fixed time. Gu Long, Jin Yong and others have such plots, and Xiao Yuer's "Ten Wicked Guys" master can only hide on Alcatraz Island.
This is projected into reality, reflecting a simple moral standard: rat poop is to be cleaned up in the garbage.
From this point of view, domestic universities, including Tsinghua University, should have a set of reasonable measures to regulate the "water selling" behavior of these alumni. Even if there is no exit or accountability mechanism, at least the threshold for alumni to use the reputation of their alma mater to engage in speculative business activities. This is beneficial to the academic atmosphere, social atmosphere and public sentiment.
* Lead into the door, practice in the individual" is true, and knowledge payment has long become a mature business model, but under the mud and sand, there will be Zhang Yizhou and Wang Yizhou after Li Yizhou. Follow-up traceability should also become a necessary part of testing the quality of teaching.
If they can all learn from Sun Wukong, the possibility of chaos or overturning the "boat" will be even smaller.
