Lin Mo, 42 years old, is a senior engineer in a large factory, P8 in AI direction, job number 000371, one of the first batch to join the company, and the last one to be laid off.
On the day of layoffs, the April ginkgo trees in Beijing had just sprouted. The HR girl's eyes drifted to the coffee cup. He put his work badge on the table and walked away. He went home and ate a bowl of noodles without bargaining or crying.
Then start submitting your resume. Thirty-one messages, no reply. It's not that he's not good enough, it's that his age was screened out by the AI first.
He did not criticize the system, but wrote 40,000 words of technical documents, pouring out all the things he had saved over the past twenty years. Halfway through writing, old memories of the national AI project codenamed Tianshu I participated in ten years ago were brought up. He suddenly discovered that he had unintentionally solved the technical problem that was stuck back then.
The interview notice from Qingtian Technology arrived at 9pm. The CTO asked three tricky questions, and Lin Mo answered them one by one, getting to the core.
After the interview, Shen Ruoxue, a female CEO who was eleven years younger than him, chased him into the corridor and asked for his technical documents.
Later, he used three lines of code to solve the P0 fault that all employees had troubleshooted for two hours, and promoted the core breakthrough of the domestic AI engine. The Tianshu plan was sealed and restarted after ten years. At the international summit, he stood on the stage and gave a speech - "At Forty, Start Again."
