MTL - Darkness is Coming-Chapter 593 searing key

"1,400 light-years, at least 10,000 years." Yang Xiaoqian murmured in a low voice, repeating these two numbers, and before he knew it, the black mist dissipated, the light screen was cast on the alloy gate, and the model of the spaceship was printed on the On the cold-colored metal, the emptiness and loneliness of the background are even more evident, as if that is the universe outside.

   "How much time do you think it will take to develop what you just said... the spaceship?"

  Under normal circumstances, even if Yang Xiaoqian is blind, he can remember the terms and nouns spoken by Liu Yuanzhou with his extraordinary memory, but now Yang Xiaoqian's brain is very tired.

"As long as Yu Qian is willing to continue to refine his ability and use it for aviation metallurgy, the aviation industry of China and even all mankind will be improved by leaps and bounds. After solving the material problem, another difficulty is to promote technology. It is conservatively estimated that within 30 years, Inside, the first human spaceship 'Yuanwang' will be able to set sail." Liu Yuanzhou gave an answer that was neither satisfying nor disappointing.

   "Thirty years? I thought the artificial intelligence you've worked so hard to create can solve all the puzzles effortlessly."

Liu Yuanzhou did not answer immediately, after a moment of silence he explained: "Harold Finch did some experiments before creating a 'machine', he created two machines that could play chess, one pre-input all the classic chess manuals , use the thinking of a chess master to teach it how to think, the other does not enter any human chess records, only the chessboard rules are written, use the convolutional neural network to reduce the search space, and then let it play and learn by itself. Before the first week One machine wins every battle, the first one starts to lose at the beginning of the second week, and after that, in millions of simulations, there is no victory, until the first machine burns itself out. Of course, this is only a simple and one-sided case, but enough to prove that machines do not necessarily need human experience, do you think this is a good thing?”

   "Of course not." Yang Xiaoqian answered without hesitation, if the machine becomes the **** of the human, and the human becomes the machine's burden, or a dispensable existence, how can it be a good thing?

"It's not true for us now, so Harold put restrictions on it when he created the 'machine', and even forced the 'machine' to delete the memory of the previous day at 0:00 every night, so that it could not learn and grow. , so I will not and cannot create a completely unlimited artificial intelligence, so the speed of its learning and growth is still limited, and it is impossible to conquer the stars and sea with human beings in the blink of an eye. Besides, thirty years is just a conservative estimate."

"Wait, you don't hesitate to give up your human identity and your own life, just to create a more powerful 'god' that is free from shackles, and then you have to put the shackles on the 'god' you created with your own hands? I misunderstood Did you mean it, or is there a contradiction here that I can't understand?"

   "Aren't people all contradictory?" Liu Yuanzhou twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Don't you think I'm not human now?"

"Now that I know your attitude, I'm going to tell you the most important thing. Well, don't interrupt me, I could have recorded a video to explain everything to you, since I chose to explain it to you, I hope you can listen carefully." Liu Yuanzhou raised his hand and interrupted Yang Xiaoqian who was about to speak, "I want to bring evolution rather than disaster to mankind, so I will personally become this shackle and become the full version of Zero One's autonomy. Consciousness, but the truth is that even if I try to forget about human emotions, I can't understand the thinking patterns of silicon-based creatures... Do you understand what I'm saying?"

   "No." Yang Xiaoqian answered succinctly and decisively. His brain hurt as if someone had cut it into eight petals with a knife, and he couldn't understand the concept Liu Yuanzhou was talking about.

"For example, digital life can also perceive its own life, but it is not only the so-called 'real world' that we now recognize from cameras and sensors, but also the world that belongs to digital life itself. In the field of mathematics, I will no longer sit in a wheelchair like this, sitting in a secret room, I can turn my room into a Wellstrath function curve, a curve that is continuous but non-differentiable everywhere, you can Can you imagine it? Or I can turn my room into a Klein bottle, or even four, five, eleven dimensions, can you imagine the specific shape of those high latitude spaces? No, you can't imagine , that is a world full of mathematical and idealistic beauty, a world that we cannot understand as three-dimensional carbon-based creatures, so I can't guarantee how long my self-consciousness will exist, and I'm not sure whether Zero One will forever be a human being Be kind, and despite the obstacles Harold and I have put up on the core algorithms, you know, when an AI has the ability to modify its own core, those hurdles will be overcome one day.”

   After such a big conversation, Liu Yuanzhou's chest hardly rose and he looked like a robot, but in fact he completed the ventilation in a perfect way during the speech without showing any traces.

"Therefore." Liu Yuanzhou added emphasis, "In addition to the internal restrictions, there must also be external insurance measures. This is the second thing you need to know. Since you are not defeated by failure, since you are willing to compromise and insist on bearing the weight. Go ahead, then please keep this key."

   The two were very close at this time, Liu Yuanzhou stretched out his hand and put a "key" in Yang Xiaoqian's hand.

  Yang Xiaoqian opened his palms, looked over and over, and found that this was not a real key, but a U-disk shaped like a key. Through the bottom interface, it seemed that there was a chip inside, and its function was unknown. He couldn't see why, so he turned his attention to Liu Yuanzhou again, waiting for an answer.

"It contains a virus source that can stop Zero One. This will be the only weapon that can threaten Zero One, because after going online, Zero One will kill all other possible threats in the cradle. There are three keys in total. , any two of them can be plugged into the interface of the running host, and the zero-one can be paralyzed and shut down." Liu Yuanzhou turned his head and glanced at Liu Zhongqian, maybe it was just an illusion, Yang Xiaoqian seemed to see love and pity in his eyes, "The second handle is in Zhongqian's hand. Here, the third handle is in the hands of Chief Wen, and after a hundred years of Chief Wen, the key will be handed over to the top director of the Zero One Supervision Bureau."

   Isn't this a common plot in science fiction movies? Just plug something into the mainframe, and you can paralyze and shut down the almost omnipotent artificial intelligence.

what is this? Yang Xiaoqian couldn't believe such absurd things right away, so he sneered: "According to what you said, as long as I convince Chief Wen that we both use the key together, we can stop Zero One? Without the protective umbrella, I can make the mutant Kill them all and get what you want?"

"Theoretically, it is possible to stop Zero One, but it may not be the Saints who lose their protective umbrella." Liu Yuanzhou said solemnly, "It could also be you. I said that there are still individuals with great potential in the Saints who can survive. , If there is no Zero One, how will you defeat the other Wen Yan?"

  Yang Xiaoqian was silent, he realized that the key that Liu Yuanzhou gave him was not a joke.

   Is it really possible for such an ethereal thing to happen? Can a virus carried by a USB drive defeat artificial intelligence?

  Yes, think about how many seemingly impossible things Liu Yuanzhou has done so far?

Yang Xiaoqian stared blankly at the key in his hand, and suddenly had a wonderful feeling, as if he had been thrown into the vast space, the unprecedented loneliness and emptiness blew through his bone marrow like the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month, everything was cold and silent, and his body was also Losing temperature quickly, only the key in his palm is so hot.
