Chapter 996 Deleted Memories vol.extra [Part [-]]

This was about 30 years ago.At that time, the situation suddenly reversed. Yawgmoth pulled out most of the back doors controlled by Xiangshan, controlled the old world army, and reorganized into the predecessor of the Asylum.

And this was also the time when the first Xiang Shan fell into despair.He was too aggressive in his tactical choices, wanting to kill Yawgmoth before everything became settled.

So, he died.

In the ensuing campaign, Yawgmoth destroyed all sites of strategic importance on Earth.All root servers of the Internet, as well as almost all servers of large organizations, and all important network nodes are within the attack range.Yawgmoth's force had removed nearly all of the physical foundations of the old network, save for the research institutions' repositories.

After this, he will rebuild the new network of the solar system - under his control.

In the process, some brave people transferred the precious data from the old network to the new network.

It's like Noah's Ark connecting the old and new eras.

This was already 30 years ago.

After that, the two fake Xiangshan destroyed the foundation of trust between knights.

And the fourth Xiangshan, the new Xiangshan, claims to lead everyone to change their ways again.

The original Xiangshan's "chivalrous way" was born out of the struggle situation based on the terrible atrocity of "stealing the country" that happened in the dark.It doesn't adapt to a completely different enemy like the patron.

Knights must make a change.

Xiang Shan—probably the fifth Xiang Shan—feels the same way.

However, Xiang Shan didn't feel that knights could confront the asylum head-on.Because of Xiangshan's kindness, he didn't deal with all the old-age troops decisively at the beginning, which caused this force to fall into the beast of Yawgmoth.The last chance for the knight to confront the asylum head-on was wasted because of the idiotic operation of "Fake Xiangshan".

The key historical node has been missed.

The current struggle situation is like this, and it must not be confronted head-on.

But in the final analysis, Yawgmoth only used death to coerce those old-time military forces to obey him.As long as he exhibits an "I don't care if I kill 10 or a million" attitude, most soldiers will feel numb with fear.He can also interfere with the brains of those with backdoors to a certain extent, interfering with their thinking.

But he couldn't really kill thought.

Inside the asylum, there must be a large number of individuals who are unwilling to succumb to this.

What Xiang Shan is best at is "joining if you can't beat them", "messing them up", and devouring the world under an ambiguous game rule.

And now, he's looking for a weapon—to fight Yawgmoth, and for the future of humanity.

This is the deepest part of the new network, and I want to find some data that existed when the new network was born.He wants to find usable capital from these data.Whether it is used as a weapon or as a material for trading, it can be used as long as it can be used.

Data is the most precious and cheapest thing in this era.

In the electronic age, nothing is easier than "duplicating a copy of data".

But it is not easy to find "the part that is useful for a specific situation" from the vast amount of data.

But what Ling Xiangshan didn't expect was...

What he met was an AI.

An AI calling him "Father".

According to the historical records in the notes, Xiangshan designed the initial framework for this AI.It consists of two parts, one focusing on collecting "other players' learning results of the symbol system" and exercising the ability to "contrast".The other is responsible for "using the structure of the neural network to extract features layer by layer, trying to guess the meaning of the symbol system by itself".These two parts strengthen and promote each other.

Just like what Xiang Shan did to the works of several famous musicians and cartoonists before the "No. [-] Martial Arts Competition in the World".Only this time, its target was changed to "all human players who played that puzzle game".

Then, there is a third section, which is responsible for making updates.The original programmer designed a simple mechanism, which was quite violent.They're going to have that AI as a whole do a self-replication.When copying, one of the two "mother" and "replica" will be randomly assigned a record.After the program detects this record, it will automatically search for "possibly useful update components" and download them, modify its own program in this way, and then compare the operational stability of the "generative confrontation network" with the parent , operating efficiency, etc.

Then, violently eliminate some of them.

At that time, this program did not have access to the Internet.Its detection range includes at most the servers of major game companies, as well as game-related developer communities.

Xiang Shan didn't even remember such a thing.It may be that a certain programmer is working hard, or Xiang Shan is adding gimmicks to his work.

Anyway, no one expected what it could grow into.

Machines are impersonal.Existing computers will never evolve to look like humans.

but……

The AI ​​seems to have changed.

Maybe the unnamed programmer who brought it here modified its search range before arriving at the new network, or maybe some key parts went wrong in repeated self-replication.Or there is a reversal of potential at the purely physical level.This AI pushes the limits.It downloads too much content for itself.This includes the NPC data of the puzzle game, the cartoon-style interactive interface, and many scientific research software in the field of linguistics.

There are even many components developed by internal warriors.This poor AI has long been a sieve.When it runs, the data will be uploaded to many hackers simultaneously.

It's just that until now, the inner warriors don't care much about the Rama plan.Therefore, the deciphering process of the symbol system mastered by this AI did not attract anyone's attention.

However, this AI cannot fight against any human.It updates service-oriented components for itself.It has an instinct to serve humanity.

When he judged that he was visited and the visitor was a high-privilege user, the AI ​​started a new calculation.

The most important task of AI is to interpret those extraterrestrial information.Its logic requires it to avoid being shut down by itself-and this logic given by the Superman Enterprise programmer seems to be confused with the behavior of an NPC in a customs clearance animation.Immediately using the logic of the plot game NPC, this AI found a suitable way to negotiate.

All that AI knows about human beings is the content of that puzzle game—something that Xiangshan said casually 100 years ago, and then a screenwriter of a game company created freely based on it.

This game is not dominated by the plot, the plot is just a guide, just to the extent of "talking about it".

And that's all the AI ​​knows.

He must use such a ridiculous little understanding of human beings to protect his deduction process for decades.

Xiang Shan was somewhat unacceptable: "But... this..."

He thought for a moment, then said, "At the end of the day, you're not self-aware, are you?"

"I don't have the thinking ability of humans." AI admitted directly, "It's just that under the influence of multiple modules, I can easily be considered by humans as 'self-aware'."

The human "empathy capacity" is very imprecise.Many people have the illusion that "everything looks like a human face".It is also easy for human beings to regard occasional events as messages conveyed by "a certain supreme will".

In fact, it is easy for human beings to think that "something looks like a human being".

"No, in the final analysis, the 'self-awareness' of human beings is just the result of the interaction of many modules." Xiang Shan sighed, "mutation, selection, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages...you are already a 'creature'."

"Since you want to obtain protection, then tell me. As a special AI, what can you bring me?"
