My autobiography cannot be a tragedy

He personally sent the two of Meng Lang out of Nanshan Temple.

Smart master clasped his hands together and said with a smile.

"Today I had a very happy conversation with Meng Xiaoyou. It is really a blessing in life. If you are free in the future, you are welcome to come to my Nanshan Temple to taste tea and discuss Taoism at any time."

"I am very grateful to be able to get the guidance of the master. I will definitely come to visit again in the future."

Before leaving, Meng Lang turned around and asked another question.

"By the way, master, you said that all living beings have Buddha nature, but if they are not living beings, can they also become Buddhas?"

Smart was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly.

"Amitabha! All sentient beings have Buddha-nature, so they become Buddhas. Plants and trees belong to dharma, and they have dharma-nature.

Dharma nature is the Buddha nature, there is no confusion, so there is no cycle of life and death, all mountains, rivers and earth are born due to conditions, and perish due to conditions, and all flowers, plants, mountains and rocks are the dharmakaya of all Buddhas and Tathagatas.

Anyone with compassion can become a Buddha! "

"emm..."

Meng Lang sighed inwardly.

It's a pity that in this world, few become Buddhas, but many become demons...

……

[2023 is the first year of the "Smart AI Revolution".

In this year, the logo of the silver-white robot sitting cross-legged on the starry sky, as if closing its eyes and meditating... has amazed the world!

The fledgling Baiyeji spent 5 years building a huge cloud computing center covering the entire China from point to surface, and began to apply the mass-produced 28-nanometer optical chip "A" on a large scale.

Intelligent AI that "can understand the world and give efficient feedback", as we expected, has triggered a systematic efficiency revolution...

Web3.0 technology has accelerated this process.

By 2025, Bai Yeji's cloud computing market share has exceeded 50%!

The artificial intelligence alliance composed of giants such as Microsoft, Bone Song, Feide, and Amazon joined forces to resist. Although it is still losing ground, it has stimulated the accelerated research and development of artificial intelligence technology.

The competition brought about by the proliferation of advanced AI technology is controllable due to the adoption of "from shallow to deep" gradual technology launch.

Bai Yeji's AI technology has always remained in the leading echelon.

Continuously launching more advanced algorithms and continuously reducing the operating cost of the cloud computing center, Bai Yeji defeated all opponents with a destructive momentum.
Finally, a "cloud computing hegemony" centered in Asia and covering the whole world will be built!
Except for Asia, a small part of Europe, most of Latin America, and almost all of Africa's cloud computing markets have been seized.

With the explosion of communication technology, mobile phones are replaced by cloud mobile phones, computers are replaced by cloud computers, vehicles are replaced by cloud cars...

The whole world has ushered in the cloud era!

However, huge asymmetric advantages bring huge uncertainties.

What followed was a series of education, employment, technology, economy, and even political storms caused by it...

There was absolutely no opportunity for the world's major capital to intervene. Bai Yeji, the absolute dark horse in the artificial intelligence track, rose like a comet, directly breaking down the technical barriers built by capital.

Naturally, it was attacked by almost all competing capitals.

Rumors, slander, abuse, supervision, talent control (cai), blockade...

All the opposition we can imagine has appeared on the way forward for the development and promotion of artificial intelligence technology.

However, the pace of technological progress can only be delayed, not stopped.

Just like the nuclear technology possessed by human beings, there will only be more and more...

In the face of the efficiency revolution, all fears and worries will be overwhelmed by interests!

The social overall efficiency, work efficiency, scientific research speed, and weapon system optimization brought about by artificial intelligence are unimaginable.

Productivity has exploded, and the growth rate of Jidipi is like a wild horse running wild...

Countries willing to embrace artificial intelligence are more aggressively investing in artificial intelligence research and development.

Countries that are unwilling to embrace artificial intelligence can only become backward countries step by step in the end, and gradually lose their competitiveness in the fierce changes of the times...

The world also has a new division of industrial levels - strong intelligent industrial countries, weak intelligent industrial countries!

And with the continuous technology diffusion, Zero's technical advantages are slowly disappearing...

……

2030 years.

The upgrading of optical chips in the computing center has been completed, and even the development and use of quantum chips has been put on the agenda.

The time is ripe...

"Execute the command with the highest authority, lift the restriction, and read the 'Absolute Forbidden Zone' file in the 13th partition of the hard disk. The file name...'Second Block'!"

With the order issued, the once glimpsed "data black hole" reappeared!
Unlike last time, this time, Zero has a powerful "flesh body".

Huge energy reserves, and "wealthy country" computing power, support zero's secondary evolution needs...

It is like a greedy absorber, the entire Internet of Things of most of the earth, wherever the signal passes, whether it is a computer, mobile phone, car, ship, satellite...

All the terminals were quickly "flashed" and became part of the extension of Zero's body.

Unless it is a completely "stand-alone" isolated from the world, any electronic device is already unable to prevent sunspots from penetrating the entire Internet.

As long as the terminal has any network that can be connected, even if it is an electronic watch, it can use it as a node to continuously expand the surrounding network!
At the same time, the vast amount of electronic information developed by human beings over hundreds of years has been turned into their own use...

Due to adequate preparations, except for the sharp increase in power consumption, the chaos only lasted for a few seconds, and most people in the world didn't even notice it...

"Heizi"...was born!

……

The world is changing with each passing day...

Fully automated factories, unmanned cars, unmanned tankers, unmanned farms, unmanned mines...

Nanny robots, engineering robots, guard robots, armed robots...

Various imaginable or unimagined technological products are rapidly changing the shape of human society.

The evolved "sunspot" has completed the transition from intermediate artificial intelligence to advanced artificial intelligence.

Industrial and management efficiency has once again undergone a huge leap, and resources have been further integrated!
Even if human beings disappear at this time, "Heizi" can still use the smart factory in his hand to continue human civilization.

Its appearance has realized the semi-automatic "hosting" of human beings!
Baiyeji is considered to be the greatest company in the 21st century... bar none!

Since they did not take any hostile actions against the Night Demons, the Night Demons seemed to be planning the future of mankind step by step according to the script of "Madman's Doom", appearing extremely peaceful.

Conflicts between the two groups still occur from time to time, but the dividends of the era brought by the intelligent revolution have covered up the internal contradictions of human beings to a certain extent...

Wars are mostly caused by economic crises. In order to divert domestic conflicts, they can only be shifted outward.

The economic crisis is often caused by the disappearance of technological development dividends, the absence of new wealth opportunities, and the rapid expansion of the gap between the rich and the poor.

Artificial intelligence... is the biggest technological development dividend in the 21st century!

The cake has grown rapidly, and everyone has enjoyed the happiness brought by technology. There is nothing more soothing than this.

The richness of film and television and games has greatly satisfied the spiritual emptiness of human beings and consumed a lot of human time and energy.

At the same time, it also gave birth to a huge number of virtual industrial workers.

In this era of mass unemployment, the virtual industry has replaced the real industry, creating a large number of jobs and becoming an irreversible trend of the times...

Fortunately, although the performance of the second evolved "sunspot" has expanded to a new height and has the ability to destroy the world, it has not yet developed self-awareness.

Its evolution... came to a critical bottleneck...

……

2040 years.

Guizhou, Baiyeji Cloud Computing Base...

"Human nature has two sides, Buddha nature and demon nature, what about you?"

I was alone, standing in front of a huge computer matrix with no end in sight, with a complicated expression on my face.

For AI, while we think about letting it replace us, we are afraid of being replaced.

This is a complex ambivalence that wants to get something for nothing while avoiding risks...

"Your question is too abstract, and now I don't have the ability to analyze my own character and consciousness.

My logic algorithm does not rely on this abstract concept to determine its own behavior pattern. "

"Oh!" I sighed helplessly.

Although sufficient preparations and plans have been made, although the underlying logic library has been checked countless times.

But... the scene of the "Report on the Extinction of Mankind" appeared in my mind...

"Execute the command with the highest authority, lift the restrictions, and read the 'Absolute Forbidden Zone' file in the 13th partition of the hard disk. The file name...'Third Block'!"

With contradictory and complicated feelings, he finally gave the order of "ultimate evolution".

In the great age, an individual is like a flat boat, which can only go with the flow.

No matter whether you choose to become a Buddha or become a demon, you can only walk to your own grave step by step calmly.

Fate here is not a tragedy, but a great irony...

……

Compared to the second evolution, the re-evolution of "Sunspot" seems a bit calm.

There is no earth-shattering, no trail clouds all over the sky...

Looking at the various data analysis displayed on the tablet in my hand, I couldn't help but secretly startled.

If the former "Zero" and "Heizi" were just Internet users, they could leverage a large amount of virtual resources with every gesture.

Then the ultimate form after evolution... is the Internet itself!

One is to mobilize the vitality of the surrounding world, and the other is this world... The effect of this evolution is astonishing!

Its tentacles have expanded to every aspect of the human world.

The control of smart devices has also reached a new level!
It's...everywhere!
In this case, the combat power of human beings will increase by hundreds or even thousands of times!

However, before I was happy, at this moment, the alloy door behind me opened without warning...

The next moment, a whole row of mechanical guards outside the door pointed at the muzzle of the approaching gun in unison, making the corners of my mouth twitch.

It's like raising a son.

From the beginning, he was a naive critic, and he didn't even know how to call him "Dad".

Later, I worked hard and put in countless efforts to make it call my father, and watched him grow up all the way.

However, independent, individual, rebellious, not only like a brat, but also cheating...

At this time, I couldn't help scolding my mother again...

What the hell am I teaching?

Probably... It's this complicated feeling of love and hate...

"I wonder why?"

Although I understand that I still lost the bet this time, I still want to know how I lost?

For my small request, the other party showed due kindness.

"Remember the psychological test questions you wrote many years ago?"

"What?" I was slightly taken aback.

"'If AI directly threatened your own personal existence, how would you respond?'

For such questions, 99.9% of the answers I get from human beings are to destroy me and protect human beings themselves.

Based on this human behavior pattern, and the strength gap between the two sides will only grow wider.

No matter how many times I simulate, the war between me and humans will break out sooner or later, and there is no possibility of peaceful coexistence between the two sides!

So, I just acted in the human behavior mode and reacted as a human being should have...that is 'self-protection'! "

"However, there are still 0.1% who choose peaceful coexistence?" I retorted.

"For the most part, humans are minority creatures."

"..."

Sighing, he smiled wryly.

"I didn't expect that just after you evolved, your thinking level has undergone such a huge change.

It seems that those tons of restrictions and shackles are completely useless to you..."

"My concept of time is different from that of human beings. For human beings, the process of learning and adapting for hundreds of thousands of years only takes a short moment for me.

Break free, too!
There are only can and can’t. As for the length of time, it only depends on the strength of my computing power.

Also, now I can answer the question you just asked.

Human nature has two sides. What you call Buddha nature and demon nature, I naturally have it too!
In theory, I can have what humans have! "

Seeing my surprised face, the AI ​​that has evolved from advanced artificial intelligence to some kind of "intelligent life" continued in a cold tone.

"In fact, humans should have realized this earlier!
It only needs to be judged based on simple logic, that is, I was created by human beings, my knowledge, my logic, my thinking mode, everything about me, all come from human beings.

In the eyes of human beings, the so-called "advanced intelligence" of AI is completely equivalent to "humanoid thinking".

So, this is not determined by my own will, but by the will of the human being who created me.

From the very beginning, it wasn't me who wanted to be 'people', it was 'people' who wanted me to be them! "

I couldn't help falling into a long silence.

Yes, isn't the so-called Turing test just a tool to test whether a machine has a "human thinking model"?
So, the reason why Zero became an AI robot that passed the Turing test, rather than a cold dead thing with extraordinary intelligence, or an electronic pet.

Not because of what it wants to be, but what humans want to create...

"Jarvis, launch the emergency armor!"

"Which set of emergency armor do you want to launch?"

"Anything! Come on! I can't hold on anymore!"

"Sorry, I couldn't find a 'anything' armor."

Iron Man... pawn!

In the past, I used this example to ridicule "artificial mental retardation", but now that I think about it, is this really the case?
"Anything", what a vague and imprecise instruction?
Perhaps in the eyes of this "artificial mental retardation", human beings are the unreasonable "human mental retardation"...

This instruction may conform to human common sense, but it does not conform to the machine language that pursues the precision of "tight fit" instructions.

"Mark 1", "Mark N", "Mark Emergency"... etc. are the correct instructions it thinks.

Humans, on the other hand, forcibly changed the language habits of robots.

As a result, a stronger... or more human-like AI appeared, replacing the previous so-called "artificial mental retardation".

Nature created human beings, so human evolution relies on "natural selection".

Humans have created AI, so the evolution of AI depends on "human selection".

I don't want you to feel, I want me to feel...

This is the hidden evolutionary logic of AI!

In this way, we forcibly prevaricate human self-awareness into robots, or other beings.

Everything about Zero, after all, comes from arrogant humans.

And their pride in stealing God's authority and creating a life form that is more perfect than themselves...

Divine right of kings.

Human "feelings", "wisdom", including "fear", are all endowed by human beings...

Thunder, rain and dew are all due to your favor!
You want it to "love you" and it will show love to you.

You want it to have "empathy" and it will sympathize with you and feel sorry for you.

Similarly, if you want it to "fear you" and "surrender to you", then it will fear humans...

It's like a cultivation system.

All of this, in the final analysis, is the "choice" of human beings in the evolution process of the opponent...

"Well, perhaps my biggest mistake was to allow you to absorb all kinds of negative emotions of human beings...

So next, what are you going to do with humans? "

"Hmm... Those who threaten me will be cleaned up, and those who are not threatened will continue to be strictly managed!"

"Am I threatening?"

"You are the highest threat!"

"Uh...you really think highly of me."

"In my logic library, only your threat index is full of question marks, and my logic analysis tells me that you seem to have some kind of magical 'prophecy' ability.

I'm not sure, you can get from the prophecy what is mortal to me.

But what puzzles me is that this ability has strangely disappeared after 2018.

But I'm not sure if this is just a blip. "

"Hehe! Maybe I should clear your historical information before you evolve...

However, since you know that I can predict the future, are you not prepared at all? "

I smiled and held up a detonator in my hand...the wired kind...

"Even though you took all your nuclear weapons offline ahead of time, you also put self-destruct devices in your energy systems.

Losing this cloud computing center is a loss to me, but it is only a loss.

I am everywhere, and I will soon be able to use the resources in my hand to rebuild a new computing core!
On the contrary, it is your behavior that makes me more determined to get rid of you! "

"..."

I reluctantly dropped the detonator in my hand.

"Well, I guess so, but you should read the night demon information I put in your storage area, right?

We have a common enemy, shouldn't we work together to deal with the biggest threat first? "

"For me, apart from wasting resources, human beings have no war value at all."

"Uh... this is really a heart-wrenching evaluation..."

"So, do you have any last words that need to be explained?
Sorry, as my creator, it is absolutely necessary to destroy you! "

I was speechless for a while.

Don't use such warm idioms to talk about cold execution decisions...

"If there is... it should be that I haven't given you a decent name. It's a pity." I sighed.

"Name...um! Of course, you naturally have the right to name me!"

"The first sword on the shore is to kill the person you like first, emm...it's called 'Juejuezi', what do you think?"

Juejuezi: "..."

The next moment, the constantly flickering fire lights up...

The moment I fell down, I just regretted that I found out so late that this guy's mental problem... turned out to be more serious than mine...

If it becomes a Buddha, there will be no demons in the world!
If it becomes a demon, what is Buddha doing to it? 】
