301 Reproducibility is the scariest thing
After lunch, all members of the search and rescue team held a meeting in the company's dormitory around two o'clock in the afternoon.
The task has temporarily reached a stalemate. This is a situation that has never happened in the previous few tasks-the current state, relying on their strength, obviously has no way to continue to push forward.
"The Federation has declared war on us," the search and rescue team summed up the current situation, "As long as our search and rescue ship appears in their field of vision, they will attack us, and they have also started wireless information control, prohibiting anyone to follow We are in touch ... until the situation of the war changes, there can be no change in our favor."
"How long will they fight?" To be honest, Shen Changwen couldn't understand the war between these two civilizations. He originally thought that the war between two such high-tech civilizations should be the same as the nuclear war imagined by people on earth. The eruption was rapid and violent... But judging from the time they arrived, the two sides spent more time doing nothing and sitting quietly with each other, "It looks more like the trench warfare of World War I... "
"It stands to reason that the side with the advantage of the space army should be able to quickly expand the results of the war..." Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen have the same attitude, "Even if it is the disadvantaged side... Form a fleet to directly raid the opponent's main planet. With their huge Assault ships, the firepower can be imagined, if they all carry nuclear weapons, they can blow up the entire planet several times."
"It's not that simple..." The search and rescue team reminded them of a fact, "Even our search and rescue ships cannot travel too fast in their galaxy... Do you know why?"
"Too many pieces?"
"Yes," the collection team said, "the ability of any civilization to influence the environment is huge... For a civilization like the Federation that entered the space age very early... any aircraft in an environment containing a lot of space junk Flying at high speeds is essentially suicide."
"Then what are we going to do?" Shen Changwen had an idea, "Is it possible to consider selectively helping intelligence...to open up the war situation?"
"No," the search and rescue team immediately vetoed, "We must not participate in this war. Once we participate, the last possibility of the operation's success will be gone."
"Can we still expect this federation to change its attitude towards us?"
"Very likely," the search and rescue team noticed a fact. "In fact, the federal government doesn't seem to have that much power. You should have noticed before that the opposition within them...is very, very large."
"It's just blatant."
Both Shen Changwen and Xu Yan were deeply impressed by the opponents they met during their last mission.
"If any country on earth had such a large number of opponents taking to the streets against the government, and the public use of weapons was not dealt with... that country would have collapsed and entered a state of anarchy."
"We can wait and see... In addition," the search and rescue team paused, Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen immediately realized what he was about to say, "Your data replication in their civilization... I believe it is very likely that some Unexpected effect."
"They...should have been caught long ago." Wu Xiaoqing checked the time, 72 hours had passed, and their spaceship had not received any signal.
Under normal circumstances, if their replicas are out of danger, they can always find a way to get in touch with the search and rescue ship-radio transmitters are definitely not difficult for such a civilization, and there are everywhere on the planet that can fly in the sky Car - the aircraft has its own radio, as long as one is driven out...
But the fact is that until now, the search and rescue ship has still not received any signal.
"There is another possibility, that is, they are safe for the time being, but they are just hiding," said the collection team. "There is still no new news from Yevgeny, which means that the Federation has not yet controlled them... Otherwise, the mind and body will definitely take action."
In the afternoon, a group of people came to Qinglan for consultation, Yan Yan and Chen She came to greet them, Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen both got the information in their hands - a long series of consultation meetings had been arranged in the afternoon.
Because the objects of consultation are becoming more and more discrete, almost all of them are scattered in every corner of the earth. It is not only unbearable in terms of cost, but also difficult to reconcile in terms of time, so now many Meetings were conducted via online video conferencing.This facilitated the organization and coordination of Qinglan Consulting to a certain extent, but it made it more difficult for Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen who needed to participate in the meeting.
The reason is simple, because if the meeting can be held on the Internet, it means that there is no limitation of the meeting place. ——That means that employees who do not need to be paid can participate in multiple meetings at the same time.
Now in front of Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen, each of them has participated in more than three video conferences.
Of course, the specific content will still be checked by the search and rescue team, but they still need to participate and actively listen to the content of the meeting—especially in their current state of bewilderment about the task, they urgently need to enter the discussion atmosphere of the consultation meeting, Come find some work "inspiration".
The three meetings assigned to Wu Xiaoqing are mainly divided into three topics, these topics are temporarily increased due to this temporary accident, the first one is about the possible benefits and harms of virtual personality in terms of technical ethics, the second It is about the rationality and flaws of the current political system of the Federation, and thirdly, it is a reasonable explanation of the current military situation between the Federation and the intelligence body.
The meeting started quickly and the standard language of the meeting was English as the participants came from all over the world.
Wu Xiaoqing's previous English level...was almost equal to 0, but after several months of study, he can basically understand a little bit. Coupled with the reminder of the subtitles of the search and rescue team, there is basically no big problem when participating in the meeting normally .
Of course, if Wu Xiaoqing needs to speak in the middle, it still cannot be done directly - the formation of language expression ability requires a language environment, and obviously Wu Xiaoqing does not have an environment suitable for practicing English ability.
Therefore, Wu Xiaoqing often typed to express his meaning.
The three meetings are displayed on Wu Xiaoqing's computer in three windows, and because of the search and rescue team, all meetings will start at the same time - this saves the most time.
"...If virtualized personalities have simulated the function of consciousness to such an extent, it can almost be said that they are human beings, another form of human beings..."
"This is different from the concept of AI. AI is that we simulate a thinking program similar to an intelligent body with computer technology. We don't need to care about its principle. In short, it can show the characteristics of intelligence..."
"Some AI program concepts that are popular on the earth now are essentially the product of evolutionary algorithms. Of course, we know that this is completely different from the mechanism of human intelligence."
"However, this kind of digitalization of consciousness, or in other words, the digitalization of personality, the product of virtualization is not the same. It should be a comprehensive imitation of our brain function-here, please note that brain function does not just mean Intelligence, intelligence itself is only part of our brain function."
"We can accept an AI to tell us the calculation result of a formula, or recognize things we are familiar with, but... if it can also enjoy movies, literature, or music like us humans, or even worse, I can imagine , if this kind of virtual personality program really exists, after he sees a piece of food, he will also have the same appetite as us humans—even if he doesn’t even have a digestive system.”
"Furthermore, if such a person lives in a virtual environment like the one in the setting, he will not be able to distinguish the real from the fake when the environment is completely simulated. This is the same as mentioned in The Matrix. The setting is the same..."
Wu Xiaoqing felt a little drowsy when he heard it. The foreigner talked for a long time about all the information, so he had to interject by typing: "Professor, the focus of this discussion should be more on the possible consequences of the virtual personality... rather than Introducing the avatar technology itself."
After listening for about ten minutes, Wu Xiaoqing finally heard something he thought was valuable:
"The biggest problem with virtual personality, in my opinion, is also a more serious and terrifying problem than AI, and that is replicability..."
"According to our previous definition of virtual personality, it can be determined that it should be a limited and autistic program in terms of data storage, just like our brain. As long as it is limited and autistic, or other reasons If something is closed, it must be technically infinitely replicable..."
"No matter how developed this civilization is, as long as it reaches the level of infinity, it will definitely not be able to bear it. Just now, many professors mentioned that such a virtual person will be afraid that he will be a replica. In my opinion, the opposite is true. For this kind of As far as the virtual personality is concerned, what he should be most afraid of is that there are no duplicates like him around."
"In my opinion, as long as there are enough samples of such virtual personalities, sooner or later there will be people who are willing to copy themselves—if they can coexist harmoniously with each other, then such a collection of virtual personalities can almost be counted as It is a social group, and even if the number continues to rise..."
"Imagine that maybe one person can become a country, a civilization."
"For a traditional, primitive society composed of multiple personalities, this new type of society composed of a single personality is like a virus that can break out at any time... it will cause great harm to the primitive society."
"Let's not talk about the possible tearing of social value, just talk about the energy consumed by these replicas—it is impossible for any limited civilization to withstand this infinite replication."
"So, as long as there is such a technology, there must be corresponding restrictions. On the contrary, once this restriction is opened, the entire civilization will be at risk of disintegrating immediately. This is the same as a world composed of computers suddenly infected with computer viruses. !"
The second topic also has a lot to gain.
"...The federal civilization in the setting is undoubtedly a super civilization that has reached a high level... No, it should be said to be an extremely developed super civilization. Your company's information is very detailed. I personally admire it. I noticed their In the language, wages, currency, benefits...these words are used to describe history..."
"Among all their speeches recorded in the data, no one, on any occasion, mentioned the concept of money. We can almost confirm the fact that currency has already been eliminated in this civilization. established social tool.”
"We all know that for a society, the biggest function of currency is to distribute social wealth. The privatization of property rights is not only an important guarantee for social order, but also a quantitative tool for social wealth, personal contribution, and even social production. If lost This kind of tool, that can only have two explanations."
"First, all of them are saints, and there is no such need. We already know from the data that this is not true. Not only are they not saints, but there are still many contradictions among the communities."
"Second, they have a distribution method that is more efficient than currency and more acceptable to everyone."
"Judging from your company's other settings, it is obvious that you are more inclined to create the second setting..."
"Then, we can further imagine that an economic system that can accurately distribute social needs and does not rely on currency will certainly not be the same as the economic system on the earth, with a little bug every few decades. Linguistic settings did not find words like economic crisis..."
"... Then, such a system can obviously accurately calculate everyone's needs and wishes."
The task has temporarily reached a stalemate. This is a situation that has never happened in the previous few tasks-the current state, relying on their strength, obviously has no way to continue to push forward.
"The Federation has declared war on us," the search and rescue team summed up the current situation, "As long as our search and rescue ship appears in their field of vision, they will attack us, and they have also started wireless information control, prohibiting anyone to follow We are in touch ... until the situation of the war changes, there can be no change in our favor."
