Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

Different groups have different reactions to the gradual improvement of the Internet development in the United States.

The largest group is the gold digger, who only cares about how to earn wealth from it; while those who are only a few, but are politically sensitive like the sparkling diamonds scattered on the huge mountain, are working with the state apparatus. , Perhaps including monopolistic enterprises, which are engaged in various forms of games. The focus of maintenance is freedom.

This thing can't be eaten or drunk, it's a bit illusory - all living beings don't necessarily care.

On the other hand, for it, eating and drinking too much, running diarrhea; lack of weight, but also yellow and thin-where is the true "degree", it is estimated that no one can accurately grasp.

Such assiduously politically sensitive people are not doing nothing when they are full, or they are unreasonably worried.

You know, while the Internet brings countless new elements, it is also forming an invisible shackle.

To give a simple and vivid example, in the era of big data ten years later, if people accidentally lose their smartphones, the most convenient Internet terminal, they will definitely feel that they are not heartache and property loss. At a loss.

Some things are just lack of level, lack of vision, and ignorance and fearlessness.

Tang Huan would not naively think that there is no "Prism Gate" now, and he is not within the scope of prying eyes.

Peer-to-peer networks such as p2p are designed to consolidate the freedom of the Internet and block the trend of centralization. The new applications launched on the p2p architecture are expanding like a virus, which explains how it is. popular.

It can be said that, at least next, when the richest man issues instructions to his subordinates distributed all over the world, communication security will be further guaranteed.

Of course. These layouts in order to protect everything that he has now are all done in a calm manner-moving with the trend, that is the Tang's richest man has always been good at.

As for the upsurge of p2p on the Internet, Tang Huan was very frank when answering questions from reporters.

For Bitcoin, for example, he preached: "This kind of electronic currency is almost developed rapidly along with p2p. The biggest use now is to provide an interesting and sufficiently secure means of online payment; no matter how big it is, I haven't seen it yet."

The views of the richest man. Similar to the analysis of observers. This makes reporters who are interested in taking the opportunity to speculate, inevitably disappointed in their hearts.

Fortunately, Tang Huan's public appearance this time is still something to dig.

Just as the "Road to the Future" was launched at the end of the new year and New Year holidays last year, in 1996, the richest man published another book, and he also published two books in one breath-"Digital Neural Network" and "Hacker empire".

Among them, the former is a serious academic work, and the latter is a popular science fiction novel.

The main content of "Digital Neural Network" is how individuals, companies, and even society can construct a digital neural network that operates as precisely and efficiently as the human nervous system when the Internet is ubiquitous.

In "Digital Neural Network", Tang Huan officially talked about the social experiment he did in Hanukh City, Funan Special Economic Zone, driven by high technology.

In the history of the United States, there has always been no shortage of billionaires who invested in certain places to realize their utopian dreams.

Therefore, this move is not shocking, people are interested in something else.

For a long time, the richest man has interacted with American politics as a Silicon Valley business leader, so that his inclinations, support, etc. are all based on the IT industry, and then analyzed by outsiders that there is no fixed political ~ governance. system.

Now, the just-published "Digital Neural Network" has soon been regarded as a formal expression of Tang Huanzheng's ambition to govern.

Don't forget, this year, 1996, is the year of the four-year US general election-topics related to politics and governance have begun to become popular again.

Regarding the interpretation of "Digital Neural Network", there are political and political perspectives and commercial perspectives. It can be said that there are a thousand Hamlet in the hearts of a thousand people.

If you want to cite the most representative example, it would be Rose Perot, who appeared as a dark horse in the 1992 US general election.

This Texas billionaire, who has successfully nugged money from the IT industry, was not less likely to grab the votes of the old Boten who was trying to seek re-election as president.

His various propositions, including the realization of direct democracy through the "Electronic City Hall" throughout the United States, have left a deep impression on people, so that they are described by the media as "East Texas populism." And high-tech witchcraft.

Now, Rose Perot is once again participating in the US election.

Different from the last time, Ross Perot, who learned the lessons from experience, began to realize the irreplaceable role of the organization in the political arena, so last year, in 1995, the United States of America Reform Party was established.

In other words, in the 1992 US presidential election, Rose Perot, who won a record 18.9% of the votes as an independent candidate, will participate in the competition this year as a candidate for the President of the Reform Party.

Correspondingly, this old man's political and governance program has further matured.

When the book "Digital Neural Networks" entered Rose Perot's field of vision, he immediately slapped his thigh with feeling-it was so good! Why did I create the Reform Party and participate in the US presidential election? It is because the Americans are disappointed with the current corrupt governance game and cannot deal with major issues related to the vital interests of the lower public. And I give voters who are dissatisfied with the main party and the Republican party a kind of third candidate. Of choice.

It can be said that if it were not for the richest man in Tang who did not meet the conditions, Ross Perrault would like to recruit people to join the group and compete for the throne of the president and vice president of the United States together.

You know, the general trend now is that although the US economic situation is very good and the income of many people has increased significantly, the negative impact of political disputes cannot be ignored.

The Republican Party and the Democratic Party have fought so hard that Bill Clinton and his wife, who belonged to the focal points, and the handles like the Whitewater case were pinched by others, so much so that Hillary Colin The dignified first lady of the United States will soon come to the Senate Committee of Inquiry on January 26 to testify in front of the federal grand jury, and become the only first American summoned so far. lady.

According to the current political struggle situation of sparks hitting the earth, as in the original time and space, the Congress controlled by the Republican Party is stuck with the budget bill not passing, forcing the Federal Government of the Democratic Party to suspend the government. There is no suspense.

This kind of political dispute that has become "fighting for the sake of fighting" wastes a lot of resources and also delays the resolution of many major issues. Of course, there will be groups of taxpayers who are very dissatisfied.

Ross Perrault is optimistic about this opportunity and once again rolls up his sleeves and puts on the battle himself, and Tang Shoufu's "Digital Neural Network", at exactly this time, gave him theoretical inspiration.

In order to find further inspiration, Rose Perot, a billionaire, has arranged a trip to accurately visit the remote Hanuk city of Funan Special District for personal inspection.

Compared with the political and governance aspects, the impact of "Digital Neural Network" in the business field is far-reaching.

It is incomparable with established multinational companies such as General Electric, ibm, Motorola, etc. Tang Huan’s philosopher and Fangyuan are still very young, but they are not immature in terms of organization and management. They are orderly and efficient. People are amazed-now that "Digital Neural Network" is published, the outside world seems to have found a successful answer from it.

There has been a gossip from Silicon Valley, and Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, who is tit-for-tat against Tang Huan, is holding "Digital Neural Network", has a good meal and carefully studied it, and in the internal high-level meeting, give everyone The individual distributed a copy.

At that time, he was very annoyed and reprimanded: "Oracle has operations in more than 100 regions around the world, but how many employees are there in the world? I don't know! Because that batch of data is all scattered in 70 databases-oracle must be adjusted. Let the company operate as simple and efficient as a neural network."

In this regard, Oracle naturally strongly denies that it is actually too boring, and even pushes it to commercial competitors altogether, believing that the statement is a deliberate smear.

Sybase, who was extremely jealous when fighting against oracle in the field of multi-platform database, was not afraid to pull hatred at all, and said with cynicism-too hypocritical! If you can't even be honest, how can you be worthy of the trust of users? We confessed frankly that we were watching Tang's "Digital Neural Network" so that we could find a successful experience suitable for us.

Compared with the magnificent influence of the academic work "Digital Neural Network" in the fields of politics, governance and business, the science fiction novel "The Matrix" also caused a huge sensation.

First of all, the background setting of "The Matrix" is very interesting. It is based on the American philosopher, mathematician and computer scientist Hilary Putnam in "reason, truth, and history"-"reason, truth and history". "Brain_in_a_vat"-the thought experiment of "brain in a tank" proposed in the book "History".

Compared with the common sense concept of "brain in the skull", the foundation of "brain in the tank" is that everything a person experiences must be transformed into neural signals in the brain.

Suppose a lunatic scientist, machine or any other consciousness takes a brain out of the human body and puts it in a tank filled with nutrient solution to maintain its physiological activity.

Next, the supercomputer transmits various neuroelectric signals exactly the same as the original "brain in the skull" to this "brain in the tank" through the nerve endings, and gives the "brain in the tank" the signals sent by the "brain in the tank". "Zhongzhibao" usually gives exactly the same signal feedback.

In this way, the world experienced by the "brain in the tank" is a kind of virtual reality made by computers.

So, in this case, can the "brain in the tank" realize that he is actually living in virtual reality?

May wish to make a simple argument from the perspective of "what is real"-because the "brain in the tank" and the "brain in the skull" receive exactly the same signals, and this is the only way it communicates with the environment, so from the brain From the point of view, it is completely unable to determine whether it is the "brain in the skull" or the "brain in the tank".

If it is the former, then its thinking is correct, and it is indeed walking on the street or boating; if it is the latter, its thinking is wrong, it is not walking or boating, it just receives the same electrical signal That's it.

Therefore, a brain cannot know that it is the "brain in the tank" and the "brain in the skull".

Then, the paradox follows-everything in this world may be false and false; but what is true? What is self?

If you only confine your thinking to the brain, it is estimated that this problem will always be an endless loop.

From a biological point of view, the individual's cognition or discrimination of objective existence ~www.readwn.com~ depends on the external stimuli it receives.

When the "brain in the tank" generates a series of "testing" responses to detect self-cognition, and the "experimental system" can also respond to the question of "what is real" in a timely manner. The entanglement does not depend on the "brain in the tank"'s cognition of the "world", but the "experimental observer"'s own cognition of the "world".

"The Matrix" is under the background of the Internet boom, which regards "cyberspace" as the "cylinder" of the "brain in a tank", and a computer engineer who is ostensibly a nine-to-five computer engineer, privately He is the protagonist of a smart hacker. Through contact with a group of mysterious characters, he understands that the world he knows is actually a virtual world created by computer programs. Then he finds a way to return to the real world and try to defeat the real murderer who enslaves human consciousness. .

Unlike the "Digital Neural Network", which is highly praised by the elites, after the publication of "The Matrix", it has risen to the top of the "New York Times" bestseller list - this is already Tang Huan's third book. Popular books with good sales.

People feel the enthusiasm of the Internet and talk about their brains. They also analyze the political ~ governance ambitions from "Digital Neural Network", and analyze that the richest man is shown in "The Matrix". Religious beliefs that came out.

It is not difficult to imagine that the hugely popular "The Matrix", in the eyes of Hollywood, has great value for further operation, and then the rumors of filming are rampant.

When attending the new book event, Tang Huan was asked by reporters, "Tang, when was "The Matrix" made into a movie? Do you give it to your own film company to operate, or will you cooperate with other film companies? ?"
