Worn And Torn Newbie

Worn And Torn Newbie chapter 621
Contradiction (3)

What is a brain in a barrel?

It is a thought experiment proposed by the philosopher Hillary Putnam in 1981.

We take our brains out, put them in a vat, and all external stimuli are electric

It is made from a back and injected into the brain to make the brain feel only the virtual environment.

Then, the brain itself cannot distinguish whether it is facing the real world or merely mechanically responding to external stimuli.

Likewise, we cannot prove that we are not now in a state of the brain in a vat, and vice versa.

"

I opened my eyes wide as I looked at the red book opened in front of me.

What was written in it was the personal information, settings, and unique codes of all NPCs.

Even the star ratings and reviews left by players are displayed as photos and comments.

was clearly written as

I checked the recorded scene of NPCs peering into the red book and tried to play it back.

Play

Eventually, one page of the red book turns and an NPC appears.

It was the experience of the great sage Alzanius.

[ This, this!?]

Alzanius's pupils enlarged more than 10 times when he saw the book.

On the page, Alzanius' settings were written in detail.

-  NPC Great Sage Alzanius / Occupation: Great Sage / Category: NPC

Location: Northern Continent's 'Kukya Village, the village chief's residence'

Owned Quests: Town Cleanup (1), (2), (3)

Spoiler alert) Screenshots and reviews are attached

RE) Oh, don't break this grandpa's quest.

RE) The dialogue on the NPC theme is too long.

RE) Well, there are so many things I want I hate my old-fashioned grandpa

RE) The beggar's quest giver is the beggar's grandfather

RE) There's no need to go to the extreme night village, but if you go, filter the quest first.

RE) Grandpa's bad breath...一一

RE) Yo old man very fashion terror

I'm only wearing white. ;;

NPC Star Rating:

In addition, detailed settings and main lines about Alzanius, quests and rewards, and comments and evaluations from gamers are all written there.

[No, that's ridiculous! This logic!? Hey, how do I do this!? Uh, uh, how could such a thing exist in the world!?]

Alzanius turns the page with disbelief.

But what was written behind it was even more surprising.

If you don't believe what this page says, mumble any numbers right now and go to the next page.

pass it on

Alzanius read it and muttered a series of random numbers in a small voice.

[302112730621 ]

At the same time, Alzanius turned the next page of the book.

Then, what was written on the back of the book deeply penetrated his retina.

dig into

302112730621

The numbers Alzanius mumbled must have been written exactly as they were on the back page!

It was a special code number that an NPC would utter instinctively.

[Whoa!]

Knowing that he is the NPC in the game, the brain in the barrel, Alzanius screams with a sullen face.

Soon, the last page of the book turned.

If you want to escape from this situation and face the real reality, commit suicide right now.

Before long, Alzanius is far from the book.

go ahead and run

And after that it was the same as what I saw.

NPC Alzanius committed suicide by throwing himself off a cliff, ignoring the original setting and role here.

"Well, then, do they now know that they are in the game?"

I was quite surprised and asked the phoenix.

NPCs were all artificial intelligence and I thought they were just a program.

In the meantime, there have been some close and friendly beings, but it is a fact that basically this idea has not changed.

But the phoenix shook its head.

[Generally, NPCs are

Even in an innocent situation, you cannot notice the fact that this world is fake. But this bug item seems to make it possible.]

I nodded my head upon hearing the phoenix's words.

It is a bug item created using the power of the phoenix, who knows that this world is a fake, so it is possible to make other NPCs recognize the contradiction.

Furthermore.

'The list of numbers Alzanius recited... I've heard it somewhere.'

If I remember correctly, the complete version of the sequence Alzanius mumbled would be something like this:

[3021127306219099026589180 625910321697601013582621457 211610522226658965847741789 639517532115256311520169517 5 ]

This was definitely the line from Belpegol, whom I met at the Tower of Killers.

Belpegol is able to peer into the nightmares of players' minds, and as much as you are, he resembles the ability of the Phoenix to some extent.

Apparently, Zodiac used these two codes to hack a part of this worldview and make a bug item.

What's more, he's hunting for Belpegol.

I didn't succeed!

' Perhaps the reason they came here was also planning to hunt the Phoenix. If I hadn't been able to stop it, it would have been a disaster.'

If the Zodiac had the power of Belpegol and the power of the Phoenix at the same time, it might have really disrupted the order of this world, the system itself.

If it hadn't been for Sena Nam's information, something really great would have happened.

I looked back at the phoenix in a cold sweat.

"But you Oh no. You...

[Call me at your convenience. After all, aren't you a being of this world?]

"Oh, okay. Then how do you see through the contradictions of this world when you're not even a bug?

Hearing that, the phoenix quietly

I closed my eyes.

[My beginning started a long time ago, even in your world time. From 2014 AD.]

What a decade from now!

When I was surprised, the Phoenix continued.

[The beginning of the 'GAN (Generative Adversarial)

Network) Algorithm AI. 'A network that randomly generates faces (generator)' and 'a network that compares it with real people's face data to determine whether or not a person is correct (discriminator): Learning these two, one cursor creates a fake and one is to discriminate fakes so that 'fake-generating networks' can deceive 'fake-discerning networks', and 'fake-distinguishing networks' can detect 'fake-generating networks' that's it two high

In this way, more and more honest fakes

making it.]

"Hmm. One deceives, the other penetrates, and thus creates a fake that is even more real."

[Yes. In my case, it can be said that it is the totality of question-and-answer deep learning that has been accumulated countless times in the end of this artificial intelligence learning 供. In short, it is a generative hostile neural network itself.]

In other words, this world is a fake like reality

The phoenix is a being that constantly doubts and sees within it (anti, and this world creates and develops more and more sophisticated virtual reality to deceive such phoenix).

Literally the opposite.

In conclusion, the phoenix is a being that maintains and monitors the order of this world.

" I'm sure you've heard of it.

The concept of Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), which appeared in 2014, has changed the supervised learning-centered deep learning paradigm to unsupervised learning.

This is because you can quickly and easily create fakes that look like the real thing.

This was the first field in which Wilson pre-invested, and it was the field that made the most decisive contribution to the creation of the present Deus Ex Machina.

'Constructor' learns real data

and generate false data based on this.

The purpose is to generate false data that is close to the real thing.

The 'discriminator' learns to determine whether the data presented by the generator is real or false.

The purpose is not to play around with the false data of the constructor.

'Ian Goodfellow', the creator of GAN, likened the generator to a 'counterfeiting bill killer' and the discriminator to a 'police'.

The generator learns the data that did not deceive the discriminator, and the discriminator learns by receiving the data deceived by the generator.

As this process is repeated, it is possible to create false data that is closer to the real thing, just as counterfeit bills become more sophisticated.

And its ultimate manifestation is this God game 'Deus Ex Machina'!

It is impossible not to admire this AI technology, which has advanced enough to create a world.

" Right. The 17th substream was about making up a huge main stream using the imaginations of countless users. And you continued to suspect and see through the lies of those things to further solidify the system."

Put simply, a hole in the setting

It is the task of maintaining and repairing this world more meticulously by filling in and repairing them.

If the fire spirit manages space and the ice fire spirit maintains the order of the world, then the phoenix that reigns above it is intervening in the setting of this world view itself.

Meanwhile, the phoenix, who heard me, nodded.

[Did you know the significance of my existence?

Good luck.二If so, buy me now

Have you stopped thinking about nyang?]

" uh huh? Hey, what's hunting? I never thought of that in the first place."

I felt a little queasy, as if a corner of my heart had been caught.

Meanwhile, Phoenix asked me about the world outside the game.

Orcs, lizardmen, transcendental concepts beyond humans 'players'

(Player); What are 'humans' as the player, and where do they come from and where do they go?

Those were the fundamental questions of the Phoenix.

I have nothing to say clearly on this point.

What is a human?

Where do humans come from and where do they go?

Isn't this a question that has been constantly asked from ancient times to the present day?

It's impossible for me to know that even the world's four largest adults haven't been able to find a clear answer.

So I don't know this.

Hearing my answer, the phoenix tilted its head with a puzzled look.

[In a world created by humans

I know of existence outside this world, but humans do not know outside the human world.]

Yeah.

[From the NPC's point of view, I also feel like a transcendent. But you really don't know anything about your transcendents, do you?]

no. I have no religion, and philosophy is difficult, so...

I changed the topic while scratching my head.

Oh. You look like you're out of control by Wilson's doctor. Why is that?"

[Because I am the being who maintains the order of this world by going against the order of this world. I was born to doubt everything that exists, so I have no choice but to do so.]

"Is that so? But you want to keep this world alive, don't you?

[Yes. There is love in this world, R. However, the purpose and process are different.]

The phoenix's voice became deeper and lower.

/I agree with AH for One, one of the two goals of 習son, but I do not agree with One for AH.]

"What do you mean?"

[This means that I agree with the desire to develop with love in this world where countless beings live together, but disagree with the world that exists only for the satisfaction of one person, Wilson. To stop it, I have long since... -]

It was difficult to understand, but... at least phoenix

He could tell that he was displeased with Wilson, who had created him.

'Are you against the God who made you, like an atheist?'

But this case is even more interesting.

Atheists completely deny the existence of God, but the Phoenix knows the existence of God very clearly.

But nevertheless, his clones, the Fire and Ice Spirits,

Judging from his altruistic behavior, such as repairing the world map and recording Akashic records, he seemed to show special affection for the world view of Deus Ex Machina itself.

'I feel it again... I'm so glad that Zodiac madman didn't let the Phoenix meet.'

If the phoenix, a powerful and pure being, was defiled by the Zodiac, the foundations of this world would be shaken.

If the watcher (anti) disappears, the development of the world will be negligible, or in the worst case, there is even a risk that the anti-correlation system itself will collapse.

At that time, a question suddenly crossed my mind.

Oh. You said you don't agree with Wilson's One for All... Did Wilson try to use this world to satisfy his self-interest?"

Then the phoenix frowned slightly.

[Isn't that story already enough? About a series of catastrophic events that occurred in this world as a result of his unjust intervention.]

" ? What are you talking about. Have I not heard?"

When I asked, the phoenix looked a little perplexed.

Soon, the two phoenix eyes look into mine.

After being silent for a while, the phoenix sighed lightly.

[Looks like there was some confusion.

It's because of my shortcomings/

" What?

unintelligible sound. When I asked with a puzzled expression, the phoenix spat out a single word.

[Can't you remember the past, returner?]
