Chapter 769 is full of pessimistic and dark arguments

"Mr. Gu is right, the core of the inheritance of human civilization is the inheritance of knowledge and experience. Learning is endless, and everyone's life actually spends a lot of time on learning. It can also be said that the ability and efficiency of learning determine a person's achievements as a whole. ”

On the TV talk show, the guest was sighing: "Don't understand this as some kind of learning method, but understand it as a tool." What is the level of this tool? Before the advent of writing, human knowledge could only be passed on by word of mouth. After the advent of writing, human knowledge began to be recorded, accumulated, and improved more accurately. ”

"This may be a tool of the level of text!" he said, the more excited he became, "To improve the efficiency of learning, to what level?"

"When it matures, is it possible for the basic knowledge to replicate knowledge as efficiently as a computer replicates?"

"Imagine that in the current situation, the average person has to learn nearly 30 years old before he can learn in a very small field, and he no longer has knowledge that he does not know, and he can delve into new knowledge. If you can broaden the boundaries of knowledge in a small field, even if it is only a little bit, this is our Ph.D. ”

"Thirty years! What if that time were only 20 years, 10 years, or even shorter? What level of innovation efficiency would we reach for the entire human race?"

The host was a little embarrassed and felt that he was too excited.

But now he is full of emotion, and the show seems to be working very well.

Also, although Mr. Gu did not expand it, he mentioned it. He said that people's IQ can be improved. Although this result is due to learning, it ...... If there are other discoveries in the research? If this method really has a very special way of activating neurons in the human brain, so that the brain's memory mode and thinking logic can be trained and improved?"

"So, this is really a matter of improving the level of human civilization!"

"We must not be as concerned as the weak about the possibility of being exploited by evil forces. ”

"We must face it, understand it, and master it as a strong man!"

“……”

All sorts of discussions, all kinds of media.

The data from the experiment have been published on the website of the journal Aerospace Science and Technology of Flint Aerospace University.

The experiment only focused on the implementation of brain-computer interface technology, but did not conduct a large number of control analyses on the "learning ability improvement" caused by it.

Next, in front of the relevant research teams around the world, there are two topic directions.

First, the brain-computer interface technology has been further improved.

Second, can brain-computer interface technology really improve learning ability and efficiency, so that the brain can improve its ability?

Then, the team that wanted to repeat the experiment or further research on his basis found that the research threshold was indeed very high.

If nothing else, artificial intelligence that processes brain nerve signals alone is a new generation of artificial intelligence built on a quantum computing framework.

There are also sensors and processing chips for cranial nerve signal collection......

There are also robots that are suitable for conducting research in this area and are used to execute the instructions of the human brain......

People have already studied the "high-tech" action mastered by primitive people to complete the drilling wood for fire through the human brain control robot, and you are still studying the brain-computer interface to control the prosthesis, will it be too backward?

But I want to reach the current level of other people's papers based on other people's papers...... The funds are going to explode!

……

The heat for another human landing on the moon is still there, and the huge breakthrough in neuroscience has plunged the world into a discussion of frenzy and anxiety.

Brain-Computer Interface, Modified Human, Mecha, Brain in a Tank, Matrix ......

The various debates about utopian and dystopian futures have their own adherents.

"I'm here to put my words, technology may be good technology, but it depends on whether you have the resources and status to enjoy. Opportunities are never reserved for ordinary people, what are you doing to revel?"

"The times are stable and there are no major changes, so aren't ordinary people even less opportunities? Yes, if there are big changes, others have more opportunities, but ordinary people will also have more opportunities. Although it is true that it is possible to become cannon fodder in the great era, if you want to become stronger, you don't even want to fight, and you still want to complain about unfairness? Laziness and cowardice are cancer, and there may be a turnaround if you rescue them!"

"I don't think there's any need to argue. If a technology is primarily useful, it will be studied, let alone such a useful technology, and it will exist or not, and it will not change because of your discussions. Instead of talking about it here, it is better to pay more attention to its progress, study the impact it will bring, and try not to become cannon fodder first. ”

"The brain in the jar is the brain in the jar. If there is such a project, it should not be set in the unreal world with a higher difficulty than the real world, after all, it is enough to mourn now. ”

"Are you sure? It is said that the human brain is most active when it is stimulated violently. ”

"Hey, why does the development of science and technology make people feel more and more powerless and humble?"

"Gone are the days of pastoral songs! The gap between people is much bigger now than it was in ancient times. Those who still insist on the uselessness of education will wait for future generations to become bricks under other people's feet. ”

“……”

Looking at all kinds of discussions, Tang Yuanfeng sighed: "What is the intention of such a controversial and sensitive technology to be released directly to the world like this?"

Gu Song sat opposite him and said softly: "The space age is coming, and human beings are afraid to set foot in unpenetrated fields. In the face of unknown threats to the future, all human beings need to be psychologically constructed. There is no harm in such a discussion. As for announcing it...... It's not a big deal. ”

Tang Yuanfeng looked at him and asked, "Have the confidence to stay ahead?"

"That's of course absolutely confident. Gu Song smiled, "More importantly, this is the first time in more than ten years that we have announced our cutting-edge results in the most timely manner." Although we walked a little way ahead, the gap between them was not huge. In this case, it is easier for them to intuitively feel the gap. ”

"Feel the gap and join your Flint Space University's research framework?"

"The Academy of Human Sciences can do the same. Gu Song laughed with him, "After all, something like the quantum supercomputing center is not within the scope of my announcement." ”

"It seems that this is the gap in research tools that you talked about before. After Tang Yuanfeng finished speaking, he stopped talking.

Gu Song seemed to know what he was thinking, and then said, "It is indeed the real progress at present. But I'm very bullish on this technology and will continue to ensure its use in key areas. But again, it's all the more important to discuss what kind of safety standards it should establish to prevent it from going off the rails in the future. ”

"If it's just your real progress now, have you already seen the possibility of it being used to extremes in the future?" Tang Yuanfeng still asked, "Did you dream of something again?"

Gu Song shook his head and said, "Not really." I just started from the existing technical conditions and saw the problems that could arise at this stage. To be honest, its application does involve various ethical issues. What I'm demonstrating is a non-implantable brain-computer interface, but in fact there has been a group of biohackers for a long time, keen to modify their bodies with all kinds of new technologies. ”

"Biohacking?" Tang Yuanfeng hadn't heard of this concept yet.

"With the concept of hackers, they feel that the secrets of the human body can also be cracked and enhanced. Gu Song explained, "For example, some people implant magnets and microchips in their hands to do things like opening doors and unlocking electronic devices, such as injecting special preparations into their eyes to gain short-term night vision." A group of people like this is currently the most enthusiastic about implantable brain-computer interfaces. The extreme among them doesn't even mind replacing themselves with intelligent mechanical limbs in the future. ”

Tang Yuanfeng frowned when he heard this.

"This technology, before I did it, was carried out by many teams for many years. I think that if HSDA can develop a set of safety and speed standards for it, and can guide this technology in a good direction, it will be an anchor for many technologies in the future. You must know that the current mainstream interaction methods have been developing in the direction of sound, gestures, and touch. In the future, it is likely that the interaction between people and the network will be dominated by ideas, supplemented by other means. ”

"I see. Coupled with the homework done before inviting Gu Song to come, Tang Yuanfeng had a number in his heart.

Then he glanced at Gu Song deeply.

HSDA has a bias regarding the boundaries of the use of this technology, and ESG can also be biased.

Ultimately, it's up to the ability to guide.

Gu Song is confident that he will stay ahead of the curve in terms of technological advancement, so HSDA can take the initiative.

And throughout the ages, heresy outside the mainstream has been uncomfortable.

Similarly, throughout the ages, Chinese people have been conservative and cautious, moderate and polite. As for the people in the Western cultural tradition......

With the development of science and technology, experts from all walks of life have been investing in wisdom for future deduction.

As humanity's frontiers widen, it is inevitable that there will be a temporary increase in the number of extralegal areas.

After all, the environment is changing, and the rules are always lagging behind.

But the role of being in the sun, as a rule-maker and maintainer, is even more critical at all times and in all places.

As he said, Gu Song provided an anchor point.
