Chapter 18 Skynet's Quest for Knowledge

"Many people believe that Tsukishima's independence is almost entirely due to the Templars, which is a ridiculous conclusion. No matter how powerful the mechs and knights of the Templars were, they were only mortals after all, and even if they were desecrators with super abilities at that time, it would be difficult to stop the iron hooves of many countries from stepping in. Really let Tsukishima enter the independent Zhengtian net. ”

Xia Ran took the lead in speaking a large opening sentence, Hugo had a discussion with Hitomi about Skynet before, and the situation was relatively better, while Akita, who had no contact with it before, was completely confused.

"The time when Skynet was formed is unknown, but it is known that the age of its existence is no longer than the time period when Moon Island was born, and it may exist longer than the time of Moon Island. ”

"The prototype system of Skynet was formed in the early stage of the construction of Moon Island, but the construction of Moon Island was not funded by various countries to create a new continent, but only to solve the problem of the chaos of the war at that time, and never to accommodate the refugees and children born in the war on a new continent. From a relatively bright humanitarian point of view, Tsukishima was born out of charity, a place for those who had been ravaged by war. From a dark political point of view, the establishment of Tsukishima is more like a garbage dump, which puts together the 'garbage' that various countries do not want to put together, and disposes of it in a unified manner. ”

Akita frowned and said, "Your idea is too negative and dark." ”

Xia Ran pointed to the invisible sky in the cabin and said: "Every day of the world is composed of light and darkness, and the same is true of everything. ”

Akita pursed his lips disapprovingly, and motioned for Natsuran to continue.

Xia Ran said: "And when the design and establishment of the East Island of the first area of Tsukishima, the prototype of the Skynet system appeared, and its role at that time was not an omniscient and all-powerful intelligent network, but a semi-intelligent planning software, to put it bluntly, it was just to record and sort out the construction plan at that time, and record people's work like a sticky note, and properly plan these projects." ”

However, because of its high efficiency, it attracted people's attention and affection, so it was developed at a deeper level. ”

"At that time, the artificial intelligence technology was quite mature, and people updated his core code and running engine, so that it became an independent construction system that can be fully intelligent and automated, that is to say, after the human established plan, the system can operate all the automation projects under the group, because the technology of land reclamation at that time tends to be completely modular, so the overall operation is not very difficult. As a result, the system has improved people's work efficiency by nearly 177%, saving a lot of material and labor costs. ”

"Sounds like a good result. Akita interjected again.

Xia Ran said: "For a long time, this is indeed the case, because human beings have tasted the sweetness of the system, and they have begun to spare no effort to carry out deeper development and research on the system, trying to further improve people's lives." ”

"After the establishment of the first district, a large number of refugees began to pour in, and although the Tsukijima Committee made very detailed rules at that time, after all, this is not a state institution with a legal system, and many things have happened. ”

"And there are also some people with bad intentions, using their own national laws and regulations, ethnic customs to conflict with others, and profit from it, such things are really common. ”

Akita said, "I haven't seen any of these things in a history book. ”

For Akita's complaints, Xia Ran just smiled.

In order to further eliminate these shortcomings and make up for the loopholes, people began to improve the system that once created great miracles, and its function is no longer a single construction function, but also begins to involve people's clothing, food, housing, transportation, medical care, learning, etc., and even entertainment, social interaction, in short, it has formed an almost comprehensive system coverage. ”

Speaking of which, Hugo and Akita didn't seem to realize the danger involved, so they had to smile bitterly at this summer dye, and sure enough, they were like mountains across the line.

Xia Ran said: "Before that, the Internet was about communication between people, and although the government and operators would manage it, people were still relatively free in general. At that time, the people of Tsukishima did not have the management of the government and operators, and it seemed that they were safer and more free than before, but in fact, a layer of net had been invisibly covered above their heads, and this layer of management between the invisible and real existence affected everyone's lives, in other words, the prototype system of Skynet was a network manager that was written into the rules. ”

Hugo and Akita began to realize the seriousness of the matter.

Xia Ran said: "But this is not the most deadly problem, the more deadly things have not yet manifested themselves at that time. ”

Hugo and Akita both subconsciously held their breath.

Xia Ran took a deep breath and said, "Study, this is the most terrifying existence of the Skynet system. ”

Akita blinked and said, "Isn't artificial intelligence already good at learning? ”

Xia Ran shook his head and said: "No, the meaning of learning and learning is not the same, in short, there are two aspects of active learning and passive learning. ”

"When human beings began to develop intelligent systems, one of the important main aspects was to play chess. ”

"In people's minds, chess is the most ancient game of human intelligence, and letting artificial intelligence learn from it can better reflect its similarity with humans. ”

"At the beginning of the 21st century, artificial intelligence has completely surpassed humans in learning the game of chess, and there are no human players who can match it in many fields such as Go and chess. ”

"But even so, this learning method is still passive learning, its powerful computing power is composed of hardware chips and software engines, and the professional knowledge required for learning is completely entered by engineers after research and analysis, so as to make it further learning, but this process is like a model of building a database and quickly retrieval. ”

Hugo said in a deep voice: "In other words, what the Skynet system has mastered is active learning?"

Xia Ran nodded, and said: "Skynet's learning ability is more like human active learning, that is to say, its learning method is not passively entered by engineers, and what drives it to learn is more like 'curiosity'. ”
