Chapter 100: Opportunity Lies Ahead

On the player's side, for example, looking at the map is shrouded in the fog of war. But on the computer side, it's all open.

For example, resources need to be collected on the player's side, and resources will be automatically added to the computer's side.

From the perspective of players in this era, computer players are a kind of weak chicken, a kind of guy who can't win by cheating.

Takahashi knew that computers in the future would be so powerful that they would destroy human self-confidence.

A computer like an Alpha Dog, basically, as long as it is tuned accordingly, no one will be able to continue to defeat it in the field it touches.

For people, there may be more possibilities for a game, and it is impossible to take care of it, and you can only rely on habit and intuition to make choices.

But this is not the case for computers, first of all, the speed and amount of data they calculate are countless times that of people. Secondly, they can refine the whole game into one point after another according to the amount of data.

For example, in the game StarCraft, how many choices do you face throughout the game?

Ten thousand?

Twenty thousand?

Thirty thousand?

The vast majority of players don't even realize they're making a choice when they make a choice, but in the case of artificial intelligence that uses neural networks to learn, they can quickly quantify each choice and calculate their own win rate based on the difference in each choice.

What's even more terrifying is that they can quickly improve themselves through themselves and their own practice.

Two computer players, even if they are rookies, but they train at the speed of light, and in the process of sparring, they don't need to know why they will lose if they choose this way, as long as they know that they will lose if they choose this way, and they don't choose again.

This type of workout is much longer than the efficiency and time of human athletes.

You know, the reaction time of people is calculated by seconds, and the same is true of the time spent thinking, and the time of judgment by computers is measured at the speed of light.

The computer is like the protagonist in various martial arts fantasy, and has a secret realm where you can quickly improve your strength.

At that point, it is not necessary to add permissions to the computer so that they can fight the players, but to control their strength and not let them actually hammer the players into tomatoes.

Thinking of this, Takahashi made a decision, he intended to work on the research and development of artificial neural network robots.

In fact, this concept has been around since the last century, but due to hardware technology problems, it has only been tried theoretically.

In order to add a computer to the game that can play back and forth with players, and make players feel that their intelligence is respected, Takahashi needs to use technology as a cover.

Speaking of which, this is also a suspicion of killing chickens with cattle slaughtering knives.

But what's the point of a technology, no matter how promising it is, if you can't find a use case that you can enter right away?

In a modern capitalist society, all that matters is whether the input will yield the output.

The development of science and technology is only because advanced technology can bring more profits.

If science and technology are more advanced, profits will drop sharply, and the capitalists who promote the development of science and technology will limit the development of science and technology.

They have never been just, they have not even been conscious of being a person, they are just the embodiment of capital, just the spokesperson of capital.

If they have humanity, they will soon be abandoned by capital.

When it comes to the application of robots, there are actually many application scenarios.

For example, since a few years ago, people began to use computers to do high-frequency trading of stories.

The so-called high-frequency trading, as the name suggests, is to use a high frequency, constantly buy and sell, directly connect with the system, and use the time that others have not yet reacted to make profits.

However, this method of earning profits did not take long to be banned.

The authorities claim that this creates unfair competition, but no one knows what the actual reason is. Even if you know it, it's a conspiracy theory

However, computer stock speculation has also begun to enter the stock field.

The use of computer quotations has become a new trend, and the quotation clerks who originally gathered in the stock exchange were unemployed by computers almost instantly.

And this is just a microcosm of computer intrusion into all walks of life.

A lot of repetitive work that can be done by a computer.

To put it mildly, a large number of manpower has been liberated, and to put it mildly, the number of unemployed people is becoming more and more.

However, the capitalists did not care about the unemployed, they embraced computer technology.

Because computers cost less, they bring them more profits.

They are not unaware of the fact that a large number of unemployed people will cause a lack of spending power.

But they didn't care at all.

For, even if one of them himself made sure that he did not dismiss the workers, would the other capitalists not be dismissed?

At that time, the factory that uses the computer will have lower costs and higher efficiency, and it will be more convenient to fight a price war with yourself. In this way, it is not self-defeating to keep the workers.

The rapid development of the entire computer industry is precisely because the computer industry is extremely expansive.

It seems that anything related to industrialization can be better functioned with computers.

As a result, the computer industry is booming, but other industries, while productivity is increasing, there are fewer and fewer workers.

Gradually, the whole society began to be in turmoil.

What about work, where does work go?

Snatched away by a computer?

What about the money? What about the wages?

It's all earned by people in the computer industry.

Those poor workers are like the textile workers who faced the loom in the first place.

They began to resist the progress of the productive forces, trying to reverse the wheel, trying to find a glimmer of life for themselves.

However, how is this possible?

As a result, it has become increasingly difficult to maintain one's standard of living.

The original middle class has slipped in large numbers, and it can't afford to go out to play, and it seems that only playing video games can kill time.

On the contrary, the video game industry has ushered in a wave of growth.

Major ball games are also becoming more and more popular.

At a time when the dot-com bubble burst, video games bucked the trend.

Whether Wanhu can find his own opportunities on such a day also depends on Wanhu himself.

In the future, wealth will inevitably be concentrated in large quantities, and who is the last strong person who gathers almost all the wealth depends on how to face the opportunities in front of him.
