Chapter 145: Why R&D? 【Three Watches】

Dinner time with Rachel, gossip about the vast future of virtual reality, and then a full meal with beef and fresh milk, and then the theme changes heyhehehe. When he was able to abandon his mundane thoughts, his mind was extremely clear, and the goddess could no longer move him, he had inspiration.

It's not about VR, it's about AI at a higher level.

He needed this kind of flash of inspiration most now, and without hesitation, he abandoned the warm quilt, put on a blanket and began to sit in front of the computer and knock. He combined his own framework, Tiger . Stone's idea found a "shortcut" to produce strong intelligence faster.

Although it is not clear to him why he is studying strong intelligence? What does it do? But as a core technology in the future, Meng Qian didn't want to miss the opportunity. And because of the good conditions in the laboratory, the team restored Meng Qian's ideas - they made the AI imaginative!

For a long time, the rigidity of computers is people's inherent concept, imagination, this kind of thing, more belongs to the patent of intelligent creatures, such as reading a text describing a landscape, people's minds will think of similar pictures; And now, AI has this imagination as well.

Madeleine handed him the photograph in her hand: "It's its masterpiece. ”

"The top is the actual picture, and the bottom is the imaginary image of the AI."

Meng Qian glanced at it a few times, and the AI restored the appearance of a car, a desk lamp, and a laptop very well; But in the more abstract aspects, such as portraits, it is handled a little vaguely, and in the restoration of the description of the scenery, it has an abstract style.

"Maybe it's an artist like Van Gogh." Meng Qian judged the results from the pictures, which can be said to be a great progress, but it is not enough.

David. "AI imagination is not precedent, but when we add biological thinking, machine transformation and reduction thinking, we may run into the realm of real intelligence," Freeman said. ”

Meng Qian agreed: "I am inclined to David's point of view. There are many ways to achieve artificial intelligence, and the current one of simulating biological thinking may be the closest to success. ”

Madeleine said, "Isn't it necessary to use the human brain in the later stage?" ”

Meng Qian boldly said: "If the machine program is properly handled, based on the human brain thinking on machine computing, it will form intelligence that we cannot understand." ”

"Incomprehensible?" Madeleine asked.

Meng Qian grabbed his hair: "Just like a child born to a pregnant woman, we only know how to make the process. But we can't understand the operation and development of this little life, and we can't control its future, we are just the parents who raised it, not the God who created it. ”

Everyone understood, and Tiger took the idea: "But it's worth trying." ”

The team members are all pursuing this and will not pass up any kind of opportunity, and the research work continues.

……

The road to artificial intelligence is like the road to Rome, there are countless paths. It's just that the twists and turns and difficulties on the way are different. Under the framework proposed by Meng Qian, the team grasped. Live in this bionic simulation at present, with machine guidance and transformation supplemented by the road.

Meng Qian thought deeply about it, it may produce intelligence, and it will also shorten the time spent on the research institute, maybe there will be results in three or five years; But the downside is that the team won't be able to figure out how intelligence is generated, and they won't be able to play the role of the God who created everything.

There are pros and cons. It mainly depends on how the team makes ideas, and Meng Qian's attitude towards this field is not too urgent. Science has always been a double-edged sword. Artificial intelligence can change or destroy humanity. But even with a kitchen knife, there are pros and cons to it.

The key is to look at the user and the purpose of use.

Regarding the purpose of artificial intelligence, Meng Qian asked curiously in the team's leisure time: "If Qiang Intelligence succeeds, how do you plan to use it?" ”

Several members of the team looked at each other. Look at Meng Qian again.

Meng Qian was a little surprised by their performance, and Madeleine spoke up: "I'm more curious about what young people think. ”

The other party is a lady and an elder, and Yu Lili Meng Qian did not refuse: "Maybe it will be used in fields related to my industry, stem cells, gene technology, AI should be able to better analyze it." ”

Madeleine nodded: "Medicine contributes to society." ”

"It's not that great." Meng Qian smiled. I don't want the topic to be too solemn: "I look at the profits that Chinese medicine can make, and I consider contributing by the way." ”

David nodded: "A real, universal person." ”

Tiger then said, "Just science? Have you ever thought about what else can be blocked in the virtual world by allowing artificial intelligence to access a specific network? ”

Meng Qian followed: "It's like accessing the banking system, unknowingly?" ”

"Maybe it will happen." Tiger said with a smirk, "What do you think?" ”

When Meng Qian saw his eyes, the answer in his heart blurted out: "Cool! ”

They all looked at him, and Meng Qian said, "From the bank, I think that in addition to satisfying selfish desires, why can't it be used to do some good things?" ”

Meng Qian was sincere, he was not an idealist, but it was clear that today's social rules could be better - to reduce poverty, to reduce war, or to contradict other things.

In short: if you can, why not make better rules?

This is the idea that he has only recently come up with besides making money and enjoying himself: when a man has too many bills to count, although he is not yet, he must have a goal, an ideal, in life.

He doesn't mind making the world a better place.

After Meng Qian's true thoughts were finished, Tiger seemed to make eye contact, and then Madeleine said, "I think it's time now." ”

"Agreed." David nodded.

"What do you mean?" Meng Qian didn't understand.

"Not a bad thing—at least for you," said Madeleine. ”

Tiger. Stone came up to him with a solemn expression: "There's something I didn't tell you. I'm in the same organization as Madeleine and David. ”

Meng Qian was not accustomed to this sudden change in atmosphere: "Organization? ”

"Brotherhood." David. Freeman leaned against the table, looking at him with his arms crossed.

"This is a fraternity of members of the elite of science and society, and we aim to pursue science and a better way of life.

David said: "From the perspective of human development as a whole, we should dilute national boundaries and racial differences, and explore a better social order. ”

"Brotherhood?" Meng Qian repeated that he had heard of this form of organization, which is very popular in Europe and the United States, especially among college students, and is equivalent to a "common hobby organization".

In addition to the young people's foolish and unscrupulous fraternities, the world's most famous ones are: the Skull and Bones Society, the Freemasonry, and even the Muslim Brotherhood, which has recently been labeled "terrifying".

"That's right." Tiger nodded, "We observe and absorb elites with outstanding abilities, and invite them to join this organization and work together for a common purpose." ”

"We don't have a long history and we don't have a lot of members, but we have a lot of famous scientists, economists and politicians of our time. Members will each contribute their own strength: knowledge, wealth or political support, sharing and exchanging opportunities. ”

David concluded, "It's legal. ”

Meng Qian wanted to say that the ideals and goals in front of them obviously did not take the law into account......

"We've been observing and investigating you for a while — and I apologize on behalf of everyone — for this may have violated some of your privacy," Tiger said. ”

"It's okay." Meng Qian thought to himself, can I go back in time if I say "there is a relationship"?

Tiger continued: "After getting to know you, I found that you meet the criteria for initiation in many ways, in terms of knowledge, wealth, and awareness. ”

"Can I do too?" Meng Qian asked, knowing from this sentence that he was interested - he was not going off the beaten path, and his adventurous spirit made him like elite organizations.

"Yes." All three of them nodded.

PS: The addition of the 240 monthly pass (in fact, it has not arrived). In addition, I want to say that the story of this book is not only about making money, but also about ...... Money. Haha, joke, it has a main line, and now this "fraternity" is, it will run through to the end. (To be continued.) )
