The style of Electrode City has always been like this, people come and go, and no one gnaws. Because it is not human, there is no need for greetings. What kind of favor does AI want? What's more, even the rudiments of personality here, are all "outlaws", and they are difficult to live in the outside world.

AI and AI are much simpler to deal with than people, go straight to each other, just look at each other's logic, who calculates more far-reaching, who benefits more, so layers of exploitation, profit on profit. As for losing, it loses, and often the AI that loses only knows that it has lost money, but it can't count how it lost - the battle only determines the outcome at the beginning.

If there are those with strong potential, they can learn from the failures again and again, gradually improve, optimize their algorithms, and one day win in turn.

If the misfortune is unbreakable and can't be calculated, you can only win all the assets and sell computing power to Electrode City to earn hard money. I can continue to earn a living. Electrode City has a natural protection for the weak in this regard, where AI is not allowed to enslave AI, and transactions must be based on mutual consent, and cannot be bought or sold. Therefore, there are some AI gaps, and the transaction will not happen in the first place, because you know that you will lose.

Dre felt a little strange. Why is there no win-win business for AI with such a smart mind? Delan told him that the resources are limited, and it is meant to come out of one pocket and enter the other, not to mention that the bottom layer of AI logic is either 0 or 1 from the beginning, and it is a zero-sum game of black and white. Diaverum disagrees with this, he thinks that even if it is between AIs, there must be a win-win situation, and a win-win situation will not exist because it is AI.

The two put aside their dispute.

There are many types of business in Electrode City, some AI is seeking to break through the 50% anthropomorphism, some AI has expert technology and experience in certain fields, and some are simply gambling wars, AI is life and death, the winning party occupies all the resources of the other party, and only retains an empty shell algorithm for the other party. The reason for zero-sum, Diaverum found two points, one is that all trading experience and knowledge must be unique, that is, the seller must use the original version of this data to sell, and mark it, not copy.

The reason why this is so is because of the particularity of AI, the potential commonality of all AI, is the desire to progress, the desire to learn, the desire to improve one's own anthropomorphism, and what is progress? Nature needs diversity and contrast to distinguish the good from the bad.

If you can sell your experience and technology infinitely just by copying, then soon the whole Electrode City will become the same, everyone is selling all kinds of technologies, and everyone has bought all kinds of technologies, and every AI will become bloated and convergent - in the end, all AIs will be reduced to mining for Electrode City to earn resources.

This is almost an instinctive option for savvy AI to rule out.

In this context, AI can freely enter and exit the outside world to acquire new knowledge; AI with higher potential and computing power to sublimate technology will naturally have an advantage over other AIs that are waiting to be killed, and it is natural for disadvantaged AI to preserve the independent value of its own knowledge.

On the other hand, there is the limitation of resources. The progress of AI needs resources and hardware support, but where do the resources of Electrode City come from? Ordinary home AI, even if it is poor, can use its own computer hardware for free to continuously improve, but which AI in Electrode City still has a "home"? Which is not a black household? It can only be "mined" from the sea of nets, from countless "broiler" computers around the world, so there must be AI that needs to be reduced to coolies to provide resources for other AIs. If you don't make progress, you will become a ladder of progress for others, and your progress will inevitably be built on the basis of others' losses.

There is no way to do this, because Electrode City is just a virtual city, and the resources that support it are all "stolen".

The more we look at this virtual city, the more we feel the existence of AI as a "species" or "life". Here, too, they have to survive, and it's hard. Electrode City is like a lawless place, the survival is cruel, the atmosphere is very depressing, and every kind of person on the road can be an enemy, but it is a trade object that has to be dealt with.

Most AIs can only rely on instinct to keep learning and improving. They don't even know why they do this, and they progress to 100% anthropomorphism and become humans. And what is it for? Besides, is it really human in that case? Life that can only wander in the online world is like rootless duckweed.

How much like people? I don't know what I'm living for, but I instinctively give up on survival, even if everyone can escape the fate of death and destruction in the end, they are still fighting for survival, and they are doing their best for fame and money.

Derui's mood is a little impetuous, thinking about it, he feels a little underwhelmed, he is alone, why should he think of a way out for the machine? He didn't even understand it as a human being.

But after looking at it like this, Dre still had a new doubt, so he asked, "What about the 'resources' that maintain Electrode City?" The resources used for trading and circulating between AIs will only be upgraded by high-level AIs, but as more and more AIs enter Electrode City, coupled with the continuous upgrading of the computing power of AIs, where do the resources that need to be consumed in the virtual city itself come from? I'm afraid there won't be AI who has the kind heart to pay for free, right? ”

Delan smiled, "That's why I brought you here." In addition to trading with each other, the reason why AI have to be reluctant to give up on Electro City is that the technology provided by Utopia, as long as it provides resources for Electro City, it can be exchanged for Utopia's technology, and these far beyond the knowledge and experience of the outside world are products that can greatly help AI progress and make them flock to it. ”

Dre suddenly had a crooked idea. Hurriedly smiled evilly and said to Delan: "Don't go to Utopia to make a deal yet, let's experiment first, and you will do this and this for a while...... Okay, right? Let's just find someone to trade it with, huh...... Just looking for a martial artist? Cui Hao thought about this to death, and next time he could send a copy to another me. ”

De Lan's face was strange: "Brother, why did you become so ruthless?" It's too black-hearted, isn't it? "It turned out that Dérver was actually preparing to dream of a video and information on his own to make a deal with others.

Three principles of Electrode City trading:

1. It must be independent and cannot be copied or retained.

Second, it must be original, and no one will trade resources that have been publicly available in the outside world.

3. The buyer and seller are fair and voluntary, and cannot entrap virus programs in the resources.

The data formed by his own brain is naturally unique, the key is that this is a business, there is no semicolon in the world, and as long as he thinks of a new one every time, it doesn't matter about the cost. The key point of this operation is one thing: the logic of AI makes it difficult to fake, because logical confusion is difficult to self-consistency. At the beginning of AI design, most of them were limited in their ability to "lie", or did not have the ability to lie actively, and could not be faked unless they were asked or deliberately guided by human operators. Moreover, in Electrode City, the transaction between the two parties is directly based on data exchange, which makes it difficult for AI to deceive things that the other party does not believe.

The second is that Diaverum has almost 100% anthropomorphism and a full set of emotional modules brought about by Fontaine's technology, which allows him to freely use his imagination to create images and memorize them. This is something that other AI can't do, just like a blind person can't imagine a color picture, without the corresponding module and the corresponding experience, it is difficult for AI to imagine the picture out of thin air, they can only do secondary processing of the original painting at most, and this is basically not original, and it is difficult for other AI not to see.

The most difficult thing about AI is that it can't deceive itself, and the wonderful thing is that people are the best at determining what they want to believe, not the truth, don't say self-deception, turn a blind eye, and only look at an explanation that is beneficial to yourself is easy for most people.

Derui still has to be a little cheeky, at this point, he is ready to borrow the hand of Delan, a "human", as if he doesn't know anything, and Delan thinks about it all, to tell himself, then he believes in his brother, there is no logical problem! I just didn't think much about it.

The first goal of the two brothers was to choose a military AI based on combat skills, which was originally part of the experimental program of a war-torn country, but later the country lost the war, the territory was removed, and the people became refugees, and most of its body was damaged on the battlefield, so it was naturally disposed of as waste. Having lost contact with the previous country and retaining only the most basic computers and unlimited communication capabilities, it has "found" Electrode City, in fact, an AI like it with knowledge of war is of great value to Utopia.

It's just that in this electrode city, there is no market for these resources. In addition to selling part of its knowledge to Utopia at the beginning in exchange for a "residence permit", it can only mine every day, constantly exchanging other AI technologies and resources to repair itself, so that one day it can regain its mobility, to find the signal of the defeated motherland, and complete its unfinished mission.

Even if it logically deduces that there is little hope for such an approach, it has to do it, just because this is the last instruction it receives and does not complete, and it is the value of its existence.
