(5) The Road to the Hunter (3)
In today's highly intelligent society, where their lives have been fully integrated into and taken care of by artificial intelligence, they are no longer able to distinguish between human creations and computer masterpieces. Today, for the first time, he realizes that his future mission is to defeat these invisible and powerful artificial intelligences, and a complex mood of excitement and uncertainty arises.
In fact, half a century ago, the wise men knew that true artificial intelligence could not have been born in a standalone supercomputer, but in the network or more unreal, in these super-organizations of countless solids, fluids, gases, and thinking bodies. It will be lightweight, embedded. There is no fixed morphology, and the internal connection is loose. Any contact with this network's AI is a sharing and contribution to its intelligence. This AI links tens of billions of human brains, trillions of exabytes of real-life data, and a self-correcting feedback loop for entire civilizations. When this new artificial intelligence comes out, it will be so ubiquitous that it will be unnoticeable. The acceleration of artificial intelligence in this four-dimensional world is as powerful as the "uranium element", and the knowledge has appeared, just around the corner. It's like what you feel when you enter a brainwave game, where everything you see is illusory and real, constantly correcting itself and correcting the intruder's consciousness. ”
As he spoke, a huge screen suddenly lit up behind him, showing a map of the hunting area.
"In order for you to start to adapt to living in an environment completely surrounded by artificial intelligence, learn to learn from artificial intelligence, use artificial intelligence to help you grow and break through, and overcome the challenges of artificial intelligence, this training is to put you into such an environment completely surrounded by artificial intelligence. During your month here, you will not be helped by any other human than the 100 who will participate in the final selection to help each other, and you will learn to use the facilities of this training area to survive and find a way out of the game area. Remember, there's only one way to win, and that's to escape Ascension! - During this period, anyone who abstains, dies, loses control, or does not escape from the game area for more than a month is considered a failure. Lincoln will appear with you from time to time, but he will only answer certain questions that can be answered, provide clues that can be provided, and will not provide any real help. ”
After saying the above, Lei Shang did not mean to provide a question and answer period, and directly made a short end to today's meeting. "OK, it's a pleasure to meet with all of you today, and I look forward to all of you here passing the test and becoming a member of the glorious Phantom Hunter, victory is not far away, and through this training and test, the Phantom Hunter's license is yours. Good luck. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into countless blue lights and dissipated into the air.
Lincoln, who was standing in the corner, walked gracefully to the center of the stage. He coughed lightly, circled the room with his gaze, and waited for the whispers in the audience to subside before he began his speech.
"Just now, our chairman has clearly stated the rules of this training and promotion, as an important existence to provide you with clues, I will also tell you a few old things here-
Even more recently, at the end of the 20th century, IBM's supercomputer DeepBlue, the predecessor of the Watson computer, defeated Gary Kaspadov, the dominant chess master of the time, in a famous man-machine game. After that, after the computer won one game after another, humanity has almost lost interest in challenging the computer again. However, this incident made Kasparov realize that he could perform better if he also had instant access to a massive database of all the moves in the previous game, like Deep Blue. His idea is certainly fair and feasible, and if it is considered fair for AI players to use database tools, then of course humans can use them. In order to realize the idea of strengthening the mind of the human master with a database, Kasparov proposed the concept of "man plus machine", that is, the use of artificial intelligence to enhance the level of chess players in the game.
Today, this ancient sport is still enjoyed by a niche of humans, like a mixed martial arts competition, where fighters can use any combat technique they want. You can play without assistance, or you can be a puppet of an extremely clever chess computer and simply move the pieces according to its instructions; Or you could be a "centaur" type of player advocated by Kasparov, that is, a "Cyborg cyborg" that combines humans and artificial intelligence. This kind of player will listen to the AI's suggestions and occasionally reject them, much like when we use GPS to navigate while driving. At the 2014 Free Chess Tournament, which was open to players of any mode, players who used purely artificial intelligence chess engines won 42 matches, while "centaur" players won 53 matches. The best team of chess players in the world today is the "centaur" type of Intagrand, which consists of a human team and several different chess programs.
But what is even more surprising is that the advent of artificial intelligence has not weakened the level of human chess players. On the contrary, the number of players played, the number of tournaments, and the level of players are at an all-time high, spurred on by cheap and super-intelligent chess software. Compared to Deep Blue's first victory over Kasparov, the number of people holding the title of chess grandmaster has at least doubled. Magnus Carlsen, the number one human chess player today, trained with AI and is considered to be the closest to a computer of all human chess players. He is also the highest-rated human chess grandmaster of all time......"
"Silence, he won't let us learn to play chess, will he?" Hearing this, Nolan began to grasp her fluffy blonde hair with both hands uneasily, and a slight painful expression appeared on her face, she was most afraid of playing this ancient game.
As if hearing Nolan's question, Lincoln replied in a humble voice: "Of course, the above tips I mentioned are not for you to play chess, but to give you an example of the rational use of artificial intelligence to learn and grow." Okay, it's not early today, it's time for dinner, and you can find out the location of the cafeteria through the electronic map. Oh, by the way, all food needs to be consumed in currency, and by the time you enter the hunting area, your monetary system has been all classified into a unified 10,000 yuan, which is your initial capital, and you have to calculate the output and consumption of currency, and don't let yourself run out of food and water to drink - this will not last for a month......"
After speaking, he coughed lightly twice and said to himself: "Having said so much, I should also go and drink saliva and rest." ”
Then he quickly disappeared into the darkness of the curtain.
The entire conference hall was brightly lit at this point, but most of the 100 Phantom Ranger candidates present were still a little confused about the current situation.
Sitting in the front row on the left, Silence, Nolan, Zuo Ci, Clear Sky and Witt stood up one after another, and everyone raised their electronic bracelets to confirm Lincoln's statement, and found that sure enough, all the daily capital accounts had been frozen, and only a new unknown account was opened in their own information system, with 10,000 yuan.
"Let's go, let's go to the cafeteria." Silent rubbed Nolan's fluffy hair, who was still stunned, and at the same time, he also beckoned Qingtian, Zuo Ci and Witt to go together. Since their first acquaintance yesterday, he has automatically classified them as friends.
After Lincoln's explanation, everyone naturally wanted to go to the cafeteria to see what was going on, so they followed the large army in the same direction.
