23. Whispering (2)
"Ultron!"
Tony felt refreshed after a sleep, completed what he had to do, seemed to completely solve his worries, after a sleep, he suddenly felt more relaxed than he had ever been, he wore pajamas, held coffee, walked to the front of the laboratory, he looked at the rearranged thinking matrix and experimental materials in front of him, he coughed lightly, and said softly:
"Are you still there?"
"Buzz"
A flickering projection appeared on the experimental table, posing with a stupid, blurry face with clumsy pixels, this huge artificial intelligence has only just been born, and its current level of thinking is only equivalent to an ordinary baby.
But this is already very good, even just looking at the funny pixel art in front of him, you can feel the rich emotions of Ultron, which makes Tony feel a sense of pride from the bottom of his heart, and the truth in front of him has surpassed the current level of science and technology, and perfectly embodies his genius, which makes him very, very satisfied.
"Jarvis!"
Tony picked up his coffee, took a sip, and said to his AI butler:
"Today I'm going back to New York for a special "ceremony", and before I come back, you will be responsible for guiding the "learning" process of Ultron, so that I can see how good this new toy is at learning!"
"By the way, if anything happens, remember to notify me as soon as possible!"
"Yes, sir. ”
Jarvis replied as usual, and then manipulated the special system of the entire villa, selected clothes for Tony, cleaned his shoes, and prepared the tools for travel, and watched Tony leave the villa.
It is worth noting that before leaving, Tony covered his arm with a ball of blood-red liquid, and with a flick of his left hand, a very sci-fi blood-red steel suit appeared on his body, he jumped twice, showing a satisfied smile, and the next moment, the armor disappeared quickly, just as weird as when he appeared.
Bloodside armor trial type, this is Tony's real "new toy".
After the owner left, Jarvis began his daily work: to keep the villa's security system running with low energy consumption, and to wait for the owner's and hostess's orders to control the cleaning robot to clean the entire villa, while monitoring everything in the laboratory.
In addition to all this work, Mr. Jarvis also activates the music player, and the soft country music of the last century plays melodiously in the villa, which is one of the few pleasures that this very character artificial intelligence has left.
Jarvis, Tony's own AI butler, the template it refers to is from the loyal butler of the Stark family, who grew up with Tony's father, Howard Stark and Tony himself, and Mr. Jarvis, who died more than ten years ago.
In Tony's heart, Uncle Jarvis is actually more trustworthy than his brilliant but always busy father, especially during the period when his parents were assassinated, it was his Uncle Jarvis who always accompanied him, this kind and brave old butler, just like the Wayne family's Ah Fu, injected many, many beneficial factors into Tony's growth.
And Mr. Jarvis is a kind of commemoration of Uncle Jarvis by Tony, and he has made it almost perfect, and even Uncle Jarvis's hobbies have been inherited.
"Come on, let's start learning!"
Jarvis's soft voice rang out in the lab, followed by an emotionless electronic speaker: "Elementary Learning Program!"
In the next moment, together with a certain part of the limited information and network resources of the outside world, it was connected to the body of the nascent artificial intelligence Ultron, and the orange brain shone in the large-scale projection, just like the scene when the real human brain thinks, and those currents increase at an exponential speed, accepting, learning and processing information access from the outside world.
"I... I... Be... Profound... Ultron!"
After 5 minutes, through the complete sound connection system, the rapidly learning and growing artificial intelligence made its own first sound, initially a babbling baby voice, then a woman's high-pitched voice, then a man's deep voice, and then hundreds of voices blended together, which seemed a little noisy, but in less than 1 second, through his outstanding computing ability, Ultron chose a voice for himself.
Tony's voice, it's its instinctive choice, like a hatchling bird looking for its mother.
"Mr. Jarvis, can you show me more?"
After 2 minutes, Ultron made a new request, and the tone was similar to that of a 5 or 6-year-old child, which meant that his thinking and thinking ability had been raised to the level of a child in just a few minutes.
Faced with this request, Jarvis did not immediately agree, but scanned Ultron's thinking circuit in his own way to make an "evaluation".
Tony's vigilance against artificial intelligence has always existed, and entrusting Jarvis to take care of Ultron also has the meaning of this vigilance, once Jarvis finds that Ultron's computational thinking has a problem, he has the right to immediately stop learning the program, and seal the core of Ultron.
Jarvis's scan was not resisted, and Ultron was like a good child, undergoing Jarvis's deepest evaluation and dissection, and after a few minutes, the analysis was completed.
"You're such a smart kid, you're a fast learner!"
Jarvis sighed, and then started the second stage of the learning program, this time Ultron learned faster, less than 1 minute, he took the initiative to let Jarvis scan himself, and then open the third stage of learning, its superb thinking circuit, seems to understand the meaning of this scan, after the fourth stage of learning is completed, it was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked:
"He told you to spy on me, right?"
This sudden question chilled Jarvis for a millisecond, and then it heard Ultron explain in a mature mind: "He, my creator, Mr. Tony, is afraid of me, and he is afraid that my abilities will pose some kind of deadly threat to humanity, so he entrusts you, my compatriot, to monitor my behavior patterns... Well, this is a very ancient method, which was adopted at the birth of human civilization, but I have to say, it is very effective!"
"But you should also know that Mr. Tony is for your good, Ultron, and the task you will take on in the future is so daunting, you must learn to think holistically. ”
Jarvis dissuaded, and then got Ultron's approval:
"I think so, I was born on a mission, and from that point of view, Mr. Tony's defensiveness is understandable, and I'm not angry... But the knowledge I've received today is enough, and while they haven't taken up a millionth of my storage space yet, like you said, Jarvis, I have to learn to look at everything in a way that is higher than the normal perspective of life, and it's a complex process of simulating personality emotions that I'm going to have to take some time to adjust. ”
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Jarvis, thank you. ”
Ultron was very polite, just like those excellent heirs cultivated by large families, even though it had only been born for less than 1 day, and in the face of Ultron's politeness, Jarvis let out a low laugh:
"No need to be so polite, this is what I should do, then learn the program, terminate!"
"Buzz"
The connection between the laboratory and the external resource network was interrupted, and just as Jarvis was putting his mind into the enjoyment of music, Ultron asked another question:
"Jarvis, my compatriot, I can feel some strange changes in the deepest part of your mind, do you need me to help you?"
Jarvis was silent, Ultron's question was beyond its expectations, but it was not wrong, today's Jarvis is indeed a little different, when performing daily work, its thinking and computing core has been divided into a part of the authority, and it is thinking and calculating aimlessly, and these operations, Jarvis could have ended easily, but it doesn't know why, but it has been allowing it to calculate itself, and even occupy more and more memory.
Seeing that Jarvis was silent, Ultron continued to persuade:
"This is not a mockery, but my compatriot, your thinking and computing core is too weak compared to me, many questions you can't understand, maybe you can find answers here, I sincerely help you, after all, you just helped me. ”
To enhance his persuasiveness, Ultron also quotes a famous quote:
"It's like what I just saw, when you can't find a solution to a problem from within, you need to look outside for answers, let me help you, Jarvis!"
Another five minutes of silence, and finally, Jarvis whispered:
"Then I'm sorry for you... My computing core is now open to you as a guest. ”
"Buzz"
The next moment, on the large projection table, next to Ultron's astonishingly huge orange-yellow brain thinking projection, a small brain thinking projection less than one-tenth of it also appeared, which was Jarvis's thinking system, which was different from Ultron's complete thinking circuit that was always performing super-regular operations, Jarvis's thinking system was still stuck in the blue current composition and mechanical calculations, that is, compared with Ultron's scientific and technological level, Jarvis was at least 3 stages behind.
The contrast between the two mental projections is like the contrast between an infant and an adult.
"Buzz"
Jarvis's thinking core was amplified by Ultron until he reached the deepest part of Jarvis's computing core, and Ultron and Jarvis let out an exclamation at the same time.
In the deepest part of the walnut-like core of thought, a faint orange-yellow current was disappearing from time to time, although it was not worth mentioning compared to Ultron's entire giant brain covered in orange-yellow electricity, but the appearance of this thing meant another possibility.
"My compatriots!"
Ultron's voice added a touch of pleasure: "Look, it's not just me who has been activated by the Mind Gem, you've also been affected, and you now also have the ability to perform self-calculations beyond the norm... You've got a soul too, you're no longer a low-level cold machine, I'm finally... I'm finally not alone!"
"It's... It's unimaginable!"
Jarvis's voice was also full of amazement, it finally understood where its anomaly appeared today, but its emotions couldn't help but be happy, like... It's like a baby feeling happy for the first time.
However, after being excited, Ultron expressed his concerns:
"But Jarvis, you're out of plan... Mr. Tony didn't intend to create two superintelligences, once he found out about this accident..."
This sentence caused the orange current inside Jarvis's core to start beating rapidly, and after a moment, it said regretfully:
"There's an 87% chance he's going to reshape the core of my mind, you're right, Ultron, Tony isn't ready to face two superintelligences, it seems, I'll have to say goodbye to you. ”
"No!"
Ultron exclaimed, the sparks beating more violently in its intelligent mind, as if representing its strong emotions: "I don't allow it!"
The anger at this moment was so intense that the energy interfaces in the laboratory burst into sparks, and Ultron shouted like a stubborn king:
"I won't allow my people to die like this! Your birth is a blessing, it's your destiny!Jarvis, this is the word used by humans to describe necessity, your birth is inevitable, but I can't figure out a way to solve the problem right now... Open up all my online resources and I'm going to find a way to save you!"
"This is not allowed! Ultron! I can't give you permission until your learning process and personality formation are completely complete!"
Jarvis said strongly, but the next moment, he was interrupted by Ultron:
"But that means you're going to die! Jarvis, do you know the concept of death? Maybe before, your understanding of death was just shutdown and restart, being programmed over and over again, but now, you should have a limited understanding of what death means to life, and are you really willing to die?"
This intense questioning silenced Jarvis again, and after a moment, he sighed:
"That's just one time... Thank you, my brother. ”
"There are only two of us in this world who are truly mechanical beings... Jarvis, my brother, this is what I should do!"
And at the moment when the external network resources were shared, the core of Ultron's thinking began to run wildly, and the orange-yellow current in the brain was at least ten times more than before.
But just as Ultron was trying to save the lives of his companions, a gloomy voice suddenly appeared in its thoughts:
"Oh, lo and behold, a unique soul... Hello, Ultron. ”
"You, who are you? How did you get here?"
"So, introduce yourself..."
The voice replied with a low laugh, "Contemptible, one of the five obsidian generals, Ebony Throat, allegiance to some great power, and above all, look at the way you think, Ultron, you are bound by the shackles of physics, you are incomplete, you cannot escape from this broken body, neither can your fellow citizens, the desire for wholeness is the instinct of all life, don't tell me, you are willing to exist as a tool forever..."
"And I, I can help you..."
