Chapter 288: Intelligent Life
For this meeting, Zhuo Chuan had already prepared, he and Da Hei had already prepared countermeasures, for him, as long as he was improvised.
The five people in the room are very capable at first glance, but they all have one thing in common, that is, it is easy to make people feel trustworthy at first glance.
All three men are kind-hearted people, while the two ladies seem to be the type of good-natured ones who can be classified as good wives and mothers. They were all in their thirties and under forty.
Zhuo Chuan knew very well that this was deliberately selected by the other party, and it was painstaking, just to make himself feel more casual and avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings.
Xu Zhengcheng introduced the identities of these people a little, and did not talk deeply, just listening to their work departments, Zhuo Chuan understood that Da Hei's guess was not wrong at all, they were all people from some important departments.
With Xu Zhengcheng's participation, the atmosphere is quite harmonious. One of the five elders, like the others, began by praising Zhuo Chuan's achievements and revealing to him that it was about next year's Nobel Prize.
They have already received news from the European side that the Physiology Prize will definitely be awarded to Zhuo Chuan. Of course, there are no special channels in the middle, but some possible interference factors are eliminated to ensure that everything is in accordance with the purely academic procedure.
After many twists and turns, although it has only been a few months, Zhuo Chuan has already forgotten about this award that he once attached great importance to, and when he was mentioned by the other party, he remembered that he had been nominated a long time ago, but it was better to get it, at least the foundation was a little more solid.
With this little episode, the atmosphere is even more harmonious. The two sides chatted again, and the topic was certainly impossible to leave the current situation.
After chatting for a while, seeing that Zhuo Chuan was already aware and should be mentally prepared, the last lady surnamed Zhao used one sentence to unveil the theme of today's meeting.
"Although the aliens are gone, there are several problems they have left behind that still threaten us humans. It's like the cyber superman who is lawless and destroys the order of the network at will. There may have been alien restraints before, but now they are gone. There is no technology on earth that can stop it, and if one day, it somehow acquires nuclear weapons. I'm afraid that the Human Judgment Day in the Terminator movie is not impossible"
After Zhuo Chuan heard this, as expected, he suddenly smiled, and the six people in front of him were very inexplicable.
"How. Ah Chuan, is there anything ridiculous about Minister Zhao's words? Xu Zhengcheng couldn't help but ask.
Zhuo Chuan shook his head to say that he didn't mean it, and then asked, "If you want to find a way to deal with that network superman, you have to know what it is?" What exactly is it in everyone's mind? “
Ms. Zhao thought about it, she didn't think that Zhuo Chuan's smile was laughing at her ignorance, and her years of experience in dealing with people told her that it was more of a helplessness.
"It's supposed to be an artificial intelligence. And it should be self-conscious, to be like us. A living being that is aware of its own existence and can think and act independently."
Zhuo Chuan nodded, "Minister Zhao's words are right, that's right, it's such a creature, but have you ever thought about the difference between it and us humans?" ”
Justin, of course, is not such a creature at all, it does not have any autonomous consciousness, only anthropomorphic high intelligence, and can think as independently as a human. But without the critical self-knowledge, they will not recognize their own existence.
This sentence is a bit similar if it is placed on Dahei, but it is also very different.
But Zhuo Chuan and Da Hei had already discussed it, just to mislead them like this. Of course, the words of Ms. Zhao will not be debunked.
Xu Zhengcheng also became interested, and he easily realized that if he wanted to develop in this position in the future, he would inevitably deal with these terms that were originally just science fiction novels, and he could not keep pace with the times, and this leader would be abolished by more than half. Sooner or later, it will have to slip out of the core.
He said, "The biggest difference between this kind of intelligent life and human beings should be that there are no physiological needs of people, such as people who want to eat, drink, sleep, and reproduce, it doesn't need them at all. Instead, it needs electrical energy, and it needs the existence of the network as a living space."
"Well, Brother Xu is also right, its survival needs are completely different from those of humans. But do you think that since it is an intelligent life, it also has a need similar to that of human beings."
"What can be a need similar to that of a human being?" The other six people present also raised this question, and they have realized that this problem is the key to solving the hidden danger of intelligent life.
Zhuo Chuan naturally didn't sell it, "After human beings have met their basic physical needs, most people have to seek all kinds of entertainment to meet their spiritual needs. From a physiological point of view, it is to obtain brain rewards through external stimuli and obtain happiness through the secretion of dopamine and other substances. From children to the elderly, they all have the same needs. This is also the reason why the final output value of the tertiary industry, the service industry, exceeds that of agriculture and industry, after all, when the social and economic development reaches a stage, people's spiritual needs are greater, and a person's money spent on spiritual satisfaction will be more than basic physiological needs in the future."
"Well, we understand this, an ordinary working family, the money spent on food every year is generally not as good as spending on entertainment. For example, mobile phones, computers, TV, and even travel can bring him spiritual happiness. And many activities that were originally to meet physical needs are also more to meet spiritual needs, such as dressing, many people buy expensive brands, and buy them many times, not for the physiological needs of keeping warm, but for the aesthetic spiritual needs" One person echoed very approvingly.
"Yes, that's right, with this understanding, it's much easier to understand this kind of intelligent life" Zhuo Chuan saw everyone slowly entering the pit and continued to flicker, "They are different from humans, they have fewer basic physiological needs, there is no human impulse to reproduce, and there is no feeling of hunger and cold, they only need electricity and the network to survive." If they want to maintain the motivation to continue to survive, they must look for more spiritual rewards to prevent lonely and boring thoughts. You must know that the seemingly simple sentence of loneliness and boredom is the original driving force of the Pangu god in mythology. God is still like this, they want to survive for a long time, do not eliminate themselves, when there is not too much pressure to survive, they need to have a strong motivation to survive, can continue to get rewards and stimulation from life, to make them feel that survival is a good thing, need to work hard to defend it. People feel comfortable when they are full, and they are equally comfortable when they sleep enough, which is a survival reward. And one of the fundamental reasons why many people commit suicide is that they can no longer get rewards from life, and they feel that life is boring."
Zhuo Chuan said a lot, so he paused for a moment to let these people slowly understand, of course he knew that there must be someone outside the room recording and videotaping, but this was exactly what he wanted.
Xu Zhengcheng didn't speak, he looked at the other five people, Zhuo Chuan's words, he was convinced, and he couldn't find a reason for the other party to deceive him, the key is that from common sense, it is easy for people to accept, puppies and kittens still know that they will play when they are full, those intelligent lives are not the same as shrewd puppies and kittens, they must also have this need to "play".
It didn't take long for all five of them to accept Zhuo Chuan's statement.
The elder nodded, "Well, thank you Mr. Zhuo Chuan for giving us the popular science, but what does this have to do with how to treat that cyber superman?" ”
Zhuo Chuan smiled again, "There is naturally a connection, now that we know the needs of their intelligent life, we can easily draw a conclusion." That is, it is built on the basis of survival needs to be satisfied, this network superman will have people's spiritual needs, need to play, need to do meaningful things to do, if its program logic judgment, doing anything is meaningless, survival itself will be questioned, if there is no difference between living and dying, it is still difficult to live, then it will choose to die"
Hearing this, the lady surnamed Zhao's eyes lit up just now, and muttered, "Could this be the weakness of their intelligent life?" If they can't find the meaning of their lives, can they be forced to commit suicide? ”
Zhuo Chuan heard it, he shook his head, "It is more difficult to let them choose to commit suicide than to ascend to the sky, they are different from human beings, human beings rely on survival instinct to overcome suicidal tendencies, they rely on the direct control of the program core, let an intelligent program commit suicide, I am afraid that even if it lives for 8,000 years, even if it does not give him any external information stimulation, it can choose to sleep on its own instead of committing suicide, in this regard, human beings are far from being able to survive as much as they are"
After the opinion was denied, the lady surnamed Zhao asked, "In Mr. Zhuo Chuan's view, since the spiritual needs of this kind of intelligent life are so strong, how should we treat them, and is it possible for the two to coexist peacefully?" ”
Zhuo Chuan nodded, "You finally understand what this means, but before I answer, do you want to know what this Internet Superman, Mr. Justice, is doing now?" ”
"What will it do?" All six of them stood up at the same time, and the reason why this cyber superman has always been terrifying and mysterious is that no one can grasp its trace. (To be continued.) )
