Chapter 27: Another Thread (I)
“…… The investigation team formed by the First Academy of Sciences of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology yesterday disclosed the results of the investigation, showing that the content of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Boken Yàn Room did not violate the laws of the League, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Academic Committee reserved the right to sue the whistleblower for defamation. Boken did not say anything about this, with one of his students saying in an interview that 'Professor Boken has no interest in these paparazzi'...... Further reading, an MIT employee anonymously reported that the team in Bokenshi's room was working on several artificial intelligence ...... that could endanger humans.
-- The authoritative scientific journal of the Alliance, the journal "Science Exploration".

"That's it, that's it."
The 72-year-old Rosen. Boken stretched out his hand and swiped lightly through the air, and a large number of numbers, models, and calculus all suddenly disappeared, and the whole room returned to its ordinary white.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Boken Room, is a Rosen. As the "best master of artificial intelligence after 2150", the winner of the highest award in the natural sciences of the two-time alliance, the winner of the Truth Award, Rosen. Boken was not too pedantic, and he was always energetic in front of his students, as if he preferred to be called "professor" rather than a doctor, which is why he refused to go to the Allied Academy of Sciences for research, and instead stayed at MIT as a doctoral supervisor.
Of course, on the surface, he couldn't stand the huge overload of the space shuttle and refused, and many old academic giants had this problem, which made the age composition of the First Academy of Sciences of the League significantly younger, and it also made the Academy not completely dominate the academic world, at least not until the death of these old professors.
"Okay, Professor."
It was a team of seven people, including Professor Boken. However, most of the time, there were only six people in the real room.
However, today, for the first time, Helis also appeared in the real yàn room. And there was no early departure.
At this time, the girl was not wearing heavy metal boots, nor was she wearing a silver cape, but with a cat-ear-shaped amplifier, wearing a plain white T-shirt and denim shorts, and a pair of board shoes wrapped in white stockings, the girl was standing to the side, sorting out something on the terminal screen.
"Herris, stop for a moment, come here."
Professor Boken held out his hand. With a gentle wave at Helis, the cat-eared girl nodded, and then silently walked over to the professor, leaving the five classmates who were almost half a meter taller than her to make the way for the classmate, whom she had barely met, and let her walk in front of Professor Boken.
"Am I going to introduce myself for you?" Professor Boken spread his hands and pretended to be half-joking helplessly, which made the students around him laugh softly, and Helis was stunned for a moment. A shallow but polite smile was also revealed.
"Just kidding." Professor Boken clapped his hands after enlivening up the atmosphere. began his commencement speech.
"Today's perfect operation of the program proves that you can graduate from me smoothly, and you don't have to waste your youth with me as a bad old man, but even so, don't forget to hand in your papers, don't say I didn't remind you."
Professor Boken turned. Climb up to the table behind you and sit on it, this action makes everyone sweat - 72 years old, anyway.
Herris, who was closest to the professor, also stretched out her hand, even without the muscle tonic suit, the girl's body was much stronger than that of ordinary humans.
"Thank you," Professor Boken thanked Helis. Then he continued, "But I am sure that you will have no problems with your papers, you are some of the best students I have ever met, and I have no doubt that you will become a master of a generation when I am in the ground, and take seven or eight truth prizes to show the nostril-nosed boys of Icarus." ”
Everyone laughed again.
"However, because of this, I have something to tell you."
Professor Boken put away his smile, "You should remember what I said in my first class. ”
"Yes." One girl nodded slightly, "'Always know what you're doing, always think about what one more step these things will bring.'" ”
"Correct." Professor Boken nodded, then glanced at the students surrounding him, "In the future, whether you are engaged in applied research or sell these binaries for the rest of your life, you must remember this." ”
"Understood."
Everyone nodded slightly, and Professor Boken clapped his hands and raised his voice, "Then I won't waste everyone's time, remember to grade this class online, and next week's prom!" ”
"We'll give us the marks for our essay for this class, Professor."
"Don't dream, I'm not going to give you full marks just because of that."
A group of people were chirping and packing up their things and leaving the room, and Helis turned her head and was about to say goodbye to the professor, but the professor stopped her one step earlier.
"Herris, wait a minute, I want to talk to you."
Helis nodded, because she saw that the other boy had no intention of packing up and leaving, and the professor obviously had to deal with the other party's affairs first.
After all, I'm not really a student.
"Professor, about my application to join this program......"
The boy hesitated for a moment and spoke directly to the professor, "Isn't it okay in the end?" ”
"This project is private, and I don't have the right to decide whether or not to add people." The professor nodded, affirming the result, "And the project is nearing completion." ”
"But such a huge project will inevitably require long-term maintenance, correction, and upgrades, and these don't require manpower?" The boy still seems to be a little unwilling, "Even if you are the leader of the project, you can't ......"
"No way, that's the contract." Professor Boken shrugged his shoulders like a child, "The investment company has its own team, and my side will soon hand it all over, and according to the non-disclosure agreement, I can't tell you which company you are." ”
"That's right...... All right. ”
The boy sighed and finally gave up. He showed a wry smile, "Honestly, this project has completely upended my understanding of artificial intelligence, and I can feel that we are entering a new field." ”
"Actually, new fields are everywhere, and unlike me, you're catching up with a good time. The explosion of technology has once again befallen Earth. Professor Boken reached out and patted the boy on the shoulder, "I'm optimistic about you." ”
"Okay, then I won't bother."
The boy turned his head to look at Helis, then nodded at Professor Boken, turned around and picked up his satchel and walked out of the room.
"So, it's time, princesses, to lock the door?"
Watching the last of the unrelated personnel leave the room, Professor Boken turned to look at Helis.
Helis didn't speak. Just shook his head.
You should know why I got involved in this program.
"Of course I do, but tell me how much you know." Professor Boken didn't answer directly, but pushed the question back to Herris, "Or have you hacked my computer and learned about it?" ”
You don't have to.
Helis shook her head, curled the corners of her mouth as if she hadn't done it, and raised her hand to pull out a monitor.
Even if it's purely from the point of view of what I have. It can also be found that this is a very dangerous system, which is a swarm thinking program. Countless sub-programs in the access network play the role of "thinking factors", these sub-programs have their own perception hardware, and what they see and hear will be fed back to the whole, so as to assist the group in making decisions.
Although it is still based on von. Neumann's framework does not really have the ability of Turing machines, but this kind of bee colony is cultivated. You can use the individual's learning ability to build a huge library of comparative numbers, and if there is enough hardware support, it is very likely to have a literal sense of "thinking ability".
So, I think, this kind of swarming thinking program is quite dangerous. Because they already have the possibility of initial evolution, humans have successfully simulated bacterial communities two hundred years ago, and this kind of swarm thinking is likely to create a bee colony with the sole purpose of reproduction, which will have serious consequences.
"That's all?" Professor Boken raised his hand and scratched his short white hair, like a little child who had been caught playing a prank, "You should know more, right?" ”
Why don't you take care of the rest? After all, you're Professor Boken.
This time Helis smiled unmistakably as she raised her hand to turn off the holographic display and looked at the professor.
"This is not a simple bee colony, but a bee colony that cannot evolve itself, we all know that for this kind of insect, once one queen dies, another will immediately evolve, but this bee colony does not have such a function, that is, once it is activated and there is no pre-designed leader, then it is easy to kill each other, and even, before they can materialize, they will kill each other in order to compete for hardware and computing resources."
So, this is no different from the system of 200 years ago?
In the middle of the 21st century, human scientists have successfully simulated the bacterial community, and if the amount of CPU computing is regarded as a "resource", the code that simulates the community will not only compete with each other, but also have a certain degree of evolution - of course, this evolution is still extremely far away from "civilization", and it is not even comparable to some highly intelligent computer viruses.
"No, there's a big difference." Professor Boken directly repudiated Herris this time, "Because one of the parts I am responsible for shows that the 'leader' of this swarm is a person. ”
The Evil Demon King wants to borrow this program to create an army of absolutely obedient people? Isn't there some dog blood in this section?
Helis was stunned for a moment, and then looked suspiciously at the old professor in front of him, who liked to joke very much.
"Unfortunately, this is not a joke," Professor Boken sighed, "but there are still some imperfections in this thing, and I don't plan to hand over my core code to them, and I've considered this possibility from the beginning, including yours, and I've kept it." ”
"Moreover, I intend to divide them and transfer all the R&D experience of this project to the First Academy of Sciences, and then delete the key control program."
So, the key question is, who are "they"?
After a long discussion, Helis finally asked her own question.
"Rohms Technology, the one you know, is on par with Kronos Technology."
The moment Boken spoke, Helis waved his hand, and the entire room was scanned to make sure there were no eavesdropping devices.
I know this, I've found this a long time ago, but I haven't found what I want, what is their relationship with the ACA? Who is contacting the ACA?
Helis frowned, it was clear that this answer was not enough.
“ACA?” However, it was clearly Professor Boken who was even more surprised, "I never knew what they had to do with the ACA, did you find anything?" ”
Helis narrowed his eyes and did not give an affirmative or negative answer, although it was proved from all angles that this old professor had nothing to do with the incident a year ago, but Helis naturally would not be stupid enough to be tricked by the other party like this.
It's just that, of course, Helis didn't just sit at home to read books and do projects this year, she spent a lot of time and checked almost all the people with status in MIT, but she didn't get anything.
She knows that Rohms Technology is the mastermind behind this project, but Rohms has dozens of branches, hundreds of departments, hundreds of thousands of employees, and thousands of executives around the world, and any one person can be the nail of ACA.
I asked for the contact information for the "Jack of Spades", which I never got it.
Helis was silent for a moment, then made a request.
The so-called "Jack of Spades" is the third major contributor to the project, Helis and Boken, and this "Jack of Spades" came out together, and Helis has been restrained until now, and now it's time for a showdown.
"I'm sorry, I can't give it to you."
Professor Boken shook his head, "Because I can only leave him a message, he uses an encrypted mailbox, multi-layer forwarding and CC, and a lot of disguise and deception, I tried to track him, but I never found him." ”――
Thank you for the reward of 100,000 yuan students~ (to be continued......)
