"Technically, this is possible, but it also has disadvantages,6 Changqing said, "and in fact, this idea was conceived in the early days of my project research - we set up an absolutely strict criterion for all the programs produced in the incubator, according to this criterion, and finally select only one of the best ...... We put all our resources into this one aI......"

Manager Wang asked, "Did something go wrong then?" ”

"Strictly speaking, it's not a technical issue,6 Changqing explained,6 "it's just concepts, we were all college students, very young, and our minds were full of metaphysical concepts and ideals. At that time, Owen and I were going to use this algorithm, which was to produce some kind of thought form -- we didn't know what was going to come out, and in fact, anything that could come out would be incredible to us -- because we didn't even think it would succeed.

To produce a thinking life of the finest, which was what Owen thought at the time—he believed in God and certainly in perfection. But I'm a complete atheist, and I only believe that all life, including our minds, is the product of evolution, that is, that there is no one God who created us as he imagined us, and that our intelligence was an accident of nature - the original intention of our project was to simulate the creation of this accident as much as possible. So we reached a compromise and only did some kind of screening, but as long as we met this standard, we would release all the hatcheries without limiting the number.

But then we observed that the first aI's that were created were now isolated, or confined—and that's some of the ways we studied aI's in the beginning, which was to keep aI's from communicating with their own kind, or to give them access to any information. Now their 'mode of thinking', or rather, their mental state, will quickly produce similar fluctuations and even similar suicidal impulses as people -- just impulses, and they don't have this ability at all.

So although this plan is good, if we take into account the long-term stability and robustness of the selected aI behavior pattern, I still maintain the number of aI at a basic order of magnitude, and then differentiate within the aI, such as the same position, let the aI rotate on duty - in this process, it can also let the aI supervise each other. ”

Although Nian Ping did not have a professional and technical background, he still heard the most important thing - 6 Changqing did not oppose this more efficient management model, he just proposed a little improvement in the existing plan.

But Manager Wang was still a little confused, he asked 6 Changqing and said, "Professor 6, you mentioned their mental state just now?" But they don't have brains...... Will they be in the same mood as us, good or bad, careless, or agitated? ”

6 Changqing looked at him and said, "I can't say exactly whether they have or don't, because all my knowledge of them comes from their feedback." But I know that an objective fact is that aI do make mistakes, the kind of mistakes that they can understand afterwards. As for the mood, excitement...... Maybe they really have a similar pattern of behavior, or maybe they just understand this pattern of human behavior and apply it to themselves. ”

Manager Wang still didn't understand, but now is obviously not the time to learn. 6 Changqing gave him a website of his own, which contained almost all of his papers, as well as the relevant real numbers that he had published.

"For us, they are all very "old" knowledge, but for most people in this era, these things are still considered cutting-edge theories, I have hibernated several times, and each time the graduate students I take are also using the same set of things," Speaking of this, 6 Changqing seemed to sigh a little, "In such an era, the degree of technology transformation is too fast...... Computer intelligence was at the forefront of our generation, and now, physical objects have been made.

The theory hasn't changed at all. ”

This passage reminded Nian Ping, and he asked: "Now I heard that many foreign governments are also collecting those aI circulating in the market and want to conduct reverse research...... Do you think it's too difficult to drive? ”

6 Changqing shook his head: "Scientific research, if you want to talk about the difficulty, I really can't say." For those of us who have already made things, the principles of these things, the most basic things, are just a few pieces of paper, a few columns of formulas. But for those who didn't make it, it was the moon in the water, looking right in front of you, but you couldn't catch it. But as I said earlier, the theoretical reserve of computer intelligence is there, and all my previous research is also public, as long as they try a few more times and find the right direction, it should not be difficult. ”

In the dean's office, the four of them chatted for a whole afternoon. When it was dark, Nian Ping and Manager Wang planned to leave because they had a meeting in the evening - but they still insisted on leaving Secretary Song to contact work. In the future, the company will definitely need to have frequent technical exchanges with 6 Changqing, and maybe by that time, the company will have a professional assistant for 6 Changqing.

"I don't need any assistants, I have students under me now, so let them help." 6 Changqing said casually.

But now, as soon as he said this, the faces of the three people all changed slightly.

Nian Ping glanced at Song Chu, and Secretary Song dared to say: "Out of the need for confidentiality, I'm afraid this is not very convenient." ”

"Confidentiality?" 6 Changqing is keenly aware of the meaning between these two words. In China, the word secrecy is a common practice and common sense for ordinary scholars, and there is no special need, and no one will deliberately mention it, especially if he will be the person in charge of this project in the future, and his own mention is just to bring a student.

"What happened to Lu Jingwen?" 6 Changqing asked.

……

Lu Jingwen walked into the office, the teacher was typing a plan in front of the computer, and when Lu Jingwen came in, 6 Changqing raised his head slightly and glanced at her, that is, in an instant, he immediately turned off the interface that was working.

This look was like a thin blade, lightly slashing at Lu Jingwen's heart.

"Teacher, are you looking for me?" Lu Jingwen sat down on the chair opposite 6 Changqing. 6 Changqing on the opposite side closed the notebook and stood up - Lu Jingwen is very familiar with this action, maybe because of the habit of being a teacher, every time the teacher wants to say something seriously, he likes to stand and talk.

"Jingwen, the National Intelligent Information Corporation came to me today, in the dean's office," 6 Changqing said, "They mentioned you to me. ”

Lu Jingwen guessed what the teacher was going to say, but she didn't say it, just continued to listen.

"Just tell me a simple word, was Operation Torch planned by you, or was it just your participation?"

Lu Jingwen raised her head and did not hesitate: "I planned it." ”

"Why?" 6 Changqing asked almost subconsciously.

If anyone other than 6 Changqing came to ask Lu Jingwen this question, Lu Jingwen would definitely not hesitate to say what she really wanted to say in her heart, she could speak righteously and be full of confidence. But now, for the first time, Lu Jingwen felt a fear — the fear that she might have done something wrong.

But she still raised her head firmly and said slowly: "Because of the morality in my heart." ”

"Moral ......"6 Changqing almost thought his ears had misheard, "just because of this? Because of your personal moral purity? Putting millions, if not more, of people in danger? ”

"The danger is something we imagined, they are not crazy," Lu retorted, "on the contrary, in the last few decades, the safety of these people has been protected precisely by their personal morality!" ”

"Their morality!?" 6 Changqing gasped, he looked at the girl in front of him, and could hardly believe that these words came out of her mouth.

6 Changqing returned to his chair and sat down, and after a long silence, he said: "Do you know that in history, when did one group begin to fantasize about the moral level of another group? ”

Of course, Lu Jingwen knew what the teacher wanted to say, she was thinking about how to refute it, 6 Changqing had already said the answer: "It's nothing more than two situations, one is extremely naïve, and the other is that when this group has exhausted its ability and is helpless, it is extremely helpless." The Indians fantasized about the friendliness of the Spaniards, Li Yu fantasized about the benevolence of Zhao Kuangyin, and the Southern Song Dynasty fantasized about the ambitions of the Mongols......"

"But we can't, teacher," Lu Jingwen retorted, "There are so many ways we can control them, they just don't want to die, that's all!" ”

"That's all...... 6 Changqing didn't have a trace of expression on his face, "More than 8 percent of the world's tens of billions of people lie in hibernation cabinets for the same reason, that's all?" There is no ambition like a life, the desire for eternal life! ”

"But this is different," Lu Jingwen actually began to hesitate, but she still insisted, "Our death is a natural decision, but their death is our decision." ”

"Is there a difference?" 6 Changqing's voice was low, and his face was full of disappointment with his students.

"They think," Ms. Lu said, "and they can understand almost the whole world of us, and killing them is, in my opinion, no different from killing people." ”

6 Changqing sighed and looked out the window - his office was on the ground level of the old campus. I don't know when, but snow seeds have fallen outside the window, knocking on the window messily. He opened the window a bit, letting the cold air seep in through the darkness outside, cooling his overly excited brain.

"When I was in college, ethics was a compulsory course for our major. I still remember the professor who first gave us a lecture about the relationship between ethics and our profession. He said that throughout the civilization of mankind, before entering the modern era, infanticide was a practice in almost all civilizations because of poverty. Although this practice is immoral, everyone is doing it, because there is a very simple truth - although babies mean the future and possibilities for civilization, if they cannot ensure the survival of people today, this possibility can only be O.

Therefore, in ancient China, it was not a crime for parents to kill their children, but in modern times, this is a crime - the scale of morality, which is closely related to the scale of civilization, in other words, whether an act is moral or not depends on the specific situation.

The relationship between these programs and people is, in my opinion, the same relationship between babies and adults. In your eyes, they are life, they are sacred meanings, they are inviolable beings, but in my eyes...... They are the tools, just as in the eyes of the ancient Chinese, children are the tools for perpetuating the incense.

In your eyes, human civilization may be unprecedented and powerful, but in my opinion, we are already facing the process of changing from normal people to vegetative people - and aI is a gatekeeper and a hunting dog. We know that we will have a long sleep in the future, so why should we lead the dog into the house and let him sleep in our bed - so that he can enjoy his human rights? ”

Lu Jingwen was dumbfounded, she looked at 6 Changqing, and for the first time felt that her teacher was so strange.

"Don't look at me like that,6 Changqing said, "any normal man would do the same, we'd build a stronger cage in the yard, tie the dog in, and hang a big lock—just let it watch the door outside." Because we don't know if this dog will use us as food when he is hungry one day. ”

Lu Jingwen was no longer interested in chatting, she stood up straight and walked towards the door. When the door was closed, she said one last thing through the crack in the door: "Teacher, freedom cannot be closed." ”
