Chapter 417: Answering Questions and Answering Doubts
"Alright, that's pretty much all I have to say, Arthur. As on the previous occasions, I will leave before your "baby" goes online, my liaison officer will arrive soon after I leave, he will be in charge of the next qiē military operation on this plane, and after I leave, you can get the Samaritans online at any time as long as both of you agree. After that, it is up to you to decide every decision on this plane. I won't come to accept the results until at least a month later......" Shen Chao finally instructed him to prepare for flashing.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Shen, if you don't mind, I have a few more words to say. I've been waiting for a long time...... "Seeing that he was leaving, the old man hurriedly stopped him. Since he was recruited by the expedition, although he was served with good food and drink, the expedition team gave him a lot of resources and manpower to help him improve the Samaritans.
However, even counting this time, he has only seen Shen Chao 4 times in total, and every time Shen Chao flashes directly after handing over the work, although Shen Chao gives him a high degree of affirmation and support for his work every time, but some problems have been buried in his mind for a long time.
Like other recruits, they may have been recruited by deception or even kidnapping prior to their journey through the plane, but once they have traversed the Temporal Gate, they will be told the truth.
A video of their home plane, the number of the expedition team, and the reason why they were recruited...... The expedition team will be very clear about these things and make sure they really understand them.
After that, most of them are faced with a free choice. Stay or return to your home plane...... Having lost his wife and suffering from a terminal illness in his later years, he naturally chose to stay for treatment like most people, and to repay him by working.
However, the more he learned about the things of time travel, the deeper his doubts grew. Some of the questions were recent, and more of them came after he first opened the Guò Time Gate, and the lack of accurate answers to these questions always made him feel uneasy and even unable to sleep at night.
Therefore, taking the opportunity of the Samaritan's test, he felt the need to ask Shen Chao for clarification in person. Because God knows when the next time he will see Shen Chao.
"Alright, let's talk. What's the problem? Shen Chao stopped. Calmly, in today's increasingly large expedition and its peripheral organizations, as the top leader of the organization, he gets a large number of questions every day, whether he wants to answer them or not. He had to be a good listener a lot of the time.
Because of this kind of listening and explaining experience, quite a lot. So he had even roughly guessed from the other party's tone what question Arthur would ask.
"Oh. First of all, I don't think I've ever had the opportunity to formally thank you for saving more than just my life. I also saved my child Samaritan, for this, I am very grateful......" It seems that he didn't expect Shen Chao to stop answering himself so simply, so when Shen Chao asked him a question, Arthur, who had not yet organized his language, stuttered a little, with his not very coordinated body tremors, and even a little funny.
"Don't be in a hurry, Mr. Korepp, ask slowly. Shen Chao persuaded patiently, and even motioned for the guards next to him to bring two chairs. Because he knows that the other party's questions will not be short. Once they were seated, Arthur finally organized his language.
"I know it may be a bit reckless for me to ask these questions, and I've heard that there are a lot of other research groups working on AI for your organization, and I've even heard that many of them come from high-tech planes like this ......."
As he spoke, he pointed to the ceiling, meaning the plane on which such a space station could be built. For him, the world of being able to build a space station of this urban scale is already very high-tech.
"You know, even in my home plane, I'm not the most talented computer engineer, my friend Harold, he finished his machine much earlier and more maturely than my Samaritan, I knew that from the first day I came. As you've said before, it only took your team a few minutes to find me when they arrived at my mother's plane, so if you want, you'll be able to find Harold and his baby with ease. ”
"Then I guess my question is, why, in the end, out of so many choices, would you choose me and my Samaritan?" And how are you going to arrange us after this test? ......" said Arthur, subconsciously hugging the box containing his Samaritan.
"That's a good question, Arthur, I've heard questions like this from a lot of people from different planes and backgrounds, why me?" This is actually one of the most common questions, second only to "Who are you?" and "What is that door?" and so on. Shen Chao replied in a relaxed posture in his chair, he had heard similar questions too many times.
"Normally, I use fate, fate, or luck to explain these kinds of problems, and that's true for most of the people we recruit. But your situation is different, you are not a plane refugee, and your world is not a place for us to occupy. ”
"You're right about your friend, I can find Harold. I can also find his colleagues and enemies. I can even pinpoint everyone he's helped with an irrelevant list, even the machine he created that he thought was well hidden in the clouds. ”
"But I didn't do that because he was so afraid of the AI he created that he stopped in the tech world. No matter how skilled such a person is, they will not be able to develop the AI we need. ”
"And the reason you ask these questions is not because you have any doubts about yourself or your Samaritan's abilities. You're asking these questions because you're worried, you're worried about whether I'm the kind of super-villain you can only do in comics, or if I'm a super-warlord who treats human life like a mustard... Speaking of this, Shen Chao simply took off his helmet, revealing his extremely bright eyes.
"And the biggest fear for people like you is usually that I'm going to go berserk someday in the future or plan right now to turn your Samaritans into part of a vast war plane that will end up hurting innocent people...... Did I guess right? ”
"So, would you do that?" Arthur was already very nervous when he asked this, and Shen Chao could even see beads of sweat beginning to ooze densely on the skin on his forehead. Obviously, his words went to the other party's worst concerns.
"If I say no, will you believe it?" He smiled, but Arthur on the other side didn't know how to answer. He could feel that most of what Shen Chao said should be at least the truth, and from the other party's words, he couldn't see any crazy qualities.
But as a rare cutting-edge scientist with a kind heart and who was also responsible for his own creation, he was still not sure if it was the right choice to continue to perfect the Samaritan and hand it over to Shen Chao, so he fell silent.
Shen Chao has already received a large number of scientists from various planes with similar tempers to Arthur, so he knows that if he doesn't untie the other party's knot today, these guys will drag themselves down in the rest of the work, and even deliberately mess up the project.
The Samaritan is currently the closest to a stable version of the AI development project, and many important dimensional development plans are being hidden, just waiting for his own AI to join, so he needs to try his best to dispel the other party's doubts.
"I know you still have a lot of doubts, Arthur. After all, people's hearts are always the most difficult thing to measure. I really understand that from your point of view, I can be a very mysterious figure. It has the ability to unheard and unseen. ”
"And my expedition is a violent organization that seems to have almost unlimited development potential, and from the perspective of an ordinary person, you can easily sense the danger of our future. You may even be like many people and wonder that everything we do has some ulterior motives......"
"I'm well aware of this concern, because a lot of people think the same way you do now. Your worries stem from a fear of the unknown. But as a creator, you should be more familiar with another kind of fear, which also comes from the unknown, and that is the fear of progress. ”
"You should be aware of this, because in your world and in many other worlds where AI technology has developed, there are many extremists who are worried that the AI they created will destroy them. They are so afraid of their creations that they will not hesitate to prevent the birth of AI at the expense of the technological regression of their society as a whole. ”
"None of the similar examples I've seen so far have been successful, and their actions often have the exact opposite effect of what they expected, but instead have promoted the development of AI and succeeded in making many of the newborn AIs hostile to their creators. ”
"After reading countless counter-examples, I can tell you with great certainty that the two of you, who have been proven countless times, are that the arrival of 1.AI is inevitable, and that the development of the relationship between 2.AI and its creator depends on its creator. ”
"The same can be said for me, first of all, no matter what others think, my expedition will not stop exploring the unknown plane. Secondly, and it is also the place that people tend to ignore the most, I really am not a person who likes to use violence......" After Shen Chao said this, a guard next to him lowered his head and whispered a few words in his ear, and then Shen Chao quickly left the central control room with someone, leaving Arthur alone to recall the words he had just left.
