Chapter 242: Thoughts
"This one looks familiar." Hodge blurted out as he looked at the pattern displayed on the virtual image.
Tony smirked, "Have you forgotten the one your girlfriend wore on her wrist?" The armor I gave her was made from this model. β
"But I was going to build a whole machine qì person, the kind with a high level of intelligence, but it's a pity that ......" At this point, the smugness on Tony's face slowly retracted.
Hodge glanced at Tony, who looked distressed, in surprise, and immediately asked, "Unfortunately, what's wrong?" Could it be that something went wrong with the process of making zuΓ²? β
Tony shook his head, reached out and swiped lightly in front of him, turning off the image, and then explained: "It's not this problem, although a complete machine is very complicated, but this is not difficult for me, the key problem is the core intelligent program that it can match." β
"Isn't Jarvis okay too?" Hodge asked, and all Tony could get his hands on was Jarvis, an artificial intelligence assistant.
Jarvis is Tony's AI butler, super intelligent software, can think independently, and will help Tony deal with various affairs and calculate all kinds of information.
And Tony's mecha development and the update of the Ark Reactor are inseparable from its assistance, although the energy source used by Tony is not the Ark Reactor now, but it is still helping Tony to improve and update the calculation formula of nuclear fusion and some necessary information.
"Please, will you let your butler go out to fight? And Jarvis's main functions are more focused on computing and information processing, and what I want is a new combat superintelligence. β
Tony rolled his eyes. Then he walked with Hodge to his desk in the real room, "Jarvis, how much progress has been made in Ultron's core intelligence?" β
"Thirty percent. Sirγ Jarvis's metallic voice replied scrutinically.
"What is this?" Hodge craned his neck, stared at Tony's computer screen, and began to ask questions like a curious baby.
"A new smart program, modeled after Jarvis, removes the useless features and rejoins some combat programs, but it may be a year and a half away from completion. Maybe longer. β
Tony shrugged his shoulders and answered Hodge's questions and turned off the computer. Tony turned to Hodge and said, "I suppose you asked me for Jarvis's source code to configure a core intelligence for your self-made machine, right?" β
Hodge nodded, no excuse, he had intended to do this.
"You see that now, too, though I don't mind giving you Jarvis's source code. But do you want to know how long it took Jarvis to learn to get to this high intelligence? β
Hodge was not given a chance to speak. Tony said the answer directly: "Ten years! After it was manufactured, it took ten years of learning and evolution to have its current Cheng dΓΉ. β
"If you insist on it, you need to spend a year or two writing the new core intelligence, and then wait a dozen years for it to learn on its own."
Decade!
Hodge twitched the corners of his mouth, he could wait ten years, could Melissa wait?
Could it be that my own thinking was wrong from the beginning? Hodge's heart sank, and his face became ugly.
Seeing Hodge's face change suddenly. Tony was also shocked at the moment, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry. The one I just said is normal. β
Hodge's expression was stunned, and he looked at Tony with an innocent face.
"Normal practice? Is there any other way you can do it? Hodge asked, impatiently.
"Of course! Do you want my invention to be delayed for more than a decade? Come on, I don't like antiques. Tony grinned.
Hodge was not in the mood to joke with Tony at this time, after all, he still knew the priority of the matter very clearly, and his breathing became short, and he asked, "What way?" β
Looking at Hodge's impatient appearance, Tony suddenly felt a little bored: "You don't have any humor at all, let's cancel its self-learning ability, and then add functions such as collecting data jΓΉ, we can manually add some new functions through the information it collects after each battle." β
"Doing so makes it a little weaker, but it makes it easier for me."
After listening to Tony's approach, Hodge was stunned, what is the difference between saying this and not saying it? What he wants is an intelligent machine that can assist him in the research and development together, even if others are not there, these people can arrange the next plan by themselves through the numbers collected in the process.
And the only one who meets this criterion is Tony's super-intelligent Jarvis.
But Tony definitely won't 'lend' Jarvis to him, and even if Tony is willing to borrow it, Hodge won't dare to use it, who knows if Jarvis will eventually send Tony a copy of his genetic map or something.
With Tony's temperament, he got Hodge's genetic map, and even if he didn't study it himself, it was very unsafe.
Because his company is mixed with a large number of commercial spies, agents and a series of other characters, don't you see that Tony often complains that his company's information has been stolen?
Although those materials are some dispensable 'outdated' products, these materials are still high-tech that can make the outside world crazy for a while.
If something related to his genes was stolen by these people, Hodge couldn't imagine what would happen.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Tony couldn't help but ask when he saw Hodge standing there in a daze.
Hodge, who came back to his senses, glanced at Tony helplessly, and then said with some embarrassment: "Although your method is very good, what I want is a super intelligence that can assist me in researching and designing together." β
"I'll give you a copy of Jarvis's source code, and you'll figure out the rest." After listening to Hodge's words, Tony was stunned for a moment, and then said his thoughts very directly.
β¦β¦
Looking at the back of Hodge's departure, Tony was also very helpless in his heart, the kind of advanced AI that Hodge wanted could not be completed overnight.
Every advanced AI needs to spend countless funds and time to complete little by little, including Jarvis in his hands.
He spent countless resources combined with Jarvis's self-learning speed, and that's it, and it took more than a decade.
At this time, Hodge also left slowly with the information given to him by Tony, and after listening to Tony's words as a great inventor, Hodge suddenly found that his idea was too simple.
Intelligent programs are not so easy to design and invent, and it seems that I take it for granted.
However, although this matter is difficult, Hodge still decided to do it, after all, the tone is indifferent and worried, it is better to go on one step at a time, maybe when there will be a turnaround?
For example, alien technology! (To be continued......)
