The 369th band rhythm

The gold medal commentator continued to talk eloquently: "The brain in the jar is often cited as some philosophical concepts, and Fu Shichun's idealism is no exception. Fu Shichun's idealism is an extension of the brain in a jar, he believes that any matter can be described with information, and the entire universe is also a large collection of information, at least the earth technology tree cannot falsify the universe in our eyes may be just a cloud of information data similar to online games. ”

"Suppose that human beings are left with only normal thinking brains, or then deny the physical properties of the brain to the extreme, and treat the thinking brain as an artificial intelligence program. You may argue that no matter how artificial intelligence programs are, they also need hard disks and processors. Fu Shichun's idealism is relative idealism, if the brain is a mass of artificial intelligence programs, and the entire universe is also virtualized by a supercomputer, then this supercomputer no longer belongs to this universe. Before we tracked this supercomputer, we were limited to the small cage of the universe, and it was inevitable that consciousness determined matter. ”

"The so-called consciousness of Fu Shichun's idealism is not so much consciousness as a collection of information. The set here is the set of mathematical set theory, which was laid down by the German mathematician Cantor in the 70s of the last century. Fu Shichun's idealism believes that the universe may be a logical collection of information, the brain may also be just a logical collection of information, and the interaction between the brain and the outside world may also have and only information exchange. In this case, the so-called natural laws of the universe may just be the brain passively receiving some information data, which is very similar to the online game update expansion. If the human brain is a logical collection of information, and the earth and even the universe are also a collection of information logic, and there is no matter in the entire universe, where does the primacy of matter come from? ”

Fu Shichun has also done a lot of research on the supercomputer beyond the universe, and his supporters and opponents have launched many interesting philosophical speculations on it. However, I'm not a graduate of the Department of Philosophy, so I don't think everyone is interested in philosophical speculation, so I won't talk about the deeper content. ”

"Back to CR-18, Fu Shichun's idealism is its guiding ideology, and the logical paradox of the brain in a vat is its model."

"The brain in a jar is a logical paradox, and if you ignore the supercomputer that simulates the universe and assume that the brain in a jar is true for reasoning, this problem is unsolvable. Confined to the simulated universe, matter can never determine consciousness, because that supercomputer is the real source of the universe. The Imaging Reality Equipment Laboratory has no intention of worrying about whether the world is materialistic or idealistic, they just want to simply build a supercomputer, and they just want to simply simulate a universe. ”

"The three primary colors tell us that light has no color, and that it is the eye that has color. Light waves to the retina, nerve signals to the brain, is this the transmission of information or the transmission of matter? From the point of view of detail, it is definitely the transport of matter, and the photochemical reaction of the photosensitive pigment determines the color that the eye sees. However, the brain perceives color not as a direct interaction between light waves and the brain, from the photochemical reaction of photosensitive pigments to the propagation of nerve signals, it can artificially interfere with the material transmission process, and then change the information that the brain finally receives. ”

"For example, interfering with the photochemical reaction of the long optic cone, human beings with normal trichromatic vision instantly become red-green blind; For example, if it interferes with the transmission of nerve signals from the retina to the brain, color vision can be confused instantly. While countless literary works praise the perfection of human beings, the brutal truth is that we humans are very fragile, not only in our musculoskeletal structure, but also in the nerve signal transmission or brain-level thinking that we are proud of. ”

"Back to CR-18, CR-18 is the supercomputer outside the universe, and the virtual world represented by virtual table tennis is the virtual universe of the brain in a jar built by CR-18. Why does the table tennis ball in everyone's hand feel so real that it can't be more real, and why can the palm and back of the hand without electromagnetic signal patches feel the texture and weight of the virtual table tennis ball? The reason is simple, this Internet café equipped with CR-18 is actually dotted with countless stereo cameras, which observe the interaction with you and the table tennis ball in real time, and then calculate the information data through the physical model, and then convert it into brain electromagnetic signals to transmit to your nervous system. ”

"In short, in addition to the information data generated by the photochemical reaction of the retina, CR-18 transmits new information data to the brain. The back of the hand does not touch the virtual table tennis ball, but the CR-18 can simulate the nerve signal of the back of the hand touching the table tennis ball, so that the brain can mistakenly believe that it has actually touched the table tennis ball. ”

It's the three primary colors again, and it's idealism again, and the gold medal commentator tirelessly rambles at length.

The principle of the CR-18 is actually very simple, it is nothing more than input and output.

In the early days of the brain-computer fusion project, only the brain electromagnetic signals could be read and analyzed, but now the brain-computer fusion project team can simply and rudely input brain electromagnetic signals to the brain, -18 can input brain electromagnetic signals, and can also output brain electromagnetic signals, and that's it. Electromagnetic signal patches are only auxiliary equipment, not critical equipment. Even if there is no electromagnetic patch on the back of the hand to collect information, the CR-18 can interfere from other parts and output a virtual signal that confuses the human brain.

The principle is simple, but the truth is frightening.

Despite its primitiveness, the CR-18 is the prototype of the brain-in-a-vat paradox.

Assuming that the CR-18 continues to develop, the Spring and Autumn Group has developed a video reality device that can completely cut off the connection between the brain and the real world. Imagine other dark images, suppose a normal human A is stunned, and without his knowledge, he is sent to the video reality device, and the person behind the scenes manipulates the video reality device to edit all kinds of evil events in the virtual world to abuse normal human A, so that the unjustifiable virtual story collapses the values of normal human A. Then, quietly dismantle the image reality equipment, so that normal human A can return to the real world. Normal human A does not know that the experience of the virtual world is actually a virtual edit, and after returning to reality, he rushes to the "enemy" with red eyes and anger to take revenge, thus indirectly becoming the killing tool of the behind-the-scenes operator.

A little divergent thinking imagines the power of the CR-18, and the future is chilling.

Of course, not everyone is so pessimistic.

Some people are optimistic about the future, such as Wei Dongsheng, Ji Susu and other researchers in the brain-computer fusion project team.

More people don't bother to think about the dark picture, and simply think about the CR-18 as an entertainment game.

The so-called virtual game helmet and virtual game cabin are actually more advanced virtual reality equipment than CR-18, but how many of these virtual online game enthusiasts have thought deeply about the huge impact of science and technology at the level of virtual game helmets on the whole society, and how many people have thought deeply about the illegal application of virtual game helmet-level technology? If the virtual game world becomes a brain world in a jar where it is difficult to distinguish between real and fake, what kind of ethics and morality will be born in the future society?

Such discussions are rarely seen.

Online games can't be blamed, because genre is genre after all, and the highlight and selling point is not the impact of virtual game helmet level science and technology on the future society.

On the contrary, this kind of optimism can counteract the ethical and moral pressure of brain-computer research projects to the greatest extent.

If the media public opinion leads the public not to think about the shadow behind the CR-18 or to underestimate the subversive impact of the CR-18 series of devices on society, the development of the brain-computer fusion project is bound to be smoother, and there is no need to cause panic among clones like the cloned sheep Dolly. Achieved the cloning of Dolly the sheep and ruined the research of cloning people, such an ethical and moral tragedy, the brain-computer fusion project team did not want to happen to themselves.

Therefore, instead of criticizing the weak plot of virtual online games, Spring and Autumn Group consciously encouraged the development of virtual online games. Virtual gamesOnline games are limited by the subject matter, and they have become non-popular themes after being popular for a while. In order to achieve subtle publicity, Spring and Autumn Network cooperates with Spring and Autumn Literature to hold essay contests every once in a while, ignoring objective factors such as whether there is a market for virtual games and whether they can make money, and consciously encourages online authors to write positive works that dilute the impact of virtual game helmets on the future society; In the name of imagining the future, Spring and Autumn Search also encourages a group of science fiction authors and online authors to create positive works that praise or neutralize virtual reality devices.

Spring and Autumn doesn't care if these works make money.

What Spring and Autumn wants is public opinion.

Or rather, public opinion anesthesia.

As long as public opinion downplays the moral and ethical crisis that may arise from the brain-computer fusion project, Spring and Autumn will win.

Looking back at the past 2012, Spring and Autumn has funded about 120 million yuan in the field of literature. Even if there is no market for virtual online game works, a grant of 120 million yuan can support 120 medium-class writers with an average annual income of 1 million yuan. The requirements of Spring and Autumn for these authors are very simple, I don't care whether I pay money and lose money to operate, I only care about whether the work is positive energy, and I only care about whether the work can influence public opinion with rhythm. As long as the rhythm of public opinion is brought up, Spring and Autumn and these literary and artistic creators are a win-win situation.

In addition, Spring and Autumn Group is planning Spring and Autumn Pictures.

With the development of Spring and Autumn Video, with the development of life service e-commerce, and as the Chinese cultural market becomes more and more vast, the establishment of Spring and Autumn Pictures is a natural result. Wei Dongsheng doesn't understand Chinese film and television entertainment, and he is too lazy to spend time studying the development prospects of Chinese film and television, so he pays little attention to Spring and Autumn Pictures. As long as Spring and Autumn Pictures is not so bad that it has become a stain on the Spring and Autumn Group, Wei Dongsheng is too lazy to make drastic rectifications himself.
