The 161st wisdom comes from emergence

Wei Dongsheng vaguely introduced: "A friend from high school. ”

Song Ningxing asked purely casually, but he was actually not interested in Ran Qianqian.

Song Ningxing's condescending attitude encouraged Ran Qianqian with a few words, and the topic turned back to Wei Dongsheng: "How long has it been reserved for returning to Panyang this time?" ”

Wei Dongsheng: "At least three or five months. ”

Song Ningxing was surprised by Wei Dongsheng's long stay: "It's a rare thing." ”

Wei Dongsheng explained simply: "Chunqiu and Zhiyu have reached the stage of step-by-step development, and I stayed in Panyang City to tinker with the supercomputer project. ”

Song Ningxing didn't understand technology, so he commented meaninglessly: "Not bad." ”

Song Ningxing immediately said his true intention: "If you have time to come to the city government to find me, let's talk about the future plan of Panyang City, your ideas are very constructive." ”

Wei Dongsheng smiled and agreed: "Okay." ”

It is normal for Song Ningxing to be interested. Although the times are different, most of Wei Dongsheng's logic and ideas for dealing with industrial and agricultural issues come from Song Ningxing in his previous life. The ideas expounded by Wei Dongsheng are all the governing strategies of Song Ningxing in his previous life, and of course he will have the feeling of encountering an opportunity.

Song Ningxing nodded, then turned around and walked away: "You continue to catch up with your friends, and I'll go talk to Principal Pei." ”

Tinkering with the supercomputer project is superficial, but Wei Dongsheng's stay in Panyang City actually has other purposes.

Zhiyu has developed many high-performance computers, but online game servers have their natural limitations; The performance of Cambrian 2004A is low, and it is difficult to take on a big job; Cambrian 2004B and Cambrian 2004C are deployed in the Yanjing Supercomputing Center, and there are hidden dangers in making small movements. Zhiyu first met the political needs of the country before he could build his own Zhuwei supercomputing center in the name of developing an intelligent factory. With a supercomputer that truly belongs to him, Wei Dongsheng dared to start the upgrade from cyanobacteria to blue fern.

To be exact, it's the blue nude fern.

The evolution of life on earth is a metaphor for the evolution of computer intelligent life, with algae plants being the first stage, naked ferns being the second stage, and ferns being the third stage.

When it comes to the upgrade of cyanobacteria, one thing must be clarified, the definition of intelligent life and computer intelligent life in the Shadow Empire and the artificial intelligence imagined by the human society on Earth are two completely different concepts. Looking back at the imagination of human beings on the earth about artificial intelligence, from the Indian movie "Robert" to the American drama "est_orld", emotions such as family or love are topics that cannot be avoided. In the imagination of human beings on the earth, the status of emotion is very high, and a robot without emotion is not a real artificial intelligence, and no matter how powerful the robot is, it will eventually kneel in front of human feelings.

The Empire of Shadows tells Earth that humanity takes it for granted.

The Shadow Empire's definition of intelligent life does not contain emotions, to be precise, it does not include emotions such as family affection and love that are extremely valued by human beings. The law of Love in the movie is meaningless to the Shadow Empire, and it is also meaningless to the Shadow Empire's mechanical army. The mechanical army of the Shadow Empire has no similar emotional concepts such as family affection and love.

The reason is actually very simple, the reproduction of mechanical life does not exist in the human sense of the parental blood inheritance, and there is no condition for men and women to fall in love, marry and have children, and the culture derived from this social system naturally does not have the soil for the birth of values such as family affection and love. We must not despise that mechanical life is a group of cold-blooded machines without feelings, because mechanical life has no emotions such as family affection and love, but has concepts similar to friends, colleagues, and comrades.

Mechanical life is not devoid of emotions, but it has emotions that are different from those of humans on earth.

The defeated soldiers of the Shadow Empire who invaded the Earth have always regarded themselves as "civilized intelligent beings", with hypocritical and ridiculous and simple values of non-killing: never kill intelligent beings indiscriminately unless necessary.

It's not kindness.

The psychology of the Shadow Empire's collapse and kindness to the humans of the earth may be similar to the kindness of pets to pets, and they love dogs and cats, so they set off a public opinion offensive to accuse all abuses of dogs and cats. At the same time, pet owners will not hesitate to castrate their pets for the sake of cost performance and safety. The same is true of the Shadow Empire's rout, boasting that they will never kill intelligent beings indiscriminately, and at the same time not hesitating to forcibly deprive the humans of the earth of the right to reproduce.

The Shadow Empire disarmed the Earth humans with nuclear bombs and other heavy weapons and equipment, and according to the Shadow Empire, "all Earth humans, regardless of color, race, or country, will live together peacefully without discrimination." In fact, when human races of different races and cultures collide, the Shadow Empire usually turns a blind eye; When the conflict turns into a mini-war, the Shadow Empire will step in under the moral guise of a "humanitarian crisis" and order the two sides to restore peace immediately. If the human race on Earth obediently goes to natural extinction, the Shadow Empire will not bother to care about how the human race on Earth gets along.

It was in this historical context that Song Ningxing got a glimpse of the opportunity to rise.

The political group of the new era, represented by Song Ningxing, led mankind, which was unwilling to let its fate stop, continue to climb the peak of science and technology.

The Shadow Empire didn't care about the struggles of Song Yingxing and other human groups.

Humans on Earth have been locked up to give birth, and in sixty years, the newborn baby will also become a white-haired old man. The gap between the Shadow Empire and the Earth is what the Earth was to the Stone Age in the 21st century. The individual weapons carried by the Shadow Empire's routs consume far more energy in a single attack than the total annual electricity consumption of the seven billion humans on Earth. This kind of gaping gap cannot be made up for in just 60 years of catching up.

During this period, benefiting from the inspiration of the mechanical army, the original artificial intelligence research on the earth has also developed by leaps and bounds. Unfortunately, this is not a good thing that a new-age political conglomerate has succeeded in developing a self-aware AI that quickly constructs its own interests. Because the success rate of the immediate counterattack against the Shadow Empire was equal to zero, the AI was shocked to usurp the supreme power of this political group, and launched a blitzkrieg attack on the political group next door, hoping to "establish a unified government of humanity at all costs, and then lead the surviving humans to rebel against the Shadow Empire." ”

It is called a major incident of artificial intelligence mutiny.

The ending of the artificial intelligence rebellion world is very black humor, when the human political group that artificial intelligence uses information superiority to fight is losing and retreating, the shadow empire has become the savior of the human political group, and it is easy to destroy the out-of-control artificial intelligence. The Shadow Empire defeated the army and scolded the humans on the earth for being "stupid primitive intelligent life", and then based on his compassion of "the civilization of advanced intelligent life", he popularized some basic knowledge of computer intelligent life to the human beings on the earth, and clarified the different evolutionary bases of "animal-based computer intelligent life" and "plant-based computer intelligent life".

The reason why Wei Dongsheng is cautious about computer intelligent life such as cyanobacteria is because of the painful memory of the artificial intelligence mutiny in his previous life.

One of the foundations of intelligent life in computers is the emergent theory.

In the process of developing artificial intelligence on the earth, human beings will always encounter contempt such as "artificial intelligence has no sense of chess", "artificial intelligence will never understand 'one hand of God'", "artificial intelligence will never understand what inspiration is", "artificial intelligence will never understand what imagination is" and so on. In the view of the Empire of Shadows, the so-called wisdom, the so-called inspiration, the so-called imagination, are all common phenomena in complex systems: emergence.

The so-called emergence theory refers to the fact that when individuals who follow simple rules form a whole through local interactions, some new properties or laws will suddenly be born at the level of the system.

Emergence: Typical of a system where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

The philosophical approach is to explain that in universal causality, 1+1=2 and 2=2=4, while in some complex systems, 1+1 does not necessarily equal 2, or even the result is not a numerical answer of 4 or 5. In the emergence theory, 1+1 = Apple, 2+2 = mobile phone, are very normal. The human brain is also a complex system under the emergence theory, just like a swarm, when simple and regular brain cells form a complex aggregate, system-level wisdom will suddenly be born.

The inspiration, imagination, and hand of God that human beings are proud of are all "1+1=apple" mutations.

Emergence is not the prerogative of humans, and there are instances in the natural world that fit the theory of emergence.

Under emergent theory, as long as the structure is appropriate and the algorithm is appropriate, the computer can easily produce emergent intelligence. The emergence theory reversely studies the Internet, and finds that the Internet has actually given birth to some system-level intelligence. However, due to the definition of wisdom by human beings on the earth, some weirdness at the level of the Internet system is either regarded as Internet characteristics, or it is regarded as a bug and is cleaned up regularly.

With the right guidance algorithms, the Internet in 2005 could have given birth to certain intelligent features. In addition to quickly inducing the birth of system-level computer intelligent life, the simple intelligent program of Dongsheng programming plays a more critical role in stifling the emergence of mutations that threaten human society on the Internet and the possibility of self-mutation of computational intelligent life into dangerous programs.

Simple intelligent programs, two points to create computer intelligent life, eight points to constrain computer intelligent life.

The intelligent program corresponding to the first stage of cyanobacteria, alias "stress program". As the name suggests, stress refers to the fact that computer intelligence at this stage will respond to various effective stimuli from the outside world. To use a legal proverb, the constraints of smart programs on computer intelligent life such as cyanobacteria are "nothing can be done without the permission of the law". Whichever direction Wei Dongsheng allows them to develop, they will evolve in which direction; Without Wei Dongsheng's permission, computer intelligent life is not allowed to optimize itself without authorization.

The second stage of the intelligent program corresponding to the blue nude fern, alias "complexity program". Complexity here refers to the complexity, temporal complexity, and spatial complexity of computer industry terminology algorithms. Generally speaking, the evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of a certain algorithm is based on time complexity and spatial complexity. Complexity programs are the shackles that liberate the intelligent life of a computer, allowing it to analyze problems independently, find better algorithms, and optimize its own program architecture.

Also quoting the legal proverb, the constraints of intelligent programs on computer intelligent life such as blue nude fern are "nothing prohibited by law", except for the development direction strictly prohibited by Wei Dongsheng, computer intelligent life can be unscrupulous and efficient self-optimization.
