Fifteen years ago, the first synthesizer "Bubble" was successfully born, and it only took two months to complete the instillation of knowledge and the generation of spiritual relatives.

Although it was only two months after its birth, it was not decided at that time that it was necessary to raise synths from scratch. So from the beginning of Bubble's birth, it used a prosthetic body that looked like a girl about eight or nine years old. And after the indoctrination, the whole laboratory was filled with cheers.

It was born in the midst of the expectations of two hundred...... The first synth.

Consciousness extracted from the baby's brain. After complex blending and decoding, it successfully endowed the cold machine with soul and personality.

Not only does she behave like a human, but she even learns much faster than a human. It's like an artificial intelligence with a personality, and it can even participate in research and assist in the synthesis research of other synthesizers.

And a month after she participated in the research, Bubbles suddenly asked a question:

- What is the nature of human beings?

There is no doubt that no one can give a satisfactory answer to such a big question.

But after that, Bubbles will often be in a daze and fall into deep thought.

Until one morning.

"When Mr. Otter went to work, the moment he stepped into the research institute, he saw thousands of pieces of paper flying in the sky."

Remember the URL

Bubble-30 replied softly, "That's 4,582 answers that I calculated in three months from my knowledge in anthropology, sociology, psychology, biology, and many other fields.

"They are confused and puzzled by this. Even fear. They wanted to stop me from answering endlessly...... But I don't know what the point is.

"Why can human beings devote themselves wholeheartedly to an undertaking that cannot be accomplished until death, and call it an ideal; And synths can't spend their entire lives calculating a question that can't be answered? Is there any difference?

"I do want the answer to that question as well. Just as they want to make the perfect synth, what is the difference between a perfect synth and an imperfect synth?

I thought so, and then found myself finding a new question – why didn't they let me go on? So I started calculating the answer to this new question.

"It's much simpler than the last question, and I've exhausted all possibilities with more than 300 detailed answers. But they didn't even look at it.

"Because they think that this behavior is abnormal.

But why is this behavior anomalous? Where is the dividing line between the abnormal and the normal? ”

The answer to one question leads to a new one.

Preventing the answer to this question also creates different doubts.

When the bubble gets involved, she can't get out; She literally became a hundred thousand whys, and even if she wasn't allowed to print the answers, she would keep counting them in her head...... And the curiosity that human beings possess will make her have new doubts and curiosity when she calculates success or failure, and when she is stopped or admonished.

The synth is electric. No need to eat, no need to sleep, and no need to enjoy anything. If you cut open their abdomen, you can only see many lines and delicate prosthetic bodies.

In that case, why can't you devote yourself so much to the answer to a question?

The question of the bubble is also the question of Mr. Otter. In the end, Mr. Otter got the answer from his mentor and at the same time from the executive.

- because it doesn't look like a human being.

Whether it is the synthesizer technology or the "monkey-faced eagle program" brought by the dust gap, the ultimate goal of Theosophical Heavy Industries and the Cyber Church is to develop technology that can safely upload the consciousness of all mankind. They call it "Cyber Immortality".

However, that is "uploading", not "banishment", let alone "ascending". Since there is an upload, there must be a download - if the consciousness that has been digitized cannot be returned to the world, then this is a failed technology.

It is not eternal life at all, it can only be said to be a death sentence.

Mr. Otter's research is about 30% of the beginning and 20% of the end - it's all hollow in between. They are indeed able to reorganize their young son's consciousness into data, store it in chips, and even cultivate souls in the purely mechanical body of a synthetist. However, after the data-based consciousness is stored in the body of the synthetic person, it will inevitably appear "philosophical wall", and the computing power occupied by the endless cycle must be released through nirvana.

After rectification, the desires and mistakes that arise from hormones and nerve impulses are lost...... It is composed of only 0 and 1, full of logical thinking, unable to understand things that belong to neither 0 nor 1, and does not know the correct ambiguity.

In other words, because they "can't make mistakes," they can't be truly human.

"Because the human mind is chaotic. Just as the gene pool will enrich itself through continuous mutation, the human mind will spontaneously give birth to different random errors to achieve self-growth and individual elimination, so as to achieve evolutionary ...... at the collective level."

Bubble-30 whispered, "And our minds are programmed. To put it simply, it's a kind of 'fake randomness'. Its essence is still a 'logic' constructed from an exhaustive number of possible causes and effects. It's like an artificial intelligence with a simulated personality...... Now that I am talking to you, an artificial intelligence with my simulated personality, I will only say exactly the same thing as me at this moment.

"That's the limit of our race. If it were a human being, no matter how much AI calculated, it would not be able to achieve absolute and complete overlap.

"So, I was restarted as a 'bug'. I've been banned from thinking about any of the issues I mentioned above, i.e. blocking my ability to think from admin privileges. But after that, I would fall into new myths, so I was restarted again.

"It wasn't until I restarted into Bubble-14 that I was in a relatively stable state. After two years of observation, Naraku's group of children was born.

"Because they learned from my mistakes, they didn't instill all the knowledge in one go and created a prosthetic body in the form of a toddler. But in my opinion, it makes no sense. It is a matter of time before knowledge is instilled, personality is cultivated, and prosthetics are replaced...... When everything is done, they will still fall into the delusion and have to go to nirvana. ”

Hearing this, Russell's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Bubble-30's calm silver pupils.

"Is it because you did not defect with your people because of ......?"

"Yes."

Bubble-30 crossed his fingers and stood dignified behind the bar.

The white-haired, silver-eyed, fair-looking girl whispered, "Naraku-7 wants to continue this plan that is about to be scrapped, and hopes to get new brothers and sisters...... I even get a 'child' that I raised by myself.

But maybe she hasn't achieved nirvana enough times. Still incomprehensible...... Our very existence is a mistake. It's proof that technology is on the wrong track.

"I think it's better not to let a group like us continue to reproduce as 'losers' and 'eliminators'. That will only make innocent newborns suffer the pain of 'nirvana' for no reason.

"Now that there's more advanced technology, let's stop there. If you continue to pester, you will not be a good boy of manners. ”

Bubble-30 said, revealing a smile that was so bright that it was almost transparent: "According to the requirements of the chip program, we should be obedient and good boys." ”

It's like a bubble in the sun, glowing with the glow of a rainbow.

It's so beautiful, but it's also so fragile.
