-Freely.

The "freedom" that many people have struggled for all their lives on Happiness Island and can't get is so easy to obtain on Sogo Island-

In Happiness Island, when a child is just beginning to read and write.... Even before learning to read, when they use their brains to watch animations or early education programs, they will be inundated with advertisements purchased by major manufacturers.

Advertisements specially used for young children can be several times more expensive than the promotion slots of ordinary advertisements. After all, being able to imperceptibly implant brand awareness in a child's ignorant state may be more effective than playing ten ads to adults.

And before these children go to school, their preferences, spending power, and home addresses are sold to major advertisers. From the time they are born until they die, they will be watched by an endless stream of eyes, completely inundated by endless advertisements, and completely incapable of rejecting these peepers.

She may have nothing to do when she watched an entertainment video, because her eyes stayed on the young lady's clothes in the video for a few more seconds, and immediately popped up a "guess what you want" recommendation of the same style, and even directly pulled a bunch of limited-time coupons; And when he is playing a game, he accidentally has too much krypton and the deposit is sold out, and a "zero interest rate for the first 30 days" loan software recommendation will immediately appear......

As long as the price is right, all human privacy can be bought—Russell and Delphinium's colleagues in cyber security are also guilty of self-theft and stealing women. Even Delfinch, the head of the Special Enforcement Department, had to apply for permission to obtain personal information, but someone would secretly trade it directly to the boss who paid it. You don't even have to buy from the Cyber Security Department of Tianen Group.... As long as you hire a psionic hacker of similar level, you can directly hack into the opponent's chip, and directly grab the opponent's chat history, friend email, credit balance and other information, not to mention those private photos and files in the "encrypted folder".

The biggest use of throwing an "encrypted folder" in their personal space is to save the thief's time as much as possible when their chips are stolen, so that these psionic hackers will not get angry and make a mess of their things because they can't find what they want.

For example, secretly changing the notes of the other person's friends, or manipulating the other person to donate their savings to the cyber church, the flow of credits can be traced 100%, so it is difficult to make a profit in this way. But if you just want to make the other party lose money, you can donate in the other person's name.

As we all know, donations to cyber churches are never to go back...... Otherwise, it will become an effective and stable means of concealing assets.

Even memories and souls are searched regularly every month—the unique technologies of Happiness Island are memory censorship, memory rewriting, and memory erasure techniques. This is where the review of "happiness" comes from.....

As long as you give up thinking and live comfortably, you will live a very happy life on the island of happiness.

Because Tianen Group will definitely be able to let them survive..... Residents of Happiness Island, as long as they are happy enough, do not need to worry about unemployment, let alone worry about not being able to support themselves. Although they work a little longer, their income is actually stable enough to support themselves and their families.

Moreover, the large number of high-quality entertainment works provided by Happiness Island can also effectively improve their "happiness" - endless excellent games, endless interesting variety shows and language programs are just basic. There are more than a dozen excellent movies screened every week, more than 200 TV dramas and animations are covered every day, more than 40 kinds of games are played, various entertainment venues are varied, and the food culture is second only to Taoyuan Island..... All of them have truly realized the full coverage of residents' hobbies.

If you're looking for a little more thrilling, you can also buy dangerous drugs, kidnapped living people, or extraordinarily exciting and even taboo movies from the lower town. In Happiness Island, only the "trafficker" will be held accountable, and the buyer will be innocent..... At most, they will only be warned by the company they belong to. Because they are just pursuing happiness.

In order to maintain one's own happiness, this is also "helpless".

As long as people are willing to give up thinking and stop rebelling against the company

If you rule, you will truly attain "happiness". Instead, they cannot escape the company's surveillance and control for the rest of their lives.

And all this..... In Sogo it's almost the exact opposite.

The inhabitants of Sogo are exhausted by their brains and constantly learning to improve themselves, just to be able to get as stable a job as possible. It's something you don't have to worry about at all on Happiness Island, and you can easily get it even if you don't go to school.

Either they have to try to hold their hands in the Sogo group...... Do everything you can to get the top 60 percent, stay as long as you can;

Either they rely on the experience and skills they have learned from the Sogo Group to start their own business after being eliminated, or they are invited to join other companies. They may be able to be happy for a while, but Sogo's iterative technology will change the entire market sooner or later. At that point, "unemployment" will become a terrifying wave of manifestation, destroying the sandcastles they have built in an instant.

Their lives will be destroyed in an instant, and they will be plunged back into the fear of "unemployment". 「..... Is it so hard to find a job in Sogo?"

Delphinium couldn't help but ask.

"yes," Russell sighed, "it's really hard to find.

"Artificial intelligence has replaced most of the repetitive tasks..... On Sogo Island, there are no taxis, no logisticians, no couriers, and no truck drivers running around on Happiness Island every day. There is no maid in the house, and there is no driver for travel. All of these services are "unmanned..... Gratuitous.

"There are no security guards in the community, and there are no security personnel in the bank. There was no one in the various service windows, just cold robots—not even robots, just a panel. More services are directly networked, and they can be easily completed at home without going to the service window.

"The hotel doesn't need to hire waiters, because its own machine servants can directly become the best waiters by finding someone to brush the machine. The price of a machine servant is so cheap that even college students who have not graduated can have it, and people have even achieved symbiosis with their own machine servants..... ＂

Russell scoffed, "Even Miss Street has a more obedient, cleaner servant to replace her. The money required to modify the shape of one's own servant or modify the personalike is the price of a synthetic steak.

"People who don't have a job are people who don't have a job. No one wants them to do anything – because they have no value.

"Jobs that can be replaced, there are cheap artificial intelligence to replace them; Those fields that artificial intelligence has not set foot in for the time being have been involved to an outrageous extent, and the barriers to entry are incredibly high. How can those who have been abandoned because of their lack of ability compare to the old people who have been proficient in this field and have been deeply involved in this profession for I don't know how many years?

"It's like Happiness Island being 'downgraded from work' because of lack of happiness. On Sogo, once you fall into the loser, you will be eliminated.

"If their original status is high enough, there will be more 'room for elimination'...... It's like a few more lives.

"But basically speaking, most people will be eliminated. They can live, in fact, relying on the stable monthly payment of Sogo Island.

"They don't have to worry about food and clothing, they don't have to worry about starvation. But what they have lost is "hope."

「..... But," Delphinium frowned, "then there should be a more developed entertainment industry here than Happy Island, right?"

"That's because entertainment here is seen as a taboo, a shame, a poison. Because the best people at the top of the pyramid don't have the time or leisure to do that..... Therefore, if you can't improve your "entertainment", you will be seen as a "sign of a loser."

"But since so many people are unemployed, it should be just a need."

"Yes, so the various entertainment chips flowing from Happiness Island can fetch quite high prices here. Most of the time, the black market is traded in an unknown number of pirated chips stuffed with viruses. The rarest thing about Sogo is the creator of the content..... People need entertainment though, but

There are not good enough people who want to work in the entertainment industry.

"—Because here, money doesn't matter anymore.

"After the vast majority of services have become free and the most basic food, clothing, shelter and transportation can be guaranteed; In the case that the road to power cannot be obtained even if it climbs to the highest place, the people who are slightly pursuing it and are not yet rotten have become "famous". Or, rather, "social status – that is, the respect of people."

"The Three Sages do not prohibit the development of the entertainment industry, yet there is a spontaneous disdain for it – or I prefer to call it, fear. A ..... [Fear of Destiny] that is aware of the future and is still trying to prevent the arrival of the future."

Many people have given up on this endless chase and just want to live comfortably.

But the idealists in the middle, who have fallen behind, but are still chasing the large army farther and farther ahead, have realized the possibility of the future. They are willing to do everything they can to show their worth, but they are not willing to make the outcasts feel comfortable - because it is the warm water used to cook frogs, which will completely destroy the possibility that there may be only one in 10,000 left.

Just listening to it, Delphinium felt a very strong sense of contradiction: a society of harmony between man and machine, continuous progress, and fairness and equality brought hope and light, while the wall of "talent" and extreme "efficiency" and "de-waste" made more people lose the value of existence.

Here, the directors no longer have supreme power, and everything is controlled by cold and impartial artificial intelligence.

It is an intelligent system that is far more accurate and understands human nature than the big data analysis of Happiness Island. But it is not used to constantly push all kinds of advertisements in people's faces, but to maintain the orderly operation of the city.

People are no longer so absurd and depraved, but they have become ignorant and religious.

Most people are struggling with the idea of thinking about others and are struggling with their ideals that they will never be able to catch.....

Knowing that no one persecuted them or restrained them, they were tormented in the oil cauldron of hell because of the conflict between the "meaning of existence" and the "moral conscience" they longed for.

This is the ..... that yearns for the light and respects the light Sogo? Hope and despair are intimately intertwined by people's pursuit of goodness and beauty.

"So, on Sogo Island..... The vast majority of the industries that ordinary people are engaged in are unwaged, voluntary labor.

"It's not about profit in the first place, so there's no AI to 'make it 'free' to lower the cost of living." Labor itself has become something to be fought for..... And it seems so hypocritical.

"Because they were able to work and were able to show their worth, it was only because the three sages did not take action.

"If the Three Sages really want to replace the industry, they have a myriad of ways to replace it with the highest level of optimization, with artificial intelligence. They didn't do it, they just didn't want it for a while.

"Human labor is worthless and meaningless. Only the best brains in society, in their eternal learning, can barely keep up with the progress of artificial intelligence, which is not so high in the allocated computing power. And most of the labor, compared to the machines that have acquired wisdom, is so clumsy, wasteful, and inefficient. The Three Sages look at humanity like mothers and fathers, like parents watching their children clumsily stir-fry a plate of dishes that are not at all delicious, and then eat them with relish."

Russell sighed, "I'm leaving Sogo Island, and it's not just because of Alice's last words." And even more so because of ..... There is a lot of light, but there is nothing but hope.

"Did you know that the population of Sogo Island is decreasing year by year? For those who are 'useless' are empty and idle, but they do not choose to give birth to offspring...... It's not that there is a lot of pressure to raise children, it's that they give up "the hope of 'letting the child turn around'."

"They recognize the limits of their talents. Adhering to the attitude of being responsible for the child, he chose to cut off his genetic inheritance.

...... I think, even in seven seats

Among the empty islands, Sogo Island can definitely be called the "best" one.

"All for one, one for all. There is no oppression and exploitation from the directors, no existential pressure and no endless advertising and fraud. People live in the light as equals, serve all kinds of gods in their hearts, observe etiquette, and respect others.

"There are no outlaws in the lower city of Happiness Island to take people's lives randomly, and there are no different levels of human rights like Sun Island, and there is no living space like Tongshen Island and Taoyuan Island, and civilians can't even bask in the sun. It's not like Holy Blood Island and Yongquan Island, where human lives will be turned into consumables, a number on the company's files.

"The Three Sages are fair and just...... They do adhere to the principles of "truth", "goodness", and "beauty", working for the welfare of the greatest number of people and reducing the pressure of life as much as possible for the largest proportion of people. The essence of the entire sky island is used to develop the most advanced technology...... People despair because they are rational and intelligent enough, because they have seeds of light in their hearts.

...... However, there is no room for ordinary people to "shine" together." "That's because they're really worthless."

In the face of Russell's whispering, Meishen only let out a gentle voice: "The corpse of a vegetarian person will only reduce the overall operating efficiency of the large system of society, and eventually lead to the waste of resources and the delay of everyone's time. Those repetitive industries that have no value will eventually die, and we are simply speeding up the process, just as every tool change in the past has led to increased productivity, a drastic reduction in workload, and job losses.

"It's all about efficiency - although the 'wish' of ordinary people to show themselves cannot be fulfilled, everyone's life is constantly getting better, all technologies are constantly iterating, life pressure is constantly decreasing, and the cost of living is constantly being optimized. Eventually, society as a whole will become incredibly efficient...... Those who are eliminated also have access to sufficient resources.

"We believe that this kind of pain is just a psychology called hypocrisy. Just as faulty code should be fixed, traits that are not conducive to survival will lead to the elimination of individuals...... It's just that human technology is too advanced, and the groups are too gentle and united, so that even the disability and disease cannot eliminate the individuals who should be eliminated. Therefore, when too many "weak people" have accumulated in the social group, and when the society has developed to the point where everyone has a platform to show their abilities, the truth about them as "outcasts" is finally exposed......

"To put it simply, it is the development of technology that has greatly reduced the mortality rate of human beings, so that human beings have too many 'reserves'. Far more than what is really "needed" to maintain a race, so as many resources are freed up as society becomes more efficient. That's all."
