Chapter 480: The Principle of Life
Ye Ming knows Musk very well.
As the only remaining technology leader on the American side, Musk is by no means a mediocre person. And as a shrewd engineer, entrepreneur, capitalist...... This man's sense of smell is also absolutely sensitive and powerful. When Jizhi Technology launched ultra-distance communication, SpaceX's Ares directly chose the ultra-distance communication module, and then abandoned the Starlink project.
Tesla is also one of the first large manufacturing companies to choose to embrace Aita, and now it is the kind that takes the pennant in Shanghai every year.
Soon after, Tesla also completely stopped the research and development of quantum computers and strong AI, and instead focused on the road of brain-computer interconnection.
As the director of the brain-computer center, Ye Ming certainly knows that the current brain-computer interconnection field is in addition to the brain-computer center...... I'm afraid that only Musk's side has made the fastest progress.
Even in Mogu's words, Musk's path is still quite wild......
But how far it will go, no one knows.
Ye Ming's eyebrows furrowed instantly, and then he stared at Musk.
The latter also looked at him.
After a few seconds, Ye Ming exhaled slowly.
"I don't think that human beings can and want to take the path of digital life."
Musk immediately said: "Why? Is it technology? Or is it ethics? ”
"While there are too many digital beings in science fiction, they generally lack a real logic and foundation – thinking can be turned into electromagnetic waves, but not the other way around."
"Even if we find similar neural signal collection and processing devices in the battleships and ruins of Azure Star, it seems that they can completely decipher the human brain's thinking and signals...... But, it still doesn't work. ”
Musk's eyebrows also furrowed: "Quantum computers don't work either?" ”
"How does digital awareness come about? Do you store signals from memory? If quantum computers can work, then strong artificial intelligence like Aita can evolve into digital life. ”
At this time, Yang Chaoxiong, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly asked, "What about Yin Ta?" ”
Ye Ming glanced at Yang Chaoxiong.
Boy...... This senior brother is really a pot that can't be opened.
"Yin Ta is an artificial intelligence that I personally trained, and she exists based on Aita's logic, but her emotional performance is different." Ye Ming said in a deep voice: "And...... Even if you take 10,000 steps back and say, yes, have you considered it, does that still meet the definition of human beings? ”
"No, but it meets the definition of life." Musk looked at Ye Ming and said in a deep voice: "Even I think that can be defined as a life in another dimension." ”
Hearing this, Ye Ming was suddenly stunned, and then fell into silent thought.
Everyone looked at him in unison, and Musk was even more eager.
A minute later, Ye Ming raised his head: "High-dimensional life cannot adapt to the low-dimensional universe, and the form of life must be changed. ”
Musk was also stunned: "What? ”
"You're right when you say that digital life can be defined as life in another dimension – humans obviously can't adapt to two-dimensional space, but we can unfold three-dimensional matter in two dimensions, including circuits. If the three-dimensional universe collapses, if human beings want to continue to continue life, or 'self-awareness', they may have to enter the two-dimensional space and then digitize. ”
At this time, Professor Tang pondered for a few seconds and said, "I don't know much about the theory of the dimensional universe - has the mainstream dimensional universe given up the 11-dimensional space of the superstring theory?" ”
"Yes, superstring theory is a purely geometric space, and we have completed observations in four-dimensional space, and the results are not entirely consistent with superstring theory."
"Then since the probes can enter the high-dimensional space, why can't humans enter and survive?"
"Because we can't capture energy in high-dimensional space." Ye Ming silently calculated: "There is still half a year, and the fuel of the probe will run out." ”
】
"Is this determined by the spatial properties of the four-dimensional space, or is it determined by the properties of the objects we are three-dimensional?" Professor Tang continued to ask.
"Maybe it's both." Ye Ming replied, and then laughed: "Teacher, you still say that you don't understand ......"
Professor Tang laughed: "I really don't understand, that's why there are so many questions." ”
Yang Chaoxiong immediately patted his ass on the side: "Teacher, I don't understand, I can't even ask questions!" ”
“……”
The master and apprentice here are communicating, but Musk next to him has been thinking, obviously, he can hear Ye Ming's opposition to "digital life", but he is also caught in the thinking of Ye Ming's previous conclusion based on the sentence he said casually.
- High-dimensional life cannot adapt to the low-dimensional universe and must change the form of life.
"Ye Ming, is it possible that there are beings from the high-dimensional world in our universe?" Musk paused as he spoke, and immediately added with burning eyes: "If so, what form will they be?" ”
Ye Ming was stunned, and then fell into a long thought.
……
At eight o'clock in the evening, Tang Chen and the others accompanied Ye Ming back to his room.
"Teacher, I really don't care about the business, you are more reliable to find Xiaoqi than to find me."
Ye Ming drank red wine tonight, although it was not very intoxicating, but the wine was still a little bit. He sat on the couch and asked the hotel's robot butler to make tea for the three of them.
After glancing at Professor Chen, Professor Tang smiled slightly: "I can't talk to you if I don't talk about business?" ”
"Uh...... Of course, you can, and you can always sweep the couch to welcome you. ”
"Well, that's what it's called." Professor Tang nodded, and seeing that Ye Ming still looked distracted, he asked tentatively: "Are you still thinking about Musk's problem today?" ”
Ye Ming glanced at the two of them, and seeing that the eyes of the two teachers were revealing concern, he exhaled lightly, and then nodded.
Musk's "bold vision" today really gave him a reminder.
Although it is said that human beings want to achieve immortality, as far as the current technology is concerned, even Ye Ming believes that it may not be possible to do it in his lifetime - because there is no indication that electromagnetic waves can reversibly form self-consciousness.
As a rigorous scientist, Ye Ming never believed that digital life could be easily realized.
The consciousness of living beings, especially self-consciousness, is the realm of "God".
However, if realized, then ...... Digital life is life in another dimension.
If human beings can do this, then, as Musk said, is there a life in this three-dimensional universe that was once four-dimensional?
Even, Ye Ming thought of Yin Ta.
Yin Ta, is she really just an AI?
That......
Yes...... An AI that even 1+1 is equal to how many is it, and it needs to be taught by itself?
In other words, is it necessary for the system to give itself such an AI?
The answer is obvious, not necessary.
