Chapter 7 Let's talk about it in person
The discussion between Chen Nian and Chen Guo was quickly passed on to higher-level superiors, and as for whether it would attract attention and to what extent, Chen Nian was not sure.
Not to mention this kind of thing in the previous life, even in this life, there is a unified case, that is, the problem of the sudden increase in the difficulty of social management caused by the disorderly expansion of social media.
The most common manifestation of this stuff is rumors, and more seriously, rumors tend to suppress the truth.
Human beings are irrational animals most of the time, especially when the world is becoming more and more complex, the total amount of information is rising, but the cognitive ability has not been improved accordingly, intensive information bombardment, and finally it will evolve into "one-sided" shallow absorption.
In the beginning, you can only see the most superficial situation of one thing.
It's like a three-dimensional cube, and everyone can only see the outermost layer of skin.
Then, as the total amount of information continued to rise, people gradually lost even the ability to rotate the cube, and the situation evolved to "only see one side of the cube".
Eventually, someone found out, but instead of trying to correct it, they began to use this "feature" for their own benefit.
They used lights to shade the cube so that those who only saw one side could not see the real structure of "this side".
Now, there are many such "gaffers" active in the world.
In a sense, this has become a social problem that has to be solved.
——
And this is only the problem caused by a single "media" after the development of the Internet.
So what happens when a product, a piece of technology, starts to have an impact on the real world?
Chen Nian couldn't have too positive thoughts about this issue, because judging from the current situation, the ferocious expansion caused by epoch-making technology was indeed sweeping everyone
It made him feel a little depressed.
So, after dinner, he went for a walk with Chen Guo and Li Xiang to the lake outside his residence, and when he was tired of walking, he took the opportunity to sit down on the bench.
A few hundred meters away, on the opposite side is bustling with tourists and colorful lights, but on his side, there is only a street lamp and a bench.
It's just across a lake, but it's like two worlds.
Chen Nian frowned, not only did he not relax, but he became even more uneasy.
"One thing comes to mind."
He opened his mouth and said:
"If we're really going to limit the development of this technology, we have to do it as secretive as possible."
"Because obviously, it is impossible for the public to understand our thoughts-—— in their opinion, such restrictions are probably similar to the so-called 'quitting the Internet'."
"However, this type of secrecy is not good because the project is open from the beginning, and even a fool knows what it can do."
"It's really a huge contradiction, but."
"But it's not something you need to think about."
Li Xiang interrupted Chen Nian's words in a rare and unceremonious manner, and then continued:
"To be honest, it was supposed to be our job."
"But I would even go so far as to say that it's not something we should be thinking about."
"Do you know why?"
Chen Nian shook his head blankly and asked rhetorically:
"Why?"
"Because humans choose their own direction."
Li Xiang's expression was serious, but his tone was quite relaxed.
"No one is omniscient, no one can devise an infallible path for the complex chaotic system of 'humanity'."
"But the good thing is that although this system is chaotic, it is generally upward."
"And the core reason is the pursuit of happiness by human beings."
"Just imagine, in the past few thousand years, when the ability of human society to manage society was almost close to zero, we still survived - at that time we faced a worse environment, a more serious disaster."
"In that case, we didn't go to extinction, so how can we do it now?"
"Because of nuclear weapons? Because of the virus? Because of the so-called AI and digitalization? ”
"But don't talk about it, you are the creator of these technologies, don't you know, where the real boundaries of these technologies are?"
Chen Nian was stunned.
But soon, he had a feeling of enlightenment again.
That's right, you should take a long-term view.
Even, it should grow until after his death.
After all, the world still has to keep moving forward, and I have brought a lot of things to the world, but if I pull the scale to thousands of years or ten thousand years, it will be just a wave after all.
It's time to adjust your mindset.
Huaxia has left its first footprints at the summit, and it will climb higher and higher above the summit for a long time to come.
Others, in fact, don't have much possibility to catch up.
Well, at this time, you really shouldn't dwell on the little twists and turns that may happen.
The boundaries of technology are there, and even if it falls into the worst outcome, there is still a chance to adjust.
"I see."
Chen Nian said solemnly:
"Tomorrow, let's go ahead and see how our applications are doing."
Early the next morning, Chen Nian and his entourage rushed to the experimental base equipped with the "Spirit Eye" system.
This is actually a high school, and it is still a high school in the normal teaching stage.
However, this school is different from other schools, and most of the people who come here are those schools
Students who have less chance of going to college.
To put it bluntly, this is a bad school, a public school that specializes in accepting all kinds of children of migrant workers, bad children who have been eliminated by other schools and have no background, and "stupid" people who have no learning talent and can't really improve.
Chen Nian was puzzled as to why such a group of people were chosen as the test subjects, but when he walked through one noisy class after another, when he happened to see a student throwing a water bottle in the teacher's face, when he bumped into two students kissing in the hallway as if no one was around, and then walked into the classroom that used the Spirit Eye System, he did feel a strong contrast.
This classroom, indeed, is in session.
And it's an ordinary, even terrible teacher.
However, the students here can really listen.
Because the system makes up for the lack of manual teaching, it is not so much that they are in class, but that they are studying on their own under limited guidance.
"This can't be a plot set up for inspections, is it?"
Chen Nian asked maliciously.
Chen Guo, on the other hand, shook his head and replied:
"No, it's a real test case."
"The ongoing records have been archived, I've seen the briefing, and two months ago, it was a completely different situation."
"Is that an exaggeration?"
Chen Nian asked in surprise.
"It's really that exaggerated, but there are also peculiarities."
"However, I think you should talk to these students about the specific situation."
