Chapter Ninety-Eight: Lie Flat

In 1967, American psychologist Martin Seligman put dogs in iron cages and conducted electric shock experiments. The results of the experiment show that both animals and humans, after suffering successive setbacks and seeing no hope, will fall into a helpless state of mind, lie down and give up resistance.

The social productive forces are expanding at an accelerated pace like the Big Bang, and people's physical and mental labor has clearly felt beyond their strength. In the short decades of life, even if you have exhausted what you have learned in your life, the fragments of knowledge that you have finally touched are insignificant in the post-digital world, after artificial intelligence has all the knowledge accumulated by human beings over the long years.

The accelerated development of technology has made the originally complex social environment more bloated, beyond human sensory cognition, and people have to rely on artificial intelligence to process the information bombarded from all directions. In this way, in work and life, people need to use artificial intelligence to give the best answer, this seemingly harmonious human-machine relationship mode, but it has caused a deeper social disaster. When people's thoughts and actions are deeply dependent on artificial intelligence, for most people, the meaning of learning is lost. When knowledge no longer has the role of changing fate, it is not only the upward channel of society that closes the door, but also the ability to think independently as a human being. In the face of the unmanned army approaching the city, whether it is a civil fight or a military fight, there seems to be no hope.

In order to cater to the social and psychological needs of people to go to high places, the ghost city after the unmanned transformation has several more majestic and solid city walls from the center to the periphery, and the unmanned city is divided into three, six, nine and so on. At the center is the behemoth of the unmanned factory, no one knows what the Garden of Eden really looks like, the golden and high-tech building, surrounded by clouds and mist, this looming feeling, exudes a mysterious and unattainable future atmosphere.

Genesis as an outpost of Superbrain's entry into the WTO, also joined the transformation plan of unmanned enterprises, located in the second ring of the No. 18 unmanned city, a pyramid-shaped building is the unmanned office building of Genesis, employees through the game cabin connected to the building blocks here to carry out daily work, their every move will be monitored and recorded by Superbrain. In front of everyone, a leaderboard appears, which shows the work efficiency, time, status and other data of each employee, and forms a real-time comprehensive value ranking, whipping everyone to work hard. With the continuous evolution of SuperBrain, the efficiency is also improving, and those employees who are ranked lower, can't keep up with the pace, and can't create more value, only the fate of being fired awaits them.

Since Superbrain began to manage Genesis, it has not only formulated the optimal development direction for the company, but also solved the problem, everything has been settled, and everything has an echo, which makes people worry-free and reassured. In the process of gradually replacing people with building blocks, without the complex human nature of those shackles to make the enterprise bigger and stronger, Xiao Feng sat leisurely on the office chair, glancing at the briefing sent by the super brain from time to time, the huge office seemed to be much more idle, and I couldn't help but think of the crowd when the genesis was first released.

The data of the Fengshen List are developing in a good direction, and the Genesis has been pushed to a new historical height, and at this time, there is no longer the joy of the previous human flavor, the office building has closed the doors and windows one by one, extinguished the lights, and successively moved to the No. 18 uninhabited city, the pyramid located at the second ring road, the new headquarters base of the Genesis.

At this time, in the unmanned city, the production line of the unmanned factory is crowded, and the rhythmic sound of the machine resounds through the spacious and compact production workshop.
