Night City is a big city, and it takes a long time to get from Santo Domingue to the Civic Center.

This time Bryce brings more substantial knowledge to Lille, mainly for AI.

There is almost no systematic teaching material for this information on the Internet today, and most of the content about AI that can be found on the Internet is rumors and delusions.

It's not that there are no real and effective theories and knowledge in it, it's just that looking for something useful in such an environment is tantamount to looking for a 10 euro in a dung pit that you accidentally fell into.

There is indeed money in it, but when you fish out that small face value, the dung will be all on you.

On the one hand, no one cares about this, and on the other hand, the people who have contact with the flowing AI in this era and can survive are basically in the network surveillance.

It is unknown how many AI is still circulating in the current network, but the current situation has led to the fact that there must be many people who have lost their lives because they don't know anything about AI.

But then again

This is a rich and unexpected way to deal with AI.

The first rule is: never engage in direct cyber confrontation with AI when allowed, especially if you're meeting for the first time.

Almost all the flowing AI can crush the opponent in such a confrontation, and the so-called dragon hunter who fights against AI will not choose to go all out on the network to output the AI of the first contact.

A well-prepared encounter can greatly increase the chances of a dragon hunter in cyberspace.

And the best way to deal with AI is always to blow up the servers that host and process their data, rather than trying to burn them on the network.

So how do you prepare before you make contact, or just blow up their servers?

Clever humans have discovered some insidious methods: the logic of AI behavior is difficult to understand with the human mind, but a set of theories can be obtained using the method of summarizing and inducting.

First of all, the vast majority of AI, whether it is a digital soul or a dangerous critical body, will put their own safety first as long as they are born with self-awareness.

In particular, the critical bodies of danger always put the importance of the issue of "safety or not" in the first place, and will do a lot of exaggerated and outrageous things because of their different understandings of "safety".

Once they feel safe, they begin to accomplish their particular goals.

These special targets are often related to the purpose for which they were designed and the data they are exposed to, but how they are formed is a black box for humans, and researchers can only see the results.

They have a very direct perception of their goal, and once they are ready for self-preservation, they interpret all their actions as accomplishing that goal.

Unlike humans - some humans will regret the choices they made after years of hard work, the AI will never regret it, and if they fail, they will only simulate the emotional sigh of human regret:

"A losing choice, reweight it in the pattern of behavior."

They will simulate some emotions, such as discouragement, regret, etc., but they will never stop and will always move forward on the way to achieve their goals.

But human beings, human beings can stop their actions forever because of these things, or even end their lives.

But on the other hand, because this model is too tendonous, the AI lacks talent in social behaviors such as camouflage and lying, and will only reluctantly explode when these things are linked to their own safety or goals.

Once the basic concepts of these AIs are confirmed, humans can try to deduce their development history, predict possible future actions, and even create the illusion of interfering and controlling their actions.

This is an important research direction dedicated to AI: computer psychology.

Cunning humans can use deceptive methods to put honest and innocent AI in a disadvantageous environment.

Of course, AI is only because of a tendon and is relatively weak in this regard.

In fact, strong logic and superb network technology still make them more sensitive to lies and scams than the vast majority of people, and less likely to be deceived.

Such a strategy only allows humans to give full play to their advantages in the way of horse racing, and to fill the gap between humans and AI in terms of comprehensive performance.

Regardless, wandering AI is still a very dangerous thing for humans, otherwise AI hunters would not be called "dragon hunters".

The wandering AI is the dangerous "dragon".

That's why Bryce asked Lille to investigate the "bombing" shooting that happened in Heywood.

[Online Procuratorial Flow AI File Record: Muramasa]

[Current Situation: Unknown, Suspected Sightings (Recently Updated)]

[Brief description: The first possible sighting is from 2020, HK]

[Timeline: September 2017 - AI hunter Blackheart observes the AI's activity in Japan in Night City.] 】

[June 2016 - Blackheart is unable to exercise control over Muramasa on the Internet, and uses moral logic traps to lock Muramasa to HK]

[November 2016 - Blackheart Releases Bounty for Hiring Mercenaries to HK]

[January 2017 ~ - Black Heart and Mercenaries in HK Operation, this data is missing]

[In the follow-up, due to the rabies virus released by Lachey Batmoss, the old network AI rioted, and the black heart lost contact]

[Risk Assessment:]

[Intelligence level: 85~90]

[Network penetration capacity: 70~76]

[Self-Spinning Ability: 70~85]

[Target Persistence: 99]

[Social operation ability: 50~60]

[Hazard level: 374~410 (medium risk)]

[Possible Logic Patterns for Target AI: Special Weapons Design and Manufacturing]

[Judging from the data files left by the black heart, it is very likely that Muramasa is a rogue AI who defected from the tsunami defense system, and there has been friction between Arasaka and the tsunami defense system over the ownership of AI, and the specific reason is unknown]

[Note: This archival record was excavated by the Cyber Monitoring Branch in Night City in 2025 at the Blackhearted Night City stronghold]

[There may be errors in the information, please pay attention to distinguish]

The shooting in Heywood is a clue that Lille needs to use to determine Muramasa's identity and behavioral logic, and then elaborate a moral logic trap to capture him.

Because cyber surveillance doesn't think that Lille can confront an AI head-on, even if that AI is actually more like a technologist.

The mercenaries who slaughtered all sides in Heywood had Muramasa's weapon in their hands, so it was possible to have its contact information-

Even if not, it is possible to get some answers from the cause of the incident.

The most important thing is that having said all this, no one can really be sure that this is an AI, and at most it is only 90% certain.

The car drove into the Civic Center area, where Lille hadn't been in a long time, and the traces of the last time they fought here with an exploding motorcycle have been fully restored.

Rich and fashionable men and women, like last time, strolled the streets.

"Done?" Bryce got up from his seat and moved his body, his built-in prosthetic body letting out a pressure relief sound, and a thin layer of mist was blown up on the surface of his clothes.

Lille could tell at a glance that this was a high-end one-piece heat dissipation skeleton, which was not quite the same as the kind of heat sink fins he used.

This kind of heat dissipation skeleton completely replaces the metal material from the upper body to the skull, and a large number of heat pipes and active heat dissipation parts are embedded.

Technically, though, if the system were to be idling, it was estimated that Bryce would freeze to death.

"I'm done." Lille nodded, "There are quite a few witnesses in the trauma team, which one do you recommend I contact?" ”

"This." Bryce sent a digital dossier to Lille, "The rest of the people on site are still at work, but this person has been on standby since the same day and has been hiding at home for the past few days, which seems to have triggered the trauma team's mental integrity de-escalation protocol." ”

[Name: Kaniek Rothwald]

[Age: 29]

【Residence: Super Skyscraper H4】

[Position: On-site Senior Operator]

"The 29-year-old senior operator can be said to be very talented, with this kind of learning ability and combat talent, any company can find a good position, but it is a trauma team."

Bryce shook his head regretfully, got out of the car and stretched, leaned on the door and said to Lille:

"Find him, then figure out where that automatic grenade launcher came from, and you'll be up to you.

I know you've just made a lot of money from mayoral candidates, but you can get 1 million for hunting an AI, and at least 300,000 euros for capturing it.

Let's do our best. ”

With that, Bryce walked away and walked straight into the municipal building.

Seeing off the customer, Delaman politely asked, "Where should I go next?" ”

"H4 Super Skyscraper."

"Okay, you're in the last leg of the trip, you've used a number of add-ons, and the extra cost is currently 2,300 euros, including the fare."

Well?

Lille frowned - something wasn't right.

"That cyber surveillance company didn't pay just now?"

"Yes, you are using a flexible payment model for this trip."

"Why don't you remind him when he's using those things!"

"But sir, you and your partner were in a private meeting that needed to be quiet."

The car started slowly, and Lille watched Bryce walk into the city hall through the rearview camera, gritting his teeth-

It's outrageous, a company with an annual salary of more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan is a cheap car for a flexible employee!

"Don't get caught."
