Chapter 239

Aoki wondered, "but you just said that if a machine has wisdom, it will hide in front of humans. Then how can a LAN interfere with the answers of chat robots on its terminal computer?"

Mei Tui said with a smile, "of course a mosquito can't wake a person who pretends to sleep, but if 3000 mosquitoes keep buzzing in your ears and sting you from time to time, can you still sleep?"

Aoki nodded and finally understood that this test is not so much a Turing test as a game. Three thousand people constantly input information at the terminal in the LAN for a purpose. In the case of network disconnection, if the LAN really has wisdom, it is likely to show its feet.

"However, if the final test results are normal, or the abnormal value is very small, you can't prove that the LAN is not intelligent?"

"You're right, so this is only a part of the whole test." Mei tried to smile at Aoki, then turned to Mei Ziqing, "you can start, disconnect the Internet bar."

"OK, professor." Mei Ziqing went out and came back after a few minutes. "Professor, the external network has been disconnected, but he can't shield all wireless signals."

"Have you confiscated all your mobile phones?"

"All collected."

"Great." Mei asked Mei Ziqing to be busy, and then explained to Aoki, "the whole test is actually divided into three parts. What we just said is just one of them. It seems to be the largest, but it's the one I don't hope for."

The professor took a hard breath of the cigarette, spit it out, and inhaled half of it. The half of the smoke sucked back seemed to have been dissolved by his lungs. I don't know where it went.

"Before doing the whole test, our most important step is to make the Internet pay attention to the existence of our local area network, so as to transmit or split our consciousness. This step is very important. Without this step, the subsequent test will not be established at all."

"How to pay attention?"

"It's very simple. Spread out some things it cares about from here. When recruiting these students as volunteers, they don't know what they want to do in the end. Each step follows the process. They won't know what to do next until they receive new instructions. But we gave them a lot of hints. Young people today are very strange, you know He may not be interested in the things shown, even if they are valuable. But even if the things you imply are meaningless, they will also arouse their interest. With the imagination of young people, you don't know what this hint will become, and the more such specious things are, the easier it is to attract the attention of interested people. "

"What does it imply?" Aoki knows that the intentional person mentioned by the professor refers to the Internet.

The professor smiled and said, "you think, if our previous guesses are true, what does the Internet guy care about most?"

Aoki thought and said, "chips, artificial intelligence, aliens... What else?"

The professor said: "yes, put what you said together. Our hint to students is that a new technology that subverts the Internet is being tested here. Once it is successful, the Internet will not exist in the future."

"Is this too fake?"

"No, it's not all fake. Judging from the alien invasion, consciousness can exist independently. If humans interact directly through consciousness rather than material channels, the Internet may indeed be eliminated."

"Professor, are you talking about the space box and dream guide game you are developing?"

Mei chuckled and said: "This is still far away. Let's talk about the current experiment. Don't underestimate the creativity and energy of young people to spread information. During the week of networking, we don't prohibit them from doing anything. In addition to importing more natural network data, we also want to use children to spread the news. They discuss it through email, microblog, chat and forums , guess and exaggerate the facts. His imagination is very rich, and some ideas I didn't even think of. If the Internet had consciousness, these things would attract his attention. "

"As long as he pays attention here, just like the octopus's arms and feet, our local area network will become a branch, a nerve cord, or an important nerve center. Since he can input the second consciousness to human beings through a small chip, he will certainly inject a consciousness into the local area network. This is the premise. With this premise, We can complete the Turing test just now. "

"I see. There are two parts to getting consciousness and the Turing test process mentioned earlier, but it's not enough to measure whether the LAN has wisdom?" Aoki said.

"No, no, that's just the premise, the premise of the whole test, not a separate test part," Mei said. "The Turing test of 3000 people is only the first part, and the second part is the survival stress test."

"Survival stress test?"

"To put it bluntly, it is a choice between life and death. If the Internet has wisdom, it must not be willing to expose itself, even at the expense of countless LANs. However, in the case of network disconnection, the consciousness in the LAN can not contact the outside world, so will it sacrifice itself in order to hide the Internet consciousness? It's hard to say!"

"We installed a virus program on the server in advance. Once started, it will destroy the whole LAN, not only destroy the system software, but also invade the hardware system and scrap all chips. The only way to start this program is a small program on the desktop that uploads Turing test results."

"After the Turing test, everyone should open this small program and enter the test results in it. When he thinks that the computer or software under test has artificial intelligence, enter 0, otherwise enter 1. When the input number of 0 is less than 30% of the total, the virus program will start. That is, at least 900 people must think that the tested object has artificial intelligence , the virus won't start, otherwise the LAN will be completely destroyed. It's not paralysis, it's destruction, it's death! "

"Self preservation is the instinct of any intelligent creature. If the LAN has wisdom and consciousness, it must not want to die. If it wants to protect itself, it can't let the virus start." Mei Xu paused, took a cigarette, then smiled and asked Aoki, "what do you think it can do to stop the virus from starting?"

Aoki shook his head to say he didn't know. He is most tired of this kind of thinking. He can't think clearly about his own affairs. He has to think from the perspective of a machine. He doesn't want to suffer this crime.

At this time, Mei Ziqing has returned. She said: "the simplest thing is to make the result of 0 greater than 30%, but then the Turing test will pass, which can prove that the LAN has intelligence. More directly, it can secretly delete or modify virus programs. If it has consciousness, it should have this ability. But this will expose its wisdom."

Mei Xu nodded and said, "well, that's about it. There are some hidden methods, such as modifying the desktop program to make the input results inconsistent with the statistical results, but we can monitor these."

Aoki smiled and said, "Professor, it's a last resort! No matter what it does, as long as the virus doesn't start, it can prove that it has intelligence. This step is perfect, so what's the third step?"

Mei jiha smiled and said, "the third step is to ask you for help!"

Aoki said, "what can I do?"

"Once we prove that the LAN is aware, we will immediately start a program to let the whole network have an overload stress test, which is equivalent to running a marathon. When it is tired, we will cut off the connection between the server and all terminals and let the system go to sleep," Metso said

"You mean..." Aoki suddenly understood, "let it dream?"
