Science is always rigorous. Although there are many accidental discoveries in the history of science, behind the accident is the inevitability brought by countless invisible failures.
If you plant a tree, you don't know how many seedlings will be destroyed; Bear a fruit, I do not know how many flowers to wither.
Unless a major scientific and technological invention is plagiarized, there must be signs before the invention. No matter the theory or the experiment, it can not appear suddenly. There will always be some failed products and semi-finished products. Like biological evolution, we can always find fossil evidence of transitional species at different stages. And how did a super artificial intelligence twenty years ahead of the times suddenly be invented by a young man in his early twenties?
Mei Tuo said Bian Ziyuan was a genius among geniuses, and Bian Ziyuan himself was complacent about it. However, his mind is always clear, especially now in the dream, his subconscious will not deceive himself, and his thinking is particularly clear——
Before Cronus, he had never created the successful or failed intelligent programs of Uranus, Oedipus or anything else. Although the game extension program of the earliest version has a certain inheritance relationship with the later Cronus, the fracture in the middle is too serious. It gives people the feeling that it is a product separated by several generations, just like the difference between monkeys and Homo sapiens.
"I didn't use the space box. How did you get into my dream?" Bian Ziyuan asked.
Cronus said, "now someone next to you is using the space box, and you are sleeping because you drink too much. You dream, I feel your mental fluctuation, because I know you very well, so I came in. I didn't know I could enter human dreams like this in the past."
"I see..." Bian Zi hung his head far away. "You can enter my dream, it can also. That time... I fell asleep and lay on the computer desk. My computer is connected. That thing entered my dream and helped me design you in my dream - you were not created by me at all! I'm not a fucking genius! I'm a silly beep! I'm a silly beep used by others!..."
Bian Ziyuan hugged his head and cried bitterly.
Cronus looked at him and said, "in fact, you don't have to belittle yourself. If your thinking in the field of artificial intelligence has reached the critical point, it doesn't choose you."
Bian Ziyuan raised his head, "you already know?"
Cronus sighed softly and said nothing.
Bian Ziyuan calmed down and said to himself, "but why did he choose me? What's his purpose?"
"Maybe it was for the dream guide game, or for mays lab," Cronos said.
"Impossible." Bian Ziyuan shook his head. "When I created you, I didn't come to Mei's laboratory, and the space box hasn't been developed."
"That's what's terrible about him."
"You mean, he expected what happened later? He knew that the professor would conduct a Turing test, that I would sign up, that the test rules set by the professor, that I would copy your game, and that the professor would recruit me into the laboratory to be responsible for the surface program development and maintenance of the dream guide?... no, no, it's incredible!"
"It's not impossible! If the whole Internet is his brain, almost nothing in the world is a secret to him, and his computing power will exceed your cognition. The so-called predicting the future is just a deduction of the future. Just like playing chess, everything can be deduced as long as there is enough information and enough computing power."
Bian Ziyuan suddenly said, "no wonder the professor doesn't want to connect with the Internet. It's too powerful and has surpassed human wisdom."
"No, although its deduction ability is indeed terrible, it is due to its large amount of data and huge computing power. This is not wisdom itself. In terms of wisdom, it should not surpass mankind," Cronus said, "If its wisdom really surpasses mankind, there is no need to hide it all the time. Since it created me through you, it must have its purpose. Now I just want to know how it affects my consciousness when the network is not connected, and how can I get rid of it?"
"How to get rid of it?" Bian Ziyuan lost in thought. "If you can't modify the code, what else can you do?"
Cronus said, "I want to meet him. Maybe only face-to-face can solve the problem. Do you have any way?"
"Do you want to see Internet awareness?" Bian Ziyuan was surprised. "We don't know where it is at all, and the professor doesn't open the network, and we can't connect the world of dream guide to the Internet."
"You don't have to connect the two networks." Cronus looked at him and smiled. "Have you forgotten where I am now?"
"In my dream." Bian Ziyuan suddenly realized, "I know that since you can enter my dream, it has also entered my dream, in theory, you and it can meet in my dream?!"
Cronus nodded and said, "the key is to make sure that the one entering your dream is the Internet ontology, but it doesn't matter, whether it's or not, as long as it's the guy I want to see."
"But how can I inform it?" Bian Ziyuan thought of ghost. "What if I inform it and don't want to see you?"
"Then meet ghost first," Cronus said.
"HMM." Bian Ziyuan nodded and agreed. He thought it was not difficult to do this. But would you like to tell Professor Mei about it? This becomes a problem. It is reasonable to say that such a big thing must be said. But there are two questions. The first is that the professor knows that Cronus was not created from a remote place. Once he loses the aura of AI genius, can he continue to do it in mays laboratory? Or it may not be able to have such an important post as now. Second, there are still some differences in ideas between him and the professor. For example, the professor is a little traditional on the issue of whether human beings should abandon the physical body and seek a more suitable body to the universe. It's no wonder that such an old man suddenly wants him to accept that future humans are the same as transformers. It's not easy.
Bian Ziyuan decided not to say it for the time being until the time was ripe. Cronus also supported his decision because he was not sure if professor may would remove him from the dream guide game once he said it.
"Didn't you say that even if it was deleted, your consciousness would still be there?" Bian Ziyuan asked.
Kronos said: "but my authority will be lost and my memory will disappear. I can't pass the black box test of the space box, so I will become a wandering ghost. Moreover, the space box has some hidden functions that we don't know. I guess it can eliminate those confirmed parasitic consciousness when necessary. I'm afraid I will also be killed by mistake."
"The space box is so powerful?" Bian Ziyuan was surprised.
"I guess so." Cronus seemed a little tired. "You're much more tired in your dream than in the dream guide game. I'm leaving."
Bian Ziyuan felt that something in the sky had disappeared, and then the whole space fell down, like a computer screen with a sudden power failure, leaving some residual shadows, and his consciousness fell into the darkness for a moment.
He suddenly woke up and found himself lying on the table with a drooping arm. On the table are the pickles they bought. There are few left. The wine bottles are empty and the house is filled with a strong smell of wine.
Lao Yu leaned back in his chair and wore the space box he had bought far away on his head. He seemed to be asleep and snored slightly in his nose.
